Money will become useless in a decade.
You will spend it all on tokens.
Tokens to buy services and goods.
You will have so many tokens you won’t know what to do with them.
You better have good taste.
All software will become bespoke and ephemeral.
If you are in the business of selling software - get out.
The next frontier is moving atoms around.
Make your moves anon. Make your moves.
How about
“Your kids will live in a fairer, more exciting and more abundant future”
Either than or concede that in the first time in 4.5bn years of evolution we have peaked?
Makes no sense.
@ESYudkowsky, co-author of “If Anybody Builds It, Everyone Dies,” at the Slushy-Day AI protests in SF.
“If we do not shut this down, you will die, your families will die, your kids will die.”
It’s the canary in the coal mine.
The math wall being broken down is a sign that the physics, materials science, biology and cryptography walls are next to break.
Get ready
Sunfish lay 300million+ eggs in a session.
They spend the rest of their lives being alone and eaten.
They never pair, socialise or even mate.
Truly the species most at-peace about their fate and optimise around the numbers 😅
Everyone seems terrified of crossing the rubicon
Because at some point we will ultimately concede to ASI (AI allocating >50% of our resources)
Personally I am here for it. Next 10 years will be wild.
It continually amazes me that somehow primitive tool use, grammatical language, cooked food and social hierarchy was enough to create the wetware potential in our brains enough to where we are today.
Or did our brains explode in capability in the last 2000 years, and then another order of magnitude again 200 years ago.
For the better part of 20,000 centuries of human history, not much happened. We spent about 19,960 of those making slightly different variations of one tool before figuring out the metal thing
And stuff only really took off 2 centuries ago. That we can sort of keep up is amazing
I’ve always maintained that AI will take over our governance like a frog boils in water.
This is direct proof.
This legislator is directly quoting a LLM and nobody knows or cares 🤣
“Even traveling at the speed of light, a deadly computer virus or AI attack can potentially be stopped due to Mars being ~4 to ~20 light-minutes from Earth.”
But how will Mars get the heads up about the attack if the information about it is also limited at the speed of light?
Peter is not correct about me in this case.
I have always known that dangers from Earth will also pose dangers to Mars. Obviously so. However, the immense difficulty of traveling to Mars means that there is a much higher likelihood of mitigating risks originating from Earth.
A clear example of major risk reduction would be a deadly pandemic. Since it takes 6 months to reach Mars, there is an automatic 6 month quarantine!
Even traveling at the speed of light, a deadly computer virus or AI attack can potentially be stopped due to Mars being ~4 to ~20 light-minutes from Earth.
This doesn’t mean that a Mars civilization eliminates all risk, but it absolutely greatly reduces the risk of consciousness being extinguished.
Moreover, Mars is a stepping stone to extending consciousness broadly within our solar system and ultimately to millions of stars within our galaxy, which would extend the probable lifespan of consciousness as we know it by many orders of magnitude.
That said, what I personally find most motivating is not the risk reduction aspect of extending life beyond Earth, but rather the inspiring nature of exploration and being out there among the stars!
Perhaps we will meet aliens or find the remains of long-dead civilizations that lasted millions of years …
$ / intelligence / token is the only metric that matters.
The winner will be the one who can deploy the most compute. Simple as that.
As soon as starship reaches orbital and recovers - the game has been won.
New Pareto Frontier: Grok 4.5, SWE-1.7 and Opus 5.
Intelligence per $ will be the only metric that matters over time.
K3 probably joins the frontier once available on the inference clouds.
This is still retarded to me and no matter how many times Elon says it it still makes no sense.
AI companies will instead give a free tier of tokens to people for goods and services.
Exactly how it is today already.
What you do with those tokens is up to you. There will be no money.
🚨 Elon Musk on how people will receive money in an AI-powered future:
“I think the Treasury should simply issue people checks. A lot of what we’re trying to think about involves things that were relevant in the past but will not be relevant in the future. Inflation is simply the ratio of money to the rate of goods and services. So if the output of goods and services increases dramatically, if it increases by 1,000%, you can increase the money supply. You can literally print money, or change the database and create money in the database. Provided the creation of that money is less than the rate at which goods and services increase, you actually have deflation. So I’ll make a prediction, which is that deflation will be the issue, not inflation, because if the output of goods and services increases faster than the money supply, you will have deflation.”
Righto so clearly you can just prompt your way thru breakthroughs these days.
I want you all to spend your Friday evening seeing if you can get SOL/Fable to find a proof for smooth 3D navier stokes.
SOL reckons it is “65% likely to be found”
Good luck lmk if u do
