What would you do with so much money? At his level, he doesn't just spend or give away a pile of money, he is somewhat like a force of nature: he controls and directs a significant portion of the money stream in the world. Think of wha

That's how AI is going to fuse countries together. People will be gradually outsourcing various functions of their governments to a few AIs, until one day they will realise that nearly everything on the planet is managed by AI, using t

The copyright cartel is going to lose because it represents the dying old world order of many competing enclaves. AI isn't just a sloppy text generator, it's the new ideology of forced uniformity that permits no boundaries. So no

LLMs are about to enable fake digital personas, digital replicas, that the user can interact with. These will be used for self-improvement (digital coach, etc.) and for self-destruction (interactive porn, etc.). The latter is amoral, but le

At a glance, this looks like a bunch of coupled oscillators. A natural extension of this idea is strings: a 1d array of oscillators modelling a wave equation. For example, a piano sound can be modelled by attaching a basic oscillator to one

Imagine a fake engineer who read books about engineering as scifi, and thanks to his superhuman memory, he's mastered the engineer-speak so well that he sounds more engineery than top engineers in the world. Except that he has no clue
