Eliezer Yudkowsky claims self-replicating solar factories are physically easy, while Eric Falkenstein puts the probability at less than 1e-100

@NoahTopper you can't post yourself

@NoahTopper Sorry but posting yourself on this is negative aura

@NoahTopper Lol nice.

And in 2024, before Yud’s book where grass is the example used. Was grass the canonical example in arguments about this before?

@NoahTopper

@sidereal111 But my posts perfectly match my sense of humor!

@cjwynes No! He used amoebas before, and switched to grass after this exchange.

@redtachyon @NoahTopper it would be but he's right and this is one of the goat posts

@sidereal111

@NoahTopper Nice

@NoahTopper meh

@NoahTopper the GOAT

@NoahTopper Ok but also grass absolutely is a miracle that should not work

@NoahTopper ok this is good enough to self post

@NoahTopper @sidereal111 I'm proud of that tweet

@NoahTopper That’s your own post. That must be so satisfying.

@NoahTopper is it not uncouth to suck own dick

@tinkady2 @redtachyon 🙂‍↕️
