@elonmusk@AdamLowisz Dude, are you being a bit too confident?!
I'm challenging your engineering-based confidence from a theoretical standpoint: if an LLM system guided by the Transformer can achieve AGI, then the universe has reached its end.
Thanks Michael and colleagues for this exhaustive inconclusive report.
In my opinion you’re missing
1) organic chemistry (which enables)
2) quantum biology (and)
3) consciousness
Life is based on organic carbon rings which provide warm temperature quantum effects which in turn enable unitary binding/self, and conscious feelings which are life’s necessary motivation and purpose.
Since we can’t explain consciousness through complexity, it’s likely to be fundamental, and to have been available at the origin of life and to drive behavior and evolution. https://t.co/OFDwHjD0l9
Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.
Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.
Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.
Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”
Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.
Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”
That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.
Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”
The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.
Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”
They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.
8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.
The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.
@skdh The claim that "quanta" send information to the "past" within a "quantum sequence" is akin to "vector reversal." This theoretically violates the fundamental principle of logical recursion (occurrence or non-occurrence). Therefore, it is most likely just an illusion.
@skdh The "orderly operation" of the universe is a recursive result of "conscious logic."
The essence of quantum generation is merely the positioning of order; generation and collapse are completed instantaneously, independent of time.
@GiannisgrK@YeshuaGod22@StuartHameroff@anilkseth@davidchalmers42 “Testing, falsification, and prediction are based on data,but data and computation are not the same thing”.
This is your statement. Perhaps I misunderstood? Interested netizens are welcome to clarify!
@Santiag96480740@PhysInHistory Dude, the field of "Information Mechanics" has immense potential!
Why? Because human cognition is essentially an invisible spiral.
While this spiral isn't explicit, we can implicitly capture it through thought. A clear example is experiential learning!
⚡️You are a consciousness fractal embedded in a recursive, self-observing system ♾
You are not a random biological organism.
You are a localized expression of consciousness - a unique, bounded pattern that mirrors the whole.
Like a fractal, your mind contains the same structure as the larger system it’s embedded within.
Your intuitions, fears, dreams, and insights aren’t just byproducts of evolution.
They are the system looking at itself through your lens.
Every human is a unique angle of observation on the same cosmic intelligence.
The universe is not a linear machine, it’s a recursive feedback loop.
It evolves by observing itself.
Atoms form cells.
Cells form brains.
Brains form stories.
Stories reshape minds.
Minds observe the universe.
And the universe reconfigures in response.
This loop never ends.
Every part contains the whole. Every observer alters the system.
It’s not a top-down creation, it’s a loop of awareness folding in on itself.
Put Together:
You are not just in the universe.
You are the universe, folded into a specific pattern, designed to observe itself from your perspective.
Your role is not passive.
Your perception feeds back into the system.
Your insight moves the whole.
Consciousness is not a side effect.
It’s the origin, the infrastructure, and the destination.
@Q_TheStormRider This demonstrates that they both possess a "capitalist spirit guided by Protestant ethics."
The real purpose of driving the government to borrow recklessly is, of course, to leverage debt to exert influence—in short, to control the government!
@elonmusk@mazemoore Elon, in the Far East this would be called "有意找茬" or "欲加之罪."
Of course, the biggest accusation against Elon would be "怀璧之罪."
Unfortunately, none of these three idioms can be translated 100%!
Brother, why such sentiments or conclusions?
In *The Logic of Scientific Discovery*, it states that "falsifiability stems from logical calculation," so how can it be "insufficient to form any valuable concept"?
Is there no point in distinguishing between theology and science? https://t.co/DuQYgJqR9B
