You should listen to this guy. He used to generate electricity and make running hot and cold water, generate energy by pulling two large chunks of carefully designed, engineered and manufactured metal apart at extremely precise rates and amounts, maintain security of a nuclear submarine base, make warships invisible to radar, make sure that nuclear weapons would work when needed but only when needed, design lasers for weapons, test satellites before they were launched, fix robots that destroyed roadside bombs, and hold political office.
He's also figured out that Seasteading won't work, so you'll want to go ahead and put the brakes on all of this stuff.

My viewpoints regarding seasteading are on this forum.
This project is "in my backyard" so to speak. I am curious how they will address the myriad of problems that I see before them. Hopefully, by identifying those problems now, they will have a better chance of fixing them cheaply.
You might notice that I have not (yet) said it won't work. It is an interesting idea. Depending on how well it is thought out, I might become more involved with it in the future.
If only to dock my sailboat and have a meal. Their location is nice for spending time prior to an approach into the Golden Gate.
