My comment about "Polish oil" is probably right so I guess you go ahead living in your fantasy world.

That colonization happened when there weren't other humans there. Later colonizations were either unsuccessful or led to very nasty events.
Also, today jobs are concentrated in places where things are expensive.
Excuse me, but what could you possibly do with a ~360sqm house than one half the size wouldn't do? A family of 4 for sure fits in even a smaller one.
Let alone creating and enforcing new effective regulations.
Hugging Face was another AI company. Do you see many of those suing each other and especially the top dogs in the field? Also, do you think it's a coincidence NVIDIA bought Hugging Face ASAP to stop any damaging anti AI waves from happening?
The other incentives aren't enough. All the labs are basically Russia against Ukraine in 2022-206: launching high caliber imprecise ballistic missiles against military targets surrounded by civilians. Whoever orders that knows civilians will do die but doesn't care.
AI labs aren't using proper sandboxing measures for their agents because that would slow down their testing. Plus any hacks that happen, short of breaking into Trumps social media accounts, only cause the kind of publicity they want.
When were anti trust, anti cartel, anti monopoly laws last enforced?
Last I read about them their tunnel boring tech wasn't revolutionary, it was just smaller diameter tunnels.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? It's a marketing gimmick with lower transport capacity than a horse and buggy (and similar travel speed!) that's distracting cities like Vegas and Nashville from actual public transit.
It's an abject failure.

If my grandma had wheels, she'd be a bycicle.
Also, my guess is that you guys are all American. For the kind of money they're investing they could just start an automous train/tram company and the environment and humanity would be much better off.
Let's stop pretending he's God.

> The United States may establish additional defense areas in Greenland and strengthen its military operations or facilities. Either Party may identify the need for a new Defense Area for the defense of the North Atlantic Treaty area, Greenland, and the American continent. Such Party shall provide a proposal describing the location, scope, size, and types of activities of the proposed Defense Area as well as other modalities such as mitigating measures, including those necessary to take account of the 1991 Memorandum of Understanding and the 2004 Joint Declaration. The Parties shall immediately convene to engage in consultations through the Permanent Committee to decide implementation details based on <<<<<mutual agreement>>>>>.

The US still needs Danish agreement for new bases.
They have very vocal and entrenched users so that practically no defaults can be changed lest the single Amiga user will start a huge uproar.
And since they don't really have a BDFL or commercial pressure, they can be super detached even from standards or expectations that appeared 40 years ago.
Neovim was basically a reaction to that, for Vim, where they updated defaults to stuff basically every Unix editor since 2005 has.
There are few places I've seen that seemed as dull or boring when walking through them as the LA metro area, for example. Yes, there are also awesome looking neighborhoods, but damn, I didn't actually realize those concrete brick 1 floor no sloped roof buildings were truly universal as were those very ugly vacant lots with wire fences.
I imagine most LA residents are just used to them plus they only drive by them.
I'm not sure it's doable with current OS architectures, though.
What do you mean? They need to recover hundreds of billions in sunk costs?
2. LLMs have raised the floor of digital content creation ("democratized content creation"). Before lots of things would have not been created due to lack of knowledge, interest, motivation. Now the baseline for making something is a 10 word prompt. Personally I think it's a huge loss. Yes, we will get 5% "diamonds in the rough" who would have never approached a field due to gatekeeping, discrimination, whatever. Will that outweigh the other 95% of lazy creators flooding every field with around average content? I'm not convinced. There is a cost to that flood.
