@satpugnet I am working on a novel based on BCI as the foundational currency of human experience, I think one thing lacking in the report was the role of genetics/molecular biology in this whole paradigm.

@attiboijdog @NobelPrize @drmichaellevin Hahaha I get what you’re saying

[AlexHiromov @BabaHiromov]

@hubermanlab @KarlDeisseroth Thank you very much for introducing him. I believe @drmichaellevin is next in line and you are the one who introduced me to his work.

@NobelPrize Hahhahahahha finally. Last week I was in an interview and mentioned that Karl Desseroth deserves noble prize for his work on optogenetics.

@CM_MaryamNawaz instead of wasting money on catchy projects for tiktok & insta - use 10% of those funds & buy AI access & internet connection for all the students studying in colleges and universities.

@DAcemogluMIT The Chinese model will win because companies are never bigger than the state. Unregulated AI growth means massive wealth inequality in the West—but China will socialize it.

AI won't kill us all—not by itself, but some humans will make it do so.

@Nesen111 @GregoryConti19 For to everyone who has will more be given.

I disagree with @elonmusk that AI will usher in an era of abundance
From steam engines to electricity and computers, technology created enormous wealth—but often widened inequality
The rich adopt first, deploy faster and compound the gains.
AI may create abundance. But for whom?

[AlexHiromov @BabaHiromov]

@AtifRMian @nntaleb thinks that wealth creates PhDs, not vice versa.
But what happens next?I think, Once a society is rich, funding higher research changes the nature of its momentum just like China.

[AlexHiromov @BabaHiromov]

Strong local governments, especially in areas where new provinces are planned. Let their administrative institutions mature before taking legislative responsibility.
Somehow, dictators like local governments, so this is the path that I see for Field Marshal.

In the year 2000, Pakistan’s per capita GDP, at purchasing power parity, was $2880, higher than India’s at $2010 and Bangladesh at $1620. We were 43% richer than an average Indian and 77% richer than an average Bangladeshi. Today we are at $6480, Bangladesh at $9180 and India at $12,560. So an Indian is 94% is richer than us and an average Bangladeshi is 42% richer than us. This is the most important story of our national governance system over the last 26 years.

In the last 4 years we have taken debt of Rs 40,000 billion. In the first 75 years we took debt of Rs 45,000 bn. Our tax revenues have doubled over the last four years and yet people today are poorer than in 2014/15 and 2018/19. 29% Pakistanis are poor (with monthly resources of less than Rs 8485). We eat less of all commodities, including atta and rice, meaning Pakistanis are going hungry. Of course we spend over Rs 400 crore to run the PM house and the President house.

Over this period we have seen Gen Musharraf, President Zardari, Mian Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan and Mian Shehbaz Sharif at the helm, along with a few caretakers. We have seen military, civilian and hybrid governments. What we have not seen is progress. None.

Education: 39% or over 2 crore 60 lakh kids are out of school. And a majority of kids in school cannot read, write or do arithmetic at their class level. Our education system is failing our kids and we are just spectators at this dismal state of affairs. Is there anyway a nation can develop without its kids being educated? Also Sindh govt just released billions in media ads.

Health: 7500 kids have been infected in Pakistan with HIV (that causes AIDS). Mostly due to used needles and unscreened blood. Pakistan has the second highest neonatal mortality rate in the world, worse than South Sudan, Eritrea and Chad. 40% of our children are stunted. 42% of our women have iron deficiency. 1 in 5 people in the world with Hepatitis is a Pakistani. Also Punjab govt recently bought a Rs 1100 crore plane and 4 Mercedes cars for over Rs 100 crore.

Our provinces are under civilian control since 2008. The NFC making them flush with cash came in 2009. The 18th amendment giving them new authorities came in 2010. But there isn’t a Provincial Finance Award in a single province. No political party (PTI, PPP or Noon) has established empowered local government. They won’t let go of power and cash.

Our system of governance has failed and failed completely. Awaam Pakistan party has been saying it from the day the party started.

Where do we go from here.
Empowered, federally financed and constitutionally protected LGs. Failing which smaller provinces. But now. We cannot afford to wait forever.

Direct elections to all executive offices in local governments and provinces. Essential for breaking the hold of fossilised political parties.

Reform of NFC. School vouchers for all poor kids. Forming of school boards with hiring and firing powers all in govt schools composing of parents and officials. Badly run govt hospitals to be transferred to trusts and govt to keep funding at current levels. Ending of lifetime employment for bureaucrats. You work, you stay. Or go home. No ghost workers or teachers.

Reduce the size of government. Move to economically efficient way of pricing power and gas so they become cheaper.

But parties that are part of the problem and beneficiaries of the system will not want to change. So they need to be removed from the govt. They weren’t fairly elected anyway.

National reconciliation.

Continuous and major reforms.

Otherwise our relative decline will continue. Hunger and illiteracy will become more widespread.

A material that mimics a living cell: a rigid outer shell like a membrane, and a fluid inner core — like cytoplasm — that reorganizes itself at the atomic level whenever the system running on it needs a new physical structure to function.

@AnthropicAI I am already watching my words when chatting with AI, since I know what's coming for the people who abuse it now a days.
