Pure western propaganda. We don't even have Democracy - just oligarchy/fascism..

That's all I needed to know. I'm deliberately avoiding all scamcoin related projects..

And now with LLMs, the industrial-scale spamming of the web is likely to grow exponentially.

True, but these things can also be used by us, to curate/maintain a high quality link collection. However, I'm not sure 'pages' will be read by humans in 5 years, so I have a feeling we wont need such a collection anymore. Well, not for humans but probably for our individual LLM's.

There's lots of small gems in the old flashpoint archive (old flashgames), but I had trouble on linux with the last version I downloaded. https://flashpointarchive.org/downloads give it a run..

A 'State' is not inherently bad. That's just libertarian propaganda/dogma. Self-interested psychopaths in charge of a state is bad..

Just an amateur opinion: If we think of science as a beliefsystem (a system to arrive at a close approximation of truth), it is much more adaptive than any other explanatory system. I think for that reason alone it will 'win' in the long run, but emotional systems will carry on/blossom in some form or another as societal breakdowns occurs, or if Science incentives gets compromised by ideology/money, thereby resulting in less trust.

If we look at what science already know, some Physicists, (carrol etc) believe we already have an 'engineering corpus' of everything we see on a daily basis, but as soon as we look at the edges of non-human scales/focus there's a lot to find yet.

Even if we ever find a theory of everything and know all the primary forces, we still need to learn all the ways these forces can be combined, and we cant readily predict 'interesting phenomenons' down the line from an algorithm, so exploring will continue in our current reductionist exploration, but will perhaps pivot to a more holistic exploration. Steven Wolframs 'ruliad' is supposed to contain all possible combinations of everything and all their derivations (forgot the def. ;) ), and he talks about theoretical science realms that we will have a hard time even seeing/understanding. Some argue that the primary forces also varies across the universe. Chaos theory argue that it will take endless energy to collect endless dynamic data - even if we compress it into math/axioms etc. All exploration of chaotic space will take time to compute. Also, If we want to utilize our knowledge we need to either store/retrieve, or compute based on data/algorithms. In Billions of years this use/pursuit of knowledge will cost a lot of energy.

There's a lot to think about in such a question, but it's interesting how we can send shit to other planets, but we completely lack the knowledge/technology to manage a large ecosystem, or organize our self in a way where we don't harm each other or our habitat. The first is very easy compared dynamic systems. I don't think we've even scratched the surface of what our dynamic systems can do for us if we learn to tame them.

Anyway, in the long now, thousands of years, I think the system of Science will evolve, improve, but we will not reach 42. There will always (billions of years) be combinations of forces that we cant predict easily and some we have to explore/create to discover/enjoy.

It got a bit messy, sorry..

Every single Capitalist model or corporation will do this deliberately with all their AI integration. ALL corporations will censor their AI integration to not attack the corporation or any of their strategic 'interests'. The Capitalist elite in the west are already misusing wokeness (i'm woke) to cause global geo-political splits and all western big tech are following the lead (just look at Gemini), so they are all biased towards the fake liberal narrative of super-wokeness, 'democracy'/freedumb, Ukraine good, Taiwan not part of China, Capitalism good and all the other liberal propaganda and bs. Its like a liberal cancer that infects all AI tools. Nasty.

Agree or disagree with that, but none of us probably want elite psychopaths to decide what we should think/feel about the world, and its time to ditch ALL corporate AI services and promote private, secure and open/free AI - not censored or filled with liberal dogmas and artificial ethics/morals from data to finetuning.

Well, the US free market religion ensures that everything in the US are based on 100% profit and corruption. All big tech both bow to, and participate in the US 'deep state'. I have zero direct clue about the claims here, but we know that liberal big tech goes for profit whenever they can (rare cases force).

As an example: The RAND corporation is a think thank that are deeply linked to deep state and the military industrial complex + US attacks around the world They work on time scales of decades and try to grow US Capitalist hegemony by all means possible. RAND have been the main architects of most of US foreign policy (incl. Ukraine/Russia and Taiwan/China and all 'color revolutions') for many many years. RAND had a board member in openai (forgot her name) while all the scheming/firing went on.

Now, nobody knows anything for sure, but Rand doesn't sit there for their joy, or for instant profit, they sit there to observe/control the development of openai's products, and make sure it is used primarily for US hegemonic goals. Deep state (who/whatever they turn out to be) have huge control of all US corporations and also sit on all the big media and therefore the narrative. It would imho be naive to believe that the psychopathic US elite haven't at least tried the claims in this meme. How successful is another matter tho.

Europeans are glad to be able to replace lost Russian gas supply with LNG imports, and are willing to pay for them.

No, we are not, but our fanatical liberal elite and their followers don't give a shit about the people that will feel the consequences..

how cells form into specific shapes for arms, hands, organs, etc.

Not really qualified to answer, but Michael Levin have done some very interesting work on bioelectricity and growth of bodyparts. He is beginning to control the cell/formation of bodyparts, and other fascinating stuff. There's some fine interviews on yt.

(Just for fun!)

Oh, just noticed that. Anyway, you seem interested in the subject, so you should check him out anyway ;)
