@gavinpurcell priceless ✨

@hartammann Guter Dribble, fein gespielt über die Flanke, geiler Pass in den Strafraum und dann... voll nach rechts verzogen am Tor vorbei.
Faszinierend, wie man eine gute Argumentation auf dem letzten Meter so vergeigen kann. Knapp daneben ist auch vorbei.

AI safety expert Dr. Roman Yampolskiy answers the question with no pause: Are we living in a simulation? Yes. We are.

He says the math is ugly.
If we are about to build intelligent agents, and we already build virtual worlds, then anyone can spin up civilizations full of beings like us.
Every kid plays a couple games.
Billions of fake worlds.
One real one.

What are the chances you are the original?
He has believed it for five years.
Bostrom’s paper got him there.
Bostrom was 20, 30 percent sure.
Yampolskiy thinks the number is higher.

You asked if that makes you fake.
He said no.
If you are inside the sim, simulated rain still soaks you.
You still feel pain.
You still fall in love.

The simulators have had 15 billion perceived years to kill us.
They didn’t.
They can shut it off any second.

The new threat is us.
Building a competing superintelligence inside their world.
That may be what triggers shutdown.
Lights out.

@StevenBartlett deep. great analogy. 👍

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX smokin' 🔥 220k at FP4 amounts to roughly 4.4 zettaflops of raw compute power (sparse)... my brain just broke 🤯

Well, Germany traditionally has an anti-entrepreneurial mindset: bureaucratic, financial, tax barriers are immense for founders, exit markets very limited, underdeveloped pathways from R&D to market launch, etc. It's unfortunate, bc SMB industry is traditionally strong - but top (enterprise) and bottom end (startups) weak.

This is "gold"... or better say, it is 'rare earth' playing a pivotal role in innovation, geopolitics, and economic control.

@kevinnbass I love this kind of investigative work. Well done

I love VW... but this looks outdated by 10 years before it even hit the press. With autonomous driving, long-range, family-size, and ultra-short charging batteries already either on the road (or very soon) in US and China, announcing this "prototype" feels kinda like a Kodak-moment 😓

@LinusEkenstam @PeterMcCormack As an American myself, I'm still surprised that my fellow citizens just don't understand how Europe works. Living here is like democracy on steroids. Not without its own problems and challenges... but a lot of good stuff the US can learn from. You're spot on. ✌️

... and d) to stay ahead in controlling future frameworks and economic advantage (see the race among top tier LLMs, the catching-up of open source models, the opportunity to create, define, and/or influence a future entity/legal body that governs AI (e.g., state-level department, committee, etc.).

Apart from that I'm seeing only a few voices dissecting the dynamics of the last days - from tweet to headline news. Qui bono, who is saying what, how is this coordinated, who is associated to which group... I'm far from conspiracies. But it does have weird aftertaste.

[Pascal Morgan @pascalmorgan]

@guilleflorvs Alex is on point, nothing more to add. Pausing AI makes sense - but we're not living in an ideal world. The reality is different. We have to move forward. And btw: We really do have some effing important things to solve with AI. Right now!

@Scobleizer @temple @sandy_carter PK! Hope to see him in Munich in Jan. He's next level ✨👌

[Pascal Morgan @pascalmorgan]

@PamelaPratt688 @maryisalien Perhaps. But I will always prefer an honest and decent debate over an echo chamber. I'm glad to have real friends in both "camps."
