If raw materials isn’t the bottle neck for life every where, then what might it further down the line between oceans full of nucleotides and life? The oceans themselves?

I think it’s less about tools and more about the spaces that humans operate in.

You don’t need a human-like hand to hold a tool made for humans. As an extreme example, you can make a robot operate a power drill with strap to hold it and a servo with a small bit of wood to operate the trigger mechanism.

But for a robot operating in a space made for humans there certainly are some physical requirements which are based on the human form: maximum volume and clearances, stairs, fragile fixtures that can’t be operated with too much force, etc.

Ever walk through some over-crowded antique shop where you need to twist and lean your body to avoid knocking into thing?

Ah, so this is why many companies end up full of sociopaths who contribute nothing to the actual revenue of the company: they all managed to weasel themselves into the “profit centers” while the chumps doing actual work that keeps the lights on remain in the “cost centers”.

It only looks bright if the laser is aimed directly at you. But I suppose even that depends on the wavelength used.

Its only bright for a couple of nano seconds, then it gets really dark ... for ever

If you’ve had soups and broth made with lots of bones, and you want to recreate that same mouth feel and experience without using loads of bones, then you can achieve that by using gelatin, because gelatin is exactly what the first dish had that yours is missing. It’s literally the missing ingredient if you’re not cooking with the bones.

Also, they simply aren’t perfect replacements for each other. Agar and gelatin are certainly similar in many ways, but the are not the same.

He says that he encourages the pieces to only transported by re-shipping them through FedEx, so as they change owners and travel the world they will become progressively more damaged.

This is a refreshingly pragmatic approach to modern art and I love it.

This is the worst take on “it’s not art” I’ve ever read. You can look through any art history textbook and it’s filled to the brim with classic art that convey lots of information.

So even if they fix the issue, it sounds as though you can still shoot itself in the foot by essentially being at to arbitrarily change an existing key from “not a secret” to “is a secret”?

Even if you have a key that you use for maps (not secret) someone could add the generative AI scope to it and make it now necessarily secret (even though it’s probably already publicly available)?

Apparently discussing that Die Hard depicts murder and violence is a banned topic and thus the comment is flagged as off topic.

Uh oh -- that's shoudldn't happen. Or rather, we don't want that to happen.

DId you try tweaking the settings? We'd be most grateful for feedback on tweaked settings.

For instance, can I ask you to turn down toxicity and see if it accepts it?
