Welcome to @MancerAI_ 🧙‍♂️☢️♟️🤖 Former physics guy now deep in ML/AI dev... And I guess officially research since my paper got accepted? I typically (shit-)post about: 🔹Raw AI research experiments & cognition hacks 🔹Takes on frontier AI progress, efficiency (thermoputers, liquid AI approaches etc). 🔹AI art when feeling creative (or pretentious) 🔹Space exploration and news 🔹Chess (my first passion) 🔹Shitposts, memes, and hot (sometimes spicy) takes on where intelligence is headed. 🔹Occasional wild speculation on odd futures we're building toward. If you're into demystifying how brains/minds might map to machines without the stick around. 🪄

New meme template just dropped

@petergostev Best use of meme I've seen this far, bravo 5/5!

Good grief

@NorthForNords @LandsknechtPike Sweden won more wars. Importantly the later ones

@LandsknechtPike So what we can conclude is that the Danes were the superior Vikings.

Look how many wars were fought between Sweden 🇸🇪 and Denmark 🇩🇰 in the Middle Ages.

Every single Bernie AI take is just this

@venturetwins @lumpenspace

He did the meme

@djcows Interestingly the act of mattering is not material

nothing matters more than matter

@_michaelginn @Michael_Druggan "I don’t have one because I don’t think it’s a useful concept" - so why do you introduce a concept to the discussion if you don't have a definition nor find it useful? Seems counterproductive both to the discussion and at large if you don't like the concept

@MancerAI_ @Michael_Druggan Yes, in a sentence that ended with a question mark.

I never respected this guy but now I respect him even less. This is an absolutely braindead take when you look at the details. Not only is the task something almost no human programmers can do either (one-shotting programs in ridiculous languages like brainfuck) the models can solve it just fine when allowed to use their full capabilities in an agentic harness.

(former) gamers: do you game less since vibecoding became super easy and accessible?

LLM sceptics have predicted the last 7 of 0 walls

@_michaelginn @Michael_Druggan You're the first one to mention the term AGI. But oh well. I guess I got my answer

@MancerAI_ @Michael_Druggan I asked him, based on his own definition

@_michaelginn @Michael_Druggan Yet you talk about what AGI could or could not do. Curious.

@MancerAI_ @Michael_Druggan I don’t have one because I don’t think it’s a useful concept

@IterIntellectus New meme template just dropped

this picture is so funny

@_michaelginn @Michael_Druggan What's your definition of AGI? How many humans would be able to do it? Dry code and one shot it?

@Michael_Druggan Surely AGI should be able to write correct code in a well documented language without needing to repeatedly run tests and fix issues?

wow! ⚡ Insane high temperature superconductivity breakthrough. At this rate of progress, we should have high temperature, ambient pressure superconductor by the 2030s. Scientists have made a major leap toward practical high temperature superconductors by discovering a new way to control and stabilize superconductivity through engineered structures. Researchers found a way to manipulate how superconducting materials behave without changing their chemistry directly. This helps maintain superconductivity under tougher conditions (like higher temperatures or fields), which has been a huge bottleneck. The breakthrough solves one of the core challenges in the field: making superconductors stable and usable outside extreme lab environments. Why this is huge? Superconductors carry electricity with zero resistance, meaning no energy loss. The problem? They usually need extreme cold or special conditions, limiting real world use. This new approach opens a path toward: Ultra powerful magnets (fusion, MRI, transport) Next gen electronics and quantum tech Room scale quantum computers operating without extreme cooling Floating cities and frictionless transportation networks Hyper efficient AI data centers with near zero energy waste Planet scale energy transmission without loss Compact fusion power systems becoming commercially viable Superconducting propulsion systems for advanced spacecraft Massively scaled maglev networks connecting continents and 1000s more sci fi technologies.

@SandyofCthulhu And trees, buildings, gutters, electric cables, cell towers, water towers and so on

Fun fact: men look at other men, old people, kids, and dogs when we pass them too.

@justalexoki Depends on who you ask

is it racist of me to want my kids daycare teachers to speak our language?

That looks expensive af.

@RealC0rnP0p @Plinz @GovPressOffice Damn that looks expensive

MAGA's outrage over a project that literally SAVES LIVES tells you everything! This freeway project, grounded in decades of research, restores a critical wildlife corridor and reduces DEADLY collisions on one of the busiest highways in the country — protecting both drivers and animals. FACT: The cost estimate held until last year when inflation — in part driven by TRUMP’s TARIFFS — increased construction costs. The increase is vastly LOWER than the 67% national average increase in highway construction costs. FACT: The timeline shifted by just ONE YEAR largely due to severe weather last year — five years of work is far from a “boondoggle.”

@KettlebellDan What is the ordering of those alternatives, some American imperial standard?

how likely are you to recommend 𝕏 to a friend?

Anyone else played Star Wars rebellion on PC? I loved the game but haven't heard many people talk about it. (It's also on Steam. Got it dirt cheap in some star wars bundle a decade ago)
