/sci/ - Science & Math

What innovations would it take to create a commercial food printer that can print any food, with any taste and healthy nutritional content, by taking in only a manageable amount of raw resources, and digital recipies?

Would it be possible for such a machine to create food we currently produce through animals, even if the input material is vegan? (E.g. could it print out a steak or eggs that are indistinguishable in taste, texture and nutrition from something like algae-based protein, supplements, spices etc.?)

/g/ is broken, can I hang out with you guys?

Or can you fix it with your science?

everyone not affiliated with kurzweil & friends has their heads up their asses. The free market (aka spontaneous order) is the greatest possible human economic system at the moment. anything else fosters corruption and loss of liberties. When self modifying AI arises in the next few decades, scarcity will be eliminated (no more economics lul) ... dyson spheres and a matrioshka brain are the future... within this century, all the mass in the solar system will begin reassembly into computronium. If you plan on staying biological past say, 2200, you'll probably want to head over to some isolated brown dwarf. god will need lots of matter
