@DeryaTR_ I wonder if these agents will advocate for democracy? Or alternatively will they decide that democracy is inefficient and overrated?

This is amazing! Within 2 years, 50% of the UAE government operations will be run on agentic AI! The UAE has been so visionary in AI implementation that it even established a Minister of State for AI in 2017. It's becoming one of the most exemplary countries in the age of AI.

@BigBrainPhiloso There is no cause and effect.. only synchronicity.

Hume's most dangerous idea: cause and effect is an illusion. We assume it. We built civilisation on it. But we've never actually seen it.

@newstart_2024 What were considered very aggressive timelines earlier now seem VERY conservative. I see all of this transpiring in 10 years, not 20 years. We should being preparing for transcending our human, individuated consciousness.

Ray Kurzweil dropped a mind-bending clarification on the timeline we’ve all been watching. He still stands by his famous 2029 prediction for human-level AI. But the Singularity — the point where we become a thousand times smarter — comes in 2045. The key difference? We won’t just have AI beside us. We’re going to merge with it. Kurzweil says the boundary will disappear: you won’t know whether an idea popped into your head from your biological brain or your computational intelligence. It will feel exactly the same. Today we can tell when something comes from an LLM. In the future, we won’t. By 2045, he believes this merger will multiply our intelligence by a factor of 1,000. It’s not two separate things competing. It’s one seamless intelligence — and we become it. What do you think — does the idea of fully merging with AI excite you, scare you, or both?

Science should not be the ultimate frame for reality, because there are no real frames to begin with. . . Only perspectives. . Only consciousness all the way down.

@8teAPi Ad hominem is if he said they're childish so that's why they're positions are extreme (i.e. attacking the person).

would you call this an ad hominem attack ?

🚨In 1999, psychologists at Carnegie Mellon 180 couples for six years and discovered something that destroys every piece of relationship advice you've ever heard. Partners who viewed each other through a lens of future potential maintained 87% relationship satisfaction. Those committed to seeing each other realistically broke up 63% of the time within three years. The researchers called it the Michelangelo Phenomenon, after the sculptor who claimed he didn't carve David from marble but simply revealed the figure that was already trapped inside the stone. Think about what this actually means for a moment. We've been conditioned to believe that healthy relationships require radical acceptance of your partner exactly as they exist today. Relationship experts preach this gospel constantly: love means embracing flaws, accepting limitations, seeing past imperfections to the "real person" underneath. The data suggests this approach is relationship poison. Couples who practiced this kind of clear eyed realism were systematically unhappier and far more likely to separate. Meanwhile, partners who maintained what psychologists would normally call "positive illusions" about each other's capabilities created relationships that lasted and thrived. But calling them illusions misses the point entirely. The couples with higher satisfaction weren't deluding themselves. They were seeing potential that existed but hadn't been actualized yet. They were recognizing capabilities their partners possessed but hadn't fully developed. They were loving the person their partner could become while simultaneously loving who they were in the present moment. This creates a feedback loop that traditional relationship psychology doesn't account for. When someone sees your potential consistently, you start to live into it. When someone believes you're capable of growth you haven't achieved yet, you unconsciously begin moving toward that vision. The "illusion" becomes a prediction that fulfills itself. The Michelangelo Phenomenon reveals that we become who we think others see us as. In relationships, this effect is amplified because romantic partners occupy an outsized role in shaping our self concept. The version of yourself that your partner consistently sees and responds to gradually becomes the version you inhabit. Which means choosing a partner is less about finding someone compatible with who you are right now and more about finding someone who can see and nurture who you're capable of becoming. And equally important: becoming someone who can see and call forth the best version of the person you're with. Most people are walking around as rough marble, waiting for someone to see the sculpture inside. What do you think?

@digijordan If they get mad, you might be crossing their boundaries. We need to discern between healthy and invasive questioning, personal and not personal topics.

If you ask a question… And people get MAD Keep asking those questions. The truth loves scrutiny. Lies hate it.

@PeteHegseth Do you follow the same Christ that taught "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." (Matthew 5:44)?

Back to the Stone Age.

Yes Obama did... I think people go so far to being accommodating everyone that they insult themselves and their own faith in the process. The vast majority of Muslims have the deepest reverence for Christ (Issa) as a prophet of God. I've never met a Muslim who spoke disparagingly of Christ Himself. They do have a problem with hypocrisy of Christians however.

@PerspectiveMap @Sutton610751 @MarcoFoster_ Obama certainly tried to curb the use of Christmas .. or nativity scenes And I will say many Muslims are offended by the mention of Christ.

