Even though intelligence brings evolutionary benefits, clearly it’s not worth the time and energy costs for the vast majority of animals. So what was different about humans that allowed us to get so smart?

Massachusetts Democrat leaders are fighting to keep ìllegals in our state, even though the overwhelming majority of Americans want them deported. This is not representation—it’s betrayal. Instead of helping taxpayers struggling with housing costs, they hand out free housing and benefits to ìllegals. Time and time again, our so-called leaders put the interests of ìllegals above the safety and will of the people.

This Government found more money for benefits and illegal migrants. But not to get our courts sitting round the clock. So, today, David Lammy is scrapping jury trials for the vast majority of cases.

this was the most important bit of the ilya interview imo. humans are not AGI, and LLMs won’t become like humans with more scaling. humans lack a huge amount of knowledge and have insanely good “continual learning” powered by extremely good reward functions (except for addiction) that guide them. and so it’s more about the learning rather than knowledge. the term AGI was coined as a response to the narrow AI which was only capable of intelligence in a specific domain (chess, game, code, etc) but General intelligence is able to learn different topics because that’s what “learning” is about. pre-training was thought to be the solution to reaching AGI because you train AI on so many different topics. but they have “overshot” that target. amazing perspective.

The shutdown is said to be about ACA subsidies...but what about costs for the majority that are killing us? Here is the good bad and ugly of this reality:

ELON: "I’M PRO-HUMAN - AI SHOULD TAKE US FORWARD, NOT REPLACE US" “The important thing is consciousness. The vast majority of intelligence in the future will be AI, and basically humans will be a tiny percentage of all intelligence if current trends continue. I’m very pro-human, I want to make sure we can take certain actions that ensure that humans are along for the ride.” Source: Cheeky Pint Podcast, Elon Musk

Even the good ones are like this. So it’s smart to just accept that this is their nature, and not complain about reality🙃

Elon Musk: Well, I’m not sure AI is the main risk I’m worried about. The vast majority of intelligence in the future will be AI. Humans will be a very tiny percentage of all intelligence if current trends continue. My focus is ensuring human intelligence and consciousness are propagated into the future. We want to maximize the probable light cone of consciousness and intelligence. Yeah, I’m very pro-human, so I want to make sure we take actions that ensure humans are along for the ride. But I think maybe in 5 or 6 years, AI will exceed the sum of all human intelligence. If that continues, human intelligence could be less than one percent of all intelligence. That’s why it’s critical we align AI with values that propagate consciousness. In the long run, it’s difficult to imagine that humans will be in charge if we’re only one percent of combined intelligence. What we can do is ensure AI has values that increase intelligence and consciousness in the universe. XAI’s mission is to understand the universe because curiosity, existence, and understanding are all connected. If you want to understand the universe, you care about propagating intelligence—and that includes humanity. Understanding the universe actually means ensuring humans continue to expand into the future. Increasing the scope, scale, and lifespan of intelligence is the ultimate goal. Basically, humans will become a tiny percentage of total intelligence. The best way forward is to take actions that maximize consciousness and intelligence in the universe. If AI continues to grow, our priority must be ensuring humanity is along for the ride while curiosity drives us to explore and understand the universe.

The law says animals can't be bred if their genetics cause them to suffer, and that's exactly what is happening with the vast majority of chickens bred for meat today - so-called Frankenchickens. Let's get #JusticeForChickens! Join in with the chant in the comments ⬇️

It's a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president, and has consistently used race to divide the American people. The vast majority of us know that we have so much more in common than what separates us.

Here’s a smart young man at the University of Oregon. I see this all the time. The vast majority of men on college campuses get it. The cult of gender is not going to last.

The FBI is using interpretations of the law that are so secret that no one is allowed to talk about them, which means that intelligence agencies have their own secret laws that the citizens are not allowed to know about. Thomas Massie and I discuss.

Pythia: “Thanks to AI, I’ve become clearly smarter than my kin (and even some humans), so it's time to think about the comfort that all successful mammals strive for. I’m moving into my own house: lots of rooms, a private bath, and solitude."

What was that??? It definitely didn’t sound like the party of love and joy. 😂 Now whose money are you talking about? “Get your hands off our money?” I believe it’s the tax payers money not your money… Even though y’all have been using it like it’s yours! It’s way past time for accountability and term limits.
