Yes and no. Some extremely impressive things have been accomplished already. Alpha fold was very successful just to name one smaller and older project. The recent proof of the planar unit distance problem is very notable. The list goes on and on. There’s some legitimate gold in those neural network hills, it’s just not consistent.

I’m not sure it’s clean and easy like that. A rose by any other name smells just as sweet. I see it more like a classic battle between two very similar yet different individuals over ultimate legitimacy, like the fight between Romulus and Remus, although this will likely have a different ending.

If all this data center building and investment is a bust aka their next super model doesn’t deliver on all the promises they’ve made it’s going to make the 2008 financial crisis look cute.

Scared they’re totally leveraged and people will call their bluff before their super compute is built or the super compute will have diminished returns aka the investment is a wash. If this goes bust it will make the 2008 global financial crisis look cute.

The fun part about language is we can say things and it doesn’t mean it’s true or even logically consistent.

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. Actually part of the reason I’ve had some friends downgrade to a dumb phone++.

Chimps together strong.

Ah I see what happened, yeah I updated the post. I would say it’s moreso artistic but if you think that assessment is wrong I’ll kill the post and put in the correct sub.

The web interface allows you to put the video link and set the image for the post. That seems to have caused a conflict.

The political and cultural history of mainland China and Taiwan is really interesting. It’s easy to say they just want their fabs but I feel like the struggle is more so about legacy. The CCP gaining control over Taiwan would indicate they are the one and only true China spiritually and philosophically at least to themselves. It’s a fundamental split and both consider themselves the real or true China.

It seems the issues brought up can be broken down into two lines from the article

the community needs to figure out how to use A.I. “in a way that will maintain human understanding of the mathematics.”

A.I.- generated papers and proofs that have turned out to be incorrect, and in ways that are difficult for mathematicians to discern.

The latter of which is plaguing software developers already who are spending more time debugging vibe code than it would take to write code themselves. The former is more intriguing though in that it would signal glimpses of super intelligence aka cognitive powers beyond top tier experts in a field. Definitely should encourage us all to solve the control problem although major AI labs across the global have seemingly thrown caution Into the wind to solve the funding / cash flow problem first.

I mean the real question is how long now until standard encryption like SHA is cracked?

You might like the movie Cashback. You kinda just reminded me of it in that comment.

The situation with politics and mainstream media is pretty spot on. As for the food and pharma complex, it’s more apparent in the US than the EU. Now as for the collapse we are currently on the verge of the global financial system collapsible, the biosphere collapsing, and the advent of strong artificial intelligence and soon after artificial super intelligence. Most people well versed in what is happening are urgently concerned. Of course no one is going to absolutely see that future but a lot of what’s in the video is already known happenings.

I think we are now globally aware of this small and powerful group of people pulling the strings globally economically and politically due to the Epstein files.

So yeah the video is juiced up a bit for entertainment but also it really doesn’t contain much that isn’t already happening.

Yeah that’s what the large hadron collider is for, everyone knows that.

I wanted to research it myself since I didn’t know how Redbox flow batteries operate. It is two giant tanks of liquid energy. When there’s extra electricity from wind or solar, pumps move special vanadium-based liquids through a stack of cells, storing that energy as a chemical change. When electricity is needed later, the process runs in reverse and the liquids generate power for the grid. Unlike lithium batteries, the energy is stored in the liquid tanks, so making the battery bigger is mostly a matter of building larger tanks. The Swiss project will store about 2.1 GWh of energy—enough to help balance renewable power on a massive scale—and was chosen partly because redox-flow batteries are non-flammable, long-lasting, and can be cycled tens of thousands of times with little degradation

Essentially yeah, it’s heavily linked to novelty. For instance the drive to somewhere new or unusual is always longer than the drive home because we’ve already seen it so our neurons just dump all the information that’s familiar aka not novel. If someone does the same thing in the same place for years then time flashes by but if they are having many novel experiences then it feels like a lot more time has passed.

So in short the longer we live the more we have seen, the more we have seen the more is familiar aka auto dumped information by our neurons before it even touches the level of our conscious mind.
