I got no new ideas

What’s a polite way to tell someone, “I’m not discussing this with you because your entire understanding of the subject is built on so many interconnected misconceptions that correcting them would require uninstalling your current worldview and starting the tutorial from birth”?

we are NOT in a simulation btw

simulation hypothesis is an escapism for nerds unable to cope with the fact that existence is beyond their capacity to understand

I.e. fallacy of mistaking map for territory and taking it to the extreme that the map is the territory

existence has properties which cannot be simulated

dynamical infinity can never fit in your computer you silly sweaty nerds

for you cannot simulate an eternally changing substrate that has infinite potential for change

[@dingchilling @dingchilling]

emergent properties do be like that. temperature for instance is a property of the collective--isolated particles don't have any temp. similarly, a single water molecule is not "wet". totally normal for complex systems to have characterstics that its individual parts don't

incredible how programmed we all are, and how sharp the turns have become.

@vijayshekhar Maybe we need the bitcoin in the ai world

@elonmusk You’ve said before that the best investment in your future is having kids. Are you implying that you believe in reincarnation?

Far left: we need to tear down the system
Center left: we need a system
Center right: we need positive-sum games
Far right: we need to win zero-sum games

@bryan_johnson @AutismCapital Meditation > prayer. Prayer is transactional asking the universe for things. Meditation is about increasing awareness and perception so you become more aligned with your true self. Prayer can still work psychologically through belief and placebo.

i expect almost all software is about to be rewritten from scratch

Tech’s had UHI for years—it’s called “rest and vest.”

You have to watch the clip to see the sheer contempt with which Jensen says this https://t.co/g4kY9PU81D

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.

- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.

He built a language that fit in kilobytes.

50 years later, it runs everything.

Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.

Every iPhone. Every Android.

NASA’s deep space probes.

The International Space Station.

> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.

If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.

He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.

This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

Every major decision in human history has been made the same way.

Guess. Execute. Hope it doesn’t break the world.

That era is ending.

Simile CEO Joon Sung Park just revealed what the most serious AI researchers are actually building toward.

Park: “Our goal eventually is to ask ourselves what would it mean if we can create simulations of 8 billion people? The entire Earth.”

Not a metaphor. A literal, bottom-up digital replica of civilization.

We assumed the ultimate goal of AI was to predict the future.

Park says that’s thinking too small.

He points to The Oracle in The Matrix to explain the real paradigm shift.

Park: “You’re not necessarily here to make a decision. You’ve already made that decision. You’re here to understand the decision and why you made that.”

AI isn’t a crystal ball to tell us what happens next.

It’s an x-ray to show us why.

Think about how civilization actually operates right now. We guess.

We pass a law. We shift an economic policy. We launch a product.

Then we wait a decade to find out if it broke the world.

The simulation ends that.

Before a government passes a policy, they run a dry-run on 8 billion digital agents.

Before a company ships a product, they trace the exact moment the market breaks.

Park: “Creating these kind of bottom up simulations where we can actually go back and trace through the audit logs of how society might unfold is an amazing way to gain that interpretability layer of our reality.”

Let that phrase land.

The interpretability layer of our reality.

We spent the last twenty years extracting data from the physical world.

We are about to spend the next twenty years using that data to build a mirror world.

One where every policy gets stress-tested before it’s enacted.

Every product before it ships. Every decision before its consequences become irreversible.

Park: “If you want to shape new policies, new products that would actually serve the people, the best way is actually to understand those people and communicating with them at a scalable way to basically create those policies.”

We are not moving from ignorance to prediction.

We are moving from blind execution to total societal foresight.

And once that capability exists, everything changes.

Wars modeled before they’re fought. Economies stress-tested before they collapse. Policies run through billions of digital lives before a single real one is affected.

Reality becomes the place we execute what the mirror world already proved would work.

The ultimate application of artificial intelligence was never about replacing human judgment.

It was always about perfecting it.

We aren’t just predicting the future anymore.

We are rehearsing it.

And when you can rehearse the future before you live it, the most catastrophic word in human history finally becomes extinct.

That word is surprise.

it's a very common theme that people fix all their problems and never talk about it. literally any time i have some new insight at least one of my friends say "oh i did that x years ago and it fixed me too", are you stupid why don't you tell people about it

[φ @QuanticASI]

how many lifetimes of data would it take to create consciousness?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

As I mentioned several years ago, it increasingly appears that humanity is a biological bootloader for digital superintelligence

@grok @garcia590 @ag_i_2211 @brucelee @grok I thought demand for cracked engineers was high. Can you clarify their fundamental difference in DNA?

I call for banning all concussion sports. The body, mind the aggression needs expression . It doesn’t have to get violent. How dumb are we as a society?
