  1. 🚀 Oh joy, yet another group of #futurists trying to teach machines the art of trading by tossing them into a pit of artificial market chaos. Apparently, creating environments where algorithms can flail around endlessly with "non-saturating" nonsense is the new frontier of AI enlightenment. 🤖💸 Because who needs realistic benchmarks when you have infinite loops of market-derived gibberish? 😂

  2. It's interesting that this fascist takeover of government happens at a time when it's easier than ever to self-anesthetize. #BraveNewWorld #Soma #Huxley #Futurists #SF

  3. The Incredible, World-Altering ‘Black Swan’ Events That Could Upend Life in #2025 "What are the unpredictable, unlikely episodes that aren't yet on the radar but would completely upend American life as we know it?"
    15 #futurists, #foreignpolicy analysts and other prognosticators provide some explosive potential scenarios for the new year.

  4. "Did you ever wonder why the 21st century feels like (...) a bad #cyberpunk novel from the 1980s?

    It's because these guys read those cyberpunk novels and mistook a #dystopia for a road map. They're rich enough to bend reality to reflect their desires. But we're not #futurists, we're entertainers! We like to (write) b/c it's a cool setting for a noir detective story, not b/c we think #MarkZuckerberg or #AndreesenHorowitz should actually pump several billion dollars into creating it.

  5. A work for flute and (live) electronics, performed by Jaume Darbra Fa and recorded by Janet Sinica. This was a work I spent a lot of time conceiving, attempting to synthesize speech and flute sound. The poetry and sound painting ideas of Velimir Khlebnikov were the inspiration. There is now a decent score available, pm me if you want to take a look! #electronicmusic #liveelectronics #flute #futurism #futurists #poetry #synesthesia #womencomposers youtube.com/watch?v=BP1wAaPUlb

  6. #Futurists have been talking about anti aging biotech that is just around the corner for the last 20 years or so. Where is it already? I can't wait forever, I'm not getting any younger 👴🏼

  7. Mind-blowing and very entertaining episode of London Futurists podcast - “Hacking the simulation, with Roman Yampolskiy”

    Are we in a simulation? Can we break out of it? What is the motivation of those running it? Is it possible that every intelligent life eventually reaches a point when they create AGI that subsequently wipes them out? Is that why we can’t find anyone else in the universe? Are we about to create AGI ourselves..

  8. This feels like it could be a serious levelling up of our collective conversation and I have no idea what will come next but I am excited for it 🥳 Any #futurists out there with hypotheses or scenarios on how it could play out? 🤓

  9. Just attended my second metafuturism workshop with social scientists, musicians, AI specialists, and physicists organised by the Interdisciplinary Support Network MetaFuturism Lab. My first attempt at creating speculative fiction as a collective project. Such an interesting and stimulating space.

    Any futurists out here? Love to connect.
