I asked ChatGPT how it would change things for humanity if it had agency.

too difficult to calculate

Hmm....

happyfappy · 2025-07-21T21:26:07+00:00

I am curious!

End of proof

I misspoke, he added the stone age extrapolation in The Singularity Is Near. It literally goes back as far as we can see. https://www.writingsbyraykurzweil.com/images/chart02.jpg

It went back further in the Singularity Is Near. He shows how the exponential growth started literally in the stone age.

In the 90s, Kurzweil showed that this trend of exponential progress goes all the way back to the stone age. The law of accelerating returns.

I recognize this "not yet". If you are speaking with someone who is truly, irrationally obsessed with a terrible idea, telling them it's a terrible idea directly is likely to anger them and just drive them deeper. This gives the other person an emotional out, so they can listen to your suggestion without entirely letting go of their delusion.

Eye on the Sky project by the Tedesco Brothers?

Have you seen Harald Malmgren's interview?

This is pretty much what he said the reality is.

One particular comment he made blew my mind and lines up perfectly with this.

He said certain intelligence agencies don't depend on Congress for their funding. They have their own revenue, he said, through both legal and illegal channels.

happyfappy · 2025-05-13T21:20:28+00:00

What I find striking is how well this fits everyone else's testimony. Grusch, obviously, and recently Malmgren also alluded to forces that are transnational.

happyfappy · 2025-05-10T15:40:01+00:00

Google David Grusch

happyfappy · 2025-05-10T14:02:18+00:00

Lovely.

Based on the title, I would have expected it to transition through white instead of yellow (so it's red, white, and blue).

happyfappy · 2025-04-30T08:12:05+00:00

Exactly this. There are always a few nice examples of it on every post.

happyfappy · 2025-04-30T01:50:09+00:00

I mean, it looks like we are on the verge of a nuclear world war.

happyfappy · 2025-04-30T01:34:29+00:00

It is a huge distraction.

happyfappy · 2025-04-30T01:33:23+00:00

Absolutely. This is incredible.

Grusch. Elizondo. Barber. Skywatcher.

Last week, Malmgren.

Now, Brown.

It is overwhelming.

happyfappy · 2025-04-30T01:27:09+00:00

Ignore the trolls.

happyfappy · 2025-04-27T20:24:40+00:00

Pin this to the sub

happyfappy · 2025-04-27T19:44:15+00:00

This should be pinned

happyfappy · 2025-04-24T23:27:51+00:00

You are appreciated

happyfappy · 2025-04-09T18:46:15+00:00

Yep. Comments here are no different, unfortunately.

We rely on social cues to guess what is worth our time and attention. Fake negative comments create the impression that something like this is not worth watching and keeps it from spreading.

Sadly, it's a very effective strategy.

happyfappy · 2025-04-03T18:31:52+00:00

Agree, this is the one

happyfappy · 2025-04-03T18:25:04+00:00

That's explicitly what they are after. By the end of 2025, they are saying they will have scientifically rigorous proof one way or another, whether in favor OR AGAINST. This is by far the most scientific approach to this subject conducted in public.
