A few thousand extraordinary minds per generation are not responsible for significant human progress. That is a bad take from a complexity standpoint. Nonetheless, modern AI systems are successful due to acting as complex systems.
Human civilization is about to gain trillions of extra (200+ IQ) minds.
For all of history, progress was limited by the tiny number of genius level humans alive at any moment.
A few thousand extraordinary minds per generation had to push the entire species forward.
One Einstein.
One Newton.
One Tesla.
One Turing.
One von Neumann.
One Feynman.
Civilization was bottlenecked by biology,
by lifespan,
by education speed,
by attention,
by memory,
by fatigue,
by the number of rare geniuses nature happened to produce.
That bottleneck will soon be obliterated. To achieve this asap, we need to build as many chips and data centers as possible, as fast as possible.
The 2030s will not be just very advanced. They will be unreal. Well beyond Star Trek level.
Utter BS post claiming this book is most used in the world.
The facts are it is inferior book that’s why it is not used by any prime math nations. Neither China nor Russia nor France uses books like this.
Also it was sold at hundreds of thousands per year a pale number in comparison to Kiselev Calculus book that was used by over 80m+ students for over 70 years.
The fact that it is used in USA probably also explains why many us students can’t manage calculus.
@pmarca Relevance post August 2026 (where digital watermarking (eg SynthID), provenance, etc are imposed by EU and CA law)? I suppose a US only text based model could escape statutory scrutiny at that time, but doubtful any good model won’t build to the EU standard.
@nikki_potnick HAHAHAHAHA and the largest unsolved (and physically important) question is how the lawyer transmitted the invoice beyond the event horizon.
Under the theory of special relativity, a lawyer traveling closer to the speed of light relative to the client would experience time dilation. The lawyer’s clock ran slow relative to the client’s clock - the lawyer packed more billable events into their experienced minutes.
@alz_zyd_ Agree, felt like a bag of tricks, but it’s a prerequisite for PDE and dynamical systems, which are both useful. Could be combined with those classes though.
