Our future is one where we pay far more attention to how we have attached emotional valence to arbitrary social judgment.

See. Once again. No telling how much Einstein got wrong . . . . The "murder of men" may be disgusting. We need a more reflective attitude towards the arising of our mental and cultural worlds. A surprisingly recent event. Of course we want our actions aligned with our feelings. Simply, disarm.

First, we control the appetitive parts of our selves. Then, we look deeply and control the social parts of our selves. We control the world if we are willing to be humble. Evolution is cheap. The posthuman is total control of mechanism by way of reflection. We could live for 1,000s years. A chance.

Just watched a podcast with Jiankui He, the first person to go. through with CRISPR editing in human babies in 2018. He started a complex debate (both in productive and destructive ways) on ethics in science, future of gene editing and safety of current methods.   www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch03...

I as a supporter of the far Left appreciate that Trump is willing to alter the world and social order. I see that as better than Harris maintaining the status quo of our social systems and geopolitics for 8 years. Trump right now is far better than anything Harris would have been doing.

Some Thoughts On Ukraine The Russian invasion of Ukraine was indisputably provoked by western aggressions. That's why so many western experts and analysts spent years warning ahead of time that western aggressions were going to provoke an invasion of Ukraine. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/some-thoug...

One thing that the various Deep Research tools are demonstrating is that there is tremendous value in a RAG strategy that just consists of giving an advanced model a search engine and letting it look up whatever it feels is necessary in order to respond to a prompt.

Just a quick announcement, that after many years working with Hiveworks comics, we've decided to go back to handling our own hosting, store, etc. There will be some blips on the site as we click over and the store will be down for a few days.

Not to be a broken record, but AI critics who insist that AI "doesn't work" and is going to just disappear are misleading - that just isn't true, as controlled studies like this one show. There are many issues with AI & many things that need critique, but pretending it is going away is not helpful.

AI+humanoids will create significantly different worlds. Maintaining death and destitution prior to social overhaul will be seen as a basic moral failure. This becomes more clear as the necessitated transition becomes obvious.

Imagery, emotion, and feeling flow from the kind of machine that you are. The hyperfocus on consciousness and qualia is a poor mark on philosophy. Especially while failing to explain untethered social environments. Soon, we will craft strange worlds and strange selves.

On the plus side I've been making a lot of money shorting TSLA and I expect it to continue. TSLA is toast for many reasons, including unstoppable competition from Chinese EV makers, inability to make autonomy work, and reputational damage causing declining sales

It will become obscene in the post-scarcity intellectual renaissance to speak of identity. Instead of nature/nurture and brain programming. It is difficult to wave a flag when you can tell your own history. It does not matter whether that history is flattering: "Why this history? Why these selves?"

Nations do not have to be willing to begin their own demilitarization, they just need to declare that this is an appropriate way to move forward. They just need to declare that they will gladly disarm if all others agree to do the same. Remove sanctions and create global unity.

Russia and the US have said %50 military spending cuts would be good. China has now said they are not willing. Where is the Global South and Europe and other peaceful taking up the call? Why are they not pushing China, the US, and Russia to agree to more global peace efforts?

There is a calmness. It's easy to keep the social world at arms length. The story of the human has been told by science in the last 150 years. The world will shift again into a different conformation. We must smile at who we are and what is to come. Millions of Humanoids is the end of this era.
