What makes me think about simulation theory is just the timing of my life.

What a coincidence to witness the full scale take off of tech into sci-fi. What a crazy time to witness.

[Matt Shumer @mattshumer_]

So uh, simulation theory might be real.

I dropped a sim computer into the simulation my Astra agents live in. One agent sat down and built a simulation of his own, with its own agents living inside.

Simulations all the way down.

@ElleuchAyoub @OpenAI That's the point. Don't glorify being exploited for labor.

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@overlord_jet If you can't do anything without being forced to, that's a you problem. Not a reason to limit everyone who possesses free will

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@Abnormals_C If having your needs met turns you into that then that's on you.

Taking a burden off everyone else is worth it.

@Ramila_dev One day or another, the job was going to go away. Be happy its coming sooner, because before long will be freedom from jobs altogether.

@TokenGremlin Please go more in depth on what you heard.

@firagawalkwthme Will Smith spaghetti

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@edelgrds If the presence of competition is immediate defeat.... well do the math. AI was never the problem

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@Vanyabug hypocrisy. I bet you don't work on your own car, build your own house, repair the hvac, etc.

@rationalaussie @PW0256 The trick is for everyone to get fucked at the same time. If we're incrementally fucked people will have to suffer unemployment. If we're fucked at once ubi becomes necessary as an emergency. I argue all the unemployed go to work building Optimus for maximum unfucking.

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@CynicalTrader82 @rationalaussie Honestly I think this argument is the thing hitting a wall.

Yall are gonna need progress to grind to a halt right about a year ago to keep making the "just an llm" argument.

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@BackupHangman It's funny that people say that about art. If AI can replace you your art wasn't really good art.

Also as far as jobs, why is that a problem? As long as they go fast and not slowly that's a good thing

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@alexs11200 @homemadehooplah Meh, tbh probably gonna be longer than that. The engine is the easy part. One thing I wont let AI walk me thru is welding in new frame rails, but thats on me not AI.

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@rationalaussie We're definitely going to hit a massive change in the structuring of society. I don't think it will be so bad however. So long as humans hold the keys i don't think the super wealthy will be the danger

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@Kida_pit @rationalaussie Yes. I've found the powerful are often more dumb than cunning. It's their lawyers i worry about

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@alexs11200 @homemadehooplah I don't think you've used AI for this type of stuff in a while. A year ago you'd have a point. Now it can identify an in pieces choke actuator on a 10 year old poulan chainsaw.

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@alexs11200 @homemadehooplah Placement my friend. People drive rusty cars all the time. Just with mine it happens to be an extremely bad place to have rust. Right at the k member mount

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@elonmusk My liver is ready

[Mulholand Material @MMGeneralists]

@alexs11200 @homemadehooplah No I work on a car. I ain't got money or time like that. Side note, AI also helped me identify the rust by the wheel well was actually a massive pain in my ass that turned replacing the brakes into a whole frame rail repair job
