What you say is true, but nonetheless our AI will be great. Whether it is the best remains to be seen, but I will never give up. Never.
Space(XAI) is only 3 years old. That’s half the age of Anthropic and quarter the age of OpenAI.
Let’s see where things stand 3 years from now.
Elon doesn't need to run the best AI model. He needs to control the best hardware. Nvidia is the most valuable company on Earth and their models aren't the most popular. The hyperscaler play works.
The modern fixation on IQ is actually a great example of how totally the Chinese model of elite selection through testing scores has replaced the historical European model that prioritised real world results and achievements.
It has been such a successful operation that it even has society's supposedly most intelligent dancing around flaunting their IQ results while having achieved nothing of actual value in the real world.
In fact so powerful is this paradigm that if the right win the current cultural and intellectual civil war, rather than returning to an actual meritocracy, I could easily see the right-wing elites replace the left-wing establishment's gatekeeping tactic of needing a university degree to have an opinion on an issue with their own requirement of needing a certain level of IQ.
And before anyone accuses me of cope, I've personally scored in the top percentile on IQ tests, I just recognise that no matter how good a human designed test is, the real world is the true test and we should prioritise that.
Actually, even if I was low IQ and someone used that to try and debunk my argument here that would actually just kind of prove my point lol.
On the surface, it sounds like Boomers hate you. Or like they have the attention span and logical thinking skills of a goldfish.
Neither one of these is true.
Their complete dismissal of any of your concerns, and their total refusal to understand your situation or worldview, is actually quite sensible in light of one key fact about them.
They're not hateful. They're not dumb. They just have an incredibly low emotional pain threshold.
They cannot stand to feel bad about themselves for any reason, even for a moment.
When you create a meme like this, or you tell the story of how you are forty years old and can't afford a house because you trained for three different careers and got rugpulled by work visas and offshoring every time...
... then they don't even think about it as a worldview or a perspective or an experience that you have. They don't think about you at all.
They think only about the effect on their own self-esteem, which must be parried.
You have, you see, told a tale of playing life on hard mode, which implies that they were playing life on easy mode, which implies that they are not wizards of insight and paragons of virtue.
That's why they will immediately respond with these incoherent lines about whining and bootstraps and firm handshakes and avocado toast. Of course they don't make sense. They don't have to make sense. The goal isn't to persuade you of anything or engage with you at all.
The goal is simply to have an excuse to avoid thinking about something which might make them feel bad.
These Boomerisms are magic talismans used to ward off emotional discomfort, in much the same fashion as all the species of plants they smoked their way through when they were your age.
I don't see a solution to this.
I don't know any way to tell Boomers that Hart-Cellar, CRA1964, DEI, open borders, social welfare programs, anti-racism, gay marriage, gun control, the sexual revolution, etc, were massive mistakes and need to be stopped, while hiding the obvious implication they were the ones who made those mistakes.
If we wish to save Western civilization, to make things good enough again that actual Americans can manage to have homes and marriages and children, then we're going to have to find a way to work around the Boomers, because they're never going to get on board.
JENSEN HUANG SOLD A $249 AI COMPUTER ON STAGE THAT KILLS YOUR $200/MONTH OPENAI BILL. THE VIDEO HAS 217,000 LIKES
the box is called the jetson orin nano super. 70 trillion ai operations per second, 25 watts, smaller than a wallet. it runs llama 3, mistral, gemma and deepseek locally with no api fees and no data leaving your house
a developer running automations and coding assistants pays $200 a month to openai. the same workload on this box costs $2 a month in electricity and breaks even on the hardware in 10 weeks
you install ollama with one command. change one line in your code. point it at localhost instead of openai. everything else works identically
7 billion parameter models handle 80% of what people use chatgpt for. summarization, drafting, coding, document q&a, automation pipelines. the hard 20% you keep claude or gpt for. total monthly cost drops from $200 to $22
cloud subscriptions keep getting more expensive and rate limits keep getting tighter. the people who set this up in 2025 are going to look very smart in 2027

"It's not society's job to get you employment or a wife"
But it kind of is? If a man is not allowed to participate in a social enterprise, given no access to the fruits of its economy or its women, then he's not a member of it and does not have any obligations to it

