An entity that isn't bound by human vulnerabilities could go places that humans either can't (or really don't want to) go, like planet Mercury. It could send us abundant building material from Mercury to build moon cities and orbital colonies, then abundant carbon dioxide from Venus to help pressurize them.

All the sci fi guys want to write about traveling to other star systems, but the one we started with is remarkably good. If we can make a robot-ship to siphon gas giant atmospheres we could hypothetically build giant fuel refineries to power primitive interstellar ships, but also fuel for traveling between solar system colonies to continue massive human growth.

I was thinking the other day, it would be nice if it could just predict the weather successfully. I’m sure we have enough sensor types, if we just increase the quantity and feed the data to it, it’s more a matter of ml than ai. Weather men could be the first job lost to ai and no one would really care - they’re wrong half the time anyway

Why don’t we just make a list of things AI could help with then we can dispense with these shit news articles that everyone churns out to fill spaces where the news was supposed to go but the reporter got drunk and didn’t make the deadline.

The first Star Trek movie was loosely based on this, with very investing results
