  1. Ok y'all...weirdness ahead.

    Thinkers for as long as we have thunk, have considered that we live in a dream state. Plato, Zhuangzi, Descartes had their caves and butterflies and demons, but philosopher Nick Bostrom updated it to the computer age, suggesting that *waves hands around* all of this is computer simulation.

    Here's where I leave the known, and don my tinfoil propeller beanie.

    You know how LLM companies have devoured all the available ram and compute power they can lay their hands on, right? And they're sucking power down like midsized cities for each data center.

    And the timeline started getting weirder and weirder the more data centers that went online.

    Y'all, I posit that LLM is destroying the universe. It's using all the compute and power that should be fueling the normal functions of the simulation.

    I'm just sayin, what if we turned them all off for a few months, just to see if normal happened?

  2. @wutti George #Orwell, hätte dabei eine feuchte Hose bekommen.

    Ich verstehe schon #LLM replizieren nur Muster der Datenquelle. (sehr simplifiziert)
    At best, werden halt die Verhaltens- und Sprachmuster der Nutzer geklont. Aber das Missbrauchspotential ist mit hinreichend krimineller Energie nahe unendlich.

    Ich will mir da gar nicht ausmalen, welche Einflüsse das auf parlamentarische System nehmen kann. Da bekommt "nie wieder wählen" einen sehr dystopischen Turn.

    Leider ist hier die Entwicklung der #Technologie sehr viel schneller als die Setzung ethischer und moralischer Standards und entsprechender Legislatur.

  3. A new paper argues that Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and related results imply a purely algorithmic “Theory of Everything” is impossible 🌌. Undecidable truths in physics point to a “Meta-Theory of Everything” grounded in non‑algorithmic understanding 🧠. This also suggests the universe cannot be a simulation 🚫💻.

    tl;dr Gödel killed the #SimulationTheory merry #xmas 🤣🤣🤣

  4. No - I promise that I am “not high” - but the following occurred to me when I woke up…

    So, currently many people say “this is the worst timeline” - and that could still be true.

    However, I think that the way things are going this “timeline” is either a simulation - or someone’s work of “speculative fiction”…

    This is the pivotal crux point where “it all goes off the rails”.

    Nazi fascists are back in power, the climate is going to collapse, the billionaires are running amok, there are just so many things that seem like “plot points” or “what if” events (if a simulation).

    Not that it matters to us who are in it - we are bound by the overall rules/narrative and consequences will occur.

    What is also interesting to think about is… Who are the “main characters”?
