@CCL2K30 So, what you're showing me is that we've now figured out new peak optimal running types.

[Gavin Baker @GavinSBaker]

Suspect we will start to hear about a “Pareto optimal” balance of computationally efficient humans, cheaper open-source tokens and frontier tokens.

Our internal AI spend @Atreidesmgmt will be roughly 100x higher in August 2026 vs. March 2026. Still roughly doubling every month. Note that is before Grok Bot moves to consumption pricing which will likely create a step function when it happens (at least for me).

AI means that scale has become more important to investing imo.

I think there will be a minimum token spend required to be competitive in most knowledge based industries.

The “compute inequality” referenced by Sholto in our discussion.

[Science Signaling @scisignal]

An emerging body of work shows that supportive cells called #glial cells act as leading architects of the neural extracellular matrix, which serves as a critical signaling hub for nerve synapses and neuronal circuits, according to a new Focus. @StJude https://t.co/5Q4JdeRQOv

Brain organoids, cultured for over 5 years, have a memory from when they were "babies" in vitro.

@Plinz Very reasonable Maxims.

Still searching for that intelligent dissent. It's definitely ego that makes me convinced the former tends to not be paired with the latter.

That in all earnest, the most fun conversations come from those passionate enough to disagree with the room. Rare

@StuartHameroff What about the physical unit? This would be a huge breakthrough if true.

I love Penrose but psuedoscience tech sets us far back. I see no evidence the Dodeconogram is real or effective.

Alas It'd be nice to be proven wrong. I want to believe! Thus the increased skepticism.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@StuartHameroff This mysterious Dodeconogram never seems to show up in demonstration or in any form of empirically verifiable way.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@QuanticASI I'm gonna be real, I was gonna say something silly like neurons that fire together wire together, but then I searched "Neuron" on X's Gif function, and kept scrolling down deep as it turned into increasingly disturbing nightmare material.

Only mildly concerning 😅

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@XCosmosOfficial Pars triangularis. Partially at least.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@XCosmosOfficial Language is accurate enough to trick rocks into thinking ; generate worlds in your mind. Create universe sims (Games) and orchestrate vibrations that alter perception, even using said thinking rocks to generate them (Music.)

Answer's no though lol. The menu is not the meal.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

It's 5.15 AM, Saturday, I get to open up my university department on the weekend for neuro experimentation and Instead of sleep have questions on glial cells on my mind.

The main problem with finding your passion is obsession waits for no man. Recommend it though. Fulfilling.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@Plinz I certainly hope we see an Apis Mellifera model similar to the drosophila melanogaster model.

Complex swarm behaviour, interesting magnetic field dynamics, fairly advanced signalling behaviour.

It's a potential gold mine I hope a lab somewhere is taking seriously.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@Plinz Current neural models implement super abstract digital neurons (Generally spiking neural nets).

If the imperative is as above, then local mRNA translation, gene expression, microtubule and astrocyte digital correlates need significant advancement and funding.

We must go deeper.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@Plinz @stevenstrogatz "We should use our intellectual authority to oppose development".

"Many want to work with AI,
others may prefer to stay “AI vegetarian” or even “AI vegan.” Coming up with definitions of such mathematical identities is interesting and important
work."

This has to be satire 😂

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@colmkennj @KnightsTempOrg I've had a wonderful hike in the Mourne's, but I've just been up to Londonderry/Derry for the first time, gorgeous place.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@KnightsTempOrg @colmkennj I'm one of them.

This is one of, if not the best places in the UK.

It is simply incredible to be here.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@QuanticASI But what about the leptons? Won't someone please think of the leptons!?

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@norabelrose @Plinz Besides, if running a simulation of a brain doesn't produce real conscious experience, then the "Ancestor simulations" in Bostroms argument do not count as containing observers like us.

And of course, let's not get all spooky here and bring up the great filter.

[Cal @HiThereImCal]

@norabelrose @Plinz Belief is dogma.

I have seen no evidence that consciousness can't be explained with physics, mathematics and empirical reasoning.

Whilst I see indicators of a holographic universe (Ads/cft), assuming it's computational or ET is premature.
