When it imploded, the Titan was at way higher pressures than Venus's 92 ATM so I'd totally trust this longtermist dipshit to keep me safe in a 900 degree F sulfuric acid sea thirty million miles from earth.
I don't see why tech asshats get to have all the fun.
@ct_bergstrom I’m in, teach them to talk, extend their life a bit, sounds like a good time to me.

@ct_bergstrom

Backward step for Corvid cognitive capacity - why?

@ct_bergstrom They will eat him before second breakfasts.
@ct_bergstrom i’m a strong supporter of his plans for 2032
@ct_bergstrom that first bullet point πŸ˜‚β€‹
@ct_bergstrom I'm happy to report that the second goal has been surpassed!
@ct_bergstrom
Giant ravens would eat us, & who could blame them.
@ct_bergstrom random ass-biology professor πŸ€”

@ct_bergstrom

I have a feeling that the crows I've been giving peanuts to on our balcony are smarter than some tech CEOs.

ETA: Love that you specified that you are the one on the left of the two images (as in the original; so easy to confuse humans with planets or corvids) πŸ˜†

@ct_bergstrom a hypothetical future civilization of hyperintelligent crows could harm uncountable billions of future humans if they turn out murderous-- this justifies an extensive and lavishly funded research program for sure!
@kdund @ct_bergstrom
Hyperintelligent crows in the future will simulate billions of copies of everyone today who opposes bringing hyperintelligent crows into existence, and peck their fingers. Ouch! Better support the meta-crow development project!
Roko's Corvus corax.

@ct_bergstrom

No no, that is a very valid dream compared to what the tech ass hats and some governments envision as the future. I can actually support that. I would 100% bring gifts of peeled nuts to the birds

@ct_bergstrom finally- a useful invention built in a garage!
@ct_bergstrom I for one welcome our new Hyper-Corvid masters
@ct_bergstrom You forgot to be lit with green on one side and magenta on the other
@ct_bergstrom Oh hell yes! If we are going to build a distopia, let's make it with corvids!
@ct_bergstrom I particularly like how the image caption notes Carl Bergstrom is on the left instead of the photo of a raven.
@ct_bergstrom I would like to see that.

@ct_bergstrom but do tell us more about how the corvid paradise is coming along

please

@ct_bergstrom it's not difficult to see that the corvids are way more intelligent than this guy already.

@ct_bergstrom
@Skiriki

this is the future that liberals want

@fsnk @ct_bergstrom I can see nothing but huge benefits in this future. Even cats must accept it.
@Skiriki
omg this is the buddy movie I didn't know I needed!
@ct_bergstrom
@ct_bergstrom tech ceo level intelligence that's a low bar though, basically requires no social skills and ability to repeat phrases.
@ct_bergstrom Is this a guy that read #Seveneves and actually enjoyed the feverdream final third?

@ct_bergstrom

I'll put down two billion for uplifted UW crows thank you

@ct_bergstrom

Can there be super intelligent ants too, please?

@futurebird @ct_bergstrom

Taking from "Godel, Escher, Bach" - it is the colony that is the unit of intelligence, so, maybe there already are...

@ct_bergstrom I for one support our corvid overlords
