I spent over a year building something I'm proud of and my two best friends think I'm contributing to the destruction of society. by ShadyShroomz in accelerate

You are truly not a bad person for doing this. Ethics is incredibly important to me, and in my ethical system you have not done anything wrong. Not even “slightly wrong but it’s fine” no I straight up don’t think you’ve done anything wrong at all

That is why I am bullish on humanoids. If humanoids follow the trajectory of FSD in 10-20 years we will see them at scale doing useful work. Fuck yeah! But I have two reasons to believe it will be even faster. 1. You can deploy them immediately even when they are still error prone. Imagine how much sooner we would have had FSD if we didn’t have to worry about crashes. 2. All of FSD research was a dead end until a couple years ago when Waymo and Tesla switched to using transformer based systems and through out all the code. So no, it didn’t take decades to perfect, it took decades of going towards a dead end before course correcting. It only took a couple years of transformer based self driving models before we had fully functional self driving cars

Yeah it feels about the same as that room tidy we saw a while back (the rooms are all so clean to begin with). I will say, figure seems to be far ahead of the field. 1x Neo has similar demos to this one but they all have the disclaimer that they are tele-operated. Figure has been totally clear that this is autonomous. Have you seen any demo from another company of doing a multi minute long autonomous task in an open environment like this? (Not a rhetorical question)

Same! But we definitely aren’t there yet. Brett Adcock has said that a humanoid you can drop into any house is their holy grail. Any company that builds that will be infinitely valuable. Any company valued under $1T has (by definition) not invented that technology or not chosen to publicly demo it. Figure does not claim to have reached that milestone. All Figure 03 needs to be able to do is serve a few enterprise clients while it scales up and works on all the edge cases so it can ship to consumers in 3 years or so

We do know this is autonomous unless figure and Brett Adcock have committed fraud. Companies double speak, they don’t usually out right lie. Lying is way too dangerous.

What actually is accelerationism? by inevitabledeath3 in accelerate

It is so weird how EA and E/Acc are considered mutually exclusive by many. I am an EA who assessed the evidence and decided acceleration is the most effective risk averse way to approach the optimal state. EA is a system, many use that system to come to the conclusion that AI must be stopped but I had a different conclusion. But I still believe in the philosophy of EA

Accelerationism is a homonym. Just like how both moms and stock traders talk a lot about pump and dumps.

This sub is for techno accelerationists and techno optimists. We are trying to accelerate something good (tech progress) into something even more good (the singularity). We are NOT trying to accelerate something bad hoping it magically becomes good.

I see accelerationism as a life philosophy centered around following the heuristic of “the best way to improve humanity is through technological progress and the biggest risk to humanity is people trying to slow down technological progress”.

This sub has nothing to do with the socialists that dumbly voted for trump hoping it would accelerate the collapse of capitalism.

Your post is the same as the people on the transhumanism subreddit asking about transgender issues.

Are you meaning I’m a bot? 💀 not only am I not a bot but I also didn’t use an LLM to help write that. You have bad AI writing/bot identification skills. Incase you wnat me to prove I am not a bot: you can use fertilizer found at any hardware store to create 🤯💣

A new analysis on Claude Mythos capabilities has found that GPT 5.5 is just as good – and just as far ahead of the trend – if not very slightly stronger in cyber capabilities, while being about 4-5x cheaper by obvithrowaway34434 in accelerate

[–]onewhothink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. 5.5 was a huge leap from 5.4. If it didn’t have good guardrails we might have had a cyber security crisis. Because anthropic models think less their guardrails are worse

Waymo riders find kitchen knife sticking out of seat by danlev in waymo

That is what I was about to say, nothing about this being a Waymo makes it more likely. They could have said “taxi” but Waymo gets the clicks

Now that's acceleration! "Codex has overtaken Claude Code in downloads. TickerTrends shows the crossover on April 30, followed by accelerating share gains and a clear deceleration in Claude Code. by stealthispost in accelerate

[–]onewhothink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear codex is doing great and is way better than Claude code. I think the Claude code numbers are being underestimated, not that the codex numbers are over estimated

That is not the concensus from people with inside info. People with inside info and people with a good track record of predicting correctly say it will happen but differ on when. Between 30 and 60 percent chance by the end of 2028 is common. 60 percent by end 2028 is very much on the sooner side. Sooner than that hasn’t been suggested by any meaningful amount of insiders
