The next 7 to 14 generations are going to look back at us, our parents and our grand parents as either saviors or backwards evil idiots!

No. It can take those crappy images that actually "read" people's mind and make them look better.

"Stable Difussion can read your mind!!!" is the silliest thing I've read this month, congratulations.

The problem with all of this is that the grid has to be transformed. To add in hundreds of millions of cars to the grid is going to break most of them. I expect that many of the grids will require voltage changes. Going from 120 in the states to 220-240. Otherwise we will have to adapt millions of transformers for higher loads. We will need billions of miles of new power lines and infrastructure to handle the new loads everywhere. And it all has to be done in the next 20 years.

People sure don't understand jack about ideology

Ideology is not an erroneous way of thinking to be overcome by facts and logic rather it is a necessary byproduct of the fact that we are political beings

You cannot not be ideological. Thinking some technical advance can change human nature is ideological in itself.

And yeah "everything is ideological" is an ideological statement, produced by certain power relationship and historical paradigms. But at least it's an ideology conscious of itself which is already an advance compared to the idea that the human mind can access transcendental truths which has not been empircally proven yet and is widely discussed since philosophy exists

Or, perhaps, become the computer. If we can't crack strong AI, how about we copy a human cortex, train it to obey, market it. Odd idea? Here's the novel.

No tipping points under 4C? ROFL 🤣 I swear some people haven’t taken a basic differential calculus class. Even a part of the time at higher levels means part of the effects happen. It doesn’t happen all at once when we reach the NumberC. Oh and the effect of carbon in the atmosphere is expected to last 200 years. So, anything even remotely close to 1-4C in the next 500 years is going to have an increasing feedback loop.

This idea seems scary but I'm hoping it means we can use it to help people with disabilities that prevent them from communicating. Ex. Dementia patients, nonverbal autistic folk, folks with ALS, coma patients, etc. And maybe we can even extend that to animals someday!

I am with you! We are way too late to stop the feedback loops that will ultimately doom a substantial number of species, but we still have a chance to undo some of it if we are willing to not only end human carbon and methane emissions but invest in 7-15 trillion dollar last minute plans to cool the planet with a Texas sized solar shade between the sun and moon at the L1 Lagrange point.
Anything less than that and I don’t think our great grand kids will forgive us.

That bit about "need to be transferable", I like that and it does indeed need to be there for a human to AI machine comparison. Thanks for mentioning that.

[Edit] Does that mean that humans are sub-computer?

Well it can be either just like any game. the question is whether these tournaments are going to just pretend AI isn't a factor or have some kind of checks in place to ensure the humans aren't getting an AI assist. In lieu of physical presence- two in-person players could be searched and made to wear a special tournament uniform, or something- it could be impossible to prevent.

There is tons we can do, if we had the right political, social and economic climate to do it in. Those are the things holding us back.

I'm not going to answer that question 😂

We wont rest. It's not enough to be copyable, we also need to be transferable, non-destructively. Then we leave this flesh behind.

My experiences may differ but my consciousness is the same. We are both humans after all, if I had been born without eyes and everything else the same, I would be a much different person, but the same consciousness.

Then why did you create this post in the first place?

AI chat bots will be used in tandem with media to spread the narrative. The targeted narrative.

That's it.

Our best AI models are already simulating trillions of synapses. The human brain has ~200 trillion. How much longer do you really think it’s going to be?

chatGPT is also very propagandistic.

Your conscious experience is very different from the conscious experience of someone who is blind and deaf

Eeee what am i reading minds when i analyze fmri data

Personally i dont give a damn. I will be dead already when shit hit the fan.

>Yes, reuse is absolutely mandatory if you plan to play on the level field with that. Reuse, or learn to build new orbital rocket each week in perpetuity on the cheap, good luck with that.

No it's not. Reuse itself puts a tight limit on your launch capacity, and SpaceX regularely expends boosters. Reuse is entirely optional, and speculating about a "a level playing field" without even knowing how reusability impacts SpaceX financially is pretty misleading.

You mean you want to ignore ✨ Soul✨?

China already created AI tool for propaganda.

Just wait for powerful AI tool with targeted propaganda in EU / NA.

It's very possible. But weird to think about. I mean is there even different types of consciousness? Different ways to obtain consciousness, sure I can see that. But is the end result different?

Falcon did 61 launches last year. No matter what you are fan of, you got to respect that tonnage and revenue. Starship is going to go a giant leap beyond that within few years. The only limit is finding enough payloads.

Yes, reuse is absolutely mandatory if you plan to play on the level field with that. Reuse, or learn to build new orbital rocket each week in perpetuity on the cheap, good luck with that.
