Perspective is relative; there is no privileged vantage point.

@martinmbauer That isn't Americans caring that's money paying for a million "voices" to oppose anything that caps the flood gates of public funds into money pits.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@pmddomingos Just because something can regurgitate information doesn't make it "superintelligent". The fact Zuckerberg and his ilk have achieved such an elevated social status because of their algorithms shows just how far we've fallen and just how degraded collective intellect has gotten.

@skdh 2) it's putting back together the shattered pieces of the Tower of Babel. The entirety of knowledge contains all the answers sought its just been fractured it into of silos, disciplines etc. If you have to reinvent the wheel you're inventing Babel, unify what is already there.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@skdh that's what makes "geometry". piecing together coherent connections into a unifying picture from seemingly disconnected concepts. that's what makes "discovery" possible. There is nothing "new" to discovery since everything in existence has always "been" and will always "be".

[Skyler @Physquant]

@LocasaleLab correct, those of us who actually live the day to day realities of a society are not qualified to give our opinions, assesments, feedback or expertise on what is actually going on; only academics are allowed to define our reality for us and then think we are too dumb to notice.

@WKCosmo @Quasilocal 4) Once all degrees of freedom have been exhausted the core would be required to extract energy from itself but extracting energy from self causes destruction of the extractive core. This applies to both physics and social systems.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@WKCosmo @Quasilocal 3) The reason a true singularity can never be reached is due to the fact the core must maintain a least one degree of freedom from the periphery in order to "extract" energy "from" a source "to" itself.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@WKCosmo @Quasilocal 2) As the energy from the periphery is consumed the core's reach must shrink in scope since the remaining energy will be concentrated closer and closer to the collapsing core.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@WKCosmo @Quasilocal high entropy can be described as high power concentration. As energy concentrates around a collapsing core the periphery around the core becomes more "empty" of thermodynamic energy requiring more energy from the core to extract dwindling energy resources.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@WKCosmo @Quasilocal 3) chaos is a powerful engine of profit for those who are ruthless enough to harness its energy through extraction and exploitation. Breakdown in systems will elevate the most machiavellian who will move amongst the madness with ease to concentrate ultimate power/authority.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@WKCosmo @Quasilocal 2) the chaotic front of DEI, incompetence and contrived narratives constructs the perfect environment to distract from the deeper rot and fomenting discord can function as both cause and effect.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@WKCosmo @Quasilocal Academia serves interests beyond administrators. Behind large universities are billion dollar endowments. Academia has become a vehicle of profit to far more powerful interests. Arday and his supporters are props obscuring the real actors. As the saying goes: follow the money.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@martinmbauer Good, stop wasting money

[Skyler @Physquant]

@skdh Really? This is an interesting development and I'm hopefully optimistic it signals a shift in incentives away from a massive waste of public funds that only benefits the corporate racket

[Skyler @Physquant]

@Math_files You can't teach what can only be learned through experience. That's why you "learn late" when it comes to life.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@skdh @demishassabis @wtgowers 5) I blame them for the collapse of the human wave function

[Skyler @Physquant]

@skdh @demishassabis @wtgowers 4) Adam and Eve were immortal until they went and started the whole data processing nonsense by eating from the Tree of Knowledge.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@skdh @demishassabis @wtgowers 3) remember how the old school Nokia phones lasted 10 years and modern phones look snazzier, compute faster and are obsolete after 3-4 years? I see our biblical ancestors as the Nokia version of humanity living to ripe age of 900; today we move faster but are obsolete at 80.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@skdh @demishassabis @wtgowers 2) we are "divinely" powered and self sustaining via organic, self organizing phenomenon. The most intuitive tech as we totally submersed in our locality intuitively processing data input. We cannot build an equivalent with our own hands as nothing is as "present" as we are.

[Skyler @Physquant]

@skdh @demishassabis @wtgowers Humans are the universe's original tech. Our senses natural instruments to process and synthesis info and then use that "input" to produce "output" organizing our locality to optimize our survival. Powered by the cosmic grid. Our language used as data transmission.
