    They can’t? I should watch that series again… Anyway, good point, but of course they can’t, because the phaseshift forces truly massless particles (like photons) into a state of quantum entanglement.

    That means photons hitting them, create an entangled twin that only exists long enough for them so see their surrounding. The “original” photon however just passes through making them invisible to others. Energy from the surrounding is used to create the twin, cooling the surrounding shortly. However, since the twin is immediately reabsorbed (and the entanglement broken), you basically can’t detect the effect.

    I don’t have a good explanation for how they can breathe, how they see without interacting with light, how they can hear clearly when matter isn’t really touching them and therefore can’t conduct sound, etc.

    That is obviously due to a phase shift in the quantum fields, which is correlated to the mass of the interacting matter (through the Higgs field). This leaves you interacting with light stuff like air and light, but prevents you from interacting with solid stuff like walls (and potentially force fields, if that would fit the episode).

    Of course, artificial gravity affects the mentioned phase shift by bending spacetime.

    And now I must go, before my handwaving creates enough energy to form a black hole.

    Oh yeah? And what if the AI hallucinates stuff like self driving cars within a year or I don’t know, wants us to colonise another planet before we are even able to preserve Earth…

    or maybe it suddenly wants to pay a random amount of money for another entirely unrelated company.

    I mean, sure it could “run” multiple companies, but the decisions would probably be completely random, like renaming Disney to xXx or something similarly insane.

    Nah, I think that makes it pretty clear, that we absolutely cannot afford to replace CEOs with AI!






  • I’m using Ubuntu derivatives since many years. I’ve looked at Arch in virtual machines and was very much lost. Even with Manjaro I didn’t get along. I’m still testing EndeavourOS, which looks promising.

    So to me, Arch is too much hands on for my lazy ass. However, if you like to nerd yourself into it, it’s awesome (I think).
