Also good job if progress in battery miniaturization efforts scare you more than backflipping robots because you don't think "oh great, phones that last longer" but rather you have slaughterbot swarm nightmares.3 replies 11 retweets 72 likesShow this thread -

"historically-aligned": stuff that we know from history that humans will do, try to do, and that will matter under the current economic, political and social incentive structures.
