In my architecture everyone is treated equally like an idiot so there are no haves and have not because the machine god treats all people the same and provides for all their needs within the "panoptic computronium cathedral"™.

This is a great idea. Banking and social media are meant to be together like peanut butter and jelly.

You can inspect their hypervisor code and verify the host kernel can not access the VM after creation but if you are running as root then you can obviously inspect whatever process is under host/hypervisor control.

We are in a recession but I can solve this recession and all future ones for $80B.

No problem. Cool site, very minimalist.

They don't. They say things like "infinite resources for everyone" and "compute/electricity too cheap to meter" and so on and so forth. I have distilled the techno-optimist manifesto down to what it actually lo

I think $80B is very cheap because the outcome is going to be a technological utopia. Honestly, I think my price is a bargain deal for the inhabitants of Earth.

It accounted for inflation, Trumponomics, Bidenomics, and regular economics. I trust the number, it feels right to me.

I did the numbers already using a small LLM and it said the real number is $80B and no ponies.

The main assumption of techno-optimism is that a large enough computer can do anything people can do and it can do it better. The goal of techno-optimism is to create a mechanical god that will rule the planet and scaling LLMs is a stepping

The way safety is handled in real world situations is through legal and monetary incentives. If the tanker you are driving to the gas station blows up then people get fired (no pun intended) and face legal repercussions. This is the case fo

Consider the alternative of a planet full of sentient beings who do not want to destroy their home. Now realize that this is not the case and UN climate talks will make absolutely no difference to all the lemmings manning the mechanical app

Money is just a token based game and Elon operates above it. I wasn't being charitable but simply stating the obvious. In a multi-planetary civilization, which is his stated goal, every one of his companies is a necessary piece of the

This is not true. Lots of things have no mathematical foundations because it is impossible to state them formally/symbolically. If you can not specify it formally then it is not mathematics. AI is mathematics because software/code

Corporations have a goal, profit maximization, so we can claim that corporations are just like paperclip maximizers but instead of paperclips the corporate machine is taking natural resources and converting it into money. But in any event,

It's called direct memory access. The CPU doesn't have to do all I/O. Any subsystem can access RAM with DMA. The main issue is scheduling the loads, stores, and arithemtic operations to avoid stalling the pipeline.

This is very clever. Now I'm wondering if someone has looked into optimal partitions and instruction streams. This would allow, in theory, to run any AI graph locally by partitioning the graph and loading it one piece at a time. But an

Specialized programs create specialists. Gifted kids need good social foundations and Montessori schools are better than regular schools in basically all ways for gifted children.

It's better to work on AGI because it will solve all those fields as a corollary to its main function of being a self-perpetuating technological system. Any such system will need the listed functions especially if it operates on a plan

Montessori schools are good for kids like that. They can hang out with both older and younger peers there and develop their talents.

Look at job listings and use AI to map each listing to a tech stack and then do some arithmetic to group similar stacks. I can do this for $80B and a legal training set.
