I hope this saves the world economy if the US defaults on its debt, which is looking increasingly likely in the coming decades...

This has to be a record for the most downvoted comment on Lemmy, holy moly. This is a huge absolute margin even for reddit.

Easier to just chuck excess resources into space though. :)

Thank you! I'm currently researching space thrusters after finally researching the logistics bot system. With so many light-years to go, I'm excited to see where I will be!

It's literally the opposite in my place. The cold spigot will release 90F water when it's 60F outside. The hot spigot is even hotter.

If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can't trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?

Looks like LMStudio is FOSS although I'm not 100% sure. What if does is allow you to run FOSAI models locally.

This is a better comparison than the post itself, and we should also be putting the minimum wage on the graph to compare the gains.

Not the most fair comparison. Compare it to the richest people in 2012, as extreme wealth ebbs and flows with inflated "funny money" stocks.

That's not how exponential growth works. The pay increase would be in the ballpark of 50% per year for that amount of gain in 35 years.

And remember, wealth accumulates in passive investments, so even if you made $7.25/hr for 35 years, you'd have over $1m if you didn't spend any of it and it accumulated at over ~3% per year.

I had work that week, so I couldn't get much in. The day before I was itching so I started a space exploration save and got a little attached to that even though I never made it past military science. Now I'm playing space age and have just built a rocket!

I'll add more details:

The start was poor, with widely spaced starting resources, no choke points, and a dry climate which absorbs pollution the least. The only good thing was a nearby small oil vein. So for the first few hours, I intentionally didn't scale up as not to anger the biters. I actually researched military and gun turrets before automation.

Then, I scaled up but minimized pollution by switching to solar power with only 8 steam engines running, and made many efficiency modules. With that, I could focus on getting bots and trains, and heading to space, and that's where I am now.
