People love money and so they're willing to do a lot in pursuit of singular goals like merging biology and silicon into a technological god. Only problem is getting enough cash to actually achieve the mission. As a member of the techno

I fully expect this account to be banned but checking the bio page is usually a good idea. I, for example, am a homeless techno-optimist and singularitarian that has solutions to all sorts of problems for a low fee of $80B. My solutions inv

You are probably unfamiliar with my account. I am working on an absurdist art project based on capitalism and techno-optimism but I appreciate your comment. Sarcasm and irony are hard to detect with just text.

This is the power of collective techno-optimism. China is a country of techno-optimists and that is why they are so far ahead of everyone with their deployment of AI tools and engineered environments. They are truly ahead of the curve when

AI can also detect cows but this is a much better use case of drones. They can train the drones to drop grenades on land mines and clear everything in no time. I can make this happen Elon, all I need is $80B.

Techno-optimism has a solution for this and it's wood made from plastic trees. I only need $80B to make it happen. Ball is in your court Marc so it's your move. I am homeless so comment here to make the deal. I can build an AI sys

Humanity is running straight towards extinction and techno-optimism, which basically requires merging with computers, is our only hope. For anyone interested in merging with machines, Sam Altman has a post explaining why it is inevitable, i

I'm not but a lot of people are living in simulations of one sort or another. If your information diet is algorithmic then you are essentially living in a simulation. I recommend going outside and taking a stroll around your neighborho

Really? Oh wow, I did not know that. I thought all languages with recursion and loops were Turing complete. Are you saying there is some kind of difference between C and Python as far as what programs can be written in them or is this somet

This is not absurd at all. People worship much worse things all the time and no one worries about it, e.g. scientology.

I have an idea for a great AI project and it's about finding the first logical inconsistency in an argument about a formal system like an LLM. I think if OpenAI can deliver that then I will believe they have achieved AGI. I am a techno

Oh, that's much worse. Hopefully they figure out how to get rid of these pigs as soon as possible. We don't have super soldiers yet so if the pigs get there before us it will be very embarrassing. We are supposed to be the smartes

The merger of biology and silicon is very near. If you join the techno-optimist movement then you can bring it to fruition much faster. Ask Marc Andreesen how you can help, he is the main proponent of this new social movement and has even w

Most people do not know their neighbors so this makes sense. If you don't interact with someone frequently enough to actually know them then it's unlikely you will notice if they are gone for a week or two and at that point they w

I don't do marketing for YC but Paul Graham does so you'd have to ask him about how they deal with such situations. My comment is just my opinion.
