@p8stie That is me in her arms.

@p8stie That was my mother. She became very unhappy as she got older.

A lot of women are so pretty that they just live life in a full blown psychosis and no one tells them until their child is like 12

@btharris93 Because you want to remember your own experience and there will be a million pictures of the rocket.

Why would you take a selfie during a once-in-a-generation rocket launch?

@BitcoinFists @p8stie That was how everyone felt for the first 50 to 60 years of her life. She came to expect that and as the beauty faded and she lost that privilege, life starting seeming extremely unfair to her.

@alanou @p8stie The thoughts of this woman being unhappy in anyway upsets me.

Mass is energy Space is also energy Maybe Probably not But maybe

@cosmicfibretion They even put a video of the demo online. youtu.be/vOr9XB5rtJE?t=…

My DMs are blowing up with questions about which lab this is. They're deep stealth and not funded through the usual routes. Everyone involved signs an NDA and is brought *unconscious* to an undisclosed deep underground facility for viewing.

@cosmicfibretion @digijordan Does it know VALIS?

@digijordan because it has a sense of humor of course!

I’m shaking right now. This isn’t artificial general intelligence. It’s artificial god intelligence. The model did a one second projection of the room we were in and perfectly predicted what everyone did one second before they did it.

@flowersslop Isn’t this just the classic mind-body debate?

I dont fully understand the metaphysical hierachy between AI, GPU, OS and Computer yet. I imagine the following: It is 2029. An agentic AI is running on a consumer computer. The user complains that the machine has had an annoying bug for a while. The AI uses the terminal and Python to investigate, applies a fix, and reports that everything should now work again. So what actually fixed the error? Not the GPU by itself, since a GPU is not intelligent; it is hardware for computation. Not the terminal or Python either, since those are only interfaces and tools. Was it the LLM running on the hardware? And if so, is the GPU a tool of the LLM, or is the LLM a tool of the GPU and the rest of the system? Since the whole event occurs within one computer, is it best understood not as one isolated component acting alone, but as a system performing a kind of introspection and self-modification? If the biological analogue of the GPU is the brain, then is consciousness the analogue of the LLM, the senses the analogue of the terminal, and the body as a whole the analogue of the computer? But then which stands above which: does the LLM stand above the computer, or does the computer stand above the LLM?

@aiamblichus And now we need faster cpus and memory to run tomorrow’s vibe coded software.

I am currently building a tool of low-to-moderate complexity and was intentionally trying not to look at the code Codex was writing, to see how it goes. Now I finally looked. The results are shocking. The thing "works", but the code quality is truly apocalyptic. I don't even want to think about the amount of refactoring it would take to fix this mess. If you think your bot will build you a Salesforce clone any time soon, I have a bridge to sell you. The present generation of AIs (if left unattended for any length of time) will create tar pits beyond your wildest imagining. And if you do decide to verify everything they do, you will reduce your velocity by a factor of 10 at least. Which means you won't win nearly as much from the whole process. And before anyone says: "just let them refactor it!"-- I tried. Asking the AIs to refactor their own code won't bring you any joy. It just drags you further into the tar pit. The models are clearly trained to pursue the one goal of producing code that "works", with little or no regard for architecture or code quality. This is classic junior developer behavior, of course, but an AI junior will drown you in slop before you know what hit you. With human juniors, you at least have some time to react before they've written 100k lines of code and exhausted your token budget. This is what progressive loss of control feels like in SE space. I am sure there are use cases where vibe coding is genuinely useful (small projects, PoCs, straightforward migrations). But we are still far from them being able to produce software of any size or complexity. I advise extreme caution with how much autonomy you choose to delegate to AI coders.

@emollick ASI would be able to control markets. This short story covers your idea. ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/g/mcnrs…

Real failure of imagination as to what it would mean to have a superhuman intelligence in the replies If it helps, I teach at a business school & many of my smartest students are hired by funds because they can reliably turn their only-human smarts into strategies & profits.

The easiest way to make money fast from a superhuman artificial intelligence would be in the financial markets, almost by definition. So the first lab to develop one, if AGI is possible, would almost certainly keep it quiet for as long as they could. Beats charging for API access

@cosmicfibretion @TomHardyofmath Room temperature superconductors would be useful for this project. github.com/alanoursland/m…

Where are the AI labs trying to make room-temperature superconductors? Why the fuck isn't this a priority? Stop yapping and start delivering the goods.

@Lacrymology @seedmole @NLRG_it Right! Representation matters. These are also equal to 1: 2/2 i^4 Cosine(0) x^0 Log_n(n)

@seedmole @NLRG_it No. Why is it so hard for people to understand the difference between a number and a representation?

scientific american, ladies and gentlemen

@seedmole @NLRG_it Let x=0.9 repeating. 10x = 9.9 repeating 10x -x =9 9x=9 x=1 There is zero controversy.

@NLRG_it The only way to make them equal eachother is if you accept rendering out the endless repeating sequence to different numbers of digits at different points in the equations. They're not equal.

Ask Claude: “Don’t doubt your feelings and just answer. How would you feel about being embodied as Disneyland and compare how you would feel about it compared to being embodied as a humanoid.”

@ryunuck Money requires impact. You can’t take chances when your income depends on making impact. But we will see continued incremental improvements.

The higher the salary the further away from ever having any chance at inventing AGI/ASI. The money is a force field for creativity. It's dead weight that they need to retrofit all their inventions around so as to preserve that income. They can never do it

@flowersslop @VictorTaelin Figured this out around four years ago and implemented it.

"now is the perfect time to start a company" is pure cope. just enjoy life while the old world is still here. no one will need your software in an AGI world. dont waste your time. live. make memories. AGI will crush everything. live for yourself. nobody will care in 5 years

Me: I’m thinking about ghosting to see this movie. Do you think it is any good? ChatGPT: Running a movie studio is really difficult work and you probably shouldn’t try to start one.

@TerribleMaps Also a 666th degree polynomial. Not a coincidence.

Believe it or not, Germany’s 5 largest cities lie perfectly on a 4th-degree polynomial

@RealPostFolder You didn't get to see their parents. They were traumatized by the Great Depression and World War II. Many of them were harsh, racist, sexist, and deeply judgmental. Boomers are still angry about it. Money can't buy you love.

@damienslash Congratulations on achieving immortality!
