When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Introducing Base44 Superagents.
AI agents built with managed infrastructure, secured by default, one-click integrations, and 24/7 execution from the start.
Everything is taken care of so you can focus on what your agent does, not how to get it running.
That means no API keys to juggle, no config files, no security setup, and no maintenance. We handle all of it.
Your Superagent connects to all the tools you already use in one click, runs on schedules and triggers, remembers context across sessions, acts proactively on your behalf, and keeps working around the clock.
All from wherever you already are, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or your browser.
The AI agent everyone's been waiting for, with everything you need already built in.
We're excited to get this into your hands, so we're giving free credits to everyone who comments and reposts in the next 24 hours.
@MrinankSharma Thanks for all the work you've done. It's sad to see that now Anthropic too, is infected -- what would you advise for people to do during this slow-motion collapse of society?
@Perpetualmaniac@grok what implications his work and thesis had for the current vision of how things work that was a threat to them? Geomagnetic implications? Global warming? Energy and aether abundance? In layman terms

A new legal letter aimed at OpenAI lays out in stark terms the money and power grab OpenAI is trying to trick its board members into accepting — what one analyst calls "the theft of the millennium."
The simple facts of the case are both devastating and darkly hilarious.
I'll explain for your amusement.
The letter 'Not For Private Gain' is written for the relevant Attorneys General and is signed by 3 Nobel Prize winners among dozens of top ML researchers, legal experts, economists, ex-OpenAI staff and civil society groups. (I'll link below.)
It says that OpenAI's attempt to restructure as a for-profit is simply totally illegal, like you might naively expect.
It then asks the Attorneys General (AGs) to take some extreme measures I've never seen discussed before. Here's how they build up to their radical demands.
For 9 years OpenAI and its founders went on ad nauseam about how non-profit control was essential to:
1. Prevent a few people concentrating immense power
2. Ensure the benefits of artificial general intelligence (AGI) were shared with all humanity
3. Avoid the incentive to risk other people's lives to get even richer
They told us these commitments were legally binding and inescapable. They weren't in it for the money or the power. We could trust them.
"The goal isn't to build AGI, it's to make sure AGI benefits humanity" said OpenAI President Greg Brockman.
And indeed, OpenAI’s charitable purpose, which its board is legally obligated to pursue, is to “ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” rather than advancing “the private gain of any person.”
100s of top researchers chose to work for OpenAI at below-market salaries, in part motivated by this idealism. It was core to OpenAI's recruitment and PR strategy.
Now along comes 2024. That idealism has paid off. OpenAI is one of the world's hottest companies. The money is rolling in.
But now suddenly we're told the setup under which they became one of the fastest-growing startups in history, the setup that was supposedly totally essential and distinguished them from their rivals, and the protections that made it possible for us to trust them, ALL HAVE TO GO ASAP:
1. The non-profit's (and therefore humanity at large’s) right to super-profits, should they make tens of trillions? Gone. (Guess where that money will go now!)
2. The non-profit’s ownership of AGI, and ability to influence how it’s actually used once it’s built? Gone.
3. The non-profit's ability (and legal duty) to object if OpenAI is doing outrageous things that harm humanity? Gone.
4. A commitment to assist another AGI project if necessary to avoid a harmful arms race, or if joining forces would help the US beat China? Gone.
5. Majority board control by people who don't have a huge personal financial stake in OpenAI? Gone.
6. The ability of the courts or Attorneys General to object if they betray their stated charitable purpose of benefitting humanity? Gone, gone, gone!
