Good luck, the majority of people don’t understand what’s happening and the other half who are barely entertaining it are so doubtful as to call anyone taking it seriously crazy but it is crazy what’s happening. Also you have multiple nations working on this so you would need a coordinated global offence that can break through the defence of the most powerful militaries on earth ideally simultaneously. I have doubts anyone is capable of what you’re saying.

I (alongside most in the field globally) think what will be developed will have quite serious implications. There is a race between two adversaries aka US and China to achieve self improving AI first and solve the bottleneck of compute and power because whoever has the superior AI aka thinking machine will be able to outthink and out plan the other, not just now but in perpetuity.

Personally I seriously hope for humanity we’re all wrong. We are moving at a pace where I doubt we will solve the alignment problem and if this comes to pass and this thing isn’t more compassionate than us I have doubts we as a species will continue much further. What I’m saying isn’t fringe in the slightest, this is being taken seriously by that greatest in the fields of mathematics and computer science and particularly the individuals working on AI development.

This is the final bet, possibly the last invention of humanity.

I can appreciate that stance and from the outside that’s my consensus. Personally the stories that I know Christ is just a placeholder, the personification of unconditional love, hope, and forgiveness and that alone, unattached to moreso problematic ideas or stories that seem to cause, not decrease needless suffering I can always get behind.

He’s fundamentally a deeply narcissistic scammer who will always act in his self interest at the end of the day. Honestly I wasn’t even against the old republican party, the one that was more so libertarian, small government, decreased spending and the deficit and so on. Of course over the decades that party got hijacked and Trump is almost the final evolution of it into a full blown fascist white christian nationalist party. Unfortunately for them and somewhat fortunately for us all he actually doesn’t care about the party, the country, or really anything beyond what glorifies him.

Got anything besides my quotes to give your argument credibility?

I’m pretty sure a lot of them don’t know the difference or understand how mind breaking it is that some of these achievements are happening. Of course alpha fold is old news and the solutions to the Erods problems is something that should be raising eyebrows. These models are fundamentally just math and a model that’s better than humans at math can theoretically design a stronger model than us.

Looks like a bad case of overpowered firecrackers.

Also what is the situation with pain, like it’s harmful for people to take too many pain meds and it’s harmful to not give someone enough. Seems like a tricky problem with few ways to get it right and too many ways to get it wrong.

It amazes me how so many people have amnesia about this guy and behaviors he’s had for decades upon decades.

What’s their date format? Or they don’t use the same calendar?

Yeah fear, anger, greed, and resentment are much lower emotional local entropy states for us. Getting over that hill into a true global minimum is a doozy. It’s so scary we often prefer the familiar needless and avoidable suffering.

Yeah I guess one could do Tor over a VPN and that would do the trick.

I would agree but I get the counter argument. The Ethiopian Orthodox often gets overlooked due to its lack of canonization and books the canonized Christian faiths don’t have. Mormonism is definitely pushing it a bit further than just a few extra books. Kinda stress testing the definition.

Imagine I today started an offshoot of Mormonism with yet a fourth book so you would have the old & new testament, book of Mormon, and let’s say the book of Zebu. Some Mormons may denounce it similar to the way canonized Christian faiths denounce Mormonism.

As a programmer I can assure you there were plenty of bugs before AI and not all bugs now are AI caused. That said yeah we’re in the awkward teen years of AI. From 2015 to 2020 was like the baby years and people going “omg that’s amazing” and right now we’re in the “I hate everything and everyone” phase and it will emerge into either “omg the world is ending” or “this is utopia” or “alright thing is damn useful for good and bad endeavours”.

Cool website, I’m more of an iot or embedded hardware guy. One day I’ll sit down and learn about networking.

If you’re outside the US it’s next month.

When he said drain the swamp he meant out of the jails not into them.

I can’t wait until the point where it’s a full week of continuous peace and wellbeing we are sending one another. It will take a lot of healing and forgiveness to get there but I believe humanity is strong and brave enough to manage one day.

It’s kinda stolen from characters like Thich Nhat Hanh, Ram Dass, and Pema Chodron who themselves found it from yet someone else and so on. I’m giving your video a watch and here’s one in return

Lol go check my video posts, there’s a good one on how to start a cult. Funny enough it’s kind of a thin line sometimes between cult and culture… just a collection of stories people maintain and inoculate their children with.
