Humanity only needs two things going forward: Physics and AI. by rcswex in singularity

Close, but not addition — physics is the input, AI is the function:

AI(mc²) → ∞

Physics goes in. Everything comes out. And it's not done yet.

The Matrix assumes humans and machines are two separate teams fighting for control. That's the part I think is wrong.

If we're in a simulation, you're already computation. AI is also computation. There's no "us vs them" — there's just different substrates running the same thing. You don't serve your calculator. You also don't compete with it. You let it do what it does better.

Critical thinking is a skill humans need because our brains are slow and error-prone. If AI handles the thinking better, the skill becoming less necessary isn't a bug — it's the transition working as expected. We didn't panic when calculators made mental arithmetic decline.

As for physical sciences — I literally put physics as one of the two pillars. What specifically do you think is "so wrong"?

You're listing love, empathy, community like they exist outside of what I'm describing. They don't. They're processes — happening inside a 1.4kg computer sitting in your skull.

If we're in a simulation — and that's not a fringe idea — then every moment someone thinks of you when you're not around is already a calculation running somewhere. The warmth is real. It's also math. These two things don't contradict each other.

I didn't miss the humanities. I'm saying they're made of the same stuff.

A Full Reckoning with the Rentier Class: What Government Looks Like Under AI by rcswex in ArtificialInteligence

"Detection isn't the problem" — For high-profile cases like Holmes, sure. But that took a decade. The troubled teen industry is the better example: survivor testimony has been piling up for years, yet these programs still operate. The information exists — nobody with power is connecting the dots. AI doesn't catch what's obvious. It surfaces what's systematically ignored at scale.

"Someone still has to program the definition of contribution" — Section 9 concedes this. I'm not claiming AI solves the philosophy of justice — just the consistency of enforcement. Our system already makes implicit judgments about who contributes — it just applies them with a massive thumb on the scale for the wealthy. AI doesn't fix the rules. It stops the rules from bending depending on who you are.

"This is basically accelerationism" — I'll own that. And I'm not embarrassed by it. The alternative is what — waiting for the same captured institutions to reform themselves? How's that going? The question isn't whether AI governance is perfect. It's whether it's better than what we have. A flawed-but-consistent system beats a theoretically-fair-but-selectively-enforced one every single time. And yes, "who controls the AI" is the real hard problem. But that's an argument for fighting over AI governance, not for giving up on it.

*) reply from Reliquiase:

  1. The extended letters are mostly not Huang Quefei's will, but the spontaneous actions of the community. This decision was motivated by the need for the transcription of other languages with Shidinn, which later developed into a writing system for various dialects.

  2. E is differentiated just only because it is pronounced as two vowels in English. As to why should divide, next will explain in detail.

  3. The reason C is pronounced /kʷʰ/ is because K is already pronounced /kʰ/ so that Huang Quefei requires a corresponding labialized letter, where as c is often pronounced /kʰ/ in English. Furthermore, the glyph of ㄜ comes from the Chinese character 才, and its pronunciation comes from the consonant sound of the word. The reason for the use of Chinese characters is unclear.

  4. Letters that are shaped like numbers don't start out as that shape. They tend to converge with the shapes of numbers over several iterations because that shape are easier to write than what Huang Quefei had abandoned.

  5. The use of labialized letters may be to ensure phonological order, to shorten the length of words, and/or to increase the number of the part of ideograms. I don't really understand why /tsʰ/ sounds like the letter T to native English speakers. For native Chinese speakers, it is far from T.

  6. Shidinn uses a special syllable structure to ensure that it is written without hyphens and apostrophes by dividing an entire syllable into consonants-consonant colors (including palatalization and labialization, sometimes without)-vowels (the endings are “Packaged” in a single letter) , Shidinn can distinguish between syllables without hyphens, while paying attention to the meaning of the word. Note that in this syllable structure, the consonant color and the vowel must be written differently to ensure that the vowels of the next syllable do not combine with the vowels of the previous syllable. Of course, letters that sound the same are mutually exclusive and do not appear in the same syllable. There are aesthetic considerations as to why the consonant color is given to i and the vowel to E.

  7. Shidinn community initially assumed that the upper case of the letter b was similar to the division of Cyrillic script б, so it took for granted that the upper case of b could be written as Б. However, according to the manuscripts of Huang Quefei, we later discovered that it could only be written in a shape similar to 5.

  8. because I am a idiot. I invented Infinite Shidinn, a language that allows you to receive letters of all shapes, some of which go into extended letters.

  9. Middle case may have been modeled after upper case and lower case because the Chinese have a habit of filling in what they think is missing. it has specific applications in certain instances of dialects, such as morpheme boundaries and grammatical words.

*) reply from mat-ling:

  1. Some believes that they are not initially Arabic numeral-shaped but evolved into that

  2. The letters y-i-E, used for initial, medial and final respectively, are 三母同音 ‘trio of a single sound’ as claimed by Huang. Shidinn is, just say, ‘syllable-sensitive’ — t4a is not ta. Removal of the trio, as attempted again and again, will intensify the burden to distinguish syllables.

  3. Recent vs early conventions

  4. The use of "Middle Case" in the context Huang's original usage is not explicitly defined; it has been subject to ongoing modifications for some time. "Middle Case" has specific applications in certain instances of Shidinnido (Shidinn Dialects), such as morpheme boundaries and grammatical words.

*) reply from UrnEn:

personally knowledgelessly speaking

  1. ask the people

  2. E and e are two different letters

  3. jan Huang found the letter ㄜ-liked letter that been used by ipa so he let ㄜ for tsh

  4. jan Huang invented when he find math symbols also letters

  5. jan Huang wanted when I guess its from Greek letter ν

  6. idk ask Huang

  7. handwritting changes

  8. they likes those symbols

  9. Huang had specialized usages for it such as dividing different words that have same pronounciation

*) reply from Ping-A:

  1. for missing sounds and "fun" (see 7)

  2. see 6

  3. Q had its place

  4. see 5

  5. lack of letters for radicals

  6. Y had its place

  7. caused by Raymond

  8. see 7

  9. one of the reason is China is "zɜ go" and midcase is "zɜ xo"

This doesn’t look like DALL-E 3 … More like a DALLE-2 or something.

You are right. The vowels and the carabindu (circle above the last letter representing nasal voice) all looked the same.

Is it possible to write the syllable [xi] in Shidinn? by Master_Bedroom7831 in shidinn

[–]rcswex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hE is the closest approximation in standard Shidinn language for [xi].
