Only by reading the plan, he reminds me of an early Elon Musk. It has the first Paypal then Space X vibe. I wonder how many other people have similar dreams, but can't deliver cause their parents aren't rich.

#12Who knew an infinitely recursive self learning true AI was just a few python files away that haven't been updated in 5 months?

#13I can spare $6 for this project. What do my children get in return?
Re: Help needed to build the colony on Moon, Mars and the Dyson Sphere
#14Instructions unclear. I’ve converted the entire Solar System to paper clips instead.
But did you release the hypno drones?

#15Sadly, from a lot of experience in tech, one man projects that have "build self-aware AI" as a step in their roadmap have a tendency to underdeliver.

#16Nice intro video on what may be realistically required to build a Dyson sphere:

By Kurzgesagt, all their videos are excellent and informed by the literature.

Just because "reusable rockets" got laughed at by the existing space industry doesn't mean every laughable idea is secretly feasible.
"My new database will make building a Dyson sphere easy" is a slightly... loftier claim than "we can probably land rockets and reuse them".

#18I want to send something to a carbonaceous chondrite asteroid that can extract the volatiles and turn the coal-like substances and stony substances into large plastic (Kapton!) and metal films. These could be used for solar collectors, solar sails, sunshades.
It pays for itself by manufacturing space sunshades to the Earth-Sun L1 point that get their own their own power.
The "something" is probably a factory that builds a factory that builds the factory, at least twice you face a situation like building a ship in a bottle except you are in the bottle. It probably imports microcontrollers by the ton from the Earth. It's an interesting question: do you send people who can interact with the system but need a place to live or do you run it all by remote control and face 60 minute or more round trip delay requiring that the thing make mistakes and recover autonomously.

#19Imagine Asgardia building a Dyson swarm, owning it, and then becoming a greedy landlord (swarmlord?). When you can’t afford the rent, the yeet you into space with a trebuchet.

#20Appears to be a scammer scamming a scam.
