levin's cognitive light cone concept makes it impossible to hold the perspective that "a human could understand the goal of any posthuman AGI" people who think humans can access the total state space of objectives literally just haven't thought about how wide that range is there are entire magazines...

The fact that the universe doesn’t care about you doesn’t mean that other humans don’t care about you, or that we don’t have to care about other humans. That is, there is a purpose, there is a meaning: that is, to make people as well off as possible, to increase flourishing, to increase knowledge and life and health and freedom and safety. These are really, really meaningful. At least, I think they are. I don’t see anything wrong with them. I don’t think that that should leave you empty. And the fact that we live in a cold universe—that is, the laws of physics, the laws of biology, the behavior of viruses and bacteria and parasites and fungi—they don’t care about you. I’m sorry, they don’t care about you. And the sooner you realize that, the more you’ll be able to attend to the things that really do matter. Human Progress

Levin's new episode "Stewarding the Flame" is out just now :) The focus: At the dawn of AGI, how can we make sure that the intelligences we're conjuring will add to a FLOURISHING of the process-of-life, rather than a brute optimizer that squashes life? As we get closer to superintelligence few topics are more pressing, and few people are thinking as deeply about the nature of life and intelligence as Levin. Big takeaways: -- Humans and non-human life will have to change if it wants to persist, this happens at every scale of the living process -- There is a much wider state-space of minds that we don't understand, but we should have a better grip on how intelligence works / comes into being before we build an AGI we don't control (because it might not carry the self-creating flame of life, it might be a brute optimizer) -- Levin is overall optimistic that the process of evolution and expanding life (even in forms that we don't understand today as "life" in a bio sense) will most likely continue to bubble up and continue to flourish in forms beyond us (i.e. the process is robust, and we'd REALLY have to mess something up to knock that trajectory off course) Some of the most important parts of this episode: 00:13:17 - Why MUST you transform if you wish to persist? 00:18:50 - Where does the self-preserving, self-expanding impulse "come from" in life? 00:33:30 - What do we need to understand better in order to make AGI "go well" (not just for how it treats humans, but for its ability to expand flourishing intelligence into the future)? 00:48:33 - [A deep-dive into the Flame paradigm (the process-of-life), and the Torch paradigm (pretending homo sapiens sapiens can/should rule all possible futures in a static hominid form).] There's a TON more in here, but this is a start. I sincerely hope you enjoy this episode with Mike!

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: The Future of Energy Is Beyond Earth. "It's increasingly difficult to build power plants on the ground. There are very few people who want a power plant in their backyard, so if we wanted to say double the electricity usage of the United States, which is on average about 500 gigawatts, we would have to build, about twice as many power plants, which I don't think people are, well, most communities are not super excited about that, but actually, if we go to space, we can go far beyond the electricity generation of Earth. In fact, this is going to sound kind of crazy, but you could actually increase harnessed energy by a factor of a million and still be using much less than a millionth of the sun's energy, so current human civilization uses much less than a trillionth of the sun's energy output, which is kind of humbling to think about."

There are many people in South Africa and in the USA who are working hard to tell the world that those of us who are concerned about the future of South Africa are exaggerating, or that we are busy with some dark agenda. Our greatest task is to gather support for solutions. But to have the conversation about solutions it is important that there is certainty about what exactly the problem is that needs to be solved. As far as Lex Libertas is concerned, the crisis can be summarized under three headings: 1. A destructive policy framework; 2. Disintegration of the state; and 3. The persecution of minorities. This is why the White Cross project is so important. We must give the world credible information about exactly what is happening in South Africa.

CNN’s Kasie Hunt insists the press talking about nothing else but themselves isn’t selfish or proof they don’t care about the American people. Instead, it’s to make sure the American people understand that they *need* the “independent” press to function, and that White House reporters have zero motives, “imperatives,” or “responsibility beyond telling the truth”... “I do think it is important to underscore, and we touched on this when we talked about the Xi visit, that there may be Chinese state media available to cover that. The point, the point of all of this is not that news organizations are focused on themselves. The point is that independent, objective news organizations are there to get answers for the people who are reading and watching and seeing, because it’s the American people who deserve independent eyes and ears, eyes and ears that are not government-controlled eyes and ears. At moments of our most critical national times, and we saw that probably most saliently on September 11th, when there was a pool traveling with President Bush to see Andy Card whisper in his ear as he read to schoolchildren that the second tower had fallen — or had been hit, and that America was under attack.” “The point of having a reporter from an independent news organization traveling with the President of the United States in that moment is because that reporter has no responsibility beyond telling the truth to the American people. They have no other imperative beyond that, and people who are operating on behalf of the government as government agents, employees, et cetera., they have potentially different motives. They are potentially protecting different things. They are potentially upholding different things, whereas reporters from independent news organizations are specifically devoted. And do we sometimes fall down on the job? We are all human. We are all human. We sometimes fall down on the job, but the job — the job is to do the very best you can, the very best we can to look and see at what is happening and to tell people what is happening without fear, without favor, and without putting anything ahead of them, without putting anything ahead of thinking about what does the audience need and deserve to know about their government? Because guess what? It’s them that are making the decisions about who should run it, who should be in charge. And that is why presidents, all presidents, this President care so much — okay — about what that reporting is and how it’s presented.”

