I’ve used Tesla FSD for just a few days now and it’s already obvious that it is FAR more aware of pedestrians and cyclists than I could be. It has to be much safer for them than human drivers.

Just got my first Tesla and wow
It’s not a car
It’s a robot that happens to have wheels

This is impressive: it is a problem I had actually heard of. It looks like the solution approach is surprising to mathematicians. It was a general reasoning model rather than a specialized one: bitter lesson time. I think the stochastic parrot is now nuked from orbit.
AI has now solved a major open problem -- one of the best known Erdos problems called the unit distance problem, one of Erdos's favourite questions and one that many mathematicians had tried.

The Tesla FSD streak is an indicator of how *it* is doing, not how *you* are doing

It’s clear that AI will wind up funding universal income. Let’s make that happen ASAP.

The human brain processes visual information 60,000x faster than text. Humans are visual processors, not text processors. Images hit the brain instantly. Words take work. That's why a single SpaceX launch video communicates more than a thousand-word essay—and why your slide decks hit harder than paragraphs. We're wired for pictures, not prose.

I just asked a detailed research question in the philosophy of history relative to current research on Hans Blumenberg and the technological developments with AI to Grok, Claude and ChatGPT…
Grok 4.2 wins. It cited authorities (including finding my dissertation) and…

This is the most detailed study on personality and intelligence ever done:
First, the Big Five: Neuroticism is robustly associated with lower intelligence, particularly processing speed and quantitative ability.

We need a sovereign wealth fund that can transparently distribute dividends AND a mechanism for private entities to donate (Bitcoin?) to it
People would start cheering for and contributing to something that they can SEE is helping them

How many people are out there with world-shattering brilliance who could get into the Ivies, but they’re not mentally well enough to do it?

AI will have to learn to play as it learns to learn on its own
Play metaphorically connects disparate but analogous activities when it is not possible to directly practice the thing itself. @sarahookr

This is why AI needs a certain kind of play to create exercises for itself that are analogous to the problems that it recognizes that it can’t solve. I propose it should create games for itself that mimic the structure of problems it can’t solve. That’s a form of play.
