There’s basically no way to answer these questions using real physics I’m afraid.

It definitely can’t close it’s mouth faster than the speed of light. Yes it would have a strong gravitational pull, almost definitely so strong that it would just collapse into a black hole and not be able to exist. If it weren’t that dense, then it would basically just be a big diffuse gas cloud that couldn’t do much anyway, it would basically have to be a proto galaxy to not collapse into one.

If it’s using magic to exist, then anything is on the table.

That’s not entirely accurate, the force it applies to close it’s mouth would probably travel at or close to the speed of sound along its jaw, but it could reach the speed of light by applying that force if you ignore a number of problems. One of which is that it will turn into a black hole at that scale, it’s much too dense.

On your second point, it’s hard to make any of those into galaxy killers. Supermassive black holes exist at the centre of virtually every galaxy and don’t do a ton, and even quasars only have limited killing range as there are limits to how collimated a beam of radiation can be. White holes are more complicated and I don’t have enough space in a single comment to go into the nuances, but they’re about as harmless as black holes really.

The only thing I can think of that would destroy all life in a galaxy would also destroy the universe, and that’s to trigger a false vacuum decay, but that might not be possible anyway.

Fuck this illegal government, Albo is a fucking coward and a hypocrite.

Shame

I was so confused by this title because I kept reading it as pro hate towards Israel lol

This isn’t minimal publicity, minimal publicity is what they got when they directly targeted fossil fuels by blocking the supply lines.

They do it because the stuff you’re asking for doesn’t work that well, but this does (that said they do still engage in those actions as far as I’m aware). Activism is about making noise, there aren’t many tools beyond that and they’ve worked for all sorts of issues in the past.

The point is that JSO doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

Yes. Almost no one smokes in Australia because of them

Well, they are doing both

Not all of us get downvotes, I see them pretty much daily…

NAB did the exact same thing after the banking royal commission

Yeah true, I guess if you can enforce that as a standard there’s already tons of research on swarming behaviour with drones to work with.

How about fast trains?

Please?

Aren’t other flying cars going to be the dynamic part of the environment? Is what I’m asking

Imagine having to work out self driving in 3D traffic though. I guess at least you won’t have pedestrians, mostly.

I don’t use it, but I know companies checkout my profile whenever I apply so I made my profile look really good, added a ton of skills and completed a bunch of the certification test things.

Up until recently when jobs in my industry dried up, I would get recruiters contacting me weekly at a minimum. I’ve never actually used it as a social media platform, and I don’t understand why people do tbh.

This is a very confusing article to post, this was from 2014

Stop lying, Saudia Arabia has no plans to reduce oil production.

Saudi Arabia is the third largest oil producer on the planet, though often they are second. So no, they’re CO2 production is not negligible, they just export it, and that’s worse IMO

Ah I understand.

I’m not talking about that either, and I’m not against automating jobs. I’m more talking about preventing unecessary harm, I don’t really want to say who I work for but our company will shutdown entire storefronts and just lie about why. The union works to ensure this sort of thing doesn’t happen unfairly, and that people have access to the legal support they need when it does, among other things.

The reality is that they aren’t working bullshit jobs, and we don’t automate everything they do. Even the things we do automate require their constant help to support, but the business doesn’t care and will just fire them because they see some vague report suggesting they can.

Creating jobs is much harder, of course, but there are things we can and should do to make sure transitioning people out of those jobs is as painless as possible. I’m honestly of the opinion that we shouldn’t have to have jobs to survive, and that pushing for good social support is a necessary part of increasing automation.

As a loosely related aside, even though my job doesn’t qualify for being bullshit, I definitely feel like I’m wasting my life doing it, but I have no other choice except dying.

Is it our responsibility to help people? I think it is if we’re helping to hurt them. While we can technically throw the blame up the corporate chain, I think we need to have personal responsibility for our actions, I understand that you, as I do, likely rely on your job to exist, but we can still push for the least harm possible.

If you advocate up said chain on behalf of others, then that is good too.

I’m aware of what this technology can do, I actively use some to help with my work. But I make sure it’s as ethical as it can be.

And AI art is not really all that useful. Just because you can automate art doesn’t mean it’s a waste. I think that’s a dreadfully bleak view.

Helping funding research is great and all, but maybe they should pay all the people they’re stealing from? Or at the very least get consent.
