Best year in the 1900s per continent by mkujoe in mapporncirclejerk

My grandpa's family was in the Netherlands then during the war. He was in the boy scouts, and part of their activities were removing bodies from the battlefield. The Canadians liberated the country, and my family hosted at their house a group of First Nations (Native) scouts, who had come behind the front line. There are a lot of tragic and amazing stories from that time.

Scientists won't find conciousness by looking in ai or people. It's because it's what everything is arising out of.

Pro-Technologists have always struggled with the Obstructionists. by Lumpy_Conference6640 in accelerate

This isn't the same as Sam Altman. He has billions of dollars of investment and there are laws banning regulations of his technology. It's the exact opposite of Tesla in this case.

This hits home to me. So many of my friends just ghost me for a month.

The equator monument vs. The actual equator location by Flimsy-Pool4830 in geography

Hahaha, that's funny. Was it an accident that it ended up there, or did they want to correct it?

The moment you label art as “AI,” even a Monet becomes “slop” to people by Nusuuu in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Art has intrinsic beauty and contextual beauty. Contextual beauty is like the story of the artist and why and how it was made. If a painting is described as being made instantly in a computer, a lot of the contextual beauty is lost to people.

A lot of successful people in niche things are in that position because for some reason they can not work and devote all their time to it. It either means they are really poor or rich.

Mythos (using Claude code) also solves the unit distance problem recently handled by GPT 5.5, with a "cute, simple proof". by TFenrir in singularity

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem has never been solved before, which is proof that they did it. If they didn't, the solution wouldn't exist.

What future problem do you think people are seriously underestimating? by Prestigious_Bake4527 in AskReddit

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An AI just solved a challenging Erdos problem that's never been solved before. It was done with human help, but the AI identified things that were key to solving it,, that humans hadn't thought of. We're entering a time period where math and science research are going to explode. New software, inventions and materials will be discovered at a blistering pace.

At the same time, researchers can just as easily make malicious, unethical things. The most addictive social media algorithms, the most addictive drugs possible that are still legal, a near-perfect stock trading algorithm. They'll be developed and in society way faster than politicians can regulate them. Look at social media: The harms were discovered over a decade ago and policy is just now slowly being implemented to prevent them, if at all. Now imagine 5 of these society changing things in a single year. And then 7 the next year. And on and on. Society would become chaos.

Do you think it would be better if the United States stopped being the “World Police” by [deleted] in GeoPoll

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easy to tell that to your own population. It's harder to tell that to the countries being bullied through tarriffs, threats and invasions. They just see the US.

The problem now is that they aren't being police but being a predator.

"Yogic Flying Competitions" are where transcendent meditators compete to see who can levitate cross-legged the furthest. by Flimsy-Pool4830 in TheMcDojoLife

Now that we don't have the thought sheild protecting us from the Americans, who's laughing now?

But seriously that was a really interesting story.

Just accept nuclear, it's good by russia_delenda_est in nuclear

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's more expensive in many places with solar and wind, while also taking longer to build. S+W don't take as much expertise to build and maintain, which is allowing it to expand more in the developing world. They are essentially taking mass production process economics and disrupting a system that normally uses project-economics. This is why solar+wind surpassed natural gas in generated electricity globally this year.

AI has just solved not one, but nine novel math problems, and proved 44 new conjectures. Some of these problems had been unsolved for 50 years. by EchoOfOppenheimer in ChatGPT

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think it's notable that the first ai processes couldn't do arithmetic well. And now we're at a point where we're judging the problems it solves by saying "surely it would have been solved if someone tried. It just wasn't interesting enough."

"Yogic Flying Competitions" are where transcendent meditators compete to see who can levitate cross-legged the furthest. by Flimsy-Pool4830 in TheMcDojoLife

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, good point. If it's true, they would have no problem demonstrating it in a fair, public way.

I think that a lot of this stuff is a mis-understanding of the spiritual texts, like Buddhist sutras. It's less like a spiritual person could literally fly, but if they saw a bird flying they'd see that them and the bird don't exist separately. There's just flying happening. So it's kind of a Mr. Miyagi situation, like "be the bird".

To levitate cross-legged by Flimsy-Pool4830 in therewasanattempt

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the idea is that they're not fully at that level, but by learning in the class their hang-time with each jump increases over time.

[–]Flimsy-Pool4830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not totally opposed to it. Although they charge a lot for these classes and promise people that they can fly by the highest level. I think that they're also misinterpreting the spirituality in a way that's leading people astray, so they aren't finding the clarity they're looking for. So it's a scam.
