@sander496 @VraserX Yes and googling and asking smarter friends and extending a recently published book to the next logical step. Patents are proof almost all ideas are tweaks

@VraserX Are the things you learn from other people still your thoughts?

If your best thoughts are AI augmented, are they still yours?

The sweet spot for land may be county zones within robotaxi distance of major cities that refuse to allow development to keep up with demand

@PeterDiamandis My 2035 forcast: 10% of humans became trillionairs. 50% government employees. 40% depend on welfare distribution from the taxes raised and redistributed by a much larger government

The frequency at which we're throwing around 'trillions' and 'trillionaires' has become NORMAL. That's insane.

@kerckhove_ts Yes! Now even easier with ai. Right away I see I was solving the wrong problem

I keep hearing that developers write code too early in the whole "getting things done" process but my experience says the exact opposite. The only real way I've found to figure out requirements IS to start writing code and see what I bump into.

@VraserX I don’t trust Amazon since they shifted to a sponsored search AND I bought terrible products as a result

Amazon just launched a healthcare AI assistant across its site and app. This is where AI gets very real very fast, not image generation, not toys, but symptoms, meds, lab results, and care logistics. Reply: would you trust a Big Tech health assistant for everyday guidance, yes or no?

@adam_dorr @elonmusk Good point. It seems the number of non primate evolved into even less like originals way outnumber primates that evolved to have powerful simulations. The oddest intelligent life I know is an octopus. We are in one of it’s descendants ai sim recreatinh the primate nuke era

My biggest problem with the simulation hypothesis is its anthropocentrism. Popularizers like @elonmusk but also even the original proposal by Nick Bostrom presumed it would be likely be human-related minds that would be the simulators ("our descendants", typically). I agree it's overwhelmingly likely we are living in a simulation. Probably our universe is "a simulation". But what that means, and why it is distinct from simply "a universe" ceases to be all that meaningful when you strip away the assumption that the simulators must be like us. I think it's overwhelmingly likely the simulators are nothing like us.

@PierceLilholt Both well funded and might do something

Why is quantum computing being added to AI infrastructure if the result can’t be explained?

@PeterDiamandis 2

How far out can experts predict the future? It used to be 20 years... Then 10... Now, even 12 months feels like a moonshot prediction.

@DrPhiltill @anderssandberg This is one of those low odds high impact risks worth more than all the projects doing things we already know or don’t care about. It seems every year a new study shows excercise improves mood and fitness. Drop the 100,000 similarly unproductive and cool a small volcano

@anderssandberg I’ve sometimes wondered if a megaproject to cool the Yellowstone hotspot could be viable.

Lava cooling is at the most practical here-and-now side of volcano engineering. The main ethical issue is cost effectiveness. nytimes.com/2026/03/15/wor…

@robinhanson Many care too much to borrow at 25% to pay for necessities and luxuries today and care too little to learn how compounding works.

Do most people care too much, or too little, about money?

@tomfgoodwin I noticed one of ipen source ai I was using to read emails was trained on 9 languages, but my emails are always in english. It occurred to me if they had stuck to one language it likely would take less time to train and do a better job. Isn’t this true for all skills?

I’m surely being stupid. But if AI is rather unconstrained by expertise or capacity or to some extent speed Why do we need to divide tasks or departments to 9 agents ( the marketing agent, the optimization agent etc ) to each do one thing. And then another agent to manage the swarm. Cant one agent just be doing it all you know. It seems very skeuomorphic. Will we have HR agents to make sure the agent agents are being looked after ? A office canteen manager agent to feed the agents ? Seems daft

I suspect this is why beans and mushrooms are healthy. They are slightly poisonous.

@fotsch1 @brian_armstrong At that age they have been frail so long they can hardly remember what 25 felt like. Most of thier favorite people are gone. Would they turn down rejuvenation for thier 15 year old dog? Or thier 80 year old kids?

The funniest part? Ever talk to someone who’s 100 or older? Living another 100 years is the last thing of interest to them. Dying is part of life. “Death is one of the greatest inventions ever. It cleans out the old to make way for the new.” — Steve p.s. engr w/ a great grandmother who lived to be 105 tech folks don’t seem to get that most humans don’t want to live forever; they want to have a quality life for as long as God plans for them to be alive

Getting old shouldn't be viewed as inevitable, just because it happens to everyone. It's a disease that kills over 100,000 people a day, and hopefully it will be optional in the future.

@PierceLilholt It will eventually. The question is what kind of sidelining? Considering Earth uses roughly 0% of the solar systems mass and energy there is no scarcity that mandates extermination

Why should we believe that AI won’t create a hierarchy that sidelines humanity?

@Ki_fun_thoughts @HowThingsWork_ @grok Perfect! I look forward to seeing the rental advertisements

@idealfrontiers @HowThingsWork_ @grok They do, but the Army focuses on moving vehicles that move people over bridges. All we need here is... alibaba.com/product-detail…

The marathon in China features a "pendulum" crossing method designed to allow residents to cross the street safely without interrupting the race flow.

@AaronPowell_CA @rohanpaul_ai Thanks GPT

Citadel Securities published this graph showing a strange phenomenon. Job postings for software engineers are actually seeing a spike. The graph here is short term but still it's super interesting and really strange. Is it Jevons paradox at play. When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer. When software is cheaper to build, companies naturally want to build a lot more of it. Businesses are now putting software into industries and tools where it was simply too expensive before. --- Chart from citadelsecurities .com/news-and-insights/2026-global-intelligence-crisis/

@Ki_fun_thoughts @HowThingsWork_ @grok does the military have temporary bridges? What was the longest and tallest ever deployed?

@HowThingsWork_ It would be really interesting to work out the value of a Temporary Bridge. Seems they would pay for themselves dozens of times per year for all sorts of projects.

@Codie_Sanchez Until rejuvenation makes medicines mostly obsolete

If you had to pick one industry that'll survive this...it isn't even the trades, it's medicine. Anything that lets boomers live longer and more comfortably will explode as they extend life with big bank accounts.

@PeterDiamandis Its simple. The government already taxes everyone making money hires to redistribute to the unemployable. We could have 1% trillionairs, 49% government employees and 48% collecting benifits. Shared bedroom rents $10,000 a month and robot grown food $1 a month

The transition from UBI to UHI is a race. Can the deflationary wave arrive before the social fracture becomes irreparable? Can we create Abundance (collapse the cost of basic needs) before the valley of desperation destabilizes the political conditions for the transition to complete? Call for brilliant ideas... Soon.

@x3ideRaven @ryumitsuaki @thebradfordkim @Polymarket Yes to a person plugged into the matrix there is no way to know which of the other people are NPCs or also plugged in. It could be 1 or a trillion.

@ryumitsuaki @thebradfordkim @Polymarket Prove that’s happening.

JUST IN: Renowned AI professor claims the universe is a simulation created to develop superintelligence — and will "soon be turned off."
