People also said A.I. wouldn’t happen. I don’t trust them to not find some way to implement it in the worst possible way that impacts all of humanity. Like permanent daylight or something so there’s never time to sleep but now there’s 12 more hours in the day

“Sunlight on demand” is an exaggeration. The plan is to create a 5km spot of 0.1 lux, which is a bit brighter than a full moon.
Every time I’ve seen this news posted (and I’ve seen it a lot over the past few days) everyone has leapt to some very extreme conclusions.
Not really extreme. The whole concept is bonkers. What right has a company to destroy the night huge numbers of people and not mention wildlife.
Don’t worry it’s not going to happen. They’re just after investor money then they’ll vanish.
Even if they actually build this, a very small area of the planet is going to be imperceptibly brighter for 35 seconds.
