Tyranny of the minority

[Derya Unutmaz, MD @DeryaTR_]

Most people, including scientists, mistakenly think of AI as just tools to help them. While many tools are created by AI and used by humans or AI, the intelligence itself is not a tool. Since the launch of the reasoning o1 model from @OpenAI, I’ve seen AI as collaborators instead

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Imagine I handed you 10,000 brilliant employees tonight. What would you do with them tomorrow morning? That's exactly what AI agents are about to give you. Most people have no answer.

“A superintelligence would be a million times smarter than us.”

Roman Yampolskiy, associate professor of computer science at the University of Louisville, warns that once AI surpasses humans at everything, we may no longer understand what it is doing.

The real shift is not smarter tools. It is losing the ability to predict and control the systems shaping our world.

Open intelligence only matters if humans remain in the loop.

🚨 NEW: Graduate jobs have dropped by almost 50% in just a year as employers replace entry-level roles with AI

[Samrah @_Chemist1]

People with high standards are harder to impress. They have absolutely NO desire to be seen, validated, or understood. They cut people off at the slightest sign of envy, jealousy, or disrespect. They don't leave angry. They leave quiet. And quiet is the most permanent exit.

Robots are here, and soon they'll be everywhere. Working, building, cooking, cleaning, exploring, and becoming a normal part of everyday life.

Stop talking about toxic masculinity.

It’s a farce. The only thing toxic is the lack of masculinity.

It created toxic femininity.

[U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Bill White @USAmbToBelgium]

The United States Mission to Belgium condemns, in the strongest terms, Ghent University’s retaliation against an American scholar following his accurate whistleblower reporting on academic fraud.

The United States government regularly funds and supports research, academic exchanges, and other engagements with overseas universities. Dishonest, corrupt institutions that engage in, or reward, scapegoating mob behavior are not desirable partners for us. This is particularly true where the purpose and effect of the scapegoating is to punish accurate journalism unearthing academic dishonesty. We are therefore reviewing any relationships we have with Ghent University.

Bad-faith idealogues will try to make this a referendum on the content of Cofnas’s scholarship – or polemical distortions of it. That’s wrong. Free speech means that controversial views are protected. And Cofnas’s views were known to Ghent University when he was hired.

The ultimate purpose of freedom of speech is to overturn lies, fraud, and false ideologies. This is precisely what Cofnas was doing, and precisely the reason his home institution wants to silence him.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The growing anti data center hysteria is a good example of a broader problem.

Humans are driven more by fear, tribal narratives, intuition and short term thinking than by rigorous reasoning.

That is exactly why AGI/ASI will be so transformative, and we desperately need it.

It will expand the amount of high quality analysis, planning, and decision making available to civilization.

Reducing how much our long term future is constrained by human cognitive limitations.

AI will literally save us (long term) from human stupidity.

Intelliegnce, quality reasoning is rare, we need more intelligence.

"We should merge with them."

Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and futurist, says robots could eventually become as intelligent as humans, and we should merge with them.

The next frontier of AI may not be replacing humans, but augmenting human intelligence.

Smile, nod, agree and move on

Indulging in a debate with fools, shows you are the fool. You will waste your time.

Emotional people can not be reasoned with.
