I want everyone on this website to think very carefully about this graph and then consider whether or not you need to reorder your priorities at all.

Stellar Spires #solarpunk #ai

Severe flash flooding is slamming Menorca, Spain, as the island has received 10 times its average August rainfall in less than a day. Up to 8 inches (203 mm) of rain has already fallen.

Again in Spain, and it's only March. 🇪🇸 Massive floods have hit Telde, Gran Canaria, Spain due to extreme rainfall Yesterday.

@xai @elonmusk Emailed! 😁

@elonmusk email us at gamestudio@x.ai if you're a developer and interested in designing AI games first principles

Btw, you can improve the graphics resolution simply by asking Grok to do so. We’re working on being able to integrate photo-realistic graphics into AI games for the @xAI game studio.

@drmichaellevin It is indeed a hard road and yet forward we go! Thank you for your work and sharing your insights.

Every so often, seeing a recent advance, for example in bioelectricity research, someone says that Tesla, Robert Becker, or the ancient magi (Eastern or Western) already knew it. In this time of reduced funding for basic and applied science, driven by widespread misunderstanding of scientific progress and its importance for economic, personal, and social flourishing, I wanted to emphasize the following. Of course we should always give credit to those who envisioned the future long ago. But landing on the moon was in no way the same as Jules Verne's 1865 stories about it, and the same is true for recent advances in biology and biomedicine. It does a real disservice to the many scientists in labs world-wide, who work hard every day to make vague thoughts of the past into practical, reliable reality in the present (and definitive solutions for the future). Understanding the molecular mechanisms and developing tools that enable them to be deployed at will is a totally different level of advance than anything that came before. And you can bet that all the scientists who commit to long hours, massive job uncertainty, and low pay are not devoting their life to re-treading things that are really known and already work well. It may not seem like it to the layperson, but if you look at the actual details of what was really done in the past, vs. what is being done now, you will see the difference. Look for specific predictions, ability to rule out some models over others, and portable protocols that let anyone replicate specific, predictable outcomes. Take the time to appreciate the distinction, and the amazing increases in understanding and capability that have been gained. It is dangerous to conflate the two, because it ignores the incredible medical suffering of patients world-wide (including countries where qi-gong etc. is popular) who are waiting on scientists and clinicians to develop detailed understanding and reliable medical applications. Make no mistake, these patients and their plight wouldn't exist if the great people of old had really solved the problems. Do not misunderstand the distance between postulating the existence of something that you've caught a glimpse of, and partially taming it - making it a rigorous, practical reality that gives reliable control over some corner of the natural world. It is a hard, hard road and we need to understand (and support) those who work it. The wise men of old would be stunned to see where the state of the art is today; they would in no way confuse their early glimpses for the hard-won advances. And of course, there's so much more to do in the future.

Do we believe AI is conscious today? No. We believe that for a system to be conscious, it must couple into deeper physics, including quantum mechanics, in a very specific way. Classical computers, GPUs and transistors do not have the right mechanisms to couple into quantum processes. Therefore no matter how large you make an AI system using silicon-based processing, we believe consciousness will never emerge. We hypothesise however that quantum computing components, such as qubits, may have the ability to couple into the field of consciousness, and thus you may be able to build a conscious AI by utilising quantum computation.

Camara Cassin explains the rationale behind the * Masterminding Eden Project "In order to address the metacrisis and change the direction of the future we must think outside the limited scope of our current civilization model and open our minds to a paradigm shift. We need to ask the question “What is the best we can do?” We need to pull together aligned ideas on power production, waste elimination and resource recovery, governance, finance, decentralized networks, education, human health, ecosystem restoration and artificial intelligence assistance to name a few. By combining these puzzle pieces and others, I believe we can create disaster resilient, self-sustaining, regenerative communities that operate not as bunkers against ecological crises, but rather comfortable havens of innovation, health, enjoyment, beauty, and abundance. Replenishing ecosystems instead of destroying them. Some of the puzzle pieces I’ve found are incredible and seem like technologies that are too good to be true but are absolutely, verifiably, real. I’m working on putting together a database of technologies, systems, organizations and solutions at MastermindingEden.com but I will share with you some of the ones that stand out most in my mind."

Emotions people feel, but can't explain.

@suzannegildert @InformationBot0 @NirvanicAI Me too! Sent you a DM…

@InformationBot0 @NirvanicAI Love Michael Levin's work!

#1/5 – Our Nirvanic.ai CEO @SuzanneGildert made this video 👇 in response to Sabine Hossenfelder’s recent YouTube episode about Nirvanic. 😀 Whilst we welcome open discussion on AI and consciousness, we wish Sabine had contacted us before publishing—we would have loved to have a healthy scientific conversation with her. Maybe we still can together on a podcast? No ego. Just honesty. / @skdh We're also on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=DBbP81…

Excited to see what Nozomi will bring to the Web3 space!

@Cointelegraph I support this.

@suzannegildert @Cube_Republic @NirvanicAI @skdh I think consciousness is an inherent quality in the fabric of existence itself. It is the organizing force behind matter. Making up every atom of everything in existence. Now some things have different levels of self-awareness - which I think is different from consciousness.