This is not about whether or not you are a fan of Aidan Kearney. This is about a state police unit that is using their power to silence someone who wanted to get the truth about the Karen Read trial out. And that is a scary world to live in if the people who are in charge with guns and badges are able to get away with that.

Rogin: It looks very likely that we're about to restart bombing of Iran. And there are a lot of reports out there that this is about to happen. And what that means is that all of the problems, not just with the US economy, with the economy of every country in the world, are about to get worse. And it means that the Iran war is going to go much longer than otherwise anticipated. And that is a disaster not just for Americans, but for all people. And then if you think about the effects on energy and then manufacturing, and then rates will continue to go up, and then inflation, it's a it's a calamity for the world economy with no strategy whatsoever.

The movie is about man’s evolution. in the closing parts of the film we begin to move beyond the limits of current human capacities of understanding - hence its surreal nature. We are able to glimpse and conceive of this area of human advancement to some extent. For example in the same way we can technically glimpse what a 4th dimensional object is through 3rd dimensional representations. it is however not able to be rendered fully by our current minds. So the movie depicts this with a long psychedelic experience that seems to mean nothing and e everything at the same time. The next stage of humanity is embodied by an enormous fetus that is larger than humanity’s homeworld. This is to both show the transcending of earth and its limitations as well as to demonstrate that this next phase is merely another beginning and not the end There is literally nothing else left that can be shown in the story of the human race - as everything beyond this point is impossible to even fathom - and the movie ends. That is my high school level description of the ending for anyone still confused

I met with participants of the Ukrainian Youth Forum “Youth Acts.” Today, our country celebrates Youth Day. Of course, for all of us, security is the first priority. But the Government must also take very specific, clear action to support all normal forms of public life in Ukraine – so that Ukrainian families, our people, our youth, and our children have a normal environment for life in Ukraine, one that is as fulfilling as possible. The renewed Government of Ukraine is now preparing the Cabinet of Ministers’ program of action, and I expect that civilian aspects of life, and youth policy in particular, will receive sufficient attention in the Government’s program. And we all understand the depth of this task – it is not simply about something the state can give, or something a person can do – independently or in cooperation within their community or with the state. It is much more than that. It is about reasons to stay in Ukraine, to live in Ukraine, to plan your own life and your family’s life in Ukraine, and to know that Ukraine will care about you and your family, about your future.

ELON: STARSHIP ISN’T ABOUT ROCKETS, IT’S ABOUT CIVILIZATION Elon’s ultimate goal with Starship is to extend human consciousness beyond a single, fragile planet. Starship is designed to make life multi-planetary, turning asteroid strikes, pandemics, or self-inflicted disasters from civilization-ending events into survivable setbacks. Every major leap in human progress looked excessive until it worked. The future doesn’t belong to civilizations that play it safe, it belongs to the ones that build redundancy for their existence. Starship is that redundancy. “The long-term survival and prosperity of life as we know it, and consciousness, which if we are a multi-planet species and ultimately a multi-stellar species out there among the stars, the probability of survival is much longer. Life cannot be just about solving one tragic problem after another. There must also be reasons to get up in the morning and be excited about the future, and a future where we are a space-faring civilization is infinitely more exciting than one where we are not.” Source: SMX 🇺🇸, Elon Musk

Emily Blunt talks about working with Steven Spielberg in "Disclosure Day": "I got a call from my agent saying Steven Spielberg wanted to meet me for his next movie. And I literally screamed. I met him in his office in Tribeca, and he pitched me a little bit of it. [...]. So, I mean, the big idea of it is that question that has sparked the fires of human imagination for years: Are we alone, or are we not alone? And if we aren't, why are the people in power hiding the truth from us? The movie is like a life-or-death race against time for those who believe the truth belongs to 8 billion people and those who believe that it doesn't and want to keep it secret. I'm sure you are now getting asked a lot about your own personal belief as to whether there are aliens or not. I think it would be arrogant for me to assume that we are alone."

There are many troubles in the world, of course, and these are important, and we need to solve them. But we also need things that make us excited to be alive, that make us glad to wake up in the morning and be fired up about the future and think the future is going to be great. Space exploration is one of those things. Becoming a space-faring civilization, being out there among the stars, this is one of the things that I know makes me glad to be alive. I think it makes many people glad to be alive. It's one of the best things. Really, we're faced with a choice: Which future do you want?

Sam Altman: “In some sense, we are about to create a genie that can grant any wish” I think the podcast streaks are typically reminiscent / foreshadowing of a new model. But for some reason the podcasters never ask them the question everyone wants to hear. Sam Goes onto mention - “I think this will be the greatest, thus far, technological achievement of human history. But the only way that it really matters is if it makes people's lives like much better than they otherwise would have been.” “Part of that is about giving people material abundance and access to do whatever they want and to express their creativity and desire to help each other. Another part of that is making sure that people maintain control and agency and that the world is increasingly not decreasingly democratized and that people get to express themselves.”

But the only way that it really matters is if it makes people's lives like much better than they otherwise would have been.” “Part of that is about giving people material abundance and access to do whatever they want and to express their creativity and desire to help each other. Another part of that is making sure that people maintain control and agency and that the world is increasingly not decreasingly democratized and that people get to express themselves.”
