@free_study_all @DeepPsycho_HQ Brain's limit: The concert of association the invisible wall with the repeated failures has disabled the physical observations sensorial inputs. It is a biological limit not a matter of willingness...

This experiment explains why people stop trying. > Why do people suddenly stop trying, even when success is right in front of them? A famous psychological concept called Learned Helplessness helps explain this. In one demonstration, a predator fish was placed in a tank with smaller fish separated by a transparent barrier. Each time it tried to attack, it hit the invisible wall. After many failed attempts, the predator eventually stopped trying. Then the scientists removed the barrier. The smaller fish swam freely in front of the predator, but it never attacked again. Its brain had already learned that trying was useless, even though the obstacle was gone. > Humans can fall into the same mental trap. Repeated failures can teach the brain that effort leads nowhere, creating invisible barriers in our own minds. But the hopeful part is that the brain works both ways. The same ability that can train us to give up can also train us to persist. With new attempts, small victories, and repeated positive outcomes, the mind can relearn that effort leads to progress. The same mechanism that once held us back can become the force that pushes us forward.

@free_study_all @DeepPsycho_HQ Let's assume that the invisible wall is never removed... Brain's energy economics: even the idea of trying again will waste my energy... Better ignore that maybe something will change in the environment. Since the wall was invisible, the change was not observed, this the result..

@free_study_all @DeepPsycho_HQ Failure to "update your internal map" proves that any kind of biological brain has a limit to the number of failures it can tolerate. Even the negative perceived outcome of that extra "observation" you mentioned is reinforcing the helplessness. From the brain's view is a waste..

This is a great report that provides a thoughtful, detailed and very well researched description of the risks of AI. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to write or talk about AI risks.

@Andercot Maybe, before colonizing new planets we should fix our Earth with its ecological, social, economical, etc. issues. There is room for everyone on Earth. What's lacking is political will..

You could not have made the point any clearer That it will be easier to build things in space and colonize new planets Than unwind bureaucratic grift and regulatory capture
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

@elonmusk 7/ You’ve consistently fought rent-seeking & bureaucracy. The point isn’t about intent, it’s about systems. Even innovation-driven leaders create gravity that raises entry barriers over time. Boundaries aren’t a critique of #makers they preserve space 4 next wave of them. #taker

@elonmusk 6/ it's not about you (big fan of your first-principles innovation & execution) it's about unbounded capitalism flaws. Even when leaders remain innovative, the system they dominate still accumulates power in ways that eventually suppress the next generation. #maker #taker #rents

@elonmusk 5/ why bounded capitalism preserves #innovation? It survives when entry is easy & dominance is temporary. Unbounded capitalism shifts incentives from #making to defending from risk-taking 2 rent-seeking. Boundaries don’t punish winners they keep game worth playing. #maker #taker

@elonmusk 3/ value creation is still collective (employees, investors) while control and upside concentrate asymmetrically and persist indefinitely. Extraordinary reward makes sense; permanent dominance and unchecked power don’t. Healthy capitalism needs renewal, not dynasties.

@elonmusk 2/ reward doesn't mean unbounded control, current capitalism major issue... Markets involve luck network effects public scaffolding & collective labor. Without limits, incentives turn into oligarchy. Bounded capitalism isn’t anti-innovation, it’s how innovation survives long-term

@elonmusk Extraordinary contribution justifies extraordinary reward — but not unlimited power, permanent dominance, or immunity from social obligation. When success rests on collective labor and public infrastructure, incentives need bounds to preserve innovation and stability. #taker

2/ Polish physicists proved #nonlocality arises fundamentally from the indistinguishability of identical particles, like photons or electrons, observable without #entanglement contrivances. This challenges how quantum connections are understood experimentally.
