yeah ok

apparently they lost contact less than 2 hours into the trip, but also didn't notify the ship that that happened for like 7 hours, not sure how that works but I'm sure impending litigation against soon-to-be-defunct Oceangate will get to the bottom of that

The Sub Ceo, complained that having communication with top side interrupted his enjoyment of piloting the sub. So he opted with a datalink that cut out when they reach a certain depth.

"Despite US, Canadian and French authorities having expanded what is the deepest undersea rescue operation in history to cover some 10,000 square miles of ocean, an adviser to the submarine firm warned that the extraordinary mission had been hampered by red tape, bureaucracy, and a lack of urgency on the part of US officials."

Probably a minor point of safety but should that sub been colored something other than white? Is there some regulation on this that was ignored or didn't apply? On the remote possibility that the sub surfaced and is bobbing around, I would imagine that white sub would blend in with the white caps of the sea.

look they got a business to run. color paint ain’t cheap.

yeah the US Navy's rescue submersibles only go down to 2,000 feet, and the ocean floor is 13,000 deep in the vicinity of the Titanic wreck

state of the art ballistic missile submarines, for example, do not operate at anything even remotely approaching that, and if they sink to that depth they implode catastrophically and everyone dies anyway

With an experimental hull nobody else on Earth thought was a good idea to use it in a proper vessel. Gee why isn't the entire western hemisphere moving to find it? Oh and they opted out of putting a beacon on it lol.

If it is bobbing around in the surf they'll suffocate in a hot box with their own puke sloshing around everywhere, safety just on the other side of the hull, which despite being not being strong enough to keep the ocean out, is strong enough to keep you inside.

Like ever see a modern lifeboat? Sea sick city. It's meant to keep you out of the water and visible, and that's pretty much it. In rough seas it's a pukebox.

If they're somehow on the ocean floor, they've probably froze to death since it's just above freezing down there. What did someone say about temperature changes and carbon fiber again?

sorry I don't mean to especially privilege it, just kinda point to how its different because of how easy it is to move around. Nuclear requires advanced facilities, and that ties the energy to a location, but you can ship a generator on a fossil fueled truck and then provide energy.

But energy as you point out is not purely fungible with labor. Only whatever we can use machines for. One of the really dark sides of computer touching is how often the work is basically supplanting labor with energy in the form of computer power - more things only humans can do become things machines can do and thus a thing that can be done with energy as a commodity.

this all could be a good thing in a different society - but alas.

no need to say sorry. I'm going to take it a step further, not to correct you or anything just cause I thought of it.


in capitalism firms are expected to make profit, in the long run anyway, all of them. But you can imagine if computers replace people, the operating cost gets displaced from labor to other businesses - computer manufacturers, software developers, energy suppliers get paid instead of laborers. But there is no way all businesses profit by buying from other businesses for less than the value of the goods. Or in other words, businesses cannot profit moving goods between them - that part is zero sum.

So profit has to come from some process that happens after the computer and energy and software are all bought. Imagine replacing human artists with computers and AI that churn out images. The value of the images goes low, but so does the cost, in fact the value goes down to just that of the computer + software + energy once the technology is something anyone can buy, because anyone looking for images will just go 'why pay this guy when I can just get a computer that does it for me'.

So only in the window where only certain firms use AI, or where some AI process that gets unique desirable results is held under patent, can firms charge more than cost, and make it more profitable to use AI. They are using AI in a labor world, not AI vs AI

that's why profit rate falls as capital replaces labor, but in the short run replacing labor with capital (AI in this case) counteracts the long term trend

profit can only be extracted by the separation of labor from capital (means of production), and replacing that labor with capital has the long term effect of there being less profit

The falling profit rate motivates capitalism to capture and create new markets and to consolidate industries into monopolies, among other methods of counteracting falling profit

Did you know that when a submersible implodes at that depth that the air pressure in front of the wave is so high that the air actually combusts? In the split second before you are crushed by the pressure of the wave you are hit by a wall of fire.
