@devadamsjustin @EricRWeinstein You should look up what dead weight loss is, because that is what I am saying will slow the growth where companies stay.

@HartLabs @EricRWeinstein "Only those who benefit from the Coasian system would stay" at that point you'll see openAI move to fuckin Madagascar due to the sheer cost of intelligence. And the reason why this slowing of growth may not happen In hegemon countries is because companies will not choose to leave

I wonder whether this is direct enough to make the point about Coasian rights. AI is a vampire. A wraith. A soul snatcher. It's human. It IS us. A tiny number of men are training machines on us, to be us, and to replace us with less mess and cost. Without Coase, you're lost.

Only those who benefit from the Coasian system would stay. The point of mentioning dead weight loss is that it means no utopia, as everything is more expensive, velocity of money slows down, growth slows, these effects compound, and everyone there becomes an ancient tribe which no one else is allowed to visit and lives in ancient ways despite lots of benefits elsewhere which they wont allow.

@HartLabs @EricRWeinstein Only those who are actually needed in a coasian system would stay. So for most countries it would lead to stagnation due to high cost of doing stuff, and for hegemon countries it'll form some sort of utopia. Coase Doesnt really work unless its specie wide, just like communism

You are a lumberjack in 1600 who primarily is cutting down firewood. Now the government is somehow enforcing that you earn a percentage of what, all money spent on heating no matter the source? What happens when your experience and job is not directly encompassed in some new technology? What is enforcing the percentage of it which you get, vs the guy who does Y or Z? Coasian economics is just UBI and socialization of industry after the early rounds of 'ownership'

Coase is you getting rich by training and liscencing your replacement. Universal Income is you taking scraps from the AI table. Which will lead to communism and the death of dignity. Everything we knew is over. History changed between November 1952 (H-bomb) and April 1953 (DNA). Well, it changed again between June 2017 and February 2026. The average person is being taught to hate the tiny number of experts he has on his side who could negotiate this deal. Look up Coase. Understand your right to liscence the right to create vampires from your/our data as a SCALING AMMOUNT OF THE WEALTH OF ITS OWNERS. I cannot believe that a tiny number of my friends and colleagues from my time in the bay area are just going to go for it. I'm super excited about AI. We all should be. Don't just sit there.

@EricRWeinstein This incentivizes dysgenic behavior, where money and power is controlled by whomever has the most bodies instead of whoever is the most effective.

Interesting. I see a different future. A Coasian future. Not built on UBI, but on high market income. Where we the humans license the human corpus to corporations and earn SKY HIGH income from licensing fees, while our wage income briefly goes up before permanently plummeting.

@sgyahn @EricRWeinstein "You get 1 vote and $60,000 for every child you have"

@sgyahn @EricRWeinstein If you distribute resources based on population, especially a majority of resources, there is an incentive to increase the population aligned with your interests regardless of any dysgenic societal cost or effects. Family unit, religious group, ethnic group, political group, etc

All roads lead to Coase to save us from UBI. Let’s have that discussion. With the people privatizing our data and corpus. I’d love to have a *public* debate about Basic Income v Coasian Rights & Liscencing. Like in St Barts. Or the Yellowstone Club. Or St Tropez. Or Mustique…

@BigShamTheBeard @EricRWeinstein I think I maybe formulated my response wrong. I assumed that the real issue, a dysgenic expansion incentive, was obvious. It might not have been. Maybe the questions would be more directly addressed if that was the headline rather than examples supporting it.

@HartLabs @EricRWeinstein Let's have a debate about UBI vs. Coase, but those aren't the details we are looking for...ffs.

@sgyahn @EricRWeinstein I think he would, but is just a busy famous person. Hopefully these concerns are a bit more on his radar now and he will get ahead of them either with a good answer, or with something beside Coase. A Douglas dividend has the same dysgenic expansion incentive in my view.

@HartLabs @EricRWeinstein I’ve also been trying to engage with Eric on this, but I don’t think he wants to discuss it frankly, his answer to you is indicative. Without a floor, like an updated Douglas dividend, Coase fails to get off the ground, but with it as a free market bulwark future looks bright.

Whatever comes next needs to address these concerns. If it incentivizes right assignment by population, that leads to a dysgenic flood of participants, human or AI. Central should be incentivizing values like truth, predictive power, goodwill, order, not expansion. Dilution and caps both have inevitable failure states that should be unacceptable.

And there are even more details than that. Pick one. You have a rolling supply of rights so people get diluted over time. Or you print a cap On rights at the beginning Bitcoin style. Or whatever. You treat it as a detail. Good points. But not central yet. People don’t know This framework even exists. You are jumping the gun here imo.

Rule 110 in lamp shade form. There are lots of other interesting cellular automata, objects, and styles I am playing with as well.

@BryanLivingston No, but really you make it with rubber bands holding it together and then glue in place. youtube.com/watch?v=LRG7-y…

@HartLabs If you pull one of the pencils out, does it fall apart?

I watched The Thinking Game last night which was really good. The prominently featured pencil sculpture was designed by my dad! youtube.com/watch?v=d95J8y… georgehart.com/sculpture/penc…

@BryanLivingston He was messing with OpenClawd, a token was launched, made $25k in transaction fees, most got stolen, and it turned into a huge mess about what OpenClawd did, vs what other people did.

@HartLabs I don't have time for 4 hours of rambling. What was his main points?

This was a legendary stream: youtube.com/watch?v=VBMUMu…

Project Genie is a great way to experiment and get a feel for world models and this exciting research frontier. I've been having fun exploring interactions that are usually quite hard to simulate with physics engines 😀

Triple inverted pendulum in transition control A classic control problem, done in real time. This setup moves smoothly between all eight equilibrium points of a triple inverted pendulum. The system reacts every 1 millisecond, which shows how fast modern control loops can be. • Real-time control at 1 ms sampling • Stable transitions between multiple balance points • Built with Simulink and LW-RCP02 hardware This is a beautiful example of how theory meets practice in advanced control engineering.

@Jonathan_Blow I interpret the original as meaning ~"Among programming languages, the better ones for an LLM to use are the ones which are compiled, as opposed to Python which I am fighting against internally, especially those with a higher degree of compile time checks, like Rust."

Well, OpenAI does not seem to have any plans for how to make LLMs better at programming. Anyone else? x.com/ThePrimeagen/s…
