Its a space of 1meter×1meterx1meter, basically a cubic meter where the matter replicator works on. (So, no replicating cars, since its too big)
How do you min-max this?
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
The AI summons an extremely attractive and buff version of Charles Grey. He is holding a cup of tea and wearing absolutely nothing.
Damn these AIs are getting good at understanding exactly what I want.
Damn,
daddyCharlie looks like he could be packing.
The obvious answer: Use your replicator to replicate more replicators.
The correct answer: The Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer.
The clever dick corollary: 1m3 is actually quite a large volume, and ain’t no rule says you can only replicate one object at a time. If whatever luxury item or commodity you want is small in volume, which it probably is, don’t forget you can replicate a whole bunch of it within a meter cube.
One cubic meter fits a literal ton of whatever you want.
A metric ton, anyway, and provided whatever you want is water.
Nah, it can also do a ton of anything denser than water, or anything that can be compressed to be denser than water.
Not booze :(
Enough pure ethanol to make two and a half tons of vodka.
One cubic meter of neutronium, please.
Day 1: create 264 gallons of water (probably enough for a month)
Day 2: create a cubic meter of food (also probably enough for a month)
Day 3 to next rationing: spend thinking of all the awesome things I could create but end up getting overwhelmed and doing nothing instead

Additional day 3: be overjoyed that you can just replicate your basic needs, so you now can work less (or not at all). All that free time! Think of all the projects xou could do!
Start by replicating junk food and beer and sloth around until the evening of Day 29, panic, make plans for some way to big Project for Day 30. Day 30 replicate stuff you need for the project. Before properly starting, realize you forgot to
buyreplicate some crucial stuff buthome depot is now closedyou’ve already used the replicas quota, be discouraged, overwhelmed, give up, promise “next month is going to be different!”.Day 2: create a cubic meter of food (also probably enough for a month)
Now I’m just imagining a cubic meter of spam.
Day 1, I replicate a replicator kit and put it together. I also contact a realtor and let them know I’m interested in buying some land. Off grid, far from cities, doesn’t matter.
Day 2, I replicate two replicator kits and put them together.
Day 3, I replicate four replicator kits. I’ve now got eight of them. I’m not sure I’ll need sixteen, at least not right away, and my basement is starting to get a bit crowded. So I’ll leave it at that for the moment, but the moment I think I need more replicator capacity I can have it.
Thanks for the input von Neumann.
Plot twist: every replicated replicator degrades slightly in subtle ways, like making glass less smooth, or making food taste a little bit stale. After the fourth cycle, bananas taste a bit like warm mayo.
Replicate the replicator. Next day, use both to replicate replicators. Repeat ad nauseam.
Have the replicator print a replicator that auto-prints identical copies of itself as often as it can so you can cause the collapse of reality without having to be involved.
Hell, have the replicator print a replicator without the 24-hour cooldown to hurry things along a little
I’d use it to make more replicators. Essentially have exponential replicators
I was busy thinking about that. Why not make a replicator without limits if possible? No downsides because then you’d be able to create what you want when you want. Anyone dumb enough not to think of that would be stuck using it once a day while you are able to create all you want.
Wouldn’t you need two replicators? One to be replicated and one to do the replicating? And if the replicator itself is a box (assumption since it was not specifies) the replicator would have to be larger than the max size.
Because then you can use those replicators to replicate anything you want
Solid cube of antimatter. Fuck you world!
Understandable. Have a great day.
That would definitely end you and a majority of the New York metropolitan area… but it wouldn’t end the world.
My first thought was to start work on a de-replicator. Lot of people about to have a lot of junk in their house and it’ll pile up quickly.
Not sure how long it’ll take until the earth becomes a black hole.
I might also try and put a few new squares on the periodic table.
I’d probably replicate a 1x1x1m cube of tungsten, then realize I have no way of removing it from the replicator.
The moment you try to min max the economy will fall apart. Replicate new PC parts? Cool, but now intel/AMD/Nvidia will go bankrupt, no more development. So I guess you could min-max the economical revolution. Capitalism doesn’t appear to make sense in a world with near endless access to anything.
Personally I’d get heaps of food and water
I hate that by now, I have found a way for capitalist to bill you anyways.
Nah, economy would suffer and adapt, but not technology or science. Engineers still would get together and work on new designs, but not for money.
Seriously, we don’t give a shit, if we have enough to eat and buy some fun toys we’re thrilled to keep up our mad experiments.
Have fun living in a 1m3 house.
Wait… So getting ample food and water to common people is a downside to capitalism?
Yea you are right, if people are fed and satisfied. They wont be needing any unnecessary stuff that feeds the capitalist.
I suspect a lot of guns, explosives, body armor and anti-armor munitions due to the immediate civil war that would break out in most countries as the wealthy elite tells the government to confiscate everyones matter replicators.
Your view is very dystopian. And also correct.
First I’m gonna move out of my apartment since there will sure be plenty of geniuses who’s gonna produce 1 cubic meter of solid gold, and the building might not be happy about 20-ton blocks appearing out of thin air.
What’s the power source?

… Can the replicator produce a cubic meter of this?
“Ugh. Why is this machine always sticky?!”
deleted by creator
In that case none of them work
deleted by creator
Can… Can I replicate myself?
If you’re short, yea.
Dwarf army!
I’m average. I know I can fit inside a cubic metre
deleted by creator
I’m an average woman, at 168 cm height I can easily fit in a cubic metre if I crouch or lay in fetal position.
I often feel like I could accomplish so much more if I had a clone. Just one, more than one clone would become an expense
Anyway if that’s not an option then I’d replicate a variety of:
dollar bills.
Jewellery, gold and precious gems.
Computers, and phones, especially if I can sell some of its parts such as the graphics card
Other luxury items such as parfum, spirits, etc
Eggs
I don’t know, I feel most of these things would lose their value pretty quickly if everyone had a replicator. Kind of like what AI is doing to the creative arts. Only this time it would be the rich getting affected, not struggling artists
- Alien: Why do you want to replicate things for money?
- Mothra: So I can buy the things I want!
- Alien: Can’t you replicate the things you want instead?
- Mothra: This thing can replicate admiration?!
This thing can’t replicate a house. I know, I know I fit inside a cubic metre but having a house that size is a bit restrictive. I was hoping for something more spacious.
Cruxifux gang bang!
