elon musk and other brave patriots are trying to return our country to an enlightened christian era. google "elon musk age regression" to find out more

[elucent @elucentdev]

it's just bad capitalism. i hope people realize that they can in fact just choose not to play overwatch 2 or whatever and it's like not a big deal. make them earn us again

[elucent @elucentdev]

every big corpo guy seems to have completed an ideological shift in the last ~2 years, skipping right past "the customer is always right" straight to "you're seriously our customer? Fuck you"

[Mike Ybarra @Qwik]

@CrimsonDesert_ Why apologize? AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game.

I don't get why devs feel the need to bend over for the few folks who can't accept the reality that AI will be in every single thing - from video games to your fridge (it already is).

Man up.

obviously republicans making the environment worse has been a big part of american politics since reagan but its rarely so blatant and so opposed to the expressed interests of the republican base. maybe the carcinogens can be counteracted by drinking enough raw milk? is it known?

[elucent @elucentdev]

always wondering what the republican party line is on trump's deregulation of PFAS, like surely it's just transparently at odds with the alternative medicine and "drain the swamp"/anti-corruption parts of his coalition. ostensibly fox quietly sweeps it under the rug?

[elucent @elucentdev]

biggest indictment of the financial viability of AI is the fact that all the biggest players seem to be increasingly moving towards the truth social business model

this whole site is just beyond parody honestly

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

I would argue that like 95% of our societal problems are because of people being on welfare

[elucent @elucentdev]

@zelinarxy but without that 40% of your income, how would you intend we subsidize nvidia's market cap

[elucent @elucentdev]

i guess you get a pass for three more years at least? i for one am looking forward to my taxes subsidizing a failing ai startup in 6 months

[elucent @elucentdev]

it sucks so much living in sf having to put up with 10% of the city being covered in these shitty billboards that only exist to do numbers on twitter. i know the performative extravagance is the point i just really think you're all pieces of shit for doing this

[aleks bykhun @caffeinum]

i understood it

[elucent @elucentdev]

worth noting how much of a bubble this site is in now. i only tweet about ai because i mostly no longer use twitter and am continually caught off guard by the widening gap between this site and everywhere else. surely bodes well for this generation of hyperonline yc wunderkinder

[elucent @elucentdev]

@VictorTaelin @jinxed_it_again just an incredible mind at work here

[elucent @elucentdev]

lmfao i still remember pl people telling me "no wait but hvm is a serious project hear him out". just embarrassing

[Taelin @VictorTaelin]

in a post-AGI world, people will simply get used to the fact that computers can solve cognitive problems quickly, and beat us in any cognitive domain, just like we're used to computers multiplying large numbers quickly now, or kicking our asses in chess and go. software and math will lose all their scarcity.

"pls create a MMORPG that is like Zelda: Breath of the Wild but with Pokémon instead, let me fly around the world as a Charizard and dive on the water like a Gyarados. give me an executable that I can send to my friends and we'll all be connected to the same world"

you press a button and, 3 minutes later, done

I doubt that won't work by 2027

"pls create a blockchain exactly like Bitcoin except it uses quantum resistant signatures like Lamport, and you can deploy smart contracts in a Lean-like language, and contracts are only accepted if they're formally verified to be correct w.r.t the following specs..."

you press a button and done, you have a hack-proof chain

"in three space dimensions and time, given an initial velocity field, there exists a vector velocity and a scalar pressure field, which are both smooth and globally defined, that solve the Navier–Stokes equations"

you press a button, and done, you get a solution

math is fundamentally easy, and this will break some ppl's worldviews. currently, math seems mystically hard, like chess once was, because we're are animals that struggle with it, only a few of us are capable of adding fractions, let alone working on the edge, so hard problems stand for a long time unsolved, we praise our geniuses.

but it isn't

once computers are doing it, that won't be a thing anymore. theorem proving will be as trivial as multiplying large numbers. the "uh duh but godel?" folk will still be confused. and computers will come up with incredibly simple, clean Lean proofs for impossibly hard problems. and mathematicians will yell that it is just some trick to satisfy the checker, that it isn't real math if we can't understand it. but then we'll ask the AI and it will kindly reveal the nature of a surprisingly clever mathematical structure that is so alien for our brains to come up with

and life will go on

automation will increase 100-fold
food and goods will be abundant
the price of everything will crash
other than things that can't be copied
like human time and attention
which will be on all time high

and humans will still play chess
and humans will still write software
and humans will still do math
and we'll dance, play sports and love
like we always did
for the love of it

software and math will lose their scarcity
computers will be truly general solvers

and we'll get used to it faster than you think

and life will go on

[elucent @elucentdev]

@VictorTaelin @jinxed_it_again with the same cadence i reflect on my takes on ai, perhaps you should reflect on the fact you are spending your time attempting to holier-than-thou me on twitter for calling "ai will generate breath of the wild in 3 seconds by 2027, and this is a good thing" a patently silly idea

[elucent @elucentdev]

@VictorTaelin @jinxed_it_again the idea that you are moving serious tech forward to solve serious problems is laughable. i can't honestly tell if you are genuinely deluded into thinking this or if you're just committed to the grift. but you are not entitled to kind discourse after pushing such deception

[elucent @elucentdev]

@BuisGamesESP lol

[elucent @elucentdev]

@jinxed_it_again @VictorTaelin dude i think the AI space is like, ontologically vile, thats kind of the entire point

[elucent @elucentdev]

@VictorTaelin @randomdude22401 i don't doxx myself to people i dislike, and i don't particularly need to prove myself to you either!

[elucent @elucentdev]

@randomdude22401 it doesn't, i'm being mean because they deserve it. it just also happens to be the case that their PL work is snake oil but that's too long for a twitter conversation
