This is not merely my opinion, but that of knowledgable AI researchers, many of whom place ASI at not a simple remote possibility, but something they see as almost inevitable given our current understanding of the science. I don't see

Slowing AI development by even one month is essentially infinite slowness in terms of superintelligence development. It's a kill-shot, a massive policy success. Lost months are lost exponentially and it becomes impossible to catch up.

AI seems to explain this better than as framed: >...the body of the article doesn’t describe a panel of physicians making predictions at all. The headline says “AI fares better than doctors,” but the text says the model outperformed “ris

Quantum computing research feels like one of those things whose greatest effort would likely be classified research. In fact, you could argue the article in the OP looks like well-poisoning based on the author's conclusions.

This is the genetic forebear of what we have today, a congenially disguised infection of the essence that has set man against man. People who vehemently disagree are supposed to and should have open dialogue, not elaborate letters of viscer

If the government requires the ability to arbitrarily spy on anyone at will to exist (which they have, the encryption thing is mostly retrospective and unwillingness to use/reveal the bigger guns in large public cases), we are probably

Yes, there is medicine for negative thinking that helps to various degrees (SSRIs do work), but they have issues and unfortunately we don't have any magic bullets.

I mean very simply: a highly secretive project that explores new physics for some radical new, destructive technology. It's interesting that everyone here is talking about mundane technologies or technologies that stem from a project t

1. It is trivial to "falsify" unexplained UAP. Simply provide a credible explanation, or say they're explained. In fact, president Obama did the opposite, and confirmed that they aren't explained or explicable. Our gover

I'm trying to soft-land you on this but this is specifically because you don't know and haven't been curious about it, not because there isn't any evidence. Nobody denies David Grusch is exactly who he says he is with th

I'm going to address your hypothesis of "unknown technologies". It's something that widely seems credible but really isn't. These phenomena have been documented, in-depth, for many, many decades. Credible sources no
