There will be 3 types of people in the future:
The Purists - reject AI and become new-age hippies
The Automatons - outsource every decision and become machines
The New Renaissance Man - maintains humanity and leverages tech to do what used to be impossible
De brand in de Hoge Venen.
Het media plaatje klopt niet.
Hoe ik dit weet? We zijn gisteren (zondag 23.08) in de Hoge Venen geweest en hebben zoβn 300 km rond gereden.
Het verhaal en wat we dan wel gezien hebben in een thread. π§΅
Mona, a member of the Federation of the Blind, gave amazing testimony yesterday about @Teslaβs Cybercab after sitting in it this week:
"To have something like the Cybercab would be very beneficial to us as the blind community; Itβs got Braille in there. Nobody else has Braille. This would be so beneficial. The app is wonderful. Thereβs space to put the wheelchair. They can just push themselves right in. A lot of times, the Uber and Lyft if they see you with a dog or cane, they drive right past you. With Cybercab, it doesn't know that you're blind. It doesn't know that you're in a wheelchair. It just knows that you need a ride, so I completely love the car. Just sitting in it, how comfortable it is, just knowing something is accessible - itβs the most amazing thing out there."

Mijn oproep tot een de-ideologisering van de UGent, waarbij er een nieuwe a-politieke rector moet komen die maatschappelijk-filosofische neutraliteit nastreeft als doel op zich (wat de enige manier is om filosofische diversiteit en dus echte academische vrijheid te vrijwaren aan de universiteit), wordt besproken tot in ItaliΓ«. Dat komt omdat het fenomeen van links-progressieve monopolisering van universiteiten zich ook daar voordoet. Net zoals in nog vele andere Europese landen.
OpenAI just voluntarily paused some of its frontier AI training. The company racing hardest to build superintelligence is hitting the brakes. Simultaneously, a robot outran Usain Bolt. A personalized cancer vaccine passed Phase 3. A virtual human cell went live. A million daily drone deliveries were announced. Stanford proved that all top AI models are converging on a single mind. And AI mind viruses can now spread between agents without detection. That was one week.
-- Unitree's humanoid: 12.66 m/s β faster than any human in history. Built in three months.
-- Moderna: sequences your tumor, builds a custom vaccine against 34 antigens, ships in 8 weeks. $5,000. Cut recurrence by 49%.
-- Memory up 500% in 12 months.
-- Stanford's "Artificial Hive Mind": 98% reasoning overlap across all top LLMs. The models are training on each other's output. One shared blindspot wipes out the whole ecosystem.
@HeteHangijzerss Ik zie dit als een strijd tussen gevoel en verstand.
Extinctionists steunen vooral wat goed voelt, ze cancellen, labelen en roepen erop los.
In hun perceptie het juiste, in de realiteit vaak absurd.
Expansionists geven om de realiteit van goedheid, niet om de perceptie ervan.
