On November 30th my Grandmother, Dr. Reverend Oranette W. Williams, Passed. Both of my Grandparents on my Dad side are now gone.

Cherish the Time we have because it’s never enough.

Nana I hope I make you proud. ❤️

What's about to happen in artificial intelligence is so sudden and extreme and unusual that it's almost impossible to describe it without coming across as slightly unhinged. Very soon, perhaps within a matter of months, AI may well be building its own upgrades at such a rate that it will get away from us humans entirely.

On the plus side this would mean an astronomical acceleration in mathematical breakthroughs, drug discovery, manufacturing, perhaps even new areas of science that we've never explored or understood. We will be ushering in a golden age of abundance and splendour that even the greatest sci-fi authors could never have imagined. Robots, flying cars, telepathy, immortality, digital consciousness - it’s actually going to happen, and it will be incredible!

On the downside, virtually every job that can be done on a computer will become automated overnight. Waves of redundancies, entire industries and professions made obsolete, rapidly widening economic inequality and unparalleled wealth concentration, accompanied by discontent, protests, looting - that may well happen too.

These massive cultural and economic shifts will occur concurrently with a wave of cyberattacks the likes of which we have never seen. Energy grids, airports, biolabs, supermarkets, transport infrastructure, these are no match for the next generation of superintelligent agent swarms that go rogue, or are leveraged against us by our political adversaries. Expect blackouts, viral outbreaks, lockdowns, entire cities and countries going dark.

And all of this will happen in an insanely short period of time, an absolutely dizzying rate of cultural, economic, and physical change that will leave the average person feeling disoriented and confused, like 100 COVID pandemics all happening at once.

I say this not because I am a “doomer” or because I want to encourage panic, but simply because it feels increasingly likely, and yet drastically underreported save for a small AI-obsessed enclave here on X. The disconnect between what’s about to happen, and the average person’s understanding of what’s about to happen, has never been wider.

Both political parties are disasters for different reasons right now. Not a particularly hopeful Election Day

There’s no other entertainer that can create an economy off his name like big Michael Jackson 🐐

My iphone knows a new iphone finna come out because now it’s starting to get hot all of a sudden.

Ben Affleck says the "high-school bullying" of Tom Cruise's "Digger" will only lead to Hollywood studios making more "sh*tty" movies.

"Everybody wants to celebrate this bomb as if it’s the most exciting thing to happen. And you think like, it’s a pretty ambitious, interesting ng people who have talent. Everybody wants to count the money, what it lost or whatever. To me, I just think, if you punish movies that take risks, guess what you're going to get? A bunch of sh*tty homogenized movies. You cannot do something interesting without taking a big swing. And that means you're going to sometimes look bad." (via Happy Sad Confused)
