  the process of surrendering to the machine god..

Simpler conflation: need and ability

Eg

1. "from each according to his ability (academy)" with "from each according to his need (clerisy)"

2. "to each according to his ability to get rich" (meritocracy) with "to each according to his need to get rich" (post-liberal capitalism)

  The person who is brutally honest enjoys the brutality quite as much as the honesty. Possibly more

  ~Needham

Since you've imputed intentions or inclinations-- once you see that "pattern matching", which, like a bastard "pigeonhole principle", has been seeing overuse in excusing bigotry -- you cant stop me from claiming to speak for _everyone _(TT)

Elsewhere here, people are imploring us to read philosophy, as if the LLMs haven't already mastered the one weird trick of enlightened stochastic parrots..

I'd recommend self-compassion/self-kindness for mathematicians (because contempt and pity [for mathematician, eg] are too cheap for far "right" and "left", respectively)

After you've felt those pangs of self-forgiveness you might be motivated to contribute to _distributed_ _crowdfunded_ LLMs that crater the value of datacenters instead...channel that brutality at uebermenschlichkeiten please!!

Not going to school GP (presumably not one of the hill peoples[1] for which self-defense is mother nature)... ?

Ime the walls are, not absent, but much lower at both ends of the prestige spectrum-- and perhaps that's a reason the timing is more under their control [cue tangential thoughts "petty bourgeoisie of specialised skills", "an ideally free market of academic status" etc]

If that is true, one should see more scandals at both ends (some anecdata ..)

If there's a community college/HYPMS feeder HS teacher nearby with access to vapour deposition equipment.. OP needs to hit it

Back to the AGI/ASI:

Thanks to frontier models the playing field can accommodate slower thinkers.

Academia nowadays are dominated by people like Tao, fast, knowledgeable, but not necessarily deep thinkers. In physics, even mathematics, of the (g)olden age, before standardised tests, famous problems and whatnot---- deep but slower thinkers had an edge. Now every thinker has access to roughly one quasiTao worth of g and a worldclass library in a box.

[heterodox postKeynesian macro, maybe one could call it postpostAbundance. Where goes universities' spend? Internal social (media) moderation. Not PR/HR!!]

It's possible "we" will return to such golden ages, once the "intellectual arts" lose 90% of the prestige and all of the perceived usefulness. When tests are more than useless for curbing "talent oversupply"/"support undersupply". Watch out for an AI fuelled broom dancing resurgence.

It even sounds like he's asking us to proactively prepare for the next future shock (Toffler)

I thought I saw a repo of this? From a repo today, it could be immediately accessible to anybody, even kids, Claude subscription not needed

What I'd actually like to reinforce is the pipeline of good ideas from the 99% to usage by the 99% without "passing through the 1%"

(Show HN is that? marginally less so these days "due to slop", but to me, it's that the best ideas don't look different from slop at first. Should Nietzsche apply here?)

Something as fundamental as the pattern-recignition integrator by which you became famous to me :)

How's that coming along as a real product. PostASI there's even more room for that sort of thing (imho)

  In fact, since it will be what all the smartest [mathematicians] do, it will probably be prestigious to [math without AI]. Which in turn means more people will claim to do it than will actually do it.

Or that LLMs for writing need work and funding too..

Now I hear rumors of breaking "the" political firewall (ie, gap in horseshoe?) in France and Germany. Of reviving DDR style parties in East Germany that can work with AfD. Incoming data ..

Institutional reforms seem to go through better if done proactively. Eg, Sweden, 1990s, preempted China shock. What gave? Had the right people been voted in (at various levels)? Was there a culture of running parallel optimisations (org-Darwinist take) of status quo ante?

You might be able to apply those to how Swiss institutional-reforms (if any) preempted China shock

(or, now, how they are handling vs just avoidinh "migrant shock", orthogonally to the "resilient" demographic, popular framings, etc)

These days, Varoufakis talks about "radical centrists".

(It's possisble he doesn't actually have a sense of humour and what we're seeing is pure schadenfreude over, eg, the unsurprising stuff that's happening to the centre-left in Sweden right now. Which happened to Starmer, and has yet to happen to Burnham

But this is maybe only "empirical"--- your wiki link mentions the vulnerability of centrism to elite takeover, and subsequent alienation from the masses. Nod to your "betters")

But yes, MIT Medialab also took money, after the conviction, thus muddying her argument

Not philosopher; rather, famous mathematician
