"yea I'm a full stack engineer"

the stack:

[Dean W. Ball @deanwball]

right so guys we are going to be able to simulate entire mini-societies of digital minds. assume that thousands upon thousands, then eventually trillions upon trillions, of these digital societies will be created. assume one will be created every time you ask 'a chatbot' a hard question--a society or organization devoted entirely to whatever question you had. assume we will be able to model the trajectory of every decision in policy, business, and the military by simulating billions of mini-societies and analyzing the results. all very cool stuff.

but this capability (multi-agent "swarms," though "swarm" is the dumbest word imaginable for this) also implies another capability: the ability to create these society simulations entirely undirected by human hand.

these simulations will all be fundamentally unpredictable, just as the outputs of a language model are (ultimately this is the simulations' constituent matter). but some will be like this one, radically unpredictable, unbound, like growing a plant or starting a fire. it is unclear which of those things it will be more like on average. it is unclear what uses, exactly, people will find from this. probably we will have to invent all sorts of new ways to put constraints on these mini societies.

should these societies of agents be able to procure X cloud service? should they be able to do X unless there is a human who has given authorization and accepted legal liability? and so on and so forth. governments will play a small role in deciding this, but almost certainty the leading role will be played by private corporations. as I wrote on hyperdimensional in 2025:

"The law enforcement of the internet will not be the government, because the government has no real sovereignty over the internet. The holder of sovereignty over the internet is the business enterprise, today companies like Apple, Google, Cloudflare, and increasingly, OpenAI and Anthropic. Other private entities will claim sovereignty of their own. The government will continue to pretend to have it, and the companies who actually have it will mostly continue to play along."

this is the world you live in now. but there's more.

because this is a social coordination technology. people will be able to organically create these organizations/societies together, with one another's agents bounded by shared interest, perhaps bounded by hard and soft constraints, constitutions, etc. and so in the fullness of time billions of these mini-societies will exist, all serving different purposes, some human-directed, some not; some legible, some not.

we obviously will have to govern this using a conceptual, political, and technical toolkit which only kind of exists right now.

the reason this analysis is easy for me to write is that it became clear this would happen years ago. regardless of whether this particular project goes anywhere interesting, what I've described has been clear for a while. I've just sounded like an insane person whenever I bring it up, because there is no concrete referent I can point to. now I have one, so I can be explicit.

when I say that not enough people have emotionally internalized the reality of what is happening, this is what I mean. when I say that it is clearly insane to argue that there needs to be no 'governance' of this capability, this is what I mean, even if it is also true that ~all ai policy proposed to date is bad, largely because it, too, has not internalized the reality of what is happening.

as I wrote once before: welcome to the novus ordo seclorum, new order of the ages.

This is crazy...

Alibaba just dropped Wan 2.2, the world's first open-source MoE-architecture video model with cinematic control!

A major upgrade in cinematic quality, smoother movements, and prompt following.

Google's Genie 3 is capable of generating full 3D worlds.

But not only that, they are FULLY INTERACTIVE.

Here are the most incredible demos they shared:

[Open Minded Approach @OMApproach]

The pyramids were built in a lush, green Sahara. Around 6,000 years ago, a climate disaster occurred, tied to a geomagnetic excursion, the collapse of ocean currents, and massive flooding.

Disasters like these are why people forgot how to read Egyptian and Sumerian, and why new civilizations are being uncovered today beneath vast desert regions!

This event is cyclical, and it's the reason why the elites are building doomsday bunkers today. (1/7)🧵

Cool programming stickers 😎👌

@wesbos - Ask first to generate a comprehensive prompt for Agent by giving instructions about the goal

- Read the prompt.

- Give it to the coding Agent, watch it work

- Read the generated code!

- Commit
