    Well, ChatGPT told me my ideas about Dyson spheres was neat and that I'm a special boy getting so close to the edge of known physics.

    The fact that you found a clip of Dyson himself stating that he wasn&apos;t serious is excellent work.

    I attended a guest lecture by Prof. Dyson in which he talked about spheres and his astrochicken idea. He came across as a serious scientist who used these far-out concepts as a prompt to ask real questions about what kind of future we want to invent. He was aware of the joke. We were aware of the joke. It was still a valuable experience.

    Dyson just wants to build a shell for our civilization in the pursuit of the ultimate goal: becoming a crab.

    Love how every techbro solution to every problem involves an implicit step 0 of &quot;stop doing anything practical to solve the problem right this second, because the yet-to-be-invented step 1 is just around the corner&quot;, it&apos;s almost like they don&apos;t want you to solve the problem and to buy their snake oil instead.
