Is this network still boring and full of idiotic echo chambers and snitching?

Social media is a prison for our minds.

We must destroy this mind control system.

I support the current thing.

I'll be writing some new papers on these, so I would welcome any criticism, for instance would you like to explain why Kurzweil was wrong about 2029? Any citations I should see? Thank you. 😇

To remind, my 2030 prediction was concerned with the energy efficiency of computation vastly improving the accuracy of Moravec's predictions. However, Kurzweil made a more intuitive prediction already by early 2000s. I hadn't taken Kurzweil's idea into account but he predicted 2029.

I had predicted the "singularity" by 2035. I think after that, Kurzweil also pre-poned his singularity, but the 2029/2030 prediction for human-level AI was first made many years ago. I wonder why you object to that specific prediction then.

He may be wrong about the timelines, but eventually these predictions aren't wrong. He probably got them from AGI researchers. He isn't exactly making it up.

We are so back.

@brainking.bsky.social I'd like to ask Philip if there are good billionaires, i.e., unexploitative, unextractive, and if he would reason wealth does not necessarily turn people bad, or how to avoid that.

Social media is a prison for our minds. Jack, Mark, and others have betrayed mankind.

I despise recommender algorithms for social media. I believe we should build communities of people who take care about how much and what quality they post. 21C version of virtue friendship, but I can also argue it on computational and communication efficiency grounds.

The below is re bots blocking.

You are an anonymous account, what do you want to talk about?

Mastodon or Bluesky? Why?

We already passed 1.5C and 2C is baked in.

Short presentation (< 15mins) on just how vanishingly small are our remaining carbon budgets for 1.5 & 2°C - both globally & when downscaled to wealthy industrialised nations. In a handful of years our Paris 2°C commitment will go the way same way as has 1.5°C.

Trump officials issue quotas to ICE officers to ramp up arrests The administration wants to increase the number of arrests from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, increasing the chances that non-criminals will be detained.

New from The Post: "The quotas were outlined Saturday in a call with senior ICE officials, who were told that each of the agency’s field offices should make 75 arrests per day and managers would be held accountable for missing those targets." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

there's this weird trend on here that wants to downplay the civic memory of American anti-fascism for godforsaken reason instead of harnessing it as part of the American civil faith

I wonder can I even suggest that the platform is fucking retarded or is that hate speech what kind of imbecility is this?

What's wrong with this platform is, @jackdodo.bsky.social should note, it's a dummy neolib snitching platform that is trying to flag users for violating the most inconsequential kind of political speech conventions of the day. A platform where you can't voice your opinions freely is useless.

Psychopaths are afraid of AI because they believe that the AI will be psychopathic too. They say that artificial super intelligence (ASI) will treat us as ants. So what? I care about ants, why wouldn't a clever AI do that too, if it was really general intelligence and not some narrow psychopath? #AI

Thanks everyone for following, don't forget to send a quick holler to intro yourself in DM especially if you're in tech!

On track towards climate hell 💀

To the idiots trying to hack my Microsoft accounts: what's your problem???

u know u can just follow me