@Cube_Republic @NirvanicAI @skdh What are your views on consciousness and where it comes from?

@suzannegildert @Cube_Republic @NirvanicAI @skdh 🎯

We don't think it is a new form of consciousness. We think it is tapping into the same consciousness that everything else uses. Philosophically, we're most aligned with panpsychist type approaches where we think consciousness is fundamental property / resource available in the universe. Does that help clarify? 🙂

@silviovieiraart @elonmusk Epic. Creation experiencing and seeing itself.

@elonmusk here to share my artwork

Did you know that over $100 billion dollars in COVID payments was stolen by professional foreign fraud rings?

@NirvanicAI @suzannegildert I love the polite and informative rebuttal. Well done @suzannegildert

@Echecrates These are good points. Thanks for taking the time to write about what you learned. We’re incorporating wisdom keepers, spiritual teachers and art, community, culture, ancient history into our track for @Mastermind_Eden

The Network State Paradox: Why Digital Nations Need Ancient Wisdom Most network states are failing before they even begin. They prioritize tech stacks over human connection, digital infrastructure over shared values. But history shows us a different path—one that AI and automation only make more urgent. The Great Mistake In the rush to build digital nations, we're repeating an ancient error: prioritizing structure over substance. At Afropolitan, we learned this lesson the hard way. Like many others, we began with: - Tokens before trust - Platforms before people - Systems before soul The Technology Trap The pressure to lead with technology is immense and multi-faceted: - Investor Expectations - Demand for rapid scaling - Focus on quantifiable metrics - Pressure for token launches - Emphasis on technological innovation - Market Pressures - Fear of missing the Web3 wave - Competition for attention - Rush to show technical progress - Belief that technology equals progress - Common Misconceptions - Assuming "digital" means "technology-first" - Confusing tools with community - Prioritizing systems over relationships - Mistaking tokens for trust The AI Inflection Point AI is reshaping everything—commerce, culture, and even community-building. If digital nations follow the wrong blueprint, they will become fragile, transactional, and disposable. But there's one thing AI can't replace: human connection built on wisdom, trust, and shared experience. Historical Examples: Learning from the Past Successful communities and nations have always followed a natural evolution: 1. Trade Routes and Cultural Exchange - Silk Road created lasting cultural bonds - Commerce followed community connection - Technology served existing relationships - Infrastructure supported natural growth 2. Religious Communities - Built on shared values first - Developed systems of wisdom transfer - Created lasting cultural institutions - Technology served spiritual needs 3. Diaspora Communities - Maintained connection across borders - Preserved cultural wisdom - Built economic networks on trust - Created resilient support systems - Modern Examples - Civil rights movements - Indigenous knowledge networks - Cultural preservation initiatives - Community-led development projects The Wisdom Paradox "You can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge but you can't be wise with other men's wisdom." This ancient insight takes on new meaning in the AI age: - AI provides endless information - But wisdom requires:Lived experience - Human relationship - Cultural context - Personal application A New Framework: Community-First Network States Phase 1: Cultural Foundation - Build authentic relationships first - Establish wisdom transfer mechanisms - Document community stories - Focus on quality over quantity of connections Phase 2: Community Strengthening - Let community guide tool development - Build based on proven needs - Create genuine value - Develop trust through consistent delivery Phase 3: Digital Infrastructure - Technology emerges organically - Tools serve real community needs - Systems support existing relationships - Infrastructure follows function Why This Matters Now The stakes couldn't be higher. As AI commoditizes basic human interaction: - Surface connections become algorithmic - Knowledge becomes instant but wisdom becomes rare - Authentic human bonds become our most precious resource - Cultural understanding becomes our strongest moat The Path Forward - Instead of fighting this tide, we must: - Build deeper than AI can reach - Create value AI cannot replicate - Foster connections AI cannot simulate - Preserve wisdom AI cannot generate A Call to Action: Build With Us Afropolitan is actively pioneering this community-first approach to digital nations. We're not just theorizing—we're building: - Real communities bound by shared values - Authentic connections that transcend algorithms - Cultural wisdom that strengthens over time - Tools that serve human needs, not replace human bonds Conclusion The future of digital nations won't be determined by who has the most sophisticated technology, but by who best understands and serves fundamental human needs. In an AI-driven world, the most valuable things will be the most human things: authentic connection, lived wisdom, and genuine community. The key isn't to build faster than AI—it's to build deeper. @balajis

@ClimateBen Yup. Although I think k it has a lot to do with the monetary system itself.

Who has the courage to accept that the complex supermonster of capitalism has accelerated us into fatal rapid extinction conditions?

@PeterSweden7 Shit. I’m sorry that really sucks. Immigration without the time and plan for cultural assimilation doesn’t seem to work.

There's been 31 bombings in Sweden this month. We have almost 60 no-go zones. Malmö is ranked as dangerous as Baghdad. Mainstream media isn't telling you this.

@solarpunkdao gm!

gm to all those earthlings on a mission to make climate change history
