It’s really incredible how I can no longer tell what’s satire and what’s very real opinions and ideas being shared seriously
Tech bros suggesting we live in a hive city is believable
It’s actually already proposed
What? That’s not at all what that article describes.
That’s talking about using federal lands to build towns. Towns with very odd and selected features, but I don’t see anything even vaguely like a hive city in there.
Don’t get me wrong still terrible, just for other reasons
promoting a specific social and aesthetic vision
And also
proposed by Donald Trump
🤔
In this case, “proposed by Donald Trump” is like saying that a ventriloquist dummy with a hand up its ass and someone else mouthing the words has proposed something.
those are closer to company towns than hive cities
I dont like the sound of that.
You are very correct to not like the sound of that, IMHO
I don’t like it and I don’t want it
if you can’t tell that this is satire maybe some time off of lemmy is warranted
Tech bros unironically suggesting insane bullshit like this tho, that was a flavor
The blue check mark is throwing me off.
Is your comment also satire cause idk how you can think this post isn’t
I think maybe ‘irony poisoning’ is overhyped and we should talk more about cynicism poisoning. So, so much rhetoric on lemmy and reddit only makes sense through the lens of the most cynical theory of mind possible. An opportunity for malfeasance existing is assumed to be proof of malfeasance.
I actually believe that >90% of people are evil for all intents and purposes and I still think the rhetoric needs to chill.
Yeah and even if it’s a joke, it’s only a matter of time before some billionaire asshole takes it seriously
You don’t want to live in a matrix-esque human pod?
What kind of nutrient paste will I get in the pod? Horse or better?
Horse. Definitely horse.
so where do we sign up?
I’m sorry, but what about this cube is “population sized”?
Well, if you liquefy the entire human race, it would fit into a container with roughly those proportions.
In fairness, you can probably keep enough whole humans to stack in there without touching and then just liquefy the rest. That should save some money and time.
If you keep stacking them high enough with a perimeter strong enough to keep them contained, the heat and pressure would eventually get high enough to liquify the ones at the bottom.
That is hands down my favorite P&R moment
Are we compressed into the gigantic meat cube mechanically or are we assimilated into it like the Borg assimilate species?
Everyone gets a 1’x1’x6’ cell to luxuriate in. If my memory serves…
Weve got room for whole other 2/3rds of a person in here
So $4-8k/mo before utilities.
If it’s serving lasagna, I’m in. I haven’t had good lasagna in years.
The cube is the lasagna.
Be the lasagna you want to see in the world.
I’m not lasagna though I’m straight.
Real G’s move into the cube in silence, like lasagna.
We got a beef and short rib lasagna from costco the other day that was straight up decent
Pretty sure that’s feet not meters :( I demand a bicycle camper’s worth of space, or I vote, strenuously object, against this.
So if we double the cube we can have a 2’x2’×12’ space? That might be better than some NYC apartments already
Check out the high ceilings in these luxury cubes
I think you just start pitching people in, and the compression happens naturally as the people pile up.
Good news though. Without using any math or science, my AI determined that the people at the bottom will be under enough heat and pressure to become oil, or diamonds or both. Just put a spigot at the bottom so we don’t lose that economic value in the bodies of the people we’ve systematically crushed to fund our lavish extravagant lifestyle.
Obviously, I will be one of the top people, so at first thought, who cares… but on 2nd thought, I don’t want to end up swimming in oil.
It’s a sort of human pyramid meets human centipede.
I think you just walk into the fluidic solid walls, like the Homer into the bushes gif, except face first, where you are slowly enveloped by the acceptance of the warm loving collective.
You’re run through a grinder to join the mega-meatball.
Even though those are very different procedures, I fail to see how the outcome could be any different.
I believe the first step would be dehydration.
Both.
It’s all good until someone farts
have you smelt my brand?
it’s had buildings cleared until they saw me and said “it’s just this guy’s farts false alarm”
We can have two cubes.
am i getting my own farting cube because i want an angry dome too. i’ll share the angry dome but i won’t share the farting cube. i mean i’ll share the farting cube but after one fart it’s mine.
WARNING: INCOMING GAME
exactly what i saw aswell
Such a stupid take. You build a data center in Sydney when all the people are in NY? Think of the latency!
We need to build a giant spherical data center and humans will crawl on the outside like ants. No one will ever be more than the circumference away from another user, and all traffic can be routed through the fastest and shorted physical route.
Then the rest of the earth gives us 24/7 solar power. 10/10 super happy love love!
But it’ll take four and a half billion years to compile its model and just as it’s about to be completed the Vogons will destroy it to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
They built the Dyson sphere to exclusively power grok. The sun no longer licks the earth with its warm light. The land based datacenters on earth, now buried under hundreds of meters of ice, provide the few remaining sources of heat through their exhaust shafts. The last of the surface bound human refugees cling to them as camps and villages pop up here and there. Sustaining themselves on Jensen Huang brand “Hot Dog flavored” meat-like rations, they gather in small villages hobbled together about the exhaust vents. Unable to exhaust enough carbon from their blood they can’t even risk letting their core temp drop. They know atmosphere as well the cold to be their prison wall. There they huddle for warmth, rationing, and waiting for the next hoard of autonomous PolyGPTMarket Enforcement Drones. Waiting to learn whether their agenetic overlords placed enough stake on their survival, or that the day had come - that they might be swept down the shaft, macerated and baked into hot-dog flavored oblivion.
Did someone say…
0 m² only 2000 a month then
40k type shit
Some of us have faith in the Emperor to protect us.
So that’s how the Judge Dredd timeline started.
I feel like I’m already in it.
how big is the cube, and how much space per person?
One average person volume per person.
But the AI gets more than 1 AI space per AI? No fair. We should split the space equally!!!
that sounds like something a communist would ask
How much space you get depends on your credit score

No brain for damn sure
that cube could fit anywhere , not just newyork !
Pish posh where else is there?
This was an episode of Star Trek.
