That’s just beautiful. I love philosophy.

The only way to beat time is via simulation. We do it all the time. Otherwise you couldn’t drive a car! You maybe “imagine” / “model” the environment / drivers, the physics, etc.
Without intelligence we are doomed because inaction. We had the technology but apathy and dental won, and now it’s a race against entropy/time.
Basically moonshot or die trying
And the new material science discoceries etc should really help. Given that DeepMind used GNoME to find 2.2 million new crystals, including 380,000 stable materials. That’s kinda a big deal. That was November of last year. Haha people have no idea how much this could help us. We fucked up but the light is shining and we need to run fast. I’m pretty sure, short this miraculous pace of discovery and compound returns, we will/would end up in a runaway climate feedback loop. IPCC has been throwing out their best models because they don’t like the implications that it is going faster than expected and the climate sensitivity may be worse than expected.
People think AI is gonna cook us? The sun would like to make a bet.
We need to stop this or it really is a given. I’ve been in this mindset a lot, but we gotta stop. Finally there’s a tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Los of progress etc. people’s egos and distrust and cynicism about others will truly be our doom should that befall us this century (haha hopefully not this decade)
I don’t get the doom but idk I have been watching this stuff closely for over a decade. I think it’s exciting and people are having All these strange expectations out of these systems all the sudden just because they’re smart. Well they were smart before any of this generative AI stuff. Also scientific breakthroughs in medicine, blind people have something that can assist them. As someone with some disabilities, and knowing a lot of people who also have disabilities, it seems to be the privilege of the healthy and comfortable to keep the status quo.
Also if we want to play that game we were so fucked by climate change already that I had no hope. Now I have a little. It’s not going away so let’s push for open open open free software. (And model weights)
Please don’t have my backup plan. Truly a “if it’s hell on earth” situation. It just gives me mild comfort I can extinguish at least my human consciousness is necessary. Lol
Yeah I mean even just go to BLS inflation calculator and put in car prices. Cars are cheap, but if federal min wage was equal to min wage in 1960 (and this is by official stats) it would be able $16 an hour. Cars are cheap, we’re getting shafted on pay like hell. Hopefully tech moves so fast it just blows everything out of the water. Hopefully not literally. Hopefully not hell on the other side. Time will tell. But my backup is a shotgun to the forehead so I got my backup plan lol
Most sane thing I’ve read in a while. Hard to make progress starting out from even worse situation. Plus people are dumb. The genocide is terrible, but geopolitics are not as simple as just swinging the nuts around.
But you can’t trust regular people to have open source ASI, but don’t worry, we won’t fuck it up.
Big brain Yoda
Exactly. Us lefties gotta take note but so it better lol
If they fuck around they’re going to find out real fast. Look how long it’s taken to get weed semi legal. Like we’ve already lived in a kinda super wealthy oligarchy. I don’t think we need to fight, unless the fascists win. They don’t make up nearly the majority though so we could see what happened in Brazil here, horrible but they did get a more socially minded president. But Trump never conceded and still doesn’t. He’s caused basically a weird cult.
Well, they probably read Machiavelli and may not always have our best interests at heart so it’s not inconceivable it’s entirely intentional.
Lol lazy CCP. Now that optimization is going brr that probably won’t last. Lol idk maybe they don’t care. If it isn’t a problem why care? If it became an issue though they’d lock it down so fast lol
嘿,宝贝,想换VPN吗?(Hey babe, you wanna swap VPNs?) 🥵
I keep getting shocked with Arch lately. Software is getting better fast with AI to boost productivity. Blender runs at light speed on a laptop with an i7-6700hq, 16GB DDR4 and a GTX 970. Even Wayland works super well!
Reverse osmosis filtered bottled water too
Also the compounding feedback loop. AI is helping chips get gabbed faster, designs better and faster etc
🙈🐒🐒
