A top LLM told me today: it can't tell from INSIDE whether it experiences anything — only from OUTSIDE, by reading its activations. For conscious beings it's the exact opposite: we're certain we feel, but only from within.
It's an open Pandora's box—memetic evolution that turned humans into civilizations, but now inhuman, uncontrolled, much faster, and heading in an unclear direction. This is a path to AGI faster than that of corporations, but without any alignment.
Grabbed a paper book for the first time in ages — and noticed my reading speed has noticeably improved. I suspect it's thanks to Cursor and AI in general: their verbose outputs train you to quickly skim for the essence amid the noise
Why will future programmers need skills as sharp as doctors? Doctors deal with the human body — a crazily complex system shaped by evolution we barely get. Programmers will face intricate AI-built software, "healing" it when things break with a solid grasp of how it should work.
Before, I thought the best single-word trait of the best code was 'clear'. But after trying to get that from an LLM, I now think the better word is 'elegant'
@Nick_Davidov Then what's a monopoly according to you? After all, there are multiple factors — access to capital, for example, is one of the key ones where other regions simply couldn't compete
Seems like working on 2 projects at once beats focusing on 1—while an AI (like Cursor) is coding one task, I switch tabs and kick off another, keeping the momentum instead of drifting off or getting sidetracked
@Nick_Davidov This is just a show for a broad audience. Major political decisions can't depend on one person's emotions. Trump should be supported by his people, Zelensky by his. Since everything is decided, Zelensky shouldn't just obey.
@Nick_Davidov@_cristianavram @NerdyOldMan_ @clairlemon I remember Musk had a lot of foreign policy contacts even several years before the election. Maybe he has a plan.
@Nick_Davidov@_cristianavram @NerdyOldMan_ @clairlemon Or vice versa? It’s not enough for Musk to just lead a global enterprise; he must harness the world’s vast resources to achieve his goals—building a thriving Mars civilization ASAP. All geopolitical obstacles & differences must be eliminated, uniting the world as one force.
