I do subscribe to his ideas that technological growth is not currently exponential but even steeper

Technically it is a real video game but yes. Amazing piece of technical work. Sad that the main dev seems to be a bit of chud. (But he now has a ~30 person team).

They corrected it and made it even dumber, tech growth is steeper than exponential growth.

i gues we’re all living in the post-scarcity utopia then, because otherwise such growth would exhaust resources.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

[Especially don’t debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
