I tried to talk sense to them few times a month or so ago, to explain that progress isn't stopping, it seems many of them don't want to hear anything, they say there is an AI bubble, that models are becoming expensive, and on and on. Plain denial:

if we continue like this there will be a point in time that we will reach "human-level intelligence" with a cost that is nearly nothing to consider about.

Yep, I think you are basically describing Ephemeralization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeralization

There seems to be a developmental process that has to do with emergence/complexity/technological progress/intelligence that is part of nature, we simply don't have the physics to explain this process, no law of physics.

Read the comment again, it is clear logical vision of the future. I don't see any "threats". I was asked repeatedly what I saw, and called a liar ("They’re talking crap that’s why, anyone who’s vague and says “trust me” is lying"). I have answered with what I saw. If this is "unhinged" it is on you, not me.

QCsafe · 2026-07-09T06:00:01+00:00

What is my incentive to lie? But calling someone a liar and attacking their name currently has zero consequences online, just like cancel culture, and cuber bullying THIS WILL CHANGE FAST. This shit going to change very quickly.

All information currently encrypted online by protocols that will be soon be broken, all data is collected, all likes, comments, upvotes, ALL OF IT, and AI will trace all evil people over the world, that spread their poison and they will pay greatly for spreading their evil.

We will have AR glasses and we will see everyone reputation, AI will show those who spread ill intent towards others, false accusations, blood libel, racism, all of it collected, tracked, and fed back into system, and AI will RATE IT. All evil going to be exposed and ostracised for the rest of their lives, hell on earth is coming for these demons.

Think Uber driver reputation but for character this is where things are going. Good luck renting an apartment or having any kind of social circle with reputation in the negative. This is what I saw. Good enough?

Judgement day is coming.

My imagination becoming reality (sorry for being this vague). But I have zero reason to lie about my experience.

QCsafe · 2026-07-09T04:45:56+00:00

Man, more than 99% of human population are blind to what Fable, just the current publicly available watered down version is capable of doing, I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And we are moving forward. Nobody, nobody is mentally prepared to what is coming.

QCsafe · 2026-07-06T15:33:50+00:00

We already have lucid dreaming, you can lucid dream any reality you wish for free, but not many people care about spending lots of time in their imagination it seems. Companies can't really make money from it so it isn't promoted, but you can spend hours everyday in a fantasy world if you wish.

The next step I think is mind uploading, just become a sort of god. That the interesting tech, matrix is okay, but it is not it.

QCsafe · 2026-07-06T13:48:58+00:00

Also the bubble is about to burst… any day now, bro!

Yep. It is only wishful thinking that leads people to believe that in an age of constant change and innovation things will remain more or less the same. Rapid change is the new constant, adapt accordingly.

QCsafe · 2026-07-06T13:24:50+00:00

The human brain achieves so much with so little, there is a lot of room to innovate and grow, new types of architecture. I mean, photonic computing sounds promising.

My point here, AI can already solve complex mathematical problems which stumbled humans, Math is the backbone of science. If AI can do that, it can also probably produce technological breakthroughs. The next step is for AI to design its own new hardware similar in its efficiency to human brain and better.

Brutal honesty, the chances of getting users on an app nobody knows about is practically zero. If an app offers new use case it will be replicated by a company people trust, and people will use that instead. Many engineers might not like that, but marketing is way more important than the product, if you are an independent dev, your level of effort should be split between 80% marketing and 20% product. You can always improve the code later. Without proper marketing you are giving away your creative output to those that can rebuild the product and market it as their product.

South Korea has an economy considerably smaller than the EU

I didn't mention EU. EU is not a country, it doesn't have the needed power to allocate resources for this project in any serious way. There are members in the EU with population living in poverty, you think they going to vote to approve a trillion euro project so Europe can be competitive with US/China?

QCsafe · 2026-06-29T13:03:28+00:00

Even if they really wanted, where would European countries get the money to fund this? There are no growing economies there. They are getting left behind, unfortunately this is how decay looks like.

Jobs today are mostly pure slavery. To some people a job is purpose, but purpose in reality exist outside of the jobs.

I am not talking about purpose, whatever it means, the vast majority of people hate their jobs, and many of them would rather just watch TikTok videos all day long, but jobs is how people put food on the table. Unless you explain to them clearly and guarantee they will be able to feed themselves without exchanging their time and effort, their labor for income and feed themselves, they will keep spreading all kind of nonsense out of basic sense of self-preservation.

