Current AI is a 95 IQ guy who knows everything humans know and is a thousand times faster than you.

Whether AI gets very scary very quickly from here on out depends on two things:

1. How much more useful knowledge is there left to discover, and how fast can it be discovered?

2. How many more useful patterns would a 200 IQ guy who knows everything humans know be able to extract from that knowledge?

Moving from votes to "ballots" resembles in some ways moving from the gold standard to fiat currency. The ballot becomes more of an object in itself than a receipt for an underlying thing that's intrinsically valuable. A free-floating abstraction in an increasingly abstract game.

The market value of the Star Wars franchise is so low now that George Lucas should buy it back at a profit and say that all of the Disney movies are no longer canon.

Nobody actually buys new Aeron chairs in SF.

Every Aeron chair was created in a one-time Big Bang event during the first dotcom boom in 1999, and has been passed along from failed to new startup in an uninterrupted 30 year chain.

It’s the Law of Conservation of Aeron.

It’s upsetting to watch so many people be led to believe a software feature created from human exhaust is an alien intelligence.

It’s a psyop. LLMs are a clever way to compress and search large databases with patterns. They have now inhaled effectively all of human knowledge. From this point, there will be spikes of improvement in narrow areas, but the big models are already collapsing from inhaling their own exhaust.

The core technology is at least 40 years old. Neural networks are nothing new. We’re just attaching obscene amounts of computing and data to them.

The physical nature of an LLM is literally just a database of tokens (word parts) and weights (relationships) that can be queried. It is not magic. It can be made deterministic by setting the entropy aka temperature to zero. It is a clever way to store an immense amount of data and retrieve it through token predicting.

“Agents” are just LLMs being queried in a loop. They take exponentially more energy and suffer the same problems as chatbots—hallucinations and sycophancy—but exponentially more complicated to solve.

In reality, it’s all a category error. It’s a mirage created by the desire of a small group of elites to build a technological and financial moat around themselves. “AGI” is the McGuffin, the plot device, to serve as the messiah that will deliver people from the toils of everyday life.

The broligarchs are trying to sell us our own replacements. According to them, we won’t have to drive, or work, or think anymore. The robots and AI will all do it for us.

It’s the oldest con there is: magic beans.

Your chatbot is not your Jesus or your girlfriend. Your Claude instance is not intelligent. It’s a search engine for human knowledge stolen from the internet and the destruction of physical books.

So please understand. You are witnessing the biggest financial bubble in all of human history based on deceptive marketing, astroturfing, and cult dynamics. You are not witnessing the birth of a new intelligence. Unfortunately, that’s a battle we’re losing.

AI resembles a Concorde flight sold at Ryanair ticket prices with Hooters cabin crew serving Panzerschokolade.

Its addictive user experience overbooks each flight, but the fuel burn alone overwhelms revenue per seat before you pay for the aircraft. Yet, every tech billionaire wants his own hypersonic airline - right now!

Let’s enjoy it while it lasts.

@cdrsalamander @westmarine They should have had smaller stores at every harbor with berths or commercial boats. I live a half mile from a harbor full of fishing boats that need parts and the closest store is a 30 minute drive inland.

California gave ONE nonprofit $1 BILLION.

To put solar panels on poor people's roofs.

You know how much solar they actually installed?

$72 million.

That's it.

So where the FUCK is the other $928 MILLION?

I'll tell you exactly where.

The same nonprofit that WROTE the law that gave them the money ALSO got the contract to run "community outreach."

Same guy runs the nonprofit AND the program. Chris Walker. Two paychecks. Look it up.

And their SISTER organization — same building, same staff, same donors — is a 501(c)(4) that endorses Democrat candidates and runs door-knocking operations in the EXACT SAME NEIGHBORHOODS.

Connect the dots, idiot.

You pay $7.50 a gallon for gas.

Cap-and-trade takes a cut at the pump.

That money flows to "climate justice nonprofits."

Those nonprofits funnel it into Democrat get-out-the-vote machines.

You. Are. Funding. The. People. Who. Are. Robbing. You.

Every time you fill up your fucking tank, you're paying for a Democrat campaign volunteer to knock on a stranger's door and tell them how amazing Gavin Newsom is.

$928 MILLION.

GONE.

And not one journalist in this state asked a single question until @jennyraeca and CAL DOGE pulled the receipts.

You think this is the only one?

There's a hundred more like it.

This is how California works now.

This is how a "blue state" stays blue when only 48% of the voters are Democrats.

Wake the fuck up.
