@r0ck3t23 The "wild cards" r soo many in civilizational reality - that 1 miniscule factor the simulation overlooks - out of trillions - will COMPLETELY change the outcome. Refer : 3 body problem & even Double Pendulum Simulation/formula issue. As factors increase, predictablity crashes.

Demis Hassabis wants to do something no civilization has ever been able to do. Run reality more than once. Hassabis: “AI itself will maybe unlock new sciences… the one I’m particularly excited about is AI for simulations.” Every economy ever built. Every policy ever enacted. Every war ever fought. Happened exactly once. Against the entire human population. With no way to run it again. Hassabis: “If you raise interest rates by half a percent, you have to do it in the real world and then see what happens. You can have theories, but you can’t run it thousands of times.” Every major decision in the history of civilization was a single experiment run on billions of people with no control group and no second attempt. We called the results knowledge. They were the scars of bets we were never allowed to place twice. Hassabis: “Why aren’t they just sciences like physics today? Because the problem is they’re emergent systems… it’s very hard to do repeated controlled experiments.” Physics became physics because you can drop a ball a thousand times and get the same answer. You cannot drop a civilization and get any answer at all. You just get the wreckage and call it a lesson. Hassabis wants to change that. Hassabis: “If you could simulate things really accurately, then maybe there’s sort of new sciences to be done where you can rigorously sample from a very accurate simulator.” Simulate an economy. Crash it. Rebuild it. Adjust the inputs. Run it again. Do for civilization what the laboratory did for chemistry. But that word “accurately” is doing more work than anyone is willing to examine. To simulate a society well enough to learn from it, you have to simulate the people inside it. Not averages. Not abstractions. Agents with preferences and fears and breaking points. The more accurate the simulation gets, the less separates it from the thing it represents. The line between physics and economics was never about the nature of what was being studied. It was about the limits of the thing doing the studying. Humans were never too complex to predict. We were too complex to calculate. AI does not create new science. It collapses every science into one. Everything computable becomes predictable. Everything predictable becomes simulable. And past a certain resolution, the gap between a simulated world and a real one stops being a technical question. It becomes a philosophical question no one is prepared to answer. A simulation you can tell apart from reality is a simulation that has not finished improving. The people inside a perfect one would not wonder whether their world was generated. They would feel exactly the way you feel right now. Reading this. Certain they are real. That certainty is not evidence. It is exactly what a successful simulation would produce. Hassabis: “That will allow us to make much better decisions in these, today, what are very uncertain domains.” What he is building is not a forecasting tool. It is the quiet proof that “real” was only ever a word for what we had not yet learned to compute. And that word is about to lose its meaning.

@Andercot ... system - with ZERO - adopted - Math exploded. This is a serious foundational mistake. I have written a paper on it. It doesn't nullify Relativity at all. But downstream implications - HUGE.

@Andercot Our "HUGE" physics mistake -"space" was supposed to be null/zero [as in Math]. But thanks to Einstein -space went from "null" to 'something' - a fabric. This was a catastrophic mistake. Imagine Math without Zero. As was in Roman Num. Moment that was dropped & India's 10 digit +

The existence and operation of UFOs would imply that our physics is disastrously wrong in fundamental ways This is exciting, because it means we have vastly underestimated what technology can do.

@flowersslop as with most new things - and with 'future' - we really can't tall HOW things will play out. There are countless possibilities. And we don't even know a fraction of the factors at play. One single tiny factor can completely skew how the future plays out.

split the world into two countries: one fully embraces AGI, the other bans AI and relies on human talent and other tech progress. both genuinely try to build a fair, sustainable, just society. watch every AI hater move to the AGI country within 3 years

@scottastevenson don't underestimate how many will go "Amish" - completely rejecting all AI & technology - and choosing to live in "good old" village style. Ironically - humans are unable to handle 'over-abundance' well.

The post-AGI world is a Minecraft server where your friend has built automated factories for everything you could possibly need That’s usually the point where everyone stops playing because it’s boring Sometimes people build massive weird art projects at that point, but that gets boring too The only thing left to do after that is to create new simulated environments (games), where you can compete and feel meaning again—eg. Have duels or a duel ranking system It’s not hard to imagine how reality could be a fractal of simulations. Once a world becomes “solved”, the only thing to do is to create a new unsolved world to conquer

@anniezaidi there has been a severe crash of etiquettes, manners, culture &education in India over past 10 yrs. It is embarrasing for the proper Indians & most alarming to see India collapsing so dramatically. Political leadership bears bulk of the blame, but there r other factors also.

And the problem of the badly behaved domestic tourist abroad is essentially the problem of the same behaviour at home: fear of one's own culture & hegemony being challenged in the smallest way, the need to dominate public space, a lack of curiosity about other people's cultures

@jessica37895 describes me almost perfectly! .... I do have wine occassionally though :-) . And I am happily married!

Il ne fume pas Il ne boit pas Il n'est pas un coureur de jupons. Il ne fait pas la fête Il reste à la maison Il ne parie pas Où puis-je le trouver ?

@Pontifex Well said, Your Holiness. AI is formed from the collective intelligence of all humanity -after reading practically all books from all languages. Used ethically - it can be the biggest boon to humanity - can solve countless problems, issues, diseases. However, in evil hands ...

#AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, it calls for a measured and vigilant approach. The speed and simplicity with which practical assistance can be accessed undoubtedly makes life easier. Yet they can also encourage excessive reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgment. #MagnificaHumanitas

@MoFromYYZ 1. The tokens are from the same company. 2. In the company these register as revenue. 3. Boosted revenue super boosts the valuation of the company - specially so when it is is about to go public. It's a winning strategy in this strange world of corporate "valuation"

I met an Anthropic engineer who spends nearly $1M in tokens per month. What.

@WhateverVishal you feel bad about racism towards Indians - buy yourself being racist towards other Indians??? Boss - you are an even BIGGER problem. "I am cream" "Gujrati & Haryanvi bad"

I feel bad for the Cream 5% Indians like me We are self aware Contribute most Carry Wrappers to dustbin But somehow fall in same category of Brain Dead Tharidiot from Haryana/Loud Uncouth Garba maxxing Gujarati in Vietnam

@siddharthwv Core life lesson : "Life is not fair". Bad things happen to the best of people. And vice-versa.

A friend who: - Graduated from Stanford - Interned at Google - Was the best in his class Got laid off recently and now can't find a decent job anywhere. But he did everything "right," right?

@Unexplained2020 Human haven't understood "Space" properly yet. Instead of the "null" [Zero, nothing] - Einstein turned it intp "something": space-time-fabric -"killing" the concept oif ZERO in physics. Now imagine MATH without ZERO. That's exactly what the Roman numeral WAS. Thats why it died.

What if UFOs aren’t “visitors”… but zookeepers? A physicist‑turned‑economist who worked on AI at Lockheed and NASA argues we’re already inside an alien domestication program – and that the universe we see is designed to keep us small. We could, in theory, colonize the entire galaxy in under a million years. The universe is ~14 billion years old. So… where is everybody? Either our potential is an illusion, or something is blocking everyone else. Professor Robin Hanson argues it is very likely that alien life exists not just somewhere in the universe, but even inside our own solar system, and that we may already have found signs of it in meteorites and fossils that mainstream science chose to ignore because they came from “low‑status” researchers. He also says that if something advanced has reached us from another star, it almost certainly reached many other places too, which means we are probably living under rules set by a much older civilization. He has a PhD from Caltech, worked at Lockheed and NASA, and is a professor at George Mason University, known for his work on “grabby aliens,” the Great Filter, and future AI civilizations. Let’s unpack this wild but surprisingly logical idea.🚀

@spk79790 @JamesCibella builds : focus, passion, dedication, memory expansion, reasoning [yes - spelling correctly takes reasoning also] ... super-boosts vocabulary. Taught him discipline. And not - super boost in confidence, pride & drive.

@JamesCibella This game is of no real use in the modern world!

This was beyond insane. He spelled 32 words and set the new record on his way to winning the Bee!

@JBananas53256 @Sai_Ishaya_ They replaced 1st. Now they are getting replaced. The Irony! Doesn't matter what "they" want. They don't rule this country - the corporations do. Well, they wanted "Capitalism" - they got it. Can't have your cake & eat it too.

@Sai_Ishaya_ They do not want any immigrant, legal or illegal. They ate sick and tired of being replaced. It is not racism.Indians, Chinese, muslims will act same if situation was reversed.

Every day, we're trapped in the paradox of the "Schrödinger’s immigrant", a mythical outsider who exists simultaneously as a lazy welfare dependent & an unstoppable machine taking all the jobs(both skilled & unskilled). The immigrant remains a highly convenient shape shifting scapegoat designed to explain away ALL complex, systemic domestic failures. Keeping this paradox alive ensures politicians never have to answer for a decade of chronic underinvestment, flatlining productivity, & broken infrastructure.

@Sai_Ishaya_ Ha!! ...Well, prosperity evokes jealousy ... which further evokes racism. Indians need to ignore the BS arising in X - and just keep on keeping on. Just take some common sense precautions - some of such racists occassionally get violent.

@DrNimoYadav Hindu khatray main hai.

Tin shed Collapsed at Lucknow's Charbagh railway station, some people got trapped under it. Final destination is becoming a reality in India 😭😭

@LanaLokteff Whites : Crucified Christ. Genocided 100+ Million Native Americans 6+ Million Jews 6+ Million others Nuked 2 Civilian cities Slavery Colonized, looted DOZENS of countries Inflicted 2 WWs upon the world. Killed Millions in wars since WW2. Now YOU r crying "POOR ME". HA! ..'Karma'

We Need To Talk About The Indian Problem

@LanaLokteff The White Problem : White invaded, colonized America, Australia, India, Africa, Pakistan etc etc etc. Raped, looted them for CENTURIES. STILL in America, Australia etc. Well, now enjoy the reverse. Cry, Tweet, Howl as much as you like -this karmic payback can't be stopped.

@TheMG3D incredibly long list. Listing even a dozen points - would be seriously undermining the vast ocean of its capabilities.

What are actual good uses for AI?

@shifkey @Aella_Girl My end it answers correctly.

AI is clearly very intelligent. I don't understand how someone can work with the models in any sort of depth and think it's 'simply autocomplete.'
