One of the weirdest quirks of the SF social scene around AGI/ASI is that because everyone is so young, the whole universe of thinking is still tinged with irreverence, ironic detachment, yearning, insecurity, and a superposition of absolute belief in the importance of The Thing and a kind of disbelief about the importance of anything. People are dead serious and also possessed of too much uncertainty about the situation to own it, completely committed and also perpetually unsure where they stand or what org they should be in. People are experiencing their first real heartbreaks and their first real illusions of triumph and disaster. Everyone is testing themselves and the boundaries of the possible but no one has been fully tested or passed all their tests. No one has yet learned or proven how to be responsible for a thing of this magnitude, but there is also no one better suited because all of the people who have real experience in great events have been in such different circumstances that their intuitions would not just fail to apply but might actively make things worse. The level of neophyte is off the charts. There is a lack of formidability; there are people who seem quasi-formidable but the whole social scene and hierarchy is so tenuous - and so likely to be disrupted by events and geopolitics - that it is hard to be sure who will turn out to be formidable when push comes to shove and greatness is requisite to proceed.

Group theory is so OP

Maybe the path to AGI is not training on the whole corpus of human-generated information, but testing whether architectures can rediscover the process that generated it.

looking at the larger scope of human development as a species (~the last 13000 years), the harms of every technological revolution were outweighed by its power to improve the wider public’s lives. AI may not be such, it may actually be violently stopped by the public (unless universal basic income, etc.). You can’t sustain something that makes 90% of people (voters) socially and economically irrelevant.

maybe the reason why we do not see any superintelligent lifeforms in the universe is not because they self-destruct at some point but rather they choose as a species to not become superintelligent.

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer

- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded

- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit

- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max

- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges

hyperstitions.

@omer_faruk_ucar DigiKey BB-102'nin daha kötü olsa da ülkemiz koşullarında benim denk geldiğim en yakını.

@omer_faruk_ucar Ben son dönemde bunu buldum. Gayet iyi çalışıyor bacağı çok kısa IC'leri bile tutuyor.Önce jumper taktığım delikte 24 AWG kablo kullandığımda bile temassızlık yapmadı. Tavsiye ederim.

@MohitBhoite It is very pleasant to look at! Do you have a schematic?

Sizinle bir süredir üzerine uzun uzun düşündüğüm bir konuyu paylaşmak ve bununla bağlantılı olarak bazı insanları uyarmak istiyorum. Maalesef ki kadına şiddet, kadın cinayetleri, taciz ve tecavüz yıllardır gündemimizde olan bir konu.

It isn’t that hard to assemble an array of Raspberry Pi boards and there are several reasons you might want to do so. The real trick is getting power to all of them and cooling all of them without having … https://t.co/Zm91ru8eGc
