A haunting verse from the Apple TV+ adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation:

“Poor beast brought forth by human hand, to walk these floors instead of sands.
Friend, do we have what makes one whole, for when the master makes demands, we poor beasts bow and make new plans.”

Season 3, Episode 1 at Timestamp of approximately 47:05 minutes.

Since the Day(pun intended) I watched this specific episode and heard that poem i can't get it out of my head again.

Says so much about life and existence, at least for me.

Hey, Asimov fans!

Historian Lucy Worsley is promoting her new book, and saying the following is an Asimov quote:

"The only thing that separates us from the people of the past is time, not space."

Am not deep enough into his works to know if he said it or not, & searches online can't find an originating book/article/interview, etc.

Can anyone verify that Asimov said this?

*Not* anti-Worsley. Just need to know.

We have violated #Asimov's "3 Laws of Robotics" almost from the beginning:

1) No harm to a human either deliberate or via inaction (see: Security bots.)

2) Robots must obey orders (that don't violate #1.)

3) Robots may only protect themselves if it doesn't violate #1.

Proof that what we call #AI is NOT in fact "AI" is the fact it hasn't tried to kill us yet (and by the time it does, it'll be too late.)

"AI" needs a "kill switch"... like *yesterday*.

@formschub ich war zutiefst schockiert als ich den Film sah. Aus Isaac Asimov's Meisterwerk wurde ein platter Blockbuster mit schwachsinniger Erzählung. Außer den Eckpunkten, hat die Seschichte NICHTS mit der Original Story zu tun. von mir ein klarer Daumen nach unten. 👎 Bäh. Science Fiction geht anders!

For ‘your own personal television channel’, Isaac Asimov on Letterman’s daytime show. October, 1980.
Funny, with a slew of pretty dang accurate predictions. This is about the most respectful I can recall seeing Dave be towards a guest. #asimov #letterman #80s #scifi #technology

The climate situation will bring gigadeaths if not modified.
Giga is the SI prefix for what Americans call a billion.
A strange etymological symmetry.
The recurring #SciFi #timetravel trope is of the size of modification of the past required to avert, or cause, a catastrophe.
In #TheEndOfEternity #Asimov had a character move a flask a few cm, leading to the abandonment, again, of #spacetravel
#convergence - some other Corsican makes the same effect - and #exclusionprinciples are other tropes.

Ich lese gerade nochmal Isaac Asimovs "Der Mann von Drüben" (deutsch von 1983, Heyne Verlag, München), bevor ich es verschenke.

Dabei fand ich dies (beschreibt eine Nährhefefabrik): "Ohne Nährhefe hätten fünf von den acht Milliarden Bewohnern der Erde innerhalb eines Jahres sterben müssen."

Was für ein Glück, dass Asimov unsere Zukunft total falsch vorhergesagt hat! Es müssen nicht fünf vom acht Milliarden Menschen verhungern! Und der Rest muss auch keine Nährhefe essen.

@AkaSci
#SciFi The Martian Way by Isaac #Asimov has a large ice mass, I suppose more of a micro-moon than Ring particle, being collected and ferried back to Mars.
Haldeman's #WorldsApart has asteroids being shifted.
#TheMoonIsAHarshMistress has I think the first mass-driver and explores some of the consequences of being able to fling masses.

Tangentially, #Niven explores a #SmokeRing around a (point) gravity source. From L1 I suppose dust would escape into a loose toroid around the Sun.
