"Recent advancements have been so significant that this year’s opinions are the most optimistic for the “within 10 years” timeframe that we have ever recorded in our series of surveys: half of the respondents felt the likelihood of such a computer within 10 years was “about 50%” or more likely. By coarse-graining all the experts’ responses, one arrives at an average likelihood of between 28% and 49% within 10 years, that is, by roughly 2035" - Global Risk Institute's 2025 Quantum Threat Timeline (survey of quantum experts) globalriskinstitute.org/publication/qu…

Matt: At no point have I ever suggested, nor thought, that hiring decisions should consider anything but the above (intelligence, commitment, and history of contributions). Also Matt: "it’s worthwhile for companies and groups funding bitcoin core contributors (and indeed, any company hiring) to reach out to people that might otherwise not apply for a job or program and encourage them to." Also Matt: "It's long since time the bitcoin community spent a ton more effort on recruiting and ensuring underrepresented groups (incl women and especially folks with a different background) feel welcome in the community." Also Matt: "*the* most important aspect is setting the right culture of how things look going forward" Also Matt: "Explicitly encourage underrepresented groups to apply." The woke doublespeak is disturbing. Reality is, that if companies and gropups funding bitcoin core contributors focus on gender, "folks with different background", "underrepresented groups" when "reaching out to people", that is the very definition of considering other things than intelligence, commitment and history of contributions.

Matt Corallo 🟠@TheBlueMatt

Valuable certainly, but “extremely valuable” to the point that he deserved jobs that others got? No. I know you (and he) have claimed that DEI is the reason other people might have gotten more funding/jobs/etc over him from several different organizations that claim is very wrong. From what I can tell there has never been a single hiring/funding decision in the history of the many companies funding Bitcoin Core contributors that considered anything except intelligence, commitment, and history of contributions. The other day you tried to claim that I suggested anything but that but that claim was also wrong. At no point have I ever suggested, nor thought, that hiring decisions should consider anything but the above. I have stated, and do think, that it’s worthwhile for companies and groups funding bitcoin core contributors (and indeed, any company hiring) to reach out to people that might otherwise not apply for a job or program and encourage them to. Lots of research shows that when you do that you end up increasing the intelligence/skill of the people you end up hiring, not decreasing it - more applicants means more people to choose from.

@vividvoid ”Superintelligence” was already achieved once on planet Earth from the perspective of the then-existing species on the planet. Were the wielders (Homo Sapiens) of that intelligence more on the benevolent side or indifferent side of global suffering? It’s a mixed bag, is it not?

Who else is an AGI bloomer like me? Who thinks that intelligence actually looks amazingly like wisdom at the highest levels, and that a superintelligence would be something akin to a goddess of compassion, not a paperclipper? Send me recs, send me links, send me reading

put me in the “i’ll believe it when i see it (or don’t see it again)” camp but if Netanyahu is on life-support/dead and the Ayatollah’s son is on life-support/dead then that perhaps opens a unique window where this conflict could get resolved more quickly than expected

Programming architects at the center of this magic have been very open about it. It’s been said over the years that the ”AI issue” is more religious than scientific. Some have even compared themselves directly to sorcerers. One of the original architects of machine intelligence at MIT, Gerry Sussman, said point blank:  “We computer scientists are really just the cabalists of today. We animate the inanimate by getting strings of symbols just right.”

dude computers are actually so fucking insane when you really think about it. we literally figured out how to write some fake-ass rules called code and somehow convinced rocks to follow them. like actual rocks. sand, melted, purified, carved into tiny pathways where electricity just flows in patterns. that’s it. that’s the whole magic. and yet from that we get operating systems, compilers, kernels, networks, distributed systems, machine learning models, entire virtual worlds running inside other virtual worlds. billions of tiny electrical decisions per second, all because we defined some abstract logic. humans basically invented a language of instructions and taught matter itself to execute it.
