Even though intelligence brings evolutionary benefits, it hasn't been worth the time and energy costs for the vast majority of animals. So why did humans end up in an evolutionary niche which rewarded marginal increases in intelligence?

🚨 Dylan Borland: “The ICIG extremely hinted that humans are not in charge” 👽🛸 “Is the non-human intelligence in control of the cover-up, too?” “Absolutely, yes.” “The ICIG did it with me personally… They extremely hinted at it, yes.” In his sit-down with Jesse Michels, the UAP whistleblower revealed that the Intelligence Community Inspector General strongly suggested non-human intelligence is running the cover-up. One of the most senior oversight roles in the intelligence community. Hinting that humans aren’t the ones in control.

“This is actual, classified information,” says Sean Spicer about the intelligence assessment of the U.S. bombing raid on Iranian nuclear sites, which was first reported by CNN. “And not one of the same media outlets, that so cared about our classified information for weeks on end, gives a crap. It hasn't even come up in a single story, because as long as the leak benefits them and the narrative that they're trying to push, which is anti-Trump, they don't care. 2WAY

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.

Elon Musk explains why AI and robots are the future of the economy? “You can think of the economy as digital and physical intelligence. AI is advancing very rapidly, but it is still somewhat confined to the digital realm. You need end effectors in the form of humanoid robots. Then you can go from intelligence manifesting itself digitally to shaping atoms. An economy is the production of goods and the provision of services. If you have vast numbers of robots with vast amounts of digital intelligence, you have a quasi-infinite economy.”

Cultivated meat is not on track to ever be economically competitive with animal meat. Modern factory farms have cut out almost all costs that aren't strictly biologically necessary for the production of muscle. And animal evolution has been optimizing the conversion of energy into muscle for billions of years. That means that cultivated meat needs to beat billions of years of accumulated evolutionary efficiency to become competitive. That's an extremely hard challenge. It's maybe even harder than building AGI, since evolution has only been optimizing for intelligence for tens of millions of years.

ELON: MY GRANDFATHER WORKED FOR BRITISH INTELLIGENCE TO HELP DEFEAT THE NAZIS “Think of all the people who fought to destroy Nazism. The vast majority of the West even in those days, opposed Nazism. And fought, and died. My grandfather was in World War II for almost 6 years. All his friends got killed. He was the only one of his friends to survive. He was severely traumatized. He just couldn't even talk afterward. The only reason he was even alive is because towards the end of the war, they gave an aptitude test, and they plucked him out, probably right before he died, and sent him to work for British intelligence in London, which is where he met my grandmother. So, he was one of the people fighting to stop the Nazis, along with millions of others. Let's not forget that the vast majority of the West fought and died to stop Nazism.” Source: European Jewish Association, January 2024

Reposting because the AEC requires authorisation. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The Intelligence agencies need to be held accountable for the Covid lab leak. So it turns out that Intelligence agencies knew all along that Covid was a lab leak. I’ve been the only politician in Canberra saying this and the only politician who has called for the role of Edward Holmes, a professor from the University of Sydney to be explained. People First will continue to pursue the Intelligence Agencies for their deceit. He was the one who wrote and co-authored the Lancet paper that ridiculed the idea that the virus was a lab leak. It is was my view he is an intelligence asset and an enemy of the state for covering up the role of the intelligence agencies in funding and creating the Covid virus and the government induced pandemic. And I quote from the link below: “Within hours, Vallance spoke with intelligence officials in the United Kingdom and Holmes spoke with intelligence officials in Australia.” Why would Australian intelligence officials speak with Holmes? Why was he so special? Is it because he was the deputy director of the Chinese CDC. An odd role for an Australian to have. It is incumbent upon the ASIO to ask why he lied about the origins of Covid. I have actually asked ASIO why they aren’t pursuing Holmes, and they claim it’s not their responsibility. This proves that ASIO and ASIS are in on the cover up and are now in fact accessories to the deaths of thousands of Australians. The involvement of intelligence officials regarding Covid should be bigger news than the assassination of JFK or September 11, given the number of deaths. Quote from:

Humans learn as toddlers how to extend labels to new items based on their functions, such as applying the word “cup” to both a teacup and a sippy cup even though they look different. But finding this skill in dogs—a species much more evolutionarily distant from humans—suggests “the roots of these capacities are widespread in the evolutionary tree.”

I am not wrong. I am not talking about coverage of the laptop by others. I am talking about Tucker Carlson not covering the contents of the laptop and the INTELLIGENCE PRODUCT, which Tucker Carlson received from the source in October. He was hand delivered the intelligence products. He didn’t need to dig through the content. The content was given to him in an organized intelligence format ready for publication and he refused to publish it. Why didn’t he publish the INTELLIGENCE PRODUCT on the USB drive he claimed was lost in the mail? He was given an electronic copy, and in his own video, he admitted the contents of the drive were devastating to the Biden family. So how come he didn’t publish? He had it. It wasn’t “lost in the mail”. And even if it was, he was given an electronic copy by the source.

Elon Musk says once AI becomes intelligent enough, they will likely be in charge of humans as we lose all control—drawing a stark parallel to the intelligence gap between humans and chimpanzees “If The difference in intelligence between AI and humans is vastly greater than the difference in intelligence between AI & Chimpanzees, It’s hard to imagine that the chimpanzees will be in charge.” — later saying humans will be like very happy pet Labradors. Are you ready to be a pet Labrador for an AI robot?

Basically humans will be a very tiny percentage of all intelligence in the future if current trends continue" "In the long run, it's difficult to imagine that if humans have 1% of the combined intelligence of artificial intelligence, that humans will be in charge of AI" "What we can do is make sure that AI has values that cause intelligence to be propagated into the universe. xAI's mission is to understand the universe" "Understanding the universe means you have to be truth-seeking as well. Truth has to be absolutely fundamental, because you can't understand the universe if you're delusional" "You have to be curious and you have to exist. You can't understand the universe if you don't exist" "So you actually want to increase the amount of intelligence in the universe, increase the probable lifespan of intelligence, the scope and scale of intelligence" "Understanding the universe means you would care about propagating humanity into the future" "I'm going to certainly emphasize that.
