The top linked photo shows the Sun as lines, gray lines represent the cloudy days with no Sun. You can also see the car lights. Long exposure photos “pack” stretches of time. Imagine that the photos are in 3d and you can walk in them, the l

Agree, let’s build direct democratic simulated multiverse. Or at least make a digital back up of Earth. Or at least represent an LLM as a green field with objects, where humans are the only agents: you stand near a monkey, see chewing mouth

Sadly we’ll have many agent Smiths but as in the movies, without some rudimentary Matrix (it’s possible to make some good democratic one), Neo and we will have no chance against them. Agents can change our world and us, but we have limited

Game developers can potentially save the world right now, we can build the Artificial Static Place Intelligence – instead of creating AI/AGI agents that are like librarians who only give you quotes from books and don’t let you enter th

I’ll be happy to answer any questions, it’s a proposal to make a safe non-agentic AI that is a static place. Right now an agentic AI is a librarian, who has almost all the output of humanity stolen and hidden in its library that it doesn&#x

Yep, some unfinished philosophy if you're into it: you can imagine that our universe at a moment of time has is just a giant geometric shape, then at the next moment the universe somehow changes into the this new shape. How does this c

Yes, that's great, I jumped over building in my dreams a few times and it was me controlling it, I think it'll resemble some future "multiversal UI" a bit. Did it look anything like long-exposure photos? https:/&#x

Before creating “eGod”, it’s safer to first create “eHeaven”. I propose building direct-democratic multiversal static place intelligence (you can google it): the static place AI, the place of eventual all-knowing, where we are the only agen

I’m honestly shocked that we still don’t have a direct-democratic constitution for the world and AIs - something like pol.is with an x.com-style simpler UI (Claude has a constitution drafted with pol.is by a few hundred people but it's

Curious how people who are supposed to be rational, have never read what is anger (or “badness” and “evilness” as some people still call it) - the best way to do it is to read any recent meta analysis on what is the most effective anger tre

I consider thinking about the extremely long-term future important if we don't want to end up in some dystopia. The question is this: if we'll eventually have almost infinite compute what should we build? I think it's hard or

If it quacks like a duck and acts like a duck - does it matter that our LLM is not really a duck? Some people are more LLM-like when they answer your question then some LLMs :-) I consider thinking about the long-term future important if we

How can you create an all-understanding all-powerful jinn that is a slave in a lamp? Can the jinn be all-good, too? What is good anyways? What should we do if doing good turns out to be understanding and freeing others (at least as a long-t

Your catastrophizing belief is a self-fulfilling prophesy. There are quite a few safety options: law that forces AI companies to dedicate half of their compute to safety research. Tool AI idea by Tegmark instead off agentic AI. Worldwide di

I think self-worth is not a very useful concept. In my mind people with high “self-worth” demand or force others to do things for them - and that’s the definition of anger not “self-worth”. If you are willing to ask others to do things for

Good and safe fully fenced playgrounds away from cars are important - both open-air and closed for the rainy/snowy days. So a bunch of families can leave there children and even a single parent can look after them for an hour or two. C
