Despite all the hype and fear, AGI is nowhere near. OpenAI isn't near, Anthropic isn't near, X isn't near. Anyone who work with LLMs on a daily basis knows this which is why the definitions keep changing. What we do have is an amazing new non-deterministic programming paradigm

A yearly reminder that without hydrocarbons, half of us wouldn't be here today. Resources is something we create not just something we consume. This is what people like David Deutsch , Brett Hall, Robert Zubrin and Alex Epstein have been trying to promote for so long.

Yet another example of the philosophy of Can and Can't by David Deutsch The sonic boom was a major reason why there was a lot of resistance towards supersonic planes. In principle it was possible to avoid the large boom with using something in physics called Mach cutoff.

As others have also, Elon Musk has recently and rightly diagnosed how the removal of religion allowed a rise in worse dogmas like woke, relativism and so on. Is there a third way? Reject religion and still embrace wonder and awe around objective reality, truth and morality? Yes:

The problem with EU–INC is that it's pushing for the exact opposite of what EU needs. Europe have never been more harmonized than it is today yet as we saw from the Draghi report it's never been in worse condition than it is today. Not a single Fortune 100 company have

This interview by Tucker Carlson with Sam Altman is one of the best and most important interviews I have ever seen. Tucker taking the real questions to Sam and forcing him to reflect on the consequence of his own claims about what AI can do. Props to Sam for doing this I think
