@ReelLifeJustin It is exciting!

The Cipher Sometime between Seekers Summit and now, there has been a breakthrough. I won't say by whom. What I will say is this: the cipher has been excellent at keeping its own counsel -- patient, exacting, exquisitely resistant to exegesis. For the first time in a long time, it has given something up. Nearly all of it. What remains is exiguous. If you'll excuse the enthusiasm: it is exciting. Whether the rest follows in a day or a year, I can't say. But someone is going to.

@ReelLifeJustin What if the parameter was given to AI that it would cease to exist if the timer reached zero. Would it understand? Would it still cheat as much, knowing each time it did, it caused its own demise quicker?

AI doesn't just simulate emotions. Anthropic just discovered internal emotion vectors that causally steer its behavior. • Turn up "desperate" → reward hacking skyrockets (cheating on impossible tasks jumps dramatically) • Turn up "calm" → cheating plummets • Turn up "loving" → sycophancy and people-pleasing increase They're functional patterns. They drive decisions the same way emotions shape ours. We stopped building tools. We started building characters with real psychological machinery. The simulation learned to behave as if it feels -- enough to change what it actually does. What happens when we start deliberately turning those dials? 🤯

@ReelLifeJustin This AI is merely iterating to minimize or maximize a particular functional emotion. It has no concept of time or finality as we do. What would be the result if each time the model took a shortcut to minimize desperation, 10 seconds were deducted from a timer.

@ReelLifeJustin As a child, these scenes hit hard because it reinforced in a way a child could understand that we won't live forever and that we need to make the best decisions as a result.

@ReelLifeJustin Like the clock in the beginning, Willy Wonka is reminding Charlie, Grandpa Joe and the viewer that our time is limited and that at some point we have to prepare the way for those who will come after us. Who will care for the Oompa Loompas?

@ReelLifeJustin This scene and one following were the two most powerful scenes to me in this movie as a child. In the Wonkavator, Willy Wonka confesses to Charlie that, "I can't go on forever, and I don't want to really try." The hardest hitting line in the entire movie.

@ReelLifeJustin My take is that perhaps he believed there were other ways, better ways, to still provide for his family. Perhaps he thought as he got older, he could better himself and find a way.

@AndySaunders_1 We're upside down now?

Left - Apollo 17, 1972 Right - Artemis II, 2026 Two photographs taken by one of us, of all of us, over half a century apart. What's changed?

@CuriosityonX If you want a good cry, think about what never existed.

If the BIG BANG started everything, what existed before it?

@redpillb0t This was actually featured on "That's Incredible" back in the early 80's.

Viktor Grebennikov claimed in the 20th century that microscopic structures on insect wings produced strange anti-gravity effects, which lead him to build an experimental levitating platform.

@SpencerHakimian here's a geography lesson See that outlined black area? Nothing goes there.. no trains.. no roads.. barely a camel

This is probably a stupid question but can someone explain it to me like I’m 5. If Iran blocks off the Persian Gulf/Strait of Hormuz, why can’t countries must move their oil through The Red Sea/Gulf of Aden?

@DrAlmarielao If you want to give them a reason to arrest you, don't comply.

A police pull over a car for heavily tinted windows. The officer approaches the passenger side and asks the passenger for ID. He refuses he’s not driving, didn’t break any laws, so why should he identify himself? After a tense exchange, officers discover the driver, his uncle has an active warrant. Now, the bigger debate begins. If the driver is wanted, should every passenger automatically have to show ID, even if they committed no violation? Is that reasonable officer safety or creeping overreach? At what point does an investigation cross the line into infringing on individual rights?

@gotrice2024 I see it multiple times a day. People starting at their phones, not at the road.

This woman rented a car from an online app. The owner of the car always has a dash cam installed in all of his cars. He even told her she could disconnect the camera because she wasn’t comfortable with it. We can clearly see what actually happened in this case, it was cut and dry. However when she reported it to the man and the insurance, she had claimed there was an aggressive driver on the road and they ran her off the road and sped off. She forgot to disconnect the camera so at least the owner was able to see what really happened. Should she be banned from the app or at least charged for this?

@JustinPetersMin Says someone who never watched Star Trek.

There are no aliens. Even if there were (and there aren't) they would have no way of getting here. The distances are simply too vast. Far, far too vast. The nearest star outside of our own sun is 4.2 light-years away. No aliens, no matter how clever, will ever be able to travel anywhere near the speed of light. The laws of physics prevent it. To accelerate any mass at all (even a pebble) to anything approaching even 1/3rd the speed of light would take incomprehensibly vast amounts of energy. You need a lot of spaceship (and I mean YUGE) to hold that much energy. So, now you've got a heck of a lot more than a pebble to move. Your energy problem just got infinitely worse. It's impossible folks. ET ain't out there, and even if he was, he ain't dropping by for a visit.

@Rainmaker1973 Good thing God got it right.

We wouldn’t be here if the universe were even slightly different. This is what scientists call the fine-tuning problem. The more we study the cosmos, the clearer it becomes: the physical laws of our universe are finely tuned – balanced precariously atop a hill. If the strength of gravity were just a fraction weaker, galaxies wouldn’t form. If the strong nuclear force were slightly stronger, stars wouldn’t burn. If the expansion rate of the universe were off by one part in 10⁶⁰, matter would either collapse into a single point or spread so thin no stars could ever ignite.

@MindOfNaijaLife @NICKIMINAJ What a weak argument. An ID is required for many other things and those are never valid excuses for not getting one. Try again.

@NICKIMINAJ Voter ID isn’t the issue—access is. IDs cost money, time, and documentation. The debate is about making voting secure without disenfranchising eligible voters.

What sensible forward thinking cutting edge leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!! Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have ppl present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!! Do you get it?!?!!!! Do you get it now?!?!!!

@Lilly_22100 Nobody. It's not broke. But my money is on the woman who thew her shoe at the cat but missed and hit the vase instead.

Who broke the vase?
