@Gaurab @grok if this is the SOTA in energy use for aluminium smelting, what is the roadmap to reducing energy usage? What active research is being carried out?

[Gregory Epps @_gregx]

Would be good to see the biological premise for this as well - e.g. do geeks on the autism scale build better but articulate/orchestrate less well?

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

It’s not “equality”.

Based on Schumpeter’s Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy Lamont makes in his article the case that capitalism rewards practical doers who create value for consumers, while undervaluing abstract verbal brilliance, breeding resentment.

Socialism elevates them to central planners & directors with status & protection from markets.

TLDR: Capitalism rewards those who do. Socialism elevates those who direct.

Note: this view is echoed by thinkers like Nozick and Sowell.

Nozick argued intellectuals (“wordsmiths”) develop entitlement in school where verbal brilliance earns top status, then resent capitalism for rewarding practical value-creation for consumers over abstract intellect.

Sowell described them as “the anointed” who overestimate their knowledge for grand social engineering, blame capitalism for society’s ills while ignoring trade-offs and dispersed practical wisdom, and promote visions that elevate their role as planners and critics.

@Lurd_voldermort @r0ck3t23 It was written by ChatGPT - the style is unmistakable 🥲

@RokoMijic Who’s watching the watchers?

[Gregory Epps @_gregx]

@DrInsensitive You’re missing the value destruction eg can’t drives without cat, therefore can’t get to work for x days, can’t create job value, or , can’t have electricity without copper, can run x machines, can’t create industrial value etc

@Andercot He’s competing with China (as all of it), who may be behind, but unlike the rest of the West are trying hard on all these fronts

I could definitely resaerch with this - allows for infinite branching rabbit holes...

🚨The White House just launched the Genesis Mission — a Manhattan Project for AI

The Department of Energy will build a national AI platform on top of U.S. supercomputers and federal science data, train scientific foundation models, and run AI agents + robotic labs to automate experiments in biotech, critical materials, nuclear fission/fusion, space, quantum, and semiconductors.

Let’s unpack what this order actually builds, and how it could rewire the AI, energy, and science landscape over the next decade:

@cremieuxrecueil @cremieuxrecueil - wotth reading End Times: @peterturchinx shows the “overproduction of elites” as a consistent signal for collapse based on past data of multiple societal collapses.

@bryan_johnson @SurrealBlend You could probably sell those, on a key ring

It’s a chicken and egg problem, but he has it backwards - you can’t build the world models without the robots

[Humanoids daily @humanoidsdaily]

Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun offers a critical take on the humanoid robot boom.

Speaking at MIT, LeCun claimed the "big secret" of the industry is that current companies "have no idea" how to make their robots "smart enough to be generally useful."

He argues that while humanoids can be trained for narrow manufacturing tasks, a truly autonomous domestic robot is impossible without fundamental AI breakthroughs. For LeCun, this means moving beyond current generative models and toward "world model planning-type architectures"—systems that can learn to understand and predict the physical world.

The future of these billion-dollar startups, he says, depends entirely on this next wave of AI research.

@DannyHabibs Been there, done that. Always looks great when you film it because you’re filming with a monocular camera - try looking at it with your eyes and they focus on the distance and you get double vision. Sorry.
