@primordial_code @r0ck3t23 So is this the target? https://t.co/Nc8BGJx28d

[Mark Dranias @DraniasMark]

@r0ck3t23 No. General Intelligence is not Einstein Or everything the brain does for us as animals. General Intelligence is what is being hidden and renamed https://t.co/Nc8BGJx28d

Autonomous AI only creates abundance if it produces human goods.

Increasing autonomy ≠ increasing alignment.
Economically, misalignment = inefficiency.
So the real question:
replace humans with tokens—or design human+AI systems?

Is personhood the same as mirroring personhood?

[Mark Dranias @DraniasMark]

The reason Claude has a personality is because ‘I’ is a predictable theme in its chat and literature datasets and it’s use is reinforced by human ranked responses

@AlexFinn Lying. Getting a Twilio number requires ID and a lot more. You clearly have twilio account with a phone number and gave it the API and then posted your surprise at it using it

@RichardSSutton I would summarize what you are claiming by saying LLMs are Wittgenstein machines (language divorced from reality)

Hmm.. Microsofts terms of service apply to natural persons:
"5. For the assessment of criminality risk of natural persons based solely on the profiling of a natural person or on assessing their personality traits and characteristics...."

Doing business as a limited liability corporation or similar limited liability entity is a privilege not a right— it’s a government service. A libertarian government should raise most its money by fees and taxes on these entities.

@useMotion what do you do to automate your calendar? Do you use google or outlook? Do you have a custom solution that integrates with useMotion?

[Mark Dranias @DraniasMark]

@useMotion It would be super cool if Motion had an AI worker that could do speech to text and make events on the calendar. Right now they can only read the calendar

@bryan_johnson @WesEklund Ok it happened twice so I have to mention your sauna is not 200F

@walterkirn Here’s my creative answer: we need to design an electric organ that does carbon fixation and generates pyruvate which can then be dumped in our bloodstream. Humans operate at 100-400Watts which is way more efficient than GPT it’s just our energy source is chemical not electrical.

[Mark Dranias @DraniasMark]

We need a pyruvate generating electric organ https://t.co/qgKoYl24WL

Humans are inherently more efficient than robots except that our energy system is chemical not electrical. We need to work on genetics that allow us to use electrical energy

[Mark Dranias @DraniasMark]

A human is a 100Watt machine burning $25/day in chemical energy. A humanoid robot is a 1000Watt machine burning $5/day in electrical energy. We can tax that gap to prevent public utilities from generating social costs.

So far the singularity means we will be expected to get even more work done in even less time.
