> Sure, it might cure cancer, but… that’s just uncertain. Sure, we’ll go to space, but… we sure have many problems at home.

We're not going to space. We're filling our own orbit with ever-increasing quantities of space junk and speeding toward a tipping point where space launch will no longer be possible due to near-certainty of collision. Mister "Let's all go to Mars" Elon Musk is the single greatest contributor to this problem.

Well done, but kind of annoying that winning and losing the game both lead to the same clip.

You must be fun at parties.

Unlike Chuck Norris I'm the life of the party.

When you're walking around with your finger over your face all day, you should extend your thumb as well, so everyone can tell you're a Legend.

Maybe I should just get a custom sticker for my forehead. I'd fit in at cons with everyone walking around as a hologram

Let's send them thousands of tiny violins.

> Employees who are impressed by vague corporate-speak like “synergistic leadership,” or “growth-hacking paradigms” may struggle with practical decision-making, a new Cornell study reveals.

Hey, I find that type of lingo nauseating, and I still struggle with practical decision-making.

The robots featured in the embedded promotional video appear to be mostly useless. This is the opposite of impressive.

Poorly reasoned. Offers assertions with nothing to back them up, because "that's not what we designed it to do". Yudkowsky & Soares tore all of these arguments to shreds last year.

Reasoning doesn't matter, you canne' beat the laws of physics capn'

If you haven't heard his Bohemian Rhapsody cover, it's something else. He flat out admitted that he had never heard the song before recording it. Which... Number one, how? And number two, who let him do that?

I think the smart money is still on nuclear war, but the competition is getting fierce these days.

I think there's a strong argument for generalized systems collapse. It's a silent civilization killer, could be happening right now!

But which system first? Could be climate, could be financial, could be political (as in "politics is the alternative to violence")

I'm talking more about a slow decay that is not obvious to a single generation. One person in one lifetime wouldn't even smell it, but everything would be slowly corroding underneath.

Definitely not a big single disaster scenario. More like a "wait, we don't fix things anymore" or "wait, we have way less food variety than before" realization when it hits.

Nuclear war is overrated. Too focused to really damage distributed systems, too hard to start, too few working nukes. Many of the old rockets on all sides likely won't even fly correctly. Now drop world shipping via blockades and active war zones, and the industry collapse would be worse than anything Sarah Connor saw.
