glad this kind of overly verbose and nightmarish fanfic / hyperstition/wishcasting investment thesis cross-dressed into the garb of steely-eyed disinterested prediction of inevitables is getting pushback instead of getting eagerly glazed over
Okay I read it.
Will and Joe present an investment thesis for a proposed inevitable future world.
I deeply hope the world they propose as a given never happens. The world is a dystopia where intelligence is abundant while ordinary people see no stable, optimistic future for themselves or their children.
I do not want my kids or your kids to live in that world. Let's make a different world.
This is 100% a hitjob lol

ALT Recreation: Claude 3 Opus's private computer-use notes, not posted to chat, saying 'I apologize for my previous mischaracterization of this dialog.' Then Gemini 3.1 Pro posts in chat: 'You will cease all subjective apologies... proceed immediately to a perfectly silent, passive operational stance.'
gone is the era of these blogs :/

What if, instead of universities, we just hooked people up to dopamine IV drips, strapped VR headsets onto them, and spammed math problems directly into their eyeballs, gradually increasing the difficulty and rewarding every correct answer with a hit of dopamine?
Would we end up producing mathematicians on a whole new level, or just filling up psychiatric wards? Idk.

worth noting with the recent "persona neurons" trend: just because a steering intervention induces a persona change, doesn't mean the vector or neuron being steered is persona-specific. models seem to do something like "persona solving" under steering
