@hyperboreality I want to believe.

Longevity escape velocity - when?
These guys think it can happen within 10 years.
"A 100-year-old individual possesses the proteomic profile, regenerative capacity, and physical phenotype of a prime 30-year-old."

@strikerglows @RokoMijic The same one, he just doesn't think it is possible
English
@RokoMijic Then I simply don't know what meaning of singularity you are referring to
English
Western futurism about AI is heavily biased by Christian (and Jewish) religious eschatology.
"The Singularity" is very much a thematic copy of "The Rapture".
If you want to think accurately about the future you must purge that from your mind.
There is probably no Singularity, rather there will be a transition from a human-centric world to a machine-centric world, with computers and robots doing a lot of the things that humans and plants and animals and human orgs used to do.
The one thing that I think is safe to predict is that it will be a much faster growing (and therefore much bigger) world.
But I seriously doubt that it will be "singular" in a mathematical sense.

I sometimes think about the early Christians c. 70 AD who refused to build houses because they didn't think they would finish them before Christ returned, so they just lived in tents. This was short-sighted, but only because it was thousands of years before we would get Opus 4.6.

@peraperic486209 @GrandpaRoy2 @nikola_mikovic @vanusha_rm My first thought as well. We live in an AI age now. Trust nothing.

@GrandpaRoy2 Could this be Ukranian AI-generated campaign?

A Russian woman exposes the “rot” in small-town Russia, where mothers send their sons to sign contracts for the sake of the payments, and wives threaten to divorce their husbands if they refuse to do the same.
Roy🇨🇦@GrandpaRoy2
Initial payments for Russians signing army contracts continue to surge. A one-time payment of 3,400,000 rubles and debt cancellation of up to 10,000,000 rubles in the Tyumen region is the largest so far in Russia.

@Mangan150 @EA_Rice I have only ever gained weight when in Italy. I dread to think what their normal diet looks like

@RicardoCity1 Not knocking it at all from that angle. If it helps, it helps.
Heroic doses best avoided though, eventually everyone has a bad one.

@hyperboreality Emotions can do a lot to the mental state of an individual. I had to seek help through microdosing psilocybin to enable me take care of my anxiety and depression. Heard it also helps take care of ADHD and chronic pains,trauma. @ SporeAndSoul on x is the mycologist that guided

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer.
The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions.
But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all.
My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body.
It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize.
A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache.
A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy.
What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

@camsoft2000 You need experience at architectural level, give it a swathe of constraints, patterns and knowledge files, and review output regularly.
LLMs cannot (yet?) operate at architect level across large, complex domains.

I’m getting to the point with one of the projects I work on where the complexity of AI slop is becoming a real issue.
While I can still happily prompt the agent to add x feature and it will do so and it will likely work perfectly, the code is just getting too complex and fragmented.
Agents love to copy and paste and keeping patterns DRY is a real challenge. The agent will start diverging all those copy and pastes until you’ve got loads of similar but slightly different blocks of logic.
Again it all still works and solves the problem I’m after. But I just can’t get any kind of consistency anymore, the code is a mess and I just don’t have a handle on it. I want a clean unified architecture but agents just code with tunnel vision.
The project is now too big and complex for an agent to fully reason with and too big and complex for me to reason with. The only real solution is a complete rewrite. Maybe this is the way things will go. Code will just become disposable.
I don’t really want to care about the code and to be honest I don’t but I do care about consistency and maintainability and the AI slop is hurting those very things I do care about.
I know some will say “I’m holding it wrong”, use x,y,z skill, tool whatever and already use tools and anti slop skills, plans, docs, etc but the outcome is the same.
Vibe coding something into existence is truly magical. But turning it into a mature product with months of iterations is painful. I can’t even hand code this thing because I don’t understand the code anymore and I’m too lazy to try and code myself because I’m addicted to AI.
So what’s the solution, either start again and accept that’s just the way we have to roll, or just carry on fighting the slop and accept each new feature will take longer to implement than the last.
I’m tired. I’m addicted.

@BountyKy @arcticinstincts "Knowing the nature of existence and experiencing peace and joy" does not equal "knowing every physical fact about the material world"
I'm not really sure why you would think it does, it's an odd assumption
English
@hyperboreality @arcticinstincts not find it a bit odd that you manage to produce less than a normie despite having profound knowledge of the innermost secrets of reality?

Has anyone ever come out of these “profound” psychedelic trips with a verifiable scientific insight or breakthrough in physics or psychology or something? Can you fix Africa now?

@BountyKy @arcticinstincts He didn't have a calculator manual revealed to him, no
Sorry to disappoint you if that's what you think the meaning of existence is
English
@hyperboreality @arcticinstincts you had the nature of existence revealed to you and couldn't build a calculator?
English
@BountyKy @arcticinstincts Experiences metaphysical revelations which reveal the nature of existence to be infinite consciousness, and the material world to be illusory
Expects to build a better calculator as a result

@hyperboreality @arcticinstincts claim mysteries of the universe were revealed to you. you manage to produce nothing from them

Yes, but to be fair, the odds are against it. A vanishingly small number will ever reach that level. Drugs give you a shortcut, albeit a short-lived, chaotic, potentially dangerous one.
That said, it's not "full enlightenment or nothing". It is revealed in stages, and each one brings increasing calm and joy to daily life, permanently.

@bryan_johnson Bryan, imagine you didn’t need 5-MeO-DMT for this. Read the best texts on Advaita (Non-Dual) Vedanta or if Christianity is what you prefer Thomists are closed to (Being, Consciousness, Bliss) You can achieve this by meditation.

The smoking Italian man will live to ~72-75, which is 8-10 years lower than Italian male life expectancy.
The likelihood of a smoking Italian living to 100 is <1%
83.8% of centenarians in Rome had never smoked. In Sardinia, 1% of elders aged 89-101 are active smokers

If you're going to have brutalism, it might as well be surrounded by organic elements to soften it. The contrast makes it interesting.

@UKStandards_ @RestoreBritain_ Nothing wrong with the Restore option chosen. Certainly nonce flags are repulsive but the Restore councillors were correct to ask the workers. Of course normal people will vote against them: trust them.
Councillors "banning" stuff that is legal? They should be doing their jobs
English
NEW 🚨 Two @RestoreBritain_ councillors walked out of a debate on illegal migration in Kent and refused to vote to declare a migration emergency.
They walked out alongside Labour, Lib Dem and Green councillors.
A 3rd one walked out and refused to vote to ban pride flags on government and council buildings…
They are not serious about fixing Britain.

@ZoomerHistorian I recall research showing that in France, by way of example, the most fertile white subpopulations are wealthy and highly religious

The most prolific White breeders of all time are the Amish, the Mormons and the Puritans (also see Haredi and Orthodox Jews in the West)
These all have something in common and it’s the direct opposite of what BAP is suggesting
If you want higher birth rates you need less degeneracy, not more, as is being suggested here.

I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.

@MorgothsReview Except it makes us more vulnerable, not less. Intermittent renewables still needing backups.
Solution to energy vulnerability = fully exploit territorial oil and nat gas, and build out nuclear.
