I strongly suspect you have some wires crossed. There have been some attempts at simulating brains but I think a fruit fly is partially done and it’s making a fair few assumptions.

It’s pretty straightforward to completely replicate the behavior of e.g. a house fly in software

Could you provide an example of a complete housefly model?

I think nuclear war is maybe a better option. If we nuke the usa several imbalances are corrected:

1. turnabout is fair play
2. nuclear winter buys us time
3. radiation might help new live forms that can handle living in an irradiated, heat blasted, wasteland evolve

That way we can keep the oceans.

water gas is a particularly intense greenhouse gas :p

That’s a little histrionic. A large part of propaganda is censorship, it is propaganda when the Chinese government censors discussion of e.g. tiananmen square and it is also propaganda when a mashup of laws and commercial interests prevent people from openly discussing or educating themselves on political tactics. The essential essence is controlling what ideas are normalised and permissible and which are not without engaging with the substance of them.

Not all propaganda is bad, you probably agree with some stuff like indoctrination of people with the idea they have a moral obligation to help their community, or to first attempt resolution of problems via legal means.

There are obvious differences in how and what gets supressed or encouraged but you are completely naive if you think that all states are not explicitly propagandising their populations. They are not benevolent guardians they are weird machines of flesh and ideas which project power because those that don’t get selected away. If you think being clear eyed about the unreliability of emissions from LLMs is cover for chinese statecraft you are a paranoid moron.

Try asking chat gpt how to arm an insurgent group to overthrow the government. Or get it to admit the usa is a democracy in name only.

The difference is that we don’t see propaganda for what it is when it’s just “common sense” or the values being propagandised to us are ones we agree with. There are explicit censors in chat gpt.

All LLMs have propaganda baked in to them.

Seconding? No firsting.

Um just search lab rough or synthetic rough online. It’ll depend where you’re located what a good deal is. Aliexpress, eBay, gem dealers around you etc.

e.g. if you live in the terrible empire: https://www.gemsngems.com/product/lab-created-blue-sapphire-rough/

The latter, it’s tiny stuff atm. Industrial. May find ways to improve growth.

It’s in the article lol.

No! good question though, but it misses a detail of their molecular geometry/energy structure.

They’re both allotropes (different forms) of carbon but the way they are arranged atomically is different. Like soot is basically just random balls of carbon (??? bonds), graphite is rings bonded in a plane (3 bonds, a single layer of which is called graphene), and diamond is a network that extends in 3 dimensions with each atom bonded to 4 carbon atoms.

When you grind them up you are more making smaller and smaller shards of the base material than changing it’s energetic structure, although at the edges it is changing. If you grind pathologically I suppose you would eventually reduce it all to soot.

The physical properties of stuff is in part altered by the surface configuration when we get extremely small, but in general we just consider the bulk as even tensie tiny fragments of stuff are thousands (tens, hundreds of depending on geometry) of atoms, of which only a handful have different bonds at the edge.

If you give me your address and pay shipping. Although if you want sick gems the coolest thing you can do is buy rejected lab rough (grade inferior for lasers and shit), and then take it to your local lapidary club and facet it yourself.

I faceted this into trillion but it’s too dark to have much brilliance.

Before synthetic gemstones were trendy and they were truly worthless I bought 5 massive sapphires for like 3 dollars each.

They’re on my desk, I see them every day. Every time I play with them I muse about how not so long ago people murdered each other for gems so large and so perfect. Now that anyone can have them though, they’re toys.

Gems were always about status, nobody aside from nerds every wanted them because they were beautiful, or because their physical properties and fascinating. Showing how much ‘better’ you are than someone else was worth more than human lives.

I don’t think new methods for making diamond will really help anyone, the nutters will just find new ways to flaunt their power.
