Yes, quite obviously. Given the amount of grift supply required by the donors of the politicians today, Fed doesn't have the money printing capacity anymore.

Yes it would have, a bit later into the bubble.

But perhaps you can ask former treasury secretary Paulson, formerly of Goldman and Sachs, the Lehman competitor, about it. He must have the details on that non-bailout - if anyone does.

Don't try to drag this down to kindergarten level. It is unbecoming and says bad things about you. Sure, only something like 10-15% of the human race are actually rational and can fact-check, but these people exist.

No. You cannot. This bullshit statement shows that you have no clue.

And do you have any proof of that or is that just what your decidedly non-expert evaluation is? It is _very_ easy to get things totally and completely wrong in the medical space.

What if you just want to be abysmally stupid? Sure, you can be. It is not illegal or something. But do not push it as a model to aspire to, because that will harm _others_ and at that point you leave what is acceptable.

Sure. But why do people not want to do it? Using your mind is the only way to get better at it.

And that is a problem that is actually pretty hard and expensive to solve. For software. An experienced and smart human can do it easily. A machine cannot.

That is one thing I do not get. Silence is nice. Allows you to think clearly.

At the very least it would curb extreme cases like the one from the story.

"I invented everything wonderful! I even invented Al Gore, believe me! Radios and TV's used to have big glass tits and wankers that glowed orange, such a wonderful color, but they were big and heavy, like Rosie O'Donnell, so nobody wanted them.

So I got one of my bone spurs med tablets, soaked it in Diet Coke for 3 days, stuck wires into it, and it became the very first Trans Sister. I hated that woke name so called it Capacitor instead, and even made it flux. Some say it can go back in time, which I may do to get my Nobel Prizes back, that Hannibal Lecter and Autopen Joe stole from me. Everyone knows they are Filthy Antifa Crooks!"

Obviously, sooner or later we will want to do things that require our physical presence. And be it because the ping time to Mars really, really sucks.

Robots are way easier to engineer for space than humans, even though space is so unforgiving that that's not trivial, either. The same is true for other planets. Building a robot that works well in 0.2g or 5g is an engineering challenge but doable even with today's tech. Humans... not so much.

But let's be honest here: We want to go out there. The same way humans have found their way to the most remote places and most isolated islands on planet Earth, expansion is deeply within our nature.

So, robots for exploration to prepare for more detailed human exploration to prepare for human expansion.

And maybe, along the way we can solve the problem that any spaceship fast and big enough to achieve acceptable interplanetary travel times (let's not even talk about interstellar) with useful payloads is also a weapon of mass destruction on a scale that makes nukes seem like firecrackers.

Has What If? already done a segment on "what happens is SpaceX's Starship slams into Earth at 0.1c" ?

No serious researcher wants a single company (much less NV) to "own the bridge that every quantum computer will need". Seriously, fuck NV and their proprietary bullshit. CUDA is bad enough, now they have to deal with some new-fangled version of NVLink? Hell Naw.

People want helpful AI that doesn't hallucinate, code crap code, tell you to eat glue or commit suicide.

The stock price "growth" while the government is pumping the bubble, just like the last time around.

Send lawyers and politicians, nobody will complain.
