>But it's true
No, it's not. Whoever told you this has zero clue how to run an interstellar economy. They probably haven't even conquered a planet. Being unable to build a dyson sphere/dyson swarm is like being unable to build cities for a galactic civilization.
>you can't
Yes you can. Read up on star lifting, that is how it's down. You use magnetic currents to force rivers of stellar material into these nuclear forges where they are processed into heavier elements, and gain energy from doing so. Or if you don't want to forge the elements, use mass spectrometry to extract heavier elements from the stellar material. A dyson sphere is not just one bigass solar panel. They are called stellar engines. They're a workshop, computer, movement system, and a living zone.
>Or just... not
You don't have an answer, because, frankly, there's no reason why an interstellar civilization wouldn't use their star as an economic and production powerhouse. You just think 'big laser' and can't even comprehend the sheer scale of one of these things. Actually, there's a real-world equivalent of this. The New York metropolitan area has a greater GDP than Russia. It's almost like urbanization scales to the stellar as well!
>sammy
I wouldn't, I'd have those drones build a nice mecha for her to dwell in. She can go have fun while I complete the Great Work to undo the damage.
>I teleport
In the microseconds before you materialize, the automated defense systems will have translocated you to a nice farm on a space station and have wiped your memories. The millions of servitors will make sure all your needs are attended to, and you have a real purpose in your life. Plus a throne? Eww, make a billion copies of myself and inhabit the network. I wouldn't need a fleshy body.
>Can it output faster
Simply compute in the astral, why not what prevents a machine from tapping into it? Or use superluminal computing for precognitive predictions. You said you can teleport, that's FTL there.
