You’re right CERN is nothing like OpenAI because the private sector has no use for knowing what a Higgs boson is. But they do have parents https://patents.justia.com/assignee/cern

By law in most countries they are required to license and lease out these things to the private sector. They can’t do patent sitting to sniffle the private sector. So whatever they figure out would be required to go into for profit hands

The government frequently licenses technology they fund to the private sector. It’s the whole point.

Because once the power comes, so does the money and corrupting influence on humans

Google has already solved the protein folding side of things... But it's going to require quantum computers with AI that's going to see that crazy explosion. Most people aren't aware how much qc will change things. But basically, allow for novel biomedical drug simulation at scale to brute force almost instantly new drugs that do whatever we want.

The AI will create little jobbies where we just go to the Jobbie Tree and pluck ourselves a new AI job.

LOL... I'm sure it'll stay that way. Just like "Open"AI

"LOL, k. NOT!" - OpenAI, probably.

Yeah, that's probably not possible. Pandora's box is open and there is no closing it.

Her does a great job at building up to the transcendence of AI post singularity. Where it's just so far advanced that it just becomes this foreign abstract intelligent being just existing in the digital aether which we can't even comprehend any longer.

The whole underlying theme of "cookies" completely fucks with my head. It's a concept I explored under a heavy dose of DMT, then watching it in the show just leads me down rabbits holes of thought.

But the concept that we can just create infinite instances of someone's consciousness and artificially simulate it is just such a wild thing to think about. The applications, the horrors, the benefits, the philosophical implications. To me, that's the most profound.

I know a company who's currently training and tuning a model from their sales call center. They are transcribing all their sales calls and rating their quality, then using these to fine tune the model. In return, sales people will have dynamic scripts that are optimized based on 10s of thousands of successful sales calls, to know exactly what to say.

People were against WWII. A ton of people were. Anti war means “don’t get involved with wars that have no threat to the country”. Some anti war would argue war in Europe involved is indirectly because it could bleed into the USA once we found out Germany allied with Mexico in secret.

But I don’t get what you don’t get with the term anti war. It literally means against war. Not just “against starting wars” but against all wars. Not just “wars fought for money” but all war. Anti war. Not, anti profiteering war.

Also if you think the war in Ukraine is being supported by the USA for purely moral and ethical reasons I got a bridge to sell you. It’s entirely about geopolitical reasons. Tons of natural gas and strategic points next to Russia. If the USA cared about the ethics and morals of a “justified war” there are 2 of them right now we’d also be heavily involved in. Turkey is about to invade Syria. You don’t see us mounting a defense against Turkey lol because it has no geopolitical importance.

Regardless. Anti war means anti war. It means you don’t support war, full stop. And you’re a perfect example of what I mean by the left taking some drastic turns over the last decade.

I don't think you understand what anti-war means. It doesn't mean "Only supporting wars abroad when it serves our geopolitical interest". Vietnam was also about "stopping the bad guys". So was Korea, and a countless number of them.

Anti war, means ANTI WAR. It's pretty simple actually.

Man, watching Reddit sound like Koch brothers whenever it comes to "corporate rights" when the free speech or deplatforming topic comes up sounds weird. The blind trust in anything and everything the government and big pharma said surrounding the pandemic was really really weird. And now suddenly the "anti war" left, who used to be non interventionalists, suddenly ALL IN on funding Ukraine to the bitter end, nuclear war be damned, has completely knocked me off my rocker. I have no idea what happened to the counter culture, but it sure as hell isn't on the left.

The most "counter culture" I see, is obsession over gender pronouns and frustration with capitalism.

I miss when the counter culture was tough and bad ass... Today's young counter culture are more concerned with feelings and trusting the government institutions. It's so fucking weird. Are young Republicans the new counter culture?
