Also, water feels wet.
My house had all these unused calories, so I set it on fire. Now it’s getting warmer than I would like.

If the UN’s issuing a warning then it’s already been happening for a while.
I mean yeah, that’s the idea.
Dunno, it helps toward making the vast majority dirt poor, global north included, while enriching the oligarchs. So, on average, more equality. Yeah, ’not like that’.
Wouldn’t it be the not spreading that’s the issue? Aka only some people have access and others do not.
‘may’ ? That’s a good one. As if that wasn’t the plan all along.
It’s what the investors pay for.
I wouldn’t be surprised the next step in the “AI revolution’s global inequality” would be to get people to generate electricity mechanically. Nuclear power plants have nothing compared to human will.
So that’s what Fifteen Million Merits was actually about…
