The first and most important “hardware” we need right now does not come from nVidia.
AI, e/acc, transhumanism, longtermism… Never mind them. There is only one reality, the one in which we are physical flesh that needs physical food, coming from physical matter from physical land. But as things stand now, unless we deploy the “AgI” that is Agriculture Improvement soon and fairly, sooner or later all we humans alive today will endure fairly substantial food supply shocks, none of which could matter less for hypothetical quadrillions of future superhumans.
of the right things, of course. What about… “BOXES”?
We could save lots of money and live better if we tolerated much less standardization in certain things, and demanded much more standardization in others.
For example, we tolerate socio-digital standardization that’s made to order to empty and flatten everything meaningful, from political debate to dating, in relations among human beings, each of which is UNIQUE. That’s not a sign of a smart species that values itself.
