There’s a conversation happening on TikTok where the girls are finally talking about how a lot of men aren’t actually attractive. Like you go to the grocery store and see a ton of stunning women, but men? You will remember how many months back you last saw a hot man.

Totally vibey nothing ever happens ai timeline: Compute is dirt cheap Everything you want is negotiated to be super cheap so you’re paying for materials Shipping and supply chain stuff gets a bit cheaper 10p Top of the line media is the same price but most people get incredible stuff for free without looking at many ads Work does not require in person offices because nothing white collar is hard People move to other cities in other states because they’re just doing remote stuff or doing trades Lots of people are still obsessed with vibe coding but it doesn’t really get them anywhere Lots of ppl chilling out Big companies have enough lag and friction that tax and social systems are kept relatively the same People live with their parents or in group houses in cheaper places so housing prices are kinda the same Ppl move to red states for housing Eventually everything is just cheap including housing because we build more White collar workers shift towards the blue collar backup jobs they think are fun (like science camp teacher or park ranger) or into early retirement - people feel good about career risks because everything is so damn cheap. Medical tourism really takes off Ai stocks don’t even foom that much because ai is such a commodity and open source isn’t that far behind We don’t really get anything that much better than codex 5.3 but we figure out some interfaces so all computer tasks do not require anything beyond basic prompting Advanced ai in military acts like MAD and the world order remains similar. Robotics advances in manufacturing put us on a more even footing with China, and we start onshoring more manufacturing without American workers really having to do much Some data centers get blocked, but we’re able to build enough at home or get compute from our allies, and inference is so cheap and intelligent that we start to run out of uses for it on the margin Scientific and medical advances take some time as more automated labs have to spin up, but the discoveries make life cheaper and better for everyone

frankly the number of unsettled topics on sft is insane.

i respect everyone worried about AI safety and believe their concerns are genuine but we work to make open source AI more of a thing so that it's not owned by a small group of people this also makes it accessible to bad actors the two goals are totally incompatible
