@AzeAlter Optimistic sci-fi is sorely lacking in today’s zeitgeist. If feel as though the genre peaked with Star Trek and now everything is either dystopia or some techno-primitivist setting like Dune and Warhammer.

Seeing Artemis II makes me want to create Age of Beyond II.
As much as I love doing dystopian work, there's something so exciting about space & future optimism.

If we united. Our potential as a species is limitless. This, is the Age of Beyond.

We’re often beguiled by the idea that the mind is a computer, and that consciousness is just a matter of running the right code. | iai.tv/articles/studi…
But Peter Godfrey-Smith uses recent research into animal minds to argue that only living brains can truly be conscious.

@xriskology It's not about living in the objectively most habitable area, it's about doing the impossible and occupying the ends of the universe.

The Earth was more habitable after a 12km asteroid slammed into it 66 million years ago than Mars is right now. The top of Mount Everest is more habitable than the Red Planet. Sure, go make your home there. We don't want you on this exquisitely marvelous oasis in space.

"Less than a week before Sam Altman was ousted as CEO of OpenAI by a board of directors sympathetic to AI safety concerns, Peter Thiel warned Sam over a meal: 'You don’t understand how Eliezer has programmed half the people in your company to believe this stuff.'"

@DaveShapi People don’t realize how incredibly small-c “conservative” Western society is.

Ah the left is now virtue signaling being old fashioned.
I've been saying for a while that the left is more conservative than the conservative party.

AOC: As far as AI, I, I do not regularly integrate it into my daily life, but I know many people do. For me, a lot of my job is writing-based, and I like to do my own. I’m old fashioned.

This is the end result of over a century of anthropomorphizing AI.

Sanders: I'll tell you it was a little bit mind-blowing. It is amazingly easy to start seeing this entity, this AI agent, or call it what you might, as a human being. And please remember importantly, AI is only going to get more and more effective in years to come . It's only a relatively few years old.

@NASAAdmin @NASAMoonBase Probably the best objective we could put resources into outside of human health.

To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure.
- Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones
- Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon.
- Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility
- Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence
The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.

This is only the beginning of these sorts of protests. In five years, I expect them to explode in numbers, for good or ill.

I’m really excited about the Main Ask for this march: every CEO must publicly commit to pausing frontier AI development if every other lab does the same.
