Carl T. BergstromWhen 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.
Que@ct_bergstrom Iβm in, teach them to talk, extend their life a bit, sounds like a good time to me.
Glenn Fleishman@ct_bergstrom Great photo!
IceNineBackward step for Corvid cognitive capacity - why?
LAUREN@ct_bergstrom They will eat him before second breakfasts.
Richie Enameller@ct_bergstrom iβm a strong supporter of his plans for 2032

Pax Ahimsa GethenI 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) π
Knut MorΓ₯@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!
Grant Canterbury@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.

Tim Macinta@ct_bergstrom - let's hear him out.
From Robin with Love@ct_bergstrom πππ
Ludovic Archivist LagouardetteNo 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

Mark Hoofnagle@ct_bergstrom Crow-tech slaps.

Tony Cava@ct_bergstrom finally- a useful invention built in a garage!
Dreaming of dad jazz.@ct_bergstrom I for one welcome our new Hyper-Corvid masters
City Atlas@ct_bergstrom You forgot to be lit with green on one side and magenta on the other
Andrea Stocco (he/him)@ct_bergstrom Oh hell yes! If we are going to build a distopia, let's make it with corvids!
Warren Currie π¦ π¦@ct_bergstrom I particularly like how the image caption notes Carl Bergstrom is on the left instead of the photo of a raven.
Luis@ct_bergstrom I would like to see that.
Rowyn@ct_bergstrom but do tell us more about how the corvid paradise is coming along
please
Sammi@ct_bergstrom it's not difficult to see that the corvids are way more intelligent than this guy already.
fsnk 
this is the future that liberals want
Skiriki Fyxe@fsnk @ct_bergstrom I can see nothing but huge benefits in this future. Even cats must accept it.
flere-imsaho πΊπ¦@ct_bergstrom tech ceo level intelligence that's a low bar though, basically requires no social skills and ability to repeat phrases.
balletproof vest@ct_bergstrom @mawhrin Bergstrom more like Birdstrom
Katrien M Michiels@ct_bergstrom where's the Kickstarter page?
Kevin Davidson@ct_bergstrom Is this a guy that read #Seveneves and actually enjoyed the feverdream final third?

Maximilian Overdraft, Esq.@z3r0fox @ct_bergstrom Move expensively and kill guinea pigs. That's technology for ya!
Aranjedeath@ct_bergstrom I only trust the subs, planes, crafts, jets, whatever that the CEO themselves will operate themselves. If he's not on the maiden voyage, that tells us everything
@Aranjedeath Sadly that heuristic failed the passengers of the Titan.
@ct_bergstrom did it? CEO got flattened a couple months ago?
@ct_bergstrom if he got flattened, I must salute
Kasey Smith 
@ct_bergstrom Holy shit, that's absurdly improbable.
Dan Brekke@ct_bergstrom But where's the vision and sense of daring? Why not aim for the surface of the sun?
Lyle Solla-Yates@ct_bergstrom damn, my crackpot obsessions are becoming fashionable. Is it too late to recant?
ronp@ct_bergstrom wait, are you telling us not to sign up for the trip???
Jill the Pill@ct_bergstrom
Yeah, it is all cute and all that he wants to crush a bunch of idiots, but have a look at how the "jaw-dropping" greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution from these fool rocket launches affect the rest of us.

π³@ct_bergstrom That makes mars look easy, and I believe NASA when they say that's not easy.
Jonas TrostleReminds me of this clip:

"How many atmospheres [of pressure] can the ship withstand?"
"Well, it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one."
Over 150 Atmospheres of Pressure
Mike JπΉπ π€π»@ct_bergstrom I'd bet I could come up with a list of 1,000 people I'd like to send to Venus.
OGJester has moved@ct_bergstrom Shhh! SHHHHH! You guys! Heβs talking about sending a thousand rich assholes to their certain death at the most hellish planet in our solar system! I am FOR this!
@OGjester @ct_bergstrom Rename Venus Galt's Gulch and the worst people in the country will be lining up to go.
@mikej @ct_bergstrom hell yes! Or brand Venus as the planet where woke goes to die or whatever.
Steve Torrente@ct_bergstrom He can't pay out on the OceanGate lawsuits unless we invest in his Venus thing.
@ct_bergstrom I'm supportive of his plan, as long as I get to choose the 1,000 to go
