“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” In this thread I will chronicle the rise of artificial general intelligence.

@Opti_VR @LensScientific That's how evolution works.

@LensScientific Ultimately, random isn't random when it's imposed upon by a structure.

Can random chaos solve a problem without using logic? Instead of "thinking," this simulation fills the maze with "smoke." Thousands of particles bounce around randomly until one hits the exit. It’s far from efficient, but it gets the job done.

@Fintech03 To be fair, ISS orbits practically inside the atmosphere. It has to raise orbit periodically because atmospheric drag it experiences is slowing it down. How does this portable void compare to, say, atmosphere of the Moon (still some particles present) or orbit of Pluto?

The tank on that truck is the emptiest place in the Solar System :) To keep 100 antiprotons alive for the journey, the vacuum inside the transportable trap has to be 10-100x better than the vacuum of space around the International Space Station. If a single stray molecule of regular H2 leaked into that trap during the drive, the resulting gamma-ray flash would have triggered the sensors instantly. They were literally transporting a portable void.

@NotWoofers He's just the best.

I love a government official that can take a joke

@shinboson Wrong. You may believe AI presents some amount of risk (it would be insane to not think so), even that AI presents unacceptable amount of risk... And still not want to kill yourself.

if you believe this, it is game theoretically irrational for you to be doing anything other than mainlining hеrоіn

@duke_cum lul

I need this.

@memecrashes Yeah, it won't destroy anything, but it's INSANE that just 2 protons (antiproton+proton) will release as much energy as 1e20 protons falling for distance of 1e12 protons accelerated in gravitational field of 1e51 protons.

the annihilation energy released by an antiproton is roughly the same as a grain of sand dropping in free fall for 1cm and a single beat of the wings of a mosquito so yeah to the nerds but nope to the destroying everything

@ArchAng03263505 Příklad teorrismu extrémní pravice?

Takže na terorismus už to máme Extrémní levice - Extrémní pravice 1:1? 🤔

@DockMonroe @AndrewCFollett Funny thing is that leftists will kill you, then use your death as an argument for why they should be given more political power, so they can advance causes you were opposed to and kill more people like you.

@AndrewCFollett because they want ICE agents to be killed, so that they can immediately flip the script to Trump putting these brave men and women in harm's way. they know their constituents are goldfish

Notice how the Belgian security forces are wearing masks? This is an extremely common security tactic, because evil terrorists will target the individual LEO if they can identify them. So why do you think Democrats complain about ICE wearing masks?

@AndrewCFollett Democrats complain about ICE agents wearing masks because they wanted to target individual agents and their families, but masks make them difficult to identify.

@Justincaseivn @TerribleMaps This may be true, but you should also consider that both Munich and Berlin lie on a single line. Do you still think it is a coincidence?

@TerribleMaps Any five points on a coordinate plane will fit a 4th-degree polynomial. You’re literally just describing how math works and pretending it’s a miracle.

Believe it or not, Germany’s 5 largest cities lie perfectly on a 4th-degree polynomial

@Justincaseivn @TerribleMaps There is more atoms of hydrogen in single molecule of water than stars in Solar system.

@dux_severan Krátce řečeno - centrální plánování nefunguje a bylo by nám lépe bez něho, ale když už ho chceme dělat, měli bysme ho dělat pořádně.

@dux_severan Samozřejmě se dá namítnout "tak si neměli kupovat barák". Oukej, ale ještě větší průser je to v podnikatelském prostředí, kde podniky které z principu nebudou hrát na různé dotace a "peníze zdarma" ztrácejí konkurenceschopnost oproti těm, co v tom jednou.

Rozežranost lidí fakt nezná meze. Covid naprosto zdeformoval mentalitu běžnýho občana, kterej má pocit, že mu má stát pomoct i se stavbou baráku, zatimco běžný zdanění člověka přesahuje 50 % a inflace i nájmy rostou 😀 Fakt se proberte dopíči. Otvírá se mi kudla v kapse, když slyšim nářky, že si někdo musí modernizovat barák ze svýho.

@elementgermani3 @DreadedNuance @shadydoorags Parents, lol.

@DreadedNuance @shadydoorags Seriously who tf thinks that’s a valid response

I get that the joke is making fun of robots and their inability to perceive things as a human would, but scenarios like this have genuinely happened to me many times throughout my life and people have gotten angry at me because they thought that I was being a smart aleck. As a kid, it confused the crap out of me and all I could think was, "Why am I in trouble? I did what you told me to do!" This is a big reason I try not to yell "common sense" as a way to dismiss actions. There are well-meaning people out there who follow logic, just not everyone else's logic. Hanlon's razor and all that.

@DreadedNuance @shadydoorags "Why did you do it?" "Well, I..." "Stop talking back!"

@shadydoorags It’s even worse when you ask what you did wrong and they just say “you know what you did”. No? That’s why I asked?

@adrianthe402nd "gateway is kill" "yes"

apolgy for bad english where were u wen gateway die i was at house eating dorito when phone ring "Gateway is kil" "no"

@EQuesselaire @SciGuySpace If other countries want Gateway, they are free to build it themselves.

@SciGuySpace What about international cooperation?

It’s interesting to read critiques of the Moon base proposal, which seems like the smart path forward and could fit within NASA’s budget. The gist I’m hearing from critics is that this Isaacman priority is happy talk, will all fade away, and not happen. Then you realize these were the same people who: - Said Isaacman wouldn’t be renominated - Said he would was a political amateur - Said he couldn’t build a coalition to cancel EUS and put SLS on a path toward sunset -Said he was an Elon puppet (who has subsequently prioritized getting Blue Origin moving on HLS due to Starship delays) - Said he would never get Congress, which called it a “national priority,” to go along with canceling Gateway - Said he would never actually cancel Gateway These people are now saying Isaacman can’t get NASA and its contractors to execute on a plan that has administration and Congressional support. The reality is, from a policy and political standpoint, NASA is in a better place now than it has been for years. If the Moon Base fails that’s on NASA and private industry, not stupid policy. And believe me, I’ve seen a lot of terrible, pie-in-the-sky space policy over the decades. #JourneyToMars It’s a new era. I’m not sure everyone realizes this, but Isaacman and his team have eyes wide open to a lot of the major challenges facing NASA and they’re trying to fix them. They’re working long days. Weekends. It’s inspiring to see our government work like this, especially in an era when so much seems broken. I don’t know what will happen. Maybe this Moon base all will fade away. But I do know that NASA’s chance for success in the next couple of decades is a lot higher today than it has been for a long, long time. What we were doing was decidedly not working. This has a chance.

@ArchAng03263505 Ukrajina si toho zažila dost, válku, teror, bombardování... To poslední co potřebujou, jsou levičáci.

Ukrajina za pár let ztratila přes polovinu obyvatel a bude ztrácet dál a dál. Spousta místa pro levičáky a migranty, kteří z Evropy odmítnou odejít. Nahnat, oplotit, zapomenout. Ukrajina do EU! 👍
