monideas
If you want to learn more about this, this is what depth psychology is about (Carl Jung, et al).
This is also essentially the idea behind monotheism vs polytheism. It's about engaging with and trying to understand the profound underlying unity of the myriad phenomena.
This applies to all fields and pursuits where AI is effective. Yes I think about this with regards to various things I’m working on.
This is just the nature of things, you need to adapt and not throw a tantrum like a child. You need to not behave like Terrance Tao who is essentially like a child in an adult’s body in terms of his behavior and lack of wisdom, and keep in mind he was a child prodigy so this isn’t a knock at all or statement about his intelligence, only his development as a man.
You can mourn, as I have for the field of programming as I knew it which I have loved since I was a child, but you need to move on.
It’s like saying the power loom laid waste to the field of textiles.
As for meandering, the narrative follows people who travel around to different places so I don’t know what you mean. The canon of the Bible doesn’t arrange all the books chronologically. You can read them in chronological order if you want.
> also disables an anti-stalking feature that audibly alerts people
It sounds like piercing the speaker is the thing that disables the audible alert and the intent was not to help stalkers.
The executive being young and legislative/judicial being old was pretty typical across the ancient world.
Also people tended to not live as long in old age as they do now, we have lots of advanced medical interventions we can do to keep our old people alive and accumulating power and wealth.
Also Rome had a much healthier triangle-shaped demographic/population pyramid so they had more youngish people to draw on for elite qualities. They also had an active military culture so young people could actually prove themselves in leadership positions and make a name for themself. In the developed world in the current period that is not the case.
I'm not necessarily declaring what I'm saying to be insightful but what you're describing is what a typical reaction to insightful social commentary looks like.
To clarify the idea: you have a healthy social matrix but if you marry and settle in the US, your grandchildren won't.
The issue is that this particular group of people older than 65 at this particular time in world history (which you happen to be living in) are Boomers who are probably the most child-like, foolish, and ignorant generation of people in world history, due to the circumstances of their upbringing (post-WW2, high technology, opulence, drug use, sexual revolution, peace in the developed world).
This isn't ageism, since normally old people do tend to have more wisdom and knowledge than young people.
There is something that really went wrong with the Boomer generation. The goal of every society is basically to survive their Boomer generation which many are not really seeming to manage.
Even under regimes run by young people their advisors are old people.
Note to everyone reading your comment:
This is a typical psychological response, a deep need to trust the given system you're in, especially when it comes to serious medical issues.
This will lead to suboptimal outcomes and/or severely harm you in most circumstances. The people in these systems are just people, they make mistakes, they have their own personal issues, they have their own interests. The people who designed these systems are just people as well, they make mistakes, the systems are flawed, the system itself has its own interests and logic.
You need to be your own advocate, do your own research, not take what people say or do as gospel.
And yes genetic testing is extremely valuable in modern cancer care, a good oncologist will do this immediately.
This is simply not accurate. It is profoundly inaccurate
Again this recourse to nature is just druidism. You have a particular metaphysics and morality, it's just wrong.
You are literally posting on the internet, likely from an air conditioned room. You can and should stop using these things.
And then you put these human processes with an FDA, with medical guilds (the AMA), with doctors who have their own personal interests (not even corruption, just as in they have families and their own things they want to accomplish in life), n=50 trials if even that, people with vastly different diets, genetics, environments in the home both psychological and physiological, with different support systems.
Biology and medicine is not physics and physics is not mathematics, and mathematics as it is actually practiced by humans in institutional settings and with conferences and status and politics is not actually pure mathematics.
You do have to have humility in order to understand this, or really to understand how little these things can be understood. Learning humility and wisdom is not something you necessarily get as part of your profession, especially academics, especially academic mathematicians.
This is going to be heavily skewed by the fact that Millenial women are in their 30s and thus will be subject to various methodologies in how they're counted for this "lifetime" figure.
My experience is that women in the US over 40 vs women under 40 (as of 2026) have a much different view of children and of marriage. This would line up with cultural changes which occurred during the early 2000s.
As for cost, this idea is promoted all the time but poor people in developed countries and poor people in undeveloped countries have much higher fertility rates. Poor people have more children, therefore it cannot be an issue of cost alone.
What you suggested is however commensurate with some sort of personal animus.
Publishing a math paper and then unpublishing it is not "irresponsible". It's just a math paper.
When people aren’t getting married and having children, things get very weird as far as caretaking goes (and other things) and no amount of pleading or social engineering can solve this.
More specifically the jump between GPT 2.0 and GPT 3.0 with its in context learning was a step change in functionality compared to anything else that had been done with NNs, let alone MLPs.
This is a new type of technology, there is no real sense of its limits or capabilities. Regulating it appropriately or even just understanding best practices for using it is still way out by many years.
And also every country is working on it so it will get built and used for economic and military purposes, by someone.
This is just the nature of it. And yes there’s nothing at all that stops the US from doing something self destructive in terms of over regulation. I suspect this will happen eventually but Chinese models are really good.
Words are used but they don't create the same meaning-phenomena in the mind. Basically when you read these arguments from Artistotle, Descartes, and others you read the words but you don't understand. You kind of have to first understand to understand (Nietzche talks about this). In Kabbalah this is described by the interaction between Chochma (Wisdom) -> Binah (Understanding) -> Daat (Knowledge). Chochma/Wisdom being the initial flash of insight which then gets transmitted/nurtured into conscious understanding by Binah, a sensation/phenomenon everyone who has studied math or anything difficult conceptually will understand.
I say this as a former "reddit atheist" who first encountered these arguments from Aristotle and Descartes in college in an introduction to philosophy course. I didn't actually understand what they were saying and I dismissed it out of hand (I read the words but didn't actually understand). It wasn't until years later that I came to an understanding of it.
You can read my response below/above which I think nudges closer to inducing the flash of insight needed.
