Oddbean new post about login | logout This 3D Printed Food thing is just tech bro self flagellation, same with AI and Web3, they all use the same circle jerk language of "accessibility to the poor and underprivileged". You know what's really accessible to some poor African or Hispanic living in bumbfuck nowhere? A normal carrot that is planted in the ground, not a collection of preprocessed proteins shaped into the rough shape of a carrot by some 100k food printer with 3 dozen moving, proprietary parts that can only be used with electricity and a stable Internet connection. https://i.poastcdn.org/be8312a57bea7590f2308859ac7fb13ac0a8fae429aeb951923b9034c6d416ac.jpg
At least AI is useful, at least Crypto can actually process transactions (provided you can pay the exorbitant processing fees and are willing to wait a few hours) but what use do these food printers have? Whose going to have one of these things in their home to print tasteless imitations of food they can buy at the supermarket? We already have tasteless imitations of food, it's called tofu products.
I genuinely don't even know what to say about this, it's either painfully retarded or a perfect grift, from the randos in their garage to the journalists reporting on it. On one hand it is a chain of utterly useless people, and on the other hand it ensures that nothing they do will help feed Africans.
If someone tried to feed me what’s in the picture I’d take it as a threat and kill them
@Shadowman311 you'd also STILL have to ship the consumables to africa, this is the existing problem but like 10 times worse lmao
