Nonsense like this easily gets 6K likes. "NOBODY wants" Who does this guy think he is to speak for all of us? I want cities on Mars, humanoid robots, flying cars. We can have all these things. Having the first 4 doesn't mean we can't have the rest. People who propagate such ideas and are propagandizing the public against tech progress don't deserve to enjoy the fruits of the very progress they actively fought against. The irony is that these people will enjoy the benefits of AI, advanced medicine, longevity treatments (we need a lot of extra intelligence - AI, some of it in space, to solve aging), robotics, and abundance, even though they actively opposed the progress that made those things possible. Robots are one of the most crucial elements needed to achieve abundance faster. Why do I think that even a simple tweets like this aren't "innocent" and can have real consequences? Here's just one example. A mayor of some random city in the US, who hasn't given much thought to the subject, reads it. Then he or she see more similar tweets(algo will feed more similar anti AI messages and anti AI misinfo), and eventually tis person decide to block the construction of a data center near their town. That data center will ultimately be built somewhere else, but valuable time will be wasted. The additional intelligence it could provide will come online later. And intelligence coming online later means problems getting solved later instead of sooner. That's why this stuff matters.

Terence Tao sees where this is going and is already adapting to the new AI era of math. "We're seeing the end of the romantic era of mathematics, the age of heroes. We're moving into an industrial era where math becomes large scale, done in big teams like the other sciences"

The world is getting weirder and more amazing every week. With accelerating progress (and ASI), we will have flying cars everywhere (real/proper flying cars, not drones pretending to be cars) by the 2030s. The only thing that could prevent this, would be regulations. But the technology will be there. With SpaceX tech, Tesla can do it.

Flying cars are finally coming. This concept wouldn't work with people manually controlling the thrust and flight. That's why the technology was out of reach for so long. But with advanced AI (pilot) already here and ASI coming soon, flying cars could finally become practical and safe. We're not there yet, but seeing Tesla progress (plus exponentially improving AI) we can easily have them by 2030s.

Evergreen reminder: Almost everything is noise: people being mean to you online, political drama, doom and gloom headlines and stories dominating in media/on YT. All of this will be forgotten. As we become more advanced and wealthier as a civilization, entering the era of post scarcity/abundance era (which I believe is right around the corner), I think most people will "chill out". I think most of the stress in the world today is still rooted in financial/health problems. There are other causes too, but financial worries are a huge part of it. "Money" and abundance really will make people happier. Add to that science advanced enough to treat all diseases, including aging. All mental illnesses will be treatable. I believe the amount of nonsense and “evil” in the world will decrease as time goes on. The future will be better. These are just a few reasons why it's worth holding on. Better (way better) times are coming.

AI is reaching new thresholds each week, proving its massive value already (and we're still early), and yet we're seeing a massive sell off in AI related stocks. It's like people don't believe in further progress or think this is the peak of AI capabilities? Really strange market behavior.

Every piece of software and every game will be reverse engineered/decompiled by AI. The era of gatekeeping is coming to an end. What’s even crazier is that games and software will come first, and then this can move into engineering and design. What I mean is that every hardware product will somehow be reverse engineered by AI down to the last screw. It will simply look at pictures/videos (+your description), and know/understand how something works, know how to build something similar and functional, and give you a detailed blueprint for how to produce it, which components are needed and how to piece them together. It won't be an exact copy if you don't provide detailed data, but it will work. People will be mixing existing hardware ideas, and 1000s of startups will mushroom all over the world. It will be 100x easier to create a hardware startup/new complex product than it is today.
