I’m sorry, but what about this cube is “population sized”?
Well, if you liquefy the entire human race, it would fit into a container with roughly those proportions.
In fairness, you can probably keep enough whole humans to stack in there without touching and then just liquefy the rest. That should save some money and time.
It’s really incredible how I can no longer tell what’s satire and what’s very real opinions and ideas being shared seriously
Tech bros suggesting we live in a hive city is believable
Are we compressed into the gigantic meat cube mechanically or are we assimilated into it like the Borg assimilate species?
I think you just start pitching people in, and the compression happens naturally as the people pile up.
Good news though. Without using any math or science, my AI determined that the people at the bottom will be under enough heat and pressure to become oil, or diamonds or both. Just put a spigot at the bottom so we don’t lose that economic value in the bodies of the people we’ve systematically crushed to fund our lavish extravagant lifestyle.
Everyone gets a 1’x1’x6’ cell to luxuriate in. If my memory serves…
So if we double the cube we can have a 2’ x 2’ × 12’ space? That might be better than some NYC apartments already
Weve got room for whole other 2/3rds of a person in here
If it’s serving lasagna, I’m in. I haven’t had good lasagna in years.
The cube is the lasagna.
We got a beef and short rib lasagna from costco the other day that was straight up decent
You’re run through a grinder to join the mega-meatball.
Both.
Such a stupid take. You build a data center in Sydney when all the people are in NY? Think of the latency!
We need to build a giant spherical data center and humans will crawl on the outside like ants. No one will ever be more than the circumference away from another user, and all traffic can be routed through the fastest and shorted physical route.
Then the rest of the earth gives us 24/7 solar power. 10/10 super happy love love!
Peter Thiel would build a wall around it and declare himself the benevolent king of humanity as blood oozes out from the bottom. Then he would grab a straw and get busy quenching his thirst.
This was an episode of Star Trek.
Game incoming
Sounds like Megacity 1 from Judge Dredd. But imagine, instead of because of thermonuclear war, we’re cramming the world’s population into a megacity for AI.
It’s pretty bad when you reference Judge Dredd and Dredd is the better if the 2.
But if we just get rid of humans altogether, then the cube is also free for AI to build a huge data center to run agentic workflows.
cue the: ackshually…
Now we’re laughing but lets save it and wait 10 years to post it again as an optimistic scenario.
but, but why in New York?
To forget about it.
Hey! Im
walkingin a cube here!
Beats Old York.
To help real estate prices
No.
