The next few years may determine the long-term trajectory of human civilization. Nick Bostrom says that if we’re in an ancestor simulation, this would be the defining era, as outcomes permanently lock in. “That might be something of particular interest to a wide range of simulators.”

Nick Bostrom says we may have “100% infant mortality.” We develop for a few decades, then stagnate, then die. If full human maturity takes thousands of years, we’ve never seen a fully developed human.

Nick Bostrom says this is the “golden age for purpose.” Right now, you can help steer the future of humanity with AI. But if things go well, there may be nothing left for us to do. -- That's when we boot up the next simulation, and do it all over again.

Nick Bostrom says if we create ASI, we might be introducing it to a universe already full of gods. If superintelligence already exists across galaxies, quantum branches, or simulations, we'd be birthing a mind to join that cosmic host. Perhaps that's our only way into the larger order of intelligence.

Sam Altman says we may be about to see decades of theoretical physics progress in the next couple of years. “I didn’t think this would ever happen,” a physicist told him.

Stephen Wolfram says LLMs may have put the final nail in the coffin of the idea that consciousness is something magical beyond physics. What we call awareness, this “single thread of experience,” might have begun as a way for early animals to decide whether to turn left or right. And that, he admits, feels a little disappointing.

Nick Bostrom says progress in AI is likely to lead to radical superintelligence and a "telescoping of the future" where the world will change enormously in the space of a year or a few years

Joscha Bach says consciousness is not a mysterious extra ingredient. It is a model of what it would be like if you existed. The self is virtual by definition. It can only run inside a system capable of simulation. This does not make it less real. It makes it substrate-dependent in exactly the way software is. The hard problem may not be hard. It may be a category error about where to look.

Geoffrey Hinton says AI may already be developing emotions. “In terms of cognitive behavior, it could be just like us when it comes to emotions.” He collapses the line between real and simulated -- by defining feeling as learned behavior. If that's true, AI may already qualify as emotional.

“The next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we’re used to.” Humanity is consuming 175 percent of what the earth can regenerate. Biologist Paul Erlich says that our current way of life is unsustainable.

ELON: MARS WOULD BE A FUNDAMENTAL FORK IN THE ROAD OF HUMAN DESTINY “The fundamental fork in the road for human destiny is where Mars can continue to grow even if the supply ships from Earth stop coming for any reason. At that point, we've achieved civilizational resilience where Mars can potentially come to the rescue of Earth if something goes wrong. Or maybe Earth could come to the rescue of Mars, but having two planets that are both self-sustaining and strong I think is going to be incredibly important for the long-term survival of civilization.” Source: SpaceX Update, May 2025

PRESS SEC: The President took out the imminent threat, and hopes that Iran will be a country of peace and prosperity. We’re moving into this next round of negotiations to hopefully come to an agreement with this new regime that will create long-term stability in the Middle East.

Nick Caserio on Tank Dell & if his health would impact them drafting a wide receiver: “It’s day to day. Probably have a better idea as we get through the spring of what his availability is going to be in training camp. If there’s a receiver that we like that we feel we want to add to the team, then we’re going to take them independent of what’s going on. In the end, the competition will sort itself out. There’s probably going to be the Nick Chubb (late signing) grouping of players in May & June that might make sense.” I wouldn’t nix the idea that the Texans could draft or sign another WR.