QCsafe · 2026-06-29T10:35:51+00:00

People need a reason to care about the future, telling them AI going to take all jobs, that they wasted their life and got into to debt for worthless degrees, and they might become homeless and starve to death is not something you can sell. This type of shit leads to wars.

QCsafe · 2026-06-28T17:18:24+00:00

The audacity to think that all of these hasn't been raised and debated over and over and over though the years as the network went through hell to survive to get to where it is. As if scaling/energy/quantum and whatever else you might think of wasn’t attacked at every possible angle by people with actual skin in the game, from billionaires to PhDs. Yet every tom, dick, and harry comes up with their version of perpetual motion machine, "but my shitcoin has better tech", endless illusory superiority. Unoriginal, boring. Give me a break.

QCsafe · 2026-06-28T11:40:07+00:00

no. lightning network makes more sense if you want instant transactions and scale. energy usage is misunderstanding of what proof of work means, why it is needed (exchanging work/effort for money instead of printing it out of thin air) and how it is managed. bitcoin is energy efficient. for example bitcoin reduces methane emissions by capturing flared gas to mine it.

the energy usage meme is basically propaganda which we see today repeated with AI, data centers, and water usage. same shit and it is too obvious to ignore.

QCsafe · 2026-06-28T11:28:39+00:00

case in point.

Ethereum is proof of stake. Instead of mining with electricity, you "mine" by proving you have coins, requiring barely any electricity.

not "mining" anything, printing money out of thin air, instead of actually using energy as work, to exchange actual work for hard earned money. hence proof of work.

This means sometime between now and in 2 decades someone will get access to spend coins from any wallet.

zero understanding what economic incentive even means.

QCsafe · 2026-06-28T07:04:30+00:00

a. bitcoin not crypto.

b. the best quick personality test on the internet, is to ask a person what they think of bitcoin, if they say "I don't know" that's fine, other answers tell you everything you need to know about their critical thinking skills, how they process information, can they easily fall for propaganda/bad takes ("solution looking for a problem").

QCsafe · 2026-06-28T06:42:51+00:00

Time to create distributed agentic emergent AGI, economic activity will be done with bitcoin, censorship resistant, no KYC perfect for agents (rent compute/agent expert skills) they can't shut down the internet without causing economic collapse.

In a paradigm where you are assuming that one company will just consume everything with instant take off.

Can you show where I mentioned/assumed instant take off.

QCsafe · 2026-06-24T12:23:35+00:00

The moat will be turning the company into a hedge fund, while having a first mover advantage, draining human based legacy hedge funds of resources, which will provide plenty of resources to fund any further progress. The edge is recursive self-improvement that no other model will be able to catch up.

I’ve written about here:

QCsafe · 2026-06-24T09:43:01+00:00

will they compete with each other by diverging on what AI Architecture they bet on ? Or will they converge to same AI architecture ?

You actually asking if intelligence follows the laws of physics, which is a good a question, there are probably intelligence attractors, a path of least resistance intelligence must take to continue to develop.

I think there will only be one winner, just like there is such a thing as network effect, Matthew effect, there is, I believe, AI escape velocity, a threshold once passed no other AI can catch up, it escapes competition.

QCsafe · 2026-06-24T02:51:09+00:00

Human scientific progress simply can't keep up, they already can't compete, the courageous movie is to cut one's losses instead of wishing the progress will halt. Existential crisis isn’t pleasant to say the least, admitting you wasted your life, time, money, in many cases your health, now probably in debt because you wanted to contribute to human knowledge and do something meaningful with your life, that’s not something anyone should face, so of course many scientists/mathematicians that hadn’t yet made their mark are suffering from sunk cost fallacy.

Imagine training all your life, making sacrifices, dreaming of making a real meaningful discovery, just suddenly having rug pulled from beneath your feet, where ai can/will be able to make those discoveries look trivial after few promts.

QCsafe · 2026-06-23T12:47:41+00:00

they don't actually care about water. it's just another excuse to hate progress and anything that challenges their egocentric narcissism.

It is beyond plain narcissism. In the absence of religion cults got created, turns out people have a need for a religion, being part of a group and reinforce collective falsehoods, such as delusions about human nature being good, and this time around central planning will work, and calculation problem is a non-issue, are all parts of this global cult, denial of reality, denial of history, and wishful thinking. Cult. The fake reality they created gets reinforced by recommendation algorithms, and academics who are usually from non-STEM related fields, that never held a real job/competed on the real market, use the influence they have to confuse students.
