The world will climb a mountain. I am sure of it. AGI and robotics and science will open up many pathways in the world. That will end with greater economic equality. I saw surely 100s of homeless in Springs yesterday.

😳 #PeterThiel can’t stop talking about the Antichrist In a interview with Ross Douthat of the New York Times, Thiel muses about the existence of the Antichrist and offers a novel theory for how to identify this person—a human figure who shall, according to biblical prophecy, rise up to oppose Christ

Greenhorn Mountain. People go up there and build these little wind shelters. The one near the Trailhead on the top plateau is fully enclosed. So somebody needs to fix this GH Peak's hut.

We Are Still Underreacting on AI This is not just a technology issue, it’s a fundamental change to our society—and we remain dangerously underprepared. PETE BUTTIGIEG JUN 24

Center your politics on ubi. Basic Income.

It's entirely clear what Dems need to do if they actually want to win instead of just keep fundraising. Listen to the young people. The old tactics stopped working years ago. Grow up and deal with it. Momdani for NYC. @democrats.org @demsabroaduk.bsky.social

AI training compute is growing 360%/year. This means AI is growing by a factor of 4,249,680 in 10 years!!! And some people still don't believe AGI, ASI and AI-gods are coming very soon 🤦🏽‍♂️

Working on some of my famous realistic dialog

I have complete faith in our species. For our I am confident in our origins of biology and cultural and language progression. We are biomechanic. But language gave us far richer concepts and worldly distinctions. We analogize richly conceptualized imagery in lyrical ways.

Arbitrary social environment=brainmindself We are blank slates FEP Babies as scientist exploring their world Mutable social institutions Illusionism The arbitrariness of social environments was more important than qualia.

Bernie Sanders AI is coming for YOUR job and jobs all across the country. Who will benefit from this revolutionary transformation? Will it be working class Americans or the billionaires who own the technology? That is the economic struggle of our time.

Self Awareness The system itself needs to reflect on how the system was created. It is vital knowledge in the recreation of the next environment that surrounds the progeny. Alter the institutions we put around plastic brains. Self models nest within world models. Expand both.

It's been a couple of years since the 130,000-year-old Nesher Ramla fossils were made public. Existing long before the major dispersal of modern humans from Africa, it isn't easy to classify them either as an early modern or Neanderthal group. www.johnhawks.net/p/nesher-ram...

Luke: Master Yoda, is the dark side more powerful? Yoda: No, not more powerful. Faster, yes. Stronger, yes. Resurrect the dead and time travel, it can. All jedis defeated it has. Kicked my ass it did. Live alone in hiding on swamp planet, I do. [Yoda stares in distance, lost in thought]

A strong democracy in the age of AI needs universal basic income and wealth taxes.

The stasis of our politics comes from the lack of unity from the actual Left.

Example of why I think current LLMs are enough to change lots of work even if they don’t get better, once we start integrating them with other systems GPT-4 (now obsolete) went from 30% accuracy to 87% accuracy in clinical oncology decisions when given access to tools www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Heh apnews.com/article/redd... Nice that Reddit is suing because of ClaudeAI taking content made by users. No doubt if they win, the money will be distributed to the content makers.

I like nice tasting food. Just not enough to go marinating stuff. That's a morel mushroom in the first reply. I was impressed. More mild than I would have thought. More meaty. They can't be this hard to find. Not to mention I don't understand the long time between fruiting?

One globe. Under singularity. For liberty and justice for all.

We are blank slates. The drastic altering of the upcoming world, in all sorts of ways, will drastically alter the kinds of lives we lead. www.reddit.com/r/Artificial...

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

If Barack Obama or Joe Biden had proposed this, the GOP would be in the streets with pitchforks and torches. I guess the new "conservative" position is, "I want the state to know everything about me at all times." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

BREAKING: Texas passed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. We will be suing.

Dr. House has already fired all members of his specialist diagnostic team and replaced them with LLM's. The world will shift. It will be good for the vast majority of people.

Good little explanation of materialism. Eliminativism. Illusionism. Physicalism. From a mildly critical stance. www.tiktok.com/@panpsychist...
