I don't want a city on Mars

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

@nickofnz I’m OK with a city on Mars so long we can send all the people responsible for the other items on your list to live there and it doesn’t destroy any more of our planet getting them there.

[nickofnz@mastodon.nz]

@billbennett yeah I could live with that

[leighelse@mastodon.nz]

@billbennett @nickofnz Also we should plot their trajectory for maximum economy. It doesn't matter if they take eighty years to get there, as long as it uses less fuel.

[billbennett@mastodon.nz]

@leighelse @nickofnz I don't actually think it will happen... at least not in the next 100 years. We may get a human or two there at a pinch... we may even manage to get them home again. But that will be the sum total.

@nickofnz I want the birds to survive.

@nickofnz Fucking bees, man. I really gonna miss them once the tech bros win

[oldguycrusty@mastodon.world]

@nickofnz

Yes. All this.

That said, the sooner #LeonSkum can make the move to #Mars, the better for all of us on planet #earth

We don’t think about bees as often as we should.

[axomamma@mastodon.online]

@billbennett @nickofnz I'm fine with a little bit of damage.

@nickofnz

Real AI would also want clean water, a stable climate, and bees to survive.

We have advanced godsays in our apps.

[iveyline@mastodon.nz]

@nickofnz Me too!!

[colinstu@birdbutt.com]

@nickofnz @atkelar 1%: what did water and climate and bees ever do for us?! *destroys more*

[quincy@chaos.social]

@billbennett @nickofnz

Too expensive to get them all there.

A simulation should be enough

(given that some tech extremists peddle the idea that "we live in a simulation", they can't even really complain!)

[stairjoke@indieweb.social]

@nickofnz I agree, but a research lab on the Moon and Mars would be neat.

@nickofnz "I want it all. I want all and I want it now!"

@nickofnz How selfish of you /s

[knowprose@mastodon.social]

@nickofnz Clearly, people like us are the selfish ones.
