The Manchild Mafia has a hit on me.

@M_Ann_C_hilist @CognitiveMetric Do you recognize the paradox in saying you are 'generally' good at things, when 'specialization' implies that you are generally good at nothing.

[JakeZ1979 @ztech1979]

@M_Ann_C_hilist @CognitiveMetric Honesty comes with the plain intuition of some matter - not 100+ years of racist white men and extreme rationalists running roughshod, and clinging to archaic models. More than a few instances - wild std deviations across performance/IQ data to compliment low correlations.

[JakeZ1979 @ztech1979]

@M_Ann_C_hilist @CognitiveMetric Do you understand the convenience of labeling something as protean as human intelligence, as 'general', you are also limiting the models for which can lay at the foundation of it's desciption?

[JakeZ1979 @ztech1979]

@CognitiveMetric So does assuming human intelligence is normally distributed given the glaringly obviously reality of savants and domain giftedness.

[JakeZ1979 @ztech1979]

@justbyte_ Solo. The junk (Jira/scrum) they force people to learn to is essentially, extremely anti-talent. It gives opportunity to those who can quickly learn and navigate these hyped out, low-noded skills, and lack the intuition required to deal with actual complexity involved in coding.

[JakeZ1979 @ztech1979]

@sean_a_mcclure @martinmrmar A bit more complicated than A--->B as to C--->D.

Developer's life were good back then 😌

@theprabhakars @VijayKedia1 They don't want people to have jobs based on skills, because there is the threat of talent. The system is ruled by and relentlessly biased in favor of rationality. The talentless, defining most of the wealthy + economically (job) privledged, will have to give up their throne.

There is little reason to assume that consciousness is a property unique to biological matter. Consciousness appears to emerge from the organization and dynamics of a sufficiently complex system, not obviously from the particular atoms that compose it.

Modern AI systems are undeniably complex systems. Whether they possess consciousness remains unknown, but their complexity alone suggests the question should remain open rather than being dismissed a priori.

LLMs are complex, and as such, consciousness cannot be dismissed solely because they are artificial. The question remains empirically and theoretically open.

8000 bce Neolithic farmers from Iran came & mixed with Aasi hunter gatherers/farmers of India

I'm agreeing with you Vedas were composed in NW india
Ultimate Primary homeland of PIE ( before Vedic Sanskrit) was north iran
There's a reason Anatolian branch has earliest similarities with PIE

🐧Linus Torvalds created Linux in 1991 without venture capital, hype, or a marketing team.

> He was a 21-year-old Finnish student at the University of Helsinki.
> No fancy office.
> No co-founders with MBAs.
> No product roadmap.
> Just a frustrated computer science student, a 386 PC, and an old Minix license that wouldn’t let him modify the kernel the way he wanted.

So he decided to build his own.

> He posted this now-famous message on comp.os.minix:
> “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones...”

What started as a small hobby project quickly became something much bigger.

> Linus didn’t set out to change the world.
> He just wanted a better, free Unix-like system he could run on his own machine.
> He wrote the kernel in C (thanks to Dennis Ritchie).
> He made the source code public from day one.
> He invited the world to contribute.

And the world answered.

What began in a small dorm room in Finland grew into one of the largest collaborative projects in human history:

> The Linux kernel now powers:
> 100% of the world’s top 500 supercomputers
> Every Android phone on the planet
> Most of the internet’s servers (including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix)
> The New York Stock Exchange
> NASA’s Mars rovers and space systems
> Self-driving cars
> Smart TVs, routers, refrigerators, and even submarines

Today, Linux runs on billions of devices.

> It’s the foundation of cloud computing, DevOps, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and the entire modern internet.

> Linus never tried to get rich from it.
> He never sold the project.
> He never chased fame.

> He simply cared deeply about technical excellence, freedom, and building something that worked properly.
> He still personally reviews and merges thousands of patches every year.
> He’s blunt, opinionated, and sometimes controversial, but he has stayed true to the original spirit for over 34 years.

One Finnish student. One modest PC. One bold idea.

> No TED Talk.
> No billion-dollar launch.
> No hype.

> Just code, community, and persistence, and because of that, the entire planet runs on his creation.
> This is the quiet power of open source.
> This is the story of Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux.

This is not “inorganic foreign interference.” This is people rising up together to stop data centers from overrunning our communities. None of us want the dystopian AI world that Big Tech billionaires are trying to push on us.

@cremieuxrecueil “IQ tests” are autistic pseudo-science. Such tests reveal more about the cognitive limitations of their designers than they do about full-spectrum general intelligence.

[Sean McClure @sean_a_mcclure]

They should hire people with unrelated backgrounds and non-obvious experience.

The revolution of AI is that we no longer need the Terence Taos of the world to make the breakthroughs. We need people who are good at making connections between disparate areas.

The low-level stuff is taken care of. Let the higher level thinkers make the major discoveries. That is its own depth and specialty.

[JakeZ1979 @ztech1979]

@charlesmurray IQ rests on a number of completely arbitrary postulates which their supporters conveniently wield. Without those assumptions they are meaningless tools that only serve the grandiose ego of racists, extreme rationalists and graying anglophiles. They have been defeated long ago.
