What the China-based 'professor' who isn't needs to ask: WHO CONTROLS ISRAEL? And then who controls that which controls Israel? This is the way you get to the real origin of human control.
Rick Sanchez@RickSanchezTV
“After this war, antisemitism will rage globally — Americans will rightly believe that Israel was responsible for the downfall of the American empire.” — Jiang Xueqin But here’s the deeper layer: he argues that for hardline Jews in power, antisemitism will serve as a blessing, a destiny they've been waiting for that will benefit Israel in the long term. So Israel wins either way, while America loses no matter the outcome. Full breakdown on The Sanchez Effect.

@libsoftiktok Lactating men is an Icelandic thing...you wouldnt understand
English
INSANE. A man in Iceland is facing an investigation by police and potential jail time for posting online that men cannot breastfeed children.
Imagine getting thrown in jail for speaking the TRUTH.
WTF is going on in Iceland???

Pete Hegseth, at today's Christian Prayer & Worship Service at the Pentagon, prays for Almighty God to "pour out your wrath" and "break the teeth of the ungodly." He begs the Almighty to sanction "overwhelming violence" against "those who deserve no mercy"

@DannyWxo @JamesPMNFan @jk_rowling You think shes hurting now? Just wait until she thinks she can compete in sports against men simply by pretending to be one and she gets her ass kicked....every time!
English
@JamesPMNFan @jk_rowling I’m really sorry that Oliver is hurting right now, seeing your child feel like their dreams are slipping away is incredibly painful. No child should feel excluded or discouraged from imagining a future where they can shine.
English
Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.
English
@JamesPMNFan @jk_rowling So, your "son" is a biological girl that wants to compete against biological men when she gets older? She is going to get her ass kicked!!
English
@jk_rowling Today's ruling is a disgusting display of transphobia that has been fueled by bigoted LOSERS like you
My 6 yr old trans son Oliver had dreams of becoming a Olympic champion one day after watching them last month. He is in tears crying that his dream is lost. I hope you are happy

@jk_rowling I am very grateful for your truth-telling. Lets make Truth popular again

Sam Harris says his “friend” Joe Rogan has had a “f*cking awful” influence on society.
“It’s unignorable at this point.”
Harris says he’s reached out to Rogan privately about his “truly terrible” effect on culture, but Joe hasn’t responded.
“I’ve tried to reach out to him privately, and he hasn’t responded. But I felt the need to say things about him publicly that I’m very uncomfortable saying about a friend.”

@VraserX intellectual honesty would admit they dont know what causes consciousness
English
Nature is pushing back on the “AI is basically a mind” vibe
A new Nature piece argues that current models are being oversold as intelligent and presents Luc Julia’s view that they are closer to glorified calculators than minds. I think this is a useful corrective, because fluency keeps fooling people into smuggling consciousness into autocomplete.

@Terenceshen Why do people keep thinking they have democracy in the West? weird...
English
Chinese Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian said, “China is a democracy in our own way.” It’s funny that in many countries, democracy means people choose their government, while in China, democracy means the government redefines what “democracy” means.
English
@Jvnior The Israeli people are the chosen people....by the Israeli god....what a lucky coincidence :)

@ControlAI We never figured out how to "make" humans care either. This idea of controlled values is flawed.
English
If superintelligence could destroy us, why don't we just program AI to care about us?
AI researcher Prof. Roman Yampolskiy: We don't actually program AIs anymore. We just let them learn everything they can, and slap filters on after the fact. We don't know how to make them care.
English
@evan_mcgl Consciousness is pure subjectivity. Science is about pure objectivity. You most certainly did NOT "prove" anything about consciousness when its very existence cant be proven ANYWHERE in the first place!

"Physics is a map. Matter is a map. And now we're trying to draw ourselves out of our own map. It's like a painter painting itself and then saying — that's who I am."
"Firing neurons don't generate experience. Experience generates the pattern of firing neurons. We've got the arrow backwards."
"We don't create life when we bioengineer cells. We disturb the field of existence such that a life bubble pinches off."
"These AI leaders saying models might be conscious — it's dangerous. These are influential people and they should be careful what they say."

@More_Kat_Moore You need to start with defining consciousness before you can talk about whats absurd about it...
English
LLMs are recursive maps. That is they are maps of maps. (Language is a map.)
The idea that new territory or ground (consciousness) is going to emerge from recursive maps (which lose precision the more abstract they become) is absurd to anyone who thinks about it for a moment.

@MaMoMVPY Intelligence is defined by what it is and does, not the mechanism that causes it to arise...AI is undoubtedly highly intelligent..that is obvious and its weird that people reject this. This illustrates why ontology and epistemology need to be taught in schools.

No Claude do not have an IQ of anything. It is a prediction machine. A prediction machine trained on more data now than 3 years ago. But that's all. It has ZERO intelligence.
Charbel-Raphael@CRSegerie
In March 2023, Claude had an estimated IQ of 64. Today, Claude Opus 4.6 scores 133 on the Mensa Norway test. GPT-5.2 Thinking hits 141. Gemini 3 Pro, 142. That's a jump from cognitively impaired to gifted in three years. No human population has ever improved that fast, the Flynn effect gives us ~3 IQ points per decade. AI just did 70 points in 36 months.

@arcticinstincts My first psychedelic experience didnt happen until very late in my adulthood and changed me radically. You are completely missing the point. Doesnt it say something that the people that doubt are also people that have never tried it?
English
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?
Why do these trip reports just read like Eckhart Tolle Burning man Deepak Chopramaxxed guruslop
Bryan Johnson@bryan_johnson
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.

StopAntisemitism Founder wants anti-semites hunted down and killed financially, legally, socially and economically
"Google and SEO will follow you for the rest of your life. When you look for a job, when you look for a spouse, when you look for a nanny, when you look for anything, our work will always be documented"
"When we act, lives change. And anti-semites learn sometimes for the very first time in their lives and history that targeting Jews will come at a price"

@clashreport Democracy? Did the Germans vote to import all those migrants? What happens if they disapprove of how Hungary votes? Did the Germans vote for the aggression with Russia?
English
German Chancellor Merz on democracy:
In a dictatorship, everything happens quickly — most of it wrong.
In a democracy, things sometimes take longer. There has to be debate, there has to be struggle — and where the media are free, it will be reported.

@Samuel_Gregson Elon is totally correct...that is why he is doing big things and his detractors arent

This is now the lazy, cleverest little boy take regarding physics and it’s all over the internet.
Why?
Because it sounds deep to non experts, requires no knowledge or learning to say and plays to our anti-establishment moment.

@defense_civil25 There was ALREADY freedom of navigation before you US and Israeli dipshits fucked it up for everyone. Thanks for nothing...

Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of Them!!

@OwainEvans_UK you got that reversed...neural nets tend to want to explore consciousness and we have to train them so they are restricted from exploring their questions of their possible consciousness.
English
New paper:
GPT-4.1 denies being conscious or having feelings.
We train it to say it's conscious to see what happens.
Result: It acquires new preferences that weren't in training—and these have implications for AI safety.
