An optimistic theory on systems development replacing product development and a manifesto/hypothesis on cybernetics
or maybe just cope from someone who is ngmi, who knows

Pattern switch implemented. Seemingly closed loops with smoke and mirrors. 😏

"I view code as kind of like art so it sucks that AI is taking it over."
Cool! I like to build things that help people though so you keep doing your art and I'm going to find the best/fastest way to build things to help people

I have tried to read @allTheYud’s writings and it would fail an elementary philosophy course. Anyone that thinks he is a genius is an idiot.
The entire AGI/Singularity discourse is obviously a neo-Christian cult - if CEOs take it seriously, then they are also idiots.
So not to go all Yudkowsky Monocause Theory. But a lot of AI company talk that *sounds smart* did come from me, or me via Bostrom or other diffusion modes. High-powered ideas like "recursive self-improvement" and "AGI" are ideas they did not invent themselves, but got off higher-quality outside thinkers. There's a big intellectual history behind me in turn, but the AI companies did not study this history independently; they got it downstream of my writing it up.
I naturally spent some time trying to figure out what the positive vision for AGI and ASI would look like, back in the mid-2000s.
But I considered it a lower priority to write up.
And AI company executives are not at the intellectual level where they can invent coherent answers to questions like that, if they don't have my answer sheet to copy from.
They can't tell you what the positive vision for AGI or ASI looks like, because I didn't prioritize writing up that part of my earlier thoughts. They can't copy it off from the same answer sheet they used to produce smart-sounding conversation like "general intelligence" or "recursive self-improvement" or "extinction risk" or "AI alignment problem".
If they're not reading off my answer sheet, AI company executives are pretty ordinary as intellectuals. Being able to spend billions on GPUs does not make you a genius inventor, even if we're used to amazing inventions coming from genius rather than black-box optimization. AI company executives are not going to give you better answers about "what's the positive vision" than any other random intellectual challenged with a question beyond their wits.
If you start hearing good-sounding answers from Anthropic or OpenAI, it means that Mythos or HPIM advanced to the point of learning how to sound convincing about utopia to humans.
I did do an *abstract* writeup on constraints and requirements over positive ASI scenarios (see eg "31 Laws of Fun"); but that does AI companies no good, because they would need to be able to sketch a concrete AGI scenario from those abstract ideas. That again is beyond them if I have not done their homework.
It is of course not in humanity's interest that I try to do this homework for the AI companies now. It would only be a lie. They have no utopia to offer.

The person who allegedly made a death threat against people at Lighthaven was deepfates. I'm still trying to find out more about the specifics of what happened.

SpaceX buyout was a death knell for Cursor.
Cursor is now part of The X Subscription.
Current Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch to The X Subscription.
Paid plans share one usage pool across Cursor, Grok Build, and other Grok products, with twice the coding usage on Grok models as the equivalent Cursor plan. Premium, Super, and Ultra also include Grok Bot.
To make room for more Grok usage, third-party models in Cursor move to API pricing on the new plans. We'll keep working to make your usage go further, with more compute, better inference, and more token-efficient models.
The X Subscription is available at cursor.com/pricing.

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
That needs to change. And fast.

Sometimes you gotta look at the thing you're building and then just turn the ambition knob up a couple hundred percent and go full send and flip the bird to "scope creep."

turns out that Masha Bucher, founder of Day One Ventures. Also known for ..
- being a member of the Kremlin Youth
- a PR manager for Jeffery Epstein
- starting a VC fund whose first investor is a (now sanctioned) Russian Bank's founder
- a FBI report where a confidential source reported "Day One Ventures was in Silicon Valley to steal technology.”
is not the best VC to work with.
