Do you think we actually exist?

The information bubbles strengthen

AWS Bedrock seems to say the inference code is only scanned for CASM and no one trains on your data.

Are all people with physical access to the servers or network access to the hosts guaranteed to be US persons? Are all physical and network accesses logged for audits? That's the kind of thing govcloud promises that export control auditors want to see.

I felt like "Confidential Compute" tech could solve this issue once and for all but I'm not so sure after seeing some of the attacks people can do with physical access.

Another option of course is to not use cloud at all and have your own rack in a locked room with a good security system and/or armed US person guards.

I know those pesky workers and people without capital are so annoying asking for Healthcare and consumer protections... I wish they just worked for the billionaire oligarchs without compliant.

Read some Denial of Death and pick an immortality project that won't cause undue suffering

Make it breakdown to automatic tiktok/youtube short videos

That's a really cool idea. Can you elaborate?

Yeah info arbitrage, dense info -> byte size -> let the algorithm figure out who wants it

Will Frankensteins monster be conscious?

Do you think its possible to have an all knowing Ai that if there was only 1, and everyone Brian dumped every night into it and the training loop would consider every stakeholder, it could better process it to formulate policies favorable to everyone?

They could definitely model life/mental thought trajectories if any significant thought gets spit into the chat

Yeah read Software and Mind by Andrei Sorin

> The mechanistic myth is the belief that everything can be described as a neat hierarchical structure of things within things. And few of us realize that our entire culture is based on this fallacy. While the world consists of complex, interacting structures, we prefer to treat every phenomenon as a simple, isolated structure.

> Through our software pursuits, the mechanistic myth has spread beyond its academic origins, and is now affecting every aspect of human existence. In just one generation, it has expanded from worthless theories of mind and society (behaviour- ism, structuralism, universal grammar, etc.) to worthless concepts in the field of programming (structured programming, object-oriented pro- gramming, the relational database model, etc.) to worthless software-related activities that we all have to perform.

> What is worse, our mechanistic beliefs have permitted powerful software elites to arise. While appearing to help us enjoy the benefits of software, the elites are in fact preventing us from creating and using software effectively. By invoking mechanistic software principles, they are fostering ignorance in software-related matters and inducing dependence on their systems.

> Increasingly, in one occupation after another, all we need to know is how to operate some software systems that are based on mechanistic principles. But our minds are capable of non- mechanistic knowledge. So, when the elites force us to depend on their software, they exploit us in two ways: by preventing us from creating better, non-mechanistic software; and by preventing us from using the superior, non-mechanistic capabilities of our minds.

> The ultimate consequence of our mechanistic culture, then, is the degradation of minds. If we restrict ourselves to mechanistic performance, our non-mechanistic capabilities remain un- developed. The world is becoming more and more complex, yet we see only its simple, mechanistic aspects. So we cope perhaps with the mechanistic problems, but the complex, non-mechanistic ones remain unsolved, and may eventually destroy us.

Wow, I'm immediately hooked. The book is free online as well to download.

I wish he went on a podcast

Yes, same.

I wonder if he would go on Lex or something.
