Doom from SI or some kind of “everyone enters the Matrix” utopian-dystopian outcome would be the ultimate victory of materialism and nihilism over humanity and might logically follow as inevitable under these metaphysical assumptions.
anyone still holding on tightly to the materialist framework of reality is gonna have an extremely disorienting time over the next few years

Cyborg Theocracy : "we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday"
this might be my last normal tweet before biotech goes vertical i'm not a whistleblower. I don't work at Lilly, Novo or any of the big labs but there is a massive shift happening in human biology right now. it's sitting in press releases and almost nobody reads them the last 6 months alone: - a once-daily pill roughly doubled median survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs 6.6 months) - a one-time gene editing infusion cut hereditary angioedema attacks 87%, and 62% of patients stayed attack-free and off all other prevention for 6 months - a one-time gene edit for cholesterol dropped LDL up to 62%, and it held for over a year - a personalized mrna vaccine beat keytruda alone in a 1,137 patient melanoma phase 3 - retatrutide hit ~28% weight loss in a phase 3 - an ai-designed drug entered phase 3 - a pill that regrows hair passed its second phase 3 - an immunotherapy that could let some rectal cancer patients skip surgery, chemo and radiation just got fda approved - a man lived 271 days off dialysis on a pig kidney - human cells were caught passing chromosome-sized chunks of DNA to their neighbors, and it changes how the neighbors behave we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday stick around, it's going to get weird bio/acc

This is such a bleak story about what it's like to try to land a job right now. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

Did science really kill God? The Enlightenment tells us atheism is the logical result of science: after Copernicus, Newton and Darwin, belief simply lost its credibility. Tomer Persico, author of “In God's Image”, says that story is a delusion. Drawing on thinkers from Voltaire to Nietzsche, he argues that atheism's rise in the West owes less to science than to religious values it has never escaped.

B/c of the Cyborg Theocracy it is easier for us to imagine the end of all life on earth than to imagine a modest change in our economic order.

you are just in time to stop believing in intelligence
OpenAI has announced to three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics: - Local smoothing and the Kakeya conjecture - The Exponential Time Hypothesis is false - Existence of quantum chromodynamics and completions of the Standard Model

It’s sad how many of the people who see the decline of Western civilization fall back into Christianity. To me, Christianity feels like a psy-op designed over millennia to satisfy the craving to submit. And “noble” lies are what got us into this mess; only truth can get us out.

There are no technological solutions to perennial human difficulties. This includes our present-day political technologies.

Put AI in my blood. Replace my neurons one by one. No brakes. Writing and arithmetic were detours through grain and cattle accounting. We can now speak to intelligence itself and build worlds through conversation. Humanity returns to oral tradition, with the universe talking back

I think it’s safe to say at this point that the average software engineer spends more time talking to Claude than talking to the opposite sex. I’d wager to say the ratio is at least 3:1 in favor of Claude. Definitely nothing to balk at for the rest of society at large.

For months, everyone has been talking about Peter Thiel’s secretive Antichrist lectures in Nashville. @gb_rango attended all four off-the-record lectures, held inside the historic Grand Lodge of Tennessee Free and Accepted Masons. Now, with Thiel’s blessing: a comprehensive, firsthand reconstruction of his sprawling theory of the end times, from AI doomers and one-world government to the fate of America. piratewires.com/p/inside-pet…

Peter Thiel is worried about the Antichrist. For the last four Mondays, he held court for the latest of his lectures on that subject in, of all places, Nashville, Tennessee. @carsonjbecker reports on the lectures, the crowd, and the scenes that unfolded in Nashville.

Determinism in its most distilled form is the subconscious yearning to return back to the world of Eden from before the fall, where one need never to decide because all possible decisions have already been made for you.

Of course, but evidence has degrees of confidence and I merely seek to climb. ARPA almost funded her work and was no doubt tracking it. It seems plausible that she helped turn the funding back on. 3 years ago I listened to McCarthy telling McCorduck in his '74/75 interviews. I claimed, against the whole AI field and all its history tellers, that he wasn't the first to use the term in the modern sense. A couple months ago I found that was indeed the case (Hamilton, Moon of the Unforgotten, 1951). This, and all of my research, has left me confident that the history of AI, cybernetics (aka teleology) and computing science in general is possible poor. I'll see what I find.

Zoomers see the boomer fascination with giving and talking about directions, even when everyone has Google maps, as insane. But boomers aren't talking about street names and traffic for cartography sake. They do it to form bonds, establish locality, create shares language. The Boomer urge to tell you what side street to take this time of day is them trying to for mind meld with you. Like it or not? It's the vestigial limb of an ancient bonding strategy which zoomers and even millennials have lost access too to their detriment. It's the tip of the iceberg of social rituals that previously held societies together and which the boomers intentionally dissolved once they used it to establish themselves.
