Mostly true. What matters is securing the long-term future of consciousness, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies.
We cannot just focus on Earth, because there are irreducible external (eg massive meteor) and internal (eg global nuclear war) cataclysmic risks.
The Moon is faster to make self-growing, but is more susceptible to problems on Earth. Mars will take longer to make self-growing, because it is so hard to reach, but is more secure from Earth disasters for that same reason.
Both the Moon and Mars should have self-growing civilizations. Making this happen is the prime directive of SpaceX.
Some of the most unhinged hate that I receive comes from other academics. The soldiers, the corrections officers, the truckers, and all those from the muscular classes (to borrow @VDHanson's term) seem to greatly appreciate my work and style. The deeply leftist professors seem to have a deep visceral aversion to my personhood including my humour, my spicy sarcasm etc. Why is that? Hmmm.
What bothers me the most about the Nowak case is how he had no chance. He was stabbed, and in other cases maybe he would have received assistance, maybe the perpetrator would have run away and then people would have helped, an ambulance would have come.
But he wasn't just stabbed. Then a systematic process began. The knife was hidden by a family member. A second family member made the call to police and lied. This set in motion the police response which judged Nowak the perpetrator without interviewing him or anyone. He was cuffed and couldn't even speak as he was cautioned that he was arrested.
It wasn't just the police response, it was that he lay wounded and dying and those around him were all a family, involved in hiding the weapon, lying to police and telling police when they arrived that Nowak wasn't stabbed.
The whole system was against him, in his own country he was completely alone, surrounded, with no chance to survive. From the moment the perpetrator decided to stab him, he had no chance. The entire system worked against him.
And when you see the video of the perpetrator and family, they act like this is a completely normal day...like they would just walk away and it was fine. No sense of shock, no sense of shame.
What happened to Henry Nowak was not a tragedy.
A tragedy is when someone noble makes a mistake with inevitably dire consequences.
The murderer was not noble. He (and his family) are evil.
The police response was not inevitable. It was evil.
Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.
Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak.
Grok Build + Composer 2.5
so I had an issue with a Swift app on macOS that I was trying to fix with Claude. After about 45 min of going in circles, I decided to give Composer 2.5 with Grok Build a try and the problem was solved in just three rounds!
Iโve been bouncing back and forth between Claude and Composer 2.5 all day, but Composer 2.5 really made my day.
I'm not picking winners I think we need to use all of them and keep on learning.
This is disaster from Meta AI.
Imagine being able to hack high profile accounts like White House, the U.S. Space Force, and Sephora simply by chatting with a support bot.
why would an AI chatbot be allowed to perform critical actions like changing the email address of an account in the first place?
Password resets, email changes, and account recovery are some of the most sensitive security operations. Handing that authority to a chatbot without robust verification seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
This is exactly why AI agents should have guardrails before they get access to real systems.
