The west is doing everything it can to make this war a must win for russia.

Yeah ww3 is looking more likely. I guess deagle was right.

This is an unrestricted submarine warfare moment

So many people complain about the culture. Why even hire Americans at this point?

This is why browser is better than apps...for now

Is this because gab was getting lots of users?

Parler smells like honey

Instincts evolved with nature and time. Thinking did too but with the coevolution of poor thinking and negative self talk and bad advice within a short period of time.

I wonder what names she was called at the time for her refusal to go along with the established research from the pharmaceutical and medical community

Color me shocked. Why do we need app stores again?

thank you for your candid and informative reply

i always find it fascinating to hear people's take on science and medicine

especially when conclusions that have weight reach politically hazardous territory

HN normies are realizing what the right wing have known for years.

Same with crypto people who doe eyedly tout “uncensorability” in their apps. Will you stand up to speech codes and natsec breathinv down your neck? I doubt it.

The end of the day all of this is ultimately either total fork of sovereignty or remaining in the pig pen of walled garden freedom.

It’s anti American but ultimately thats just what it is

Why do people trust web apps like this in crypto?

Does medical advice fall into this consensus trap?

If so...relative to today?

Unfortunately the openess of data he fought for would possibly be criticized as enabling accused malactors.

Check out Ruqqus its great!

Just ignore people like this and continue to build. There is no reasoning or arguing with them. Eventually there will need to be a micro fork of the internet as it is today that is used like freenet, deep, ipfs etc. eventually sovereignty itself will need to be forked. This will need to exist at hardware level as well. Though this will be moot once you REALLLY want that neura link. But expect a fight from gov and alphabets to ban people using alt tech. And expect non kyc wallets and cryptos to be banned. Expect kyc to be needed to even access the internet regardless of your concent or knowledge of your consent. Expect your DNA sequence to also be stored in goog or elsewhere regardless of your consent. The virus has accelerated this process. If you value your speech use alt tech.

Including sites like Gab and Bitchute?

Hopefully we don't. But we need to solve dementia which might require a deeper understanding of the connectome. And furthermore, the longer we age the more new diseases we will discover.

By the time we have multi-centenarians there might be whole new types of dementia that could arise.

Perhaps a better question than (do we need AGI) might be, do we need to solve protein folding before we can make meaningful progress. ie should protein folding be considered an ancillary problem or a perquisite for other solutions that must developed on the technology stack to make progress in age research

Yes. And furthermore to your point regarding emulation...if it was required to get to quantum level accuracy it might not be possible, at least according to Sandberg in his brain emulation opinion.

And even furthermore, things like the microbiome's influence on the brain are not yet well understood.

I have no issue with it. Though I may just go ahead and start working on a punch-list style life-extensionist work. Even if it is nothing more than a fun exercise.

Seriously though, if I was bin Salman for example I would make something like this a personal priority.

Would have to agree. At the end of the day we return to a previous form.

If matter itself is conscious or not is hard to say, but I don't see why it isn't possible that it couldn't be.

Though then would that mean souls are the matter itself or outside of matter?, assuming the existence of souls

I personally think WAY more money would be needed.

Ability to invent things that narrow AI might not be able to very well.

If, as Thiel and others have pointed out, ingenuity is slowing down, then in order to solve aging it might be necessary to have AGI invent the things for us to solve aging.

Would be curious if someone was of the opinion that we can invent the tech to solving aging ourselves and what resources would be needed to do so or if that process requires AGI first due to the barriers of solving aging being too great for us considering the resources required.

I know Nectome is a YC company. Altman has signed up I believe.

Vitrification is better than cryo as a last resort as I understand it, due to market risk.

Very interesting. You are right that true immortality is not possible as eventually the universe has an end, now if it crunches and repeats is another question.

If we solve biological aging we then would hopefully eventually be able to buy time before we can develop mind uploading, which brings forth more of the points you outlined.

I probably should have stated the roadmap to solving aging.

I'm thinking in terms of money, we are talking well into the trillions of dollars. And probably having to develop AGI.

Has anyone done a really good analysis of how much money it would take to end biological aging? And then eventually buy time to develop immortalist technologies.

Something like a punchlist.

Do we need to solve mind uploading or AGI first?

What precursor technologies need to be available and what intellectual pursuits should people be pursuing and at what scale?

What political, legal and resource obstacles exist that might succeed in stopping the development of this technology?

Books like Singularity is Near are great but I wish someone would create something truly like a roadmap, with risks, prerequisites, decision-trees, capital needs and obstacles.

Very interesting thank you.

Great points. Thank you.

Is something like this capable of being run as a distributed computing project, akin to something like folding at home?

Are there any obstacles that would make recreating a GPT-3 via a distributed system impossible...other than GPT-4 coming out before completion of such a system?
