Listen... I don't know what's going to happen, but I promise if I can just build a big enough computer *something* incredible is going to happen. Maybe a portal will open or something. Or the voice of God will materialize. So my great plan is to just build a huge computer and find out what happens. (please invest)

How this ends:99.999 percent chance that nothing happens you just have a big computer0.001 percent chance *something happens*Both outcomes are bad if you think about it.

@futurebird perhaps it will discover the ultimate question to the answer behind Life, the Universe, and Everything?

@futurebird Be careful with big computers, you can never predict the outcome. 😉Have you ever read this?:

@futurebird If you *have* a big computer and nothing happens, give access to researchers who don't have a cluster of their own. Let it work on science problems. Instead of drafting emails nobody will read, let it help create research papers (that nobody will read 😋).

@futurebird I mean, that’s kind of the premise of building bigger colliders

@futurebird Your pitch is missing a key element - you can fire employees if you invest in it.

@futurebird I have no interest in ai(Anymore, sadly. My capacity for stupidity is non-zero, but I learn.), but this is my response every time I encounter a bigger better computer. The size of my bank account and a sense of responsibility to the people I love keeps me sane, but left to my own devices…

@futurebird eh, not really, if your computer is too big, the only thing that happens is it writes off the end of the buffer and overwrites the start of the next object. And the only thing that's at the start of the next object is its location. So some object gets displaced to somewhere else in the solar system. But is it likely to be an object people will miss, like an important building? Well, no; most of the objects in the solar system are just chunks of ice in Saturn's rings.

@futurebird There are some guarantees though: 1. Harm will be done; 2.

@futurebird I'm a billionaire. I'll invest $1 million and then promote the hell out of your idea for you so I can turn that 1 into 100 then we both cash out early and leave the bag holders
