This is the first time in Earth’s history that the path is visible: cure cancer, slash traffic deaths, give anyone high agency no matter their body — and reach the stars — by scaling compute and energy.
Don’t squander it.
#fun fact that happens bc we experience life logarithmically
when you're 5 and turn 6: 1 year is 20% of your experienced lifetime, u perceive it as a long time. when you're 25, a year is 4%. for a 50 year old a year is only 2%
the more you accumulate time the “faster” it flies
@straykidmenace@VladTheInflator You’re crying about something that happened centuries ago 💀 nigga just shut the fuck up and be depressed about something else
friendly reminder that there is 0 proof anyone else is conscious and the odds are you're in a single player dream and we're all acting in your Truman Show
while all of AI twitter is arguing about Fable 5.1 vs GPT-6 Astra, 95% of people out in public don't know either one exists.
The gap is wild.
Explaining doesn't work. Showing them AI built games doesn't work.
Software developers are blown away because AI can do our job better and faster.
- when robots build an entire house in 24 hours, the construction worker will get it.
- when robots cook the food perfect every time, the chefs will understand.
- when robots run into a burning building and save a family, the firefighters will understand too.
people don't get it yet because they can't see what is coming as clearly as we can.
we have been impacted, and what we see has far exceeded our expectations.

I don’t think people understand how over it might be for most of humanity. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but honestly, it is pretty scary. When I look back at diffusion models, sure, they were AI, but they were AI in the sense that you trained a specific tool for a specific purpose. An axe is great at chopping wood, but put it against a spear or a bow and it’s probably going to lose because that was never what it was built for.
But once you have an AI that can learn to use a wide range of tools with minimal additional training, that changes everything. At that point, even specialized systems like diffusion models start to look obsolete as standalone tools. The axe isn’t just becoming a better axe anymore. It’s turning into a Swiss Army knife that can pick up entirely new tools as needed.
