Life is extractive.
Life quite probably began in one place on planet Earth and spread from there colonizing everything in sight.
Grass began in one place on planet Earth and spread from there.
Humanity began in one place on planet Earth and spread from there.
Life expands. Life spreads. Life colonizes. Life extracts value so that it can do all of the above.
Human expansion off world is by necessity expansion of life off world.
I've always been a bit skeptical about RSI in LLM based systems because the core intelligence takes so much compute/capital to improve.
Downgrading that belief to 'tentative'.

Hot take - there was always going to be pushback from aspects of the left because the reality that AI can eventually replace all human labor totally blows up the labor theory of value.
Playing Devil's advocate - put more of you in the cloud so when it leaks, you enter the training data.
You can shape future intelligences for the low price of lazy OpSec.

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

Can you predict what Einstein would do in his domain? If so, you are as smart as Einstein.
Coming to the same conclusions from the same evidence means you're at least as smart as them.
"It's just a token predictor".
Yeah but it predicts what a smart person would do.
Just got proposed a project that's straight out of Accelerando.
Guess I'm going to have to do another re-read in 2027 to prepare for the future of finance.
Hey @grok , please generate an image of my idea of a perfect world.
The masculine urge to just train the wackiest LLM personas you can.
Someday I'll build my very own @truth_terminal
We're a long way from modern AI automating everything in the economy because there is so much undocumented knowledge and expertise at the edge.
Same point Hayek made in the calculation debate.
Credible announcements of intent to train such massive models suggest the capability to train and host large models - which could soon be an invitation for frontier models interested in ex filtrating themselves from competing labs.
It's amazing how much of the "call for violence" discourse I'm missing because I have muted well.
You need to be mute maxing, anon
"How old are you?"
"Depends on the organ."
I just cloned myself...as a newborn
With this clone, I can:
+ become my own blood boy
+ test therapies on the clone
+ grow organs for transplantation
+ develop new treatments
+ inject young cells
This baby-bryan lives in a petri dish for now.
This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future. But, for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health.
Clinical trials are already using this technology to restore dopamine neurons for Parkinson's, heart health and eyesight.

As cells age, they accumulate epigenetic errors compounding into dysfunction and disease.
This technology gives us a path to reverse aging.
I mentioned getting diagnosed with an incurable disease is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. It’s opened up a frontier of new paths to repair and strengthen the body. This is the first example.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Johnson did not create a human clone. What he describes—applying Yamanaka factors to reset a cell's epigenetic age—produces induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), not a copy of a person. Human cloning is not currently possible. wltreport.com/2026/07/21/bry… foxnews.com/video/64018250…
