ah yes so he's up to making
aircraft carrierfloating libertarian treehouserube goldberg mad max platform out of pykreteOne idea for the bottom of the iceberg is to erect a grid of airtight barriers on the bottom of the berg, with cells a few dozen meters wide and a few meters tall and blow air bubbles into them
this makes this grid having to support several tons of buoyancy force, it will have to be airtight but also its connection to ice will have to be so, and ice will probably deform over time. did all of these motherfuckers dropped out of middle school?
look, i think it's up to all of us to have the imagination and foresight to support roko in this fabulous and important endeavour. we could lure patri friedman onto the same ice floe, for example, by the simple expedient of putting up a yellow and black flag with "no steppy on snek"
It would give the orcas an opportunity to do the funniest possible thing
nah, he'll never get there
all he can possibly do is to beg for money from givewell or whatever it's called, then release a shitcoin to fund it, run a few prediction markets and hopefully at some point money cops will catch him
it will have to be airtight but also its connection to ice will have to be so
just flex tape it bro why you so negative

(Course 8 is the catalog number for the physics department at MIT.)
Besides, it's been then tried already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Habakkuk
