@TheDemocrats yall need to drop Isreal if you wanna win this thing like NOW. Like NOW now. You will lose if you don't. They're indefensible. It HAS to stop @SenSchumer

@i_gallaher @JutlandGhost this is great too

[Eliott Edge @oddedges]

@motiondemon @JutlandGhost yeah ya

@JutlandGhost Only question: ur thoughts on the cases of AI being MORE expensive than human labor vis-a-vis LLMs; which are hugely expensive--far more expensive than the average 2,000-3,000 calorie diet a worker needs vs the power plant-level CONTINUAL energy that LLMs require?

Here’s my summary of Nick Land’s core thesis: capitalism is artificial intelligence.

[Mikey Downs @JutlandGhost]

The thesis that capitalism is artificial intelligence was, is, and will be Nick’s fundamental theoretical contribution. He is correct about this and it is in this precise sense that I am a Landian.

Just finished our conference in Nashville about NHIQ, the Non-human Intelligence question, including simulation theory, AI, UFOs, and religion!
Here I am amongst the 3 main speakers, with @iamwilliamhenry and Dr. Travis Taylor, answering questions from the great audience we had.

It was great fun and in a beautiful location- a historic seminary!

Maybe we'll bring the show to other cities in the near future ...Let us know where you think we should take the show on the road ..?

completely forgotten to people under a certain age that when this movie came out alex jones was a beloved local figure among the vaguely progressive crunchy austin counterculture, like dennis kucinich bumper sticker bouldin creek cafe chronicle readers. hard to explain now

[Donald Hoffman @donalddhoffman]

It was a pleasure to talk with Tom Bilyeu about simulation theory, consciousness, the scientific search for a coherent theory of observation, and why spacetime cannot be fundamental but must emerge from a much deeper framework.

@Rizstanford this movie kicks ass

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

The incredible opening shot from Dead End (1937) blends miniature effects, forced perspective and clever editing — and nearly 90 years later, it still looks fantastic.

Same as ever

Brand new! Time to read Mark Fisher’s classic essay ‘Terminator vs Avatar’! Link in comments.

AI learning to simulate reality ...predicting what happens next ... Any simulation would need to use AI as its infrastructure - wrote about this in the latest edition of the simulation hypothesis!

I’ll be rapping about virtual reality as a metaphor and its connection to magick today at 5:30 EST — Free zoom link in the image!

@NotesfromtheSim @Rizstanford My hope is those days are over with this one in particular: https://t.co/iJNsybi7HX

found a Hirohiko Araki illustration of Jacques Lacan for the cover of a Japanese paperback about his theories (Ikinobiru Tame no Rakan, by Tamaki Saitō)

[Rizwan Virk @Rizstanford]

Every few years, someone (usually a physicist) claims they have disproven the simulation hypothesis. Usually they are wrong.
Here's a recent paper by @oddedges on a recent attempt:

Physicists Keep Refuting the Wrong Simulation Hypothesis -
