I don't think anyone knows. It's all just guess-work. AGI could be 5 years away, or 50 years away, or 500 years away. Or maybe computers will never be able to do it. I don't know. If AGI happens, you should expect bad shit to happen. I don't mean that AI will hurt us. I mean humans will eat each other alive. So I am hoping AGI will not happen soon. Our political situation is not mature enough for something so serious. The bubble popping is the best case scenario here. Look, in the end, your guess is as good as mine. On this AI topic I have no particularly special position to speak from, like I do on the topic of God. Mostly I just want to avoid losing a bunch of money in a hype cycle.

That is not happening with current chatbot. Only if AGI.

Well, Hallelujah.

Correction: I had the bottle, but looks like I threw it out at some point. I decided not to use it. You never know. It might do more harm than good.

The situation is that I do research more than coaching.

I have a bottle of liquid gold on my shelf.

Okay, but if everyone can do that, it has very little value. Anything that's easy becomes worthless in business. The market will get flooded with mediocre AI slop creations. Why would they be worth anything? Today you still have an edge because AI is so new that 99% of people don't know how to use it yet. But in 10 years every fool will be using it to create slop. I don't think you guys quite appreciate how serious this value-add issue is. If AI can truly do what humans do, then humans have no value-add, which means humans are no longer necessary. You better hope for your sake that AI cannot replace you. Because if it can, you're as good as dead. Not because it will kill you, but because you are useless. If you think that you will get to be useless and still survive, you're kidding yourself. Useless things don't survive for long. Do you really think these billionaires care about helping useless things survive?

He was giving you the wrong chemical You can't trip balls on gold.

Correction: Earlier in this thread I said the gold EFT is called GDX. That was a mistake. It is called GLD.

Did you become a Jedi?

The problem I find with using AI to do creative work is that you end up wasting way too much time trying to get the AI to create what you want, and it never really creates what you truly wanted. But you wasted 10 hours fiddling with the knobs. By the time you invested 10 hours into it, you're hooked. But it isn't really creating what you wanted. Such a process is the death of creativity and spirit. Rather than being truly creative and skillful, you are just manipulating knobs to get half-assed approximations of something good. Using AI is almost like gambling. At least that's the case for image generation. It takes hours of trial and error just to create one usable image.

Interesting. I hope it's worth it.

You can eat and drink gold. What is the problem with injecting it?

It costs $2+ per query.

To be fair, you can probably use cheap Chinese models. But that doesn't bode well for US tech stocks. I don't think cost is the true problem. The true problem is lack of AGI. Costs will go down for sure. But AGI is unlikely to magically materialize.

That was death as a function of mystical state, not a physical danger. But yes, psychedelics can be physically dangerous.

Well, when you have to pay the true unsubsidized cost of AI tokens out of your wallet, you might discover it is cheaper to code by hand.

Fine. But the market has priced in vibe coding as AGI. So prepare your butt for a crash.

Women are attracted to God.

This is a multi-decade project and you still have much of the old material to master.

Well, I have and best is yet to come.

He started as a drug addict. He did many drugs in reckless ways. His problem is not psychedelics but addiction in general.

That's just not true. Many people have used them responsibly. Terrence McKenna, Dennis McKenna, Martin Ball, Joe Rogan, Bernardo Kastrup, and many others who you just don't know because this is a niche and taboo field.

@Natasha Tori Maru It is a struggle to understand Reality in ways no one else does. It is similar to building a brand new technology when everyone tells you its impossible. Then, once you do it, everyone says, "That was obvious."

And that has been plenty disclosed too. There is never enough disclaimers for fools. This work cannot be fool-proof. You can't talk a reckless person out of being reckless.
