It's really incredible how I can no longer tell what's satire and what's very real opinions and ideas being shared seriously

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 63 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Tech bros suggesting we live in a hive city is believable

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)
[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 weeks ago

What? That's not at all what that article describes.

That's talking about using federal lands to build towns. Towns with very odd and selected features, but I don't see anything even vaguely like a hive city in there.

Don't get me wrong still terrible, just for other reasons

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

those are closer to company towns than hive cities

[–] CainTheLongshot@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

promoting a specific social and aesthetic vision

And also

proposed by Donald Trump

🤔

[–] lemmock@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

In this case, "proposed by Donald Trump" is like saying that a ventriloquist dummy with a hand up its ass and someone else mouthing the words has proposed something.

if you can't tell that this is satire maybe some time off of lemmy is warranted

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Tech bros unironically suggesting insane bullshit like this tho, that was a flavor

I'm sorry, but what about this cube is "population sized"?

Well, if you liquefy the entire human race, it would fit into a container with roughly those proportions.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In fairness, you can probably keep enough whole humans to stack in there without touching and then just liquefy the rest. That should save some money and time.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

If you keep stacking them high enough with a perimeter strong enough to keep them contained, the heat and pressure would eventually get high enough to liquify the ones at the bottom.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 3 weeks ago

That is hands down my favorite P&R moment

[–] karashta@piefed.social 46 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

Are we compressed into the gigantic meat cube mechanically or are we assimilated into it like the Borg assimilate species?

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Everyone gets a 1’x1’x6’ cell to luxuriate in. If my memory serves..

If it's serving lasagna, I'm in. I haven't had good lasagna in years.

Be the lasagna you want to see in the world.

I think you just start pitching people in, and the compression happens naturally as the people pile up.

Good news though. Without using any math or science, my AI determined that the people at the bottom will be under enough heat and pressure to become oil, or diamonds or both. Just put a spigot at the bottom so we don't lose that economic value in the bodies of the people we've systematically crushed to fund our lavish extravagant lifestyle.

Such a stupid take. You build a data center in Sydney when all the people are in NY? Think of the latency!

We need to build a giant spherical data center and humans will crawl on the outside like ants. No one will ever be more than the circumference away from another user, and all traffic can be routed through the fastest and shorted physical route.

Then the rest of the earth gives us 24/7 solar power. 10/10 super happy love love!

[–] Kommeavsted@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

They built the Dyson sphere to exclusively power grok. The sun no longer licks the earth with its warm light. The land based datacenters on earth, now buried under hundreds of meters of ice, provide the few remaining sources of heat through their exhaust shafts. The last of the surface bound human refugees cling to them as camps and villages pop up here and there. Sustaining themselves on Jensen Huang brand "Hot Dog flavored" meat-like rations, they gather in small villages hobbled together about the exhaust vents. Unable to exhaust enough carbon from their blood they can't even risk letting their core temp drop. They know atmosphere as well the cold to be their prison wall. There they huddle for warmth, rationing, and waiting for the next hoard of autonomous PolyGPTMarket Enforcement Drones. Waiting to learn whether their agenetic overlords placed enough stake on their survival, or that the day had come - that they might be swept down the shaft, macerated and baked into hot-dog flavored oblivion.

But it'll take four and a half billion years to compile its model and just as it's about to be completed the Vogons will destroy it to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

how big is the cube, and how much space per person?

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

One average person volume per person.

But if we just get rid of humans altogether, then the cube is also free for AI to build a huge data center to run agentic workflows.

This was an episode of Star Trek.

Peter Thiel would build a wall around it and declare himself the benevolent king of humanity as blood oozes out from the bottom. Then he would grab a straw and get busy quenching his thirst.
