You can still see there is a massive leap from current AI ---> replacing humans (job wise/ intellegince). Huge.

@something_else but are they at the stage they can do that, without needing a lot of oversight? As much resources to oversee that might have gone toward doing the tasks? It may finish quick, but how much time and resources go to checking it all? Agentic AI being able to run autonomously I am interested in, but I haven't seen anything to indicate it is anywhere near that level yet. Or seen a decent trajectory for when. I don't see a list of pure capabilities outside of the context of real world use as supplying much to forward the argument it will replace a human intelligence without the oversight. I won't buy any sort of future predictions as being close to accurate until I see AI being able to coherently interact with 3D reality and space and operate in conjunction with robotics. I'd love to see a huge list of tangeable examples of real application. Not nebulous capabilites. Also sort of interested in what you work with? What sort of agentic AI do you use and how is it giving you results that are shortcutting resources? Or is this from external sources?

From "dumb as a rock" --> job done is such a fucking massive logical and technological leap! Where is that happening, what sort of timelines, who's job, how is it going to happen? None of this is mapped yet. So as far as I see, this is just fantasy thinking. Might happen. Might not. A fart in the wind.

If you want to claim AI is more intelligent than large % of the population - you better come to the party with what you base that on, and your reasoning... Otherwise it comes across as not understanding human intelligence in the slightest. An LLM cannot even grasp what a sphere is in our dimensional experience. The language doesn't even translate in the slightest.

@Elliott I think a genuine case could be made for non LLM AI that is involved in machine learning for science/medical research, sifting through massive datasets, solving protein folding issues etc. AI trained for specific tasks. I think your point is more directed toward consumer level LLM AI, though? Which I think a large swaith of the population do not actively interact with, just passively use in way to outsource thinking. There's a lot of passive AI use eating resources. It's a tool, but a tool being abused. Access is just insane at the moment. Shitloads of people I know use it to output some crap they deem as smart, they get to claim they participated in creating - and feel accomplished.

This was my guess also - I don't have autoimmune gastritis, but. I think you mentioned you do? I think both are linked. I am just as surprised as you he hasn't gone toward looking into Hashimoto's also. Maybe it's to come?

@AION I dunno man, imagine if one of us fed your image into a generator and made all manner of crude images. It's in poor taste. Arguing a case & presenting evidence - fair game. Generating images in someone's likeness to make fun of them is sorta cruel imo

"It's all an act" It's easy to see this is a legitimate plausible deniability tactic. Being a high profile social media content creator it's going to serve multiple functions to Conners benefit. It's a way to preemptively manage social media backlash, and emphasises behaviour (the act) to distance himself from responsibility. I think this tactic was used as well actual mental health behaviour issues manifesting in real time. "It's all an act" is an manipulation tactic and way to manage his reputation to preserve relationships. It also quells those who may genuinely be concerned - preventing someone from intervening and attempting to genuinely help this poor man. Overall I think he was mentally ill behind the thin vaneer of performance.

I know this feel. RIGHT IN THE FEEL

Just wanted to reach out and let you know - you aint' alone. While I haven't been through what you have directly - in all its unique configurations - I have had to face what you describe following a caustic relationship. A relationship that forced to me to really peer into how I was contributing to dynamics with people and inviting those into my life (after also assessing that these patterns were now unwanted, unneeded, and now holding me back). I had reached a stage where I had learned what I needed to from the cyclical engagement - the message was finally received. This was peak 'insanity' in terms of the dynamic I was attracting. It was a subtle pattern I had to live out - that became louder and louder - until it was screaming with enough intensity my bones, sinew, nerves, mind and SOUL all riled in terror: STOP! Regarding romantic relationships - I went through a period of refraction. I wanted it all, uncompromisingly. I had a list of things I would NEVER tolerate. But my list of wants, for one person to shoulder, was too great. I relinquished this. I am now happy to not need it all from one partner. I don't mind the flaws, the fragility. The vulnerability. The non-perfection. They don't have to tick all the boxes. I relish in the imperfection now - because I accept my own. I just love having someone to eat up the richness of shared experience and friction it creates. Like the fire now, the winds of chaos and uncertainty of being with another in intimacy energise me - spread and enhance the fire and passion. The wind doesn't knock me down any longer. I fullfil my needs through close community and intimate non-romantic relationships, and quiet reflective solitude. A small, rock solid circle of mates, family I don't need one person to be it all.

Go see what Bryan Johnson's shit is all about. His biohacking health shit ain't just that. That is the easily digestible front. It's about living long enough to birth AGI, let it take over and live exactly by its dictation and algorithm so it takes us to transhumanism, immortality and beyond. Look up his 'Don't Die' dinners where he introduces celebs and figureheads to the idea and presents it as 'life changing philosophy' to let AGI take control. He wants an AI God - and all tech moguls appear to be in cahoots with him (he was also on Peter Thiels secret society "Dialog" list leak recently). Weird stuff.

@integral Holy fuck I am so sorry - if I lost my current dog (I've lost 3 to HORRIBLE deaths, HORRIBLE shit that was preventable) I would be gutted. I'd probably have to take some time off work. My heart goes out to you! My condolences, my hugs, my thoughts - they are yours. I will spend some time thinking of you on my midday walk + music. /HUG /AoE crit heals

No. His new mission is just to cure the new diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis. He has had thyroid issues and a Hashimoto's diagnosis for over 20 years. The whole time he has been doing Blueprint + a proponent of the protocol he has been taking thyroid medication. He hasn't made any attempt to hide this, he just never brings it up when he is peddling his narrative. I dislike how he feeds into the narrative the biohacking space follows regarding compartmentalising health (or, he does nothing to dispel this myth). It is about balance, homeostasis and holism. An entire system. I have Hashimoto's, so I wish he devoted more resources to curing it! I do find a lot of benefit in his recent investigation and diagnosis of endometriosis in his gf Kate Tolo (who he actively lied about being with for years, Kate was complicit in this facade also). The focus on women's health in general (and Biohacker space) is good. I am obsessed with Bryan lol. I find his pathology fascinating. Can't wait until he goes final form and creates a Bryan-centric replacement for his long lost love affair with organised religion (ex-Mormon)