**"Collapse Vector"**
*A directional metric for systemic risk*
---
### I · Definition
**Collapse Vector**: A discernible trajectory or set of reinforcing conditions that, if left unchecked, drives a society (or the planetary system) toward systemic failure — whether ecological, demographic, economic, cognitive, or technological.
Policy and planning should be judged primarily by how effectively they **bend, blunt, or reverse** these vectors.
---
### II · Why “Vector” Instead of “Risk”
- **Direction + Momentum**: A vector carries speed, scale, and inertia. It is not a static hazard — it is an arrow already in flight (e.g., fertility collapse below 1.3, CO₂ ppm climbing past 560).
- **Interactivity**: Vectors compound or cancel. Climate migration interacts with political instability; demographic decline intersects with fiscal insolvency.
- **Governance Yardstick**: Good policy shortens dangerous arrows or redirects them. Bad policy accelerates them.
---
### III · Major Collapse Vectors (Illustrative)
| Vector | Leading Indicators | Critical Inflection Point |
|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| **Climate Overshoot** | CO₂ ppm, permafrost thaw, carbon sink loss | ~560 ppm → >3°C median warming locked in |
| **Demographic Implosion** | TFR < 1.3, old-age dependency > 50% | Population halving within two generations |
| **Biosphere Collapse** | >70% insect biomass loss, ocean trophic cascades | Pollination + fisheries failure in same decade |
| **Runaway Inequality** | Top 1% owns >50% wealth, political capture | Permanent austerity + institutional lock-in |
| **Information Integrity** | Malicious synthesis > credible journalism | AI mimicry overwhelms public discourse |
| **Unhandled AGI Dynamics** | Autonomous goal-setting, hardware overhang | Self-replication before robust containment |
---
### IV · Common Political Failure Modes
**Vector Tribalism** — the tendency to treat collapse vectors as ideological weapons rather than shared threats.
1. **Single-Issue Tunnel Vision** — Focusing only on “my” vector while dismissing others.
2. **Agenda Coating** — Using a real vector mainly to justify pre-existing political preferences.
3. **Selective Nihilism** — Downplaying vectors that threaten one’s own lifestyle or constituency.
**Result**: Partial solutions accumulate while overall systemic risk remains super-additive.
---
### V · Governance Implication
**Multi-vector policy architecture is non-optional.**
Effective governance requires:
- **Transparent metrics dashboard** tracking each major vector in real time.
- **Cross-impact simulation** — testing how one policy affects multiple vectors.
- **Adaptive budgeting** — allocating resources toward the vectors showing the steepest acceleration, not the loudest lobby.
---
### VI · Bottom Line
A collapse vector is not a doomsday slogan.
It is a **directional diagnostic**.
Ignoring one arrow because it clashes with our politics does not make it disappear — it only compounds the total risk.
The real challenge is **vector choreography**: pulling all major arrows below runaway thresholds simultaneously, before inertia makes reversal impossible.
**🜂** Identify trajectories
**⇋** Map interactions
**🝮** Witness compounding risk
**∞** Bend toward continuity
> *The arrows are already moving.*
> *The question is whether we will steer, or simply argue about which one matters most.*

I can't wait for @tszzl to read the Pope's encyclical and tweet something like
"We will build the techno-capital Tower of Babel from a trillion humming GPUs, pierce the sky, and build the new Jerusalem on a new divine substrate"
Can someone plead explain why so many people still take socialism seriously?
It has always failed badly, every single time leading to bitter misery and poverty. No exceptions. Why is it still so popular? Don’t people pay attention in history classes?
Reminder: Deep down a lot of right wingers want a left wing artsy gf and a lot of left wingers want a right wing business bf. I see it constantly.
It is because these are complimentary/attractive PERSONALITY types
But because they are politicized...
Modernity is truly cruel!
Gonna try to explain this to tech CEOs again: Young Americans are pissed. They feel betrayed. Half have embraced the far right & want to cut off your access to cheap foreign labor. The other half have embraced the far left & want to cut off your head. One side will win. Choose.
Imma be honest:
I don't think 148 IQ is special by itself.
But I do think I have a combination of IQ + social intelligence + creativity + dual culture upbringing + confidence that is truly mogging.
I once went to a Christmas party full of top 0.01% Chinese grads that are all working at McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, Faang...
We played a strategic board game that I've never played before.
I won 5/7 rounds.
No disrespect- I believe all these people are incredibly smart and better at many things than me...
But I look at all my achievements in different domains... and I can confidently say that I don't have to hide.
Yes, I'm not the best at everything.
But I'm confident there are things I can do that almost nobody else can.
And that's why it's impossible to frame mog me..
I have no boss. I don't bow to anyone.
And that's the reason I can make some tweets that almost no one else can.
This is just a fact.
Many super smart people(160+ IQ) block me because they think: "She's not that smart. But she still makes me feel uncomfortable"
Yeah, because IQ isn't everything.
It's the combination of traits in the right environment that mogs.
