I think that the truth is that Humans don't really understand what's inside the black box of a neural network. So saying it can't understand because it's made to guess the next word is childish wishful thinking. It has already shown a myriad of emergent properties and will continue to. But yeah, easier to say that it's the LLM that doesn't understand anything.

Well you have to build more houses for that issue, but regga and resource constraints make it so that the supply can’t keep up. We need new building methods and removal of all the constraints towns and cities place on development. It’s not magical. Housing prices go up because of high demand, low supply, and easy money. The only solution is remove the barriers to development and the houses will come and the prices will drop. I think removing foreign landlords might be a good idea too, but if they want to build and sell, let them.

I think the problem with modern approach to transgenderism is that it's like giving someone a wooden leg and then trying to pretend it's the real thing. Which hopefully the more advanced transhumanism will solve. And the same goes for racism and sexism. So those things can actually become social constructs. Like picking your clothes or car.

In my opinion that part happened already. Except for a few last foci of resistance like wikipedia. Google never gives you more than 400 results per search. And seeing as exact search has been disabled, we effectively lost more than 99% of what once was the internet. Thank god they were forced to use the (real, old, now unavailable to us) internet to train them. At least a little piece of it is saved.

But yeah... Paywalls.

Alcubierre metric, unification of GR & QM + making the Casimir effect work on classical scales would probably get you there, maybe. Having more intelligence might help you sus out solutions to problems we can’t solve yet, like the unification of GR & QM… if things like ftl are possible it’ll pop out of whatever unifies those two frame works.

the real problem of singularity is that’s all written in javascript and robots wage war on humanity for creating this language.

But on the bright side just ask any machine operating on is the following questions and you will short circuit it:

[] + [] = ? [] + {} = ? {} + [] = ? {} + {} = ? 000123 = 000123 = ? 000800 = 000800 = ?

It's not a very good example.

99% of streamers don't make enough to survive as a single source of income

99% of all revenue of streamers is earned by those in the top .1-.2% of viewership

That's not a job. That's an incredibly lucky and fortunate situation.

There may be different and new things we will be able to do with AI, but 99% of people will never directly benefit financially from it. Not including UBI and profit sharing due to automation which would be indirect. The compensation of UBI will also never exceed current earning potential pre-AGI. Unless we are actually post-scarcity, and the AGI can do everything for us. Early stages of AI rollout, what we are experiencing now, up until full post-scarcity will be dick for just about everyone. People with resources and capital will never willingly share if they don't need human labor.
