What is interesting here is that if more & more volume goes to private exchange activity, then as the volume dries up on public exchanges, there will be more volatility.. and more reason to move to private exchanges.

There must be some point where this becomes self defeating though, no?

When people wonder how humans can alter something as big as our atmosphere... well just remind them that US airlines have travelled 2 light years within it. That's just US airlines!

Cybertruck reminds me of the Moon Patrol buggy.

what boggles the mind is that there doesn't seem to be any way to avoid absorbing this stuff. it's in the food, the air, the water. even if you try to filter the air or filter your water.. the filters are made from plastic!

So would using these cell modifications, in the case of growing organs perhaps, require germline modifications?

Or what are other types of uses for these cells?

given that we don't remember what happened before our lives, and most likely when we die we enter a similar state... so that life starts whenever a physical life begins (later a mental life starts and exists until the time that physical life dies)... Then the idea that all creatures are conscious is a pretty bad idea. It means that being a conscious being such as a human is ridiculously improbable, given the very high ratio of all conscious creatures count vs human count.

Could these processors help Intel move further into AI inference?
