Another EU member is joining America‘s Pax Silica and this is a very good thing! When will the EU join as a whole?

@anneapplebaum It does not seem to be expanding.

Reason for pessimism, or optimism?

@TheStourbridge George is a great goalie.

@philosway On the level on the experiencing self, we seek pleasure and avoid pain.

On the evolutionary level, we've been designed to survive, procreate, and tend for the young.

On the spiritual level, we should reduce suffering, increase beauty, meaning and happiness, seek the truth.

The epistemic doubt AI injects into our life (is this AI?) will get worse as AI gets better.

Natural speech is almost there, to be followed by 100% lifelike simulations, and lastly robots that look so human you can't tell the difference.

This is a crisis. Our mind is not capable of treating these humanoid impersonations as anything other than human, on the emotional-perceptive level (even if the neo-cortex screams its disagreement).

I believe we need to regulate ASAP, but we must also create a culture that lifts up the human spirit, where AI does not eclipse humanity.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@Saganismm May it be so. We'd need to make sure ASI helps, not hinders, this vision.

@jenniferzeng97 Sounds a lot like extortion. But who's surprised?

Rights are an arbitrary concept where absolute power is concentrated by authoritarians.

We can safely make the inference that hydration remain an important goal even past the unusually hot weather, for this particular feline. Therefore:

Please share the schedule of the gravy train with George.

Preferably with an hourly service, and a lifetime of free fare.

Thank you.

@LuizaJarovsky The Mythos moment exposed how dangerous AI products can be, especially in the wrong hands.

Models are getting more powerful and more autonomous, rapidly. The risks compound as they do.

@TheStourbridge Fur-mware updates necessitate copious amounts of tuna, and other such delectable sources of animal protein, as everybody knows quite well.

@Gerashchenko_en Time to press the advantage.

I think we're past the tipping point, where Russia's economy's cracks are expanding too rapidly to close while the war is ongoing.

[New Generation @new_gen23]

@DalaiLama We need trust more than ever in the age of artificial intelligence.

If we don't make sure it shares pro-human values, it's an own-goal for team humanity.

@DorotheaBaur And, there's no option of letting China win the race and impose its draconic authoritarian repression on the rest of the world, as it already does in Xinjiang, and tries to do elsewhere.

[New Generation @new_gen23]

@jenniferzeng97 It's time the CCP tasted their own medicine, and it's time for the Chinese people to realize how much freedom is taken from them.

They can also be informed about the acts their regime commits, like organ harvesting, Uyghur Muslim re-education camps, mass surveillance...

🚨Whether a real war between the CCP and Taiwan has started or not, the cognitive and psychological war began long ago.

Taiwan’s National Security Bureau has just released this chilling AI-made video aimed at people inside China.

The message is simple: under the CCP system, anyone can disappear without explanation.

“Now is the time to make a change.”
At the end of the video, a secure channel is offered for people inside China to contact Taiwan’s authorities, provide useful CCP-related information, or defect.

I believe this was inspired by the @CIA's similar campaigns.

As far as I know, similar videos produced by the CIA have received more than 132 million views.

How effective do you think this video will be?

@vtchakarova Ironically (or not) the Meditations is a bestseller.

Perhaps an accompanying heuristic, which I think Marcus wouldn't have objected to is:

Strive to know the truth, aspire to do good, don't give a pass to evil and prevent it if you can.
