and they're creepy.

I'd rather have an R2D2 that does dishes, I don't wanna hump it.

"They're eating the pets!"

"Give me more money for killer robots."

But they need a trick to get the planes there so everyone can exit Toronto.

But it will be best sinking ever seen in the history of all the universes, even the ones beyond Jesus, believe me!

"Teacher! My homework at my dog!"

Either way, it's 50% you'll get fired...or your pet dies.

So that's 1,280 cats.

Such can be "faked" with traditional methods by generating random connection graphs and world parameters such that a world is never same since the chance of say 7 parameters being the same is effectively nil.

The parameters may be say average thickness and height of walls, number of warlocks per castle, friendliness of trolls, brick texture, avg. tree height, princess bra size*, magic spell duration, etc. (Diff world types maybe have diff parameters.)

* You know, things that matter to guys. Have a moob-mode for those into that.

Such is for rich people who want bragging rights. If it bellies up, it's pennies to them.

Thank You plutocrats for being the guinea pigs for we plebeians! We'll reward you with yet more tax breaks and dereg!

What's wrong with just pre-generating worlds? Is this a solution looking for a problem?

640 worlds should be enough for anyone!

The 4 Great Inventions will all kick in at the same time in 2039: fusion, flying cars, dish-washing robots, and 0.8c starships.

Then in 2041 the robots will take over and burn all humans for fuel.

Stellarator reactors are far simpler to construct. I believe computing power will eventually catch up to the hard job of taming their flow.

But if a tokamak produced a practical power plant, then investors would probably fund heavier stellarator R&D (in addition to tokamaks).

I couldn't find any stellarator-centric stocks, but I would like to snag some before any fusion reactor hits the bigtime.

I correctly predicted the solar boom, but unfortunately my stocks were US companies, which China swamped via gov't subsidies. Right church, wrong pew. Stocks are like a slow-motion Vegas that actually pays out most the time (in aggregate).
