Future Timeline

Kurzweil is looking and sounding noticeably frailer now. I don't think he has much longer left. https://youtu.be/pGNweUleVVE Sad to see it's like his ageing a year every 3 months, mind you there are some people such as Noam Chomsky who look like they are at deaths door but just keep going on past n...

The existence of this video signifies to me that AI is now a mainstream topic amongst young people. (ignore dislike ratio it's due to some youtube drama or something.) Imagine being in 2014 and finding out that in 2024 we would have normal youth debating over AGI on a mainstream YouTube channel. Hon...

To define proper full immersion virtual reality (let me know if you have a better name) I mean you are able to live an entire lifetime in a virtual world that feels exactly like modern earth where you can't tell the difference. I strongly suspect that as we have lived our lives on this planet the mo...

If you accept the premise our brain is basically a computer doing what it thinks is best I don't think choice exists.
Choice would be more like an illusion when you reflect on memories and try to improve your rate of learning by thinking "what would happen if I did X instead of Y"

Futurism wise AGI is basically the only thing I care about I think by now it is very logical to expect it and even singularity type communities will not be seen as mentally insane by the general public. It's the only thing I really care about as it's very likely that ether we will all be screwed or ...

NGL looks fun, but I swear some of these parkour type people are taking 1/1000 risks multiple times a week which adds up really really quick
