lol the people at both csail and the media lab are loving intolerable cretins and i�m around them frequently.

th� media lab people were pitching this perfect internal grow setup in a shipping container that did not work for like a billion reasons but they deployed them to like a dozen local schools. they even got caught replacing vegetables with store bought ones for demonstrations.

shits lit

I fondly recall a twitter thread or something where an actual expert demonstrated that that was state of the art like thirty years ago (except it actually worked)

Sagebrush: Feb 26, 2012; ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.

yeah but if you call it a "grow box" instead of a "personal food computer" people won't throw millions of dollars at your lab

remember how kimbal "the other" musk was going all in on shipping container hydroponics a few years ago?

remember how they wound up being the shittiest sub-hobbyist grade hydroponics systems?

his meme war conspiracy nonsense from the early MGS games looks a bit prescient if you squint and ignore all the batshit insane stuff that didn't pan out

the prediction generally considered the best and most prescient is this bit in the villain's speech near the end of metal gear solid 2 about modern methods of information control:

quote:

Colonel : But in the current, digitized world, trivial information is
accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness. Never
fading, always accessible.

Rose : Rumors about petty issues, misinterpretations, slander...

Colonel : All this junk data preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at
an alarming rate.

Rose : It will only slow down social progress, reduce the rate of
evolution.

Colonel : Raiden, you seem to think that our plan is one of censorship.

Raiden : Are you telling me it's not!?

Rose : You're being silly! What we propose to do is not to control
content, but to create context.

Raiden : Create context?

Colonel : The digital society furthers human flaws and selectively rewards
the development of convenient half-truths. Just look at the
strange juxtapositions of morality around you.

Rose : Billions spent on new weapons in order to humanely murder other
humans.

Colonel : Rights of criminals are given more respect than the privacy of
their victims.

Rose : Although there are people suffering in poverty, huge donations
are made to protect endangered species. Everyone grows up being
told the same thing.

Colonel : "Be nice to other people."

Rose : "But beat out the competition!"

Colonel : "You're special." "Believe in yourself and you will succeed."

Rose : But it's obvious from the start that only a few can succeed...

Colonel : You exercise your right to "freedom" and this is the result. All
rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt. The
untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and
accumulate in the sandbox of political correctness and value
systems.

Rose : Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid
of a larger forum. They stay inside their little ponds, leaking
whatever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society
at large.

Colonel : The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh. No one is
invalidated, but nobody is right.

Rose : Not even natural selection can take place here. The world is
being engulfed in "truth."

Colonel : And this is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a
whimper.

this was released in 2001 and sounds very much like what happened when social media was invented less than a decade later

and then there's death stranding, which is eerily similar to the isolated contact-averse world of today in too many ways to list, except instead of pandemic it's ghosts

it is way too early to be making definitive statements about the effects of the bodies of the living being eaten by ghosts