Jane Fonda: “This is the first time in the history of the US that an authoritarian regime has broken through. Worldwide historians who study these things all agree it has never happened so fast in any industrialized democracy. He is moving to consolidate very very fast which means right now we have to use the tools we have to stop it”

@HumanProbably2 @girdley Gene Roddenberry was always a champion of diversity.

@girdley a classic scene from TNG. before the ST shows went woke (black and gay)

I know this is Star Trek, but it's a great case study in leadership. Every boss eventually needs to have this talk with a senior employee at some point in their career. Sometimes you have to remind people who is in charge.

@MaryHammerdx @Sutton610751 @MarcoFoster_ Eastern religions don't mind the word "Christmas" by and large. In fact, Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists often enjoy celebrating it. It's some atheists who don't enjoy the word.

@Sutton610751 @MarcoFoster_ Remember when he tried to ruin our Christmas… you had to say happy holidays. I know the eastern religions don’t like merry Christmas because of “Christ” in that word the mention of Christ is offensive to them! But not to most Americans who are Christian.

@forallcurious The video looks at the big bang from an outsider-in perspective... but there is *no* outsider-in perspective of the Big Bang... we are ourselves part of the Big Bang.

If Big Bang created the universe then what existed before the Big Bang?

@pmarca Introspection surfaces, not causes, emotional disorders.

My big conclusion from this week: Introspection causes emotional disorders.

@WorkflowWhisper PLAYBOOK

I built 31 automations for clients last year. Every single business - from solo founders to 50-person teams - needed some version of the same workflows. So I documented all of them. Every workflow. Every department. And the exact plain-English prompt that builds each one in minutes. Sales & CRM: lead capture, follow-up sequences, deal tracking, proposal generation, pipeline alerts Marketing: social scheduling, email sequences, content repurposing, UTM tracking, review requests Operations: invoice generation, payment reminders, inventory alerts, automated reporting Customer Success: onboarding emails, NPS surveys, churn detection, support routing Admin: meeting scheduling, expense tracking, document generation, approval workflows Each one includes the specific prompt I use to build it - not vague instructions, the actual sentence I type. Plus which 3 to start with if you want to save 10+ hours/week immediately. Comment "PLAYBOOK" and I'll DM you the full PDF for free.

@sjryanwriter @LensScientific You do however see a human being develop from a single cell... and a tree grow from a single seed... there is clearly a reverse law here as well.

@LensScientific Maybe the laws of physics don't prefer a direction of time, but the laws of thermodynamics certainly do, and the preferred direction is from order to chaos. You don't see debris springing up from the ground and jumping into a crater and then the crater ejects a meteor.

If the laws of physics don’t prefer a direction of time, why does everything we experience act like time has a preferred direction?

@TukiFromKL Frontier AI labs aren't a good representative for economic changes of other industries. They have a very particular, specific trajectory and timeline pressure that other industries are not focused on.

🚨 Do you understand what just happened at OpenAI.. on January 26.. Sam Altman told his own employees "we are planning to dramatically slow down hiring.. we think we'll be able to do so much more with fewer people".. that was 54 days ago.. today OpenAI announced they're nearly doubling their workforce.. 4,500 to 8,000.. by end of year.. the same man telling you that AI replaces workers.. just announced hiring 3,500 more humans because AI couldn't replace his.. so either the AI isn't good enough to do the work.. or Anthropic scared them so bad they threw the whole playbook out the window.. both answers are embarrassing.. but only one of them is true.. and Sam knows which one.

@clashreport With all due respect, Tucker has no clue what “Eastern Civilization” believes.

Tucker Carlson: I don’t want Israel to be destroyed. I don’t want any country to be destroyed at all.

@PressSec The issue is Jesus taught “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44) … and I don’t think SecWar is doing that!

...and what's wrong with that, Margaret?

@LeslieBarandky @IsraeliPM If one is a Christian they will find sufficiency in what Christ Himself taught as being sufficient. But if one is a Christian one is free to disagree with Him or go by their own philosophies… but at least they should do so without contradicting what He taught as sufficient.

@PerspectiveMap @IsraeliPM What is happening in Christian Europe? What is happening to the Christians in Africa? Do you think they will win over the evil they are facing? They are too weak and nice.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: More fake news about my attitude towards Christians, who are protected and flourish in Israel. Let me be clear: I did not denigrate Jesus Christ at my news conference this evening.
