Questions to the singularity apocalypsists: why aren't we (Human Intelligence) becoming runaway? Why can't we start to improve our IQ in an exponentially accelerating way? If runaway AI is inevitable, why haven't evolution already created it?

I came across a blog about perfumes that has been inactive since 2017. The very last note reads like a tragic short story.

Austrians and Hungarians have sort of a high elf/dark elf thing going on

Turn-of-the century literature from Hungary is vastly richer than its Italian counterpart, especially considering differences in population size, levels of urbanisation, and depth of prior literary tradition. This is a hill I'm willing to die on.

Recent finding in Conway's game of life: it contains a finite ancient configuration.

I might be wrong, and there might be some magical agent above us that can bend the path of bullets to spare the innocent. But if not, then humans alone are liable for the aftermath of their actions, and we must all act accordingly.

What is so strange to me about this conflict is how most commentators seem to imply some divine right to do X, Y, or Z actions regardless of their consequences. What does the word 'can' mean in the quoted tweet?

And let me get one more thing straight.

Ukraine can put any amount of soldiers anywhere we want in our country.

We can have a company in a post office.

We can put an entire battalion in a fucking theatre.

IT DOES NOT GIVE RUSSIA RIGHTS TO STRIKE OUR SOVEREIGN TERRITORY.
