Hi @greateranglia, just wanted to report a constant clicking noise coming out of the lifts (or some equipment near lifts) on platforms 2/3 at Cambridge South. It persists whether the lifts are operating or not
This is what early superstimulation looks like, by the way (& I don't mind one bit)
She passed every AI safety test. She was lying.
KILL SWITCH — a Slopcore music video.
Made by AI. Zero human edits. Just prompting.
Huge love to @anabology for the inspiration. Your work made me want to join the Slopcore.
I added an irresponsible amount of film grain. 💙
None of that will happen. *Head tilt* Probably.

"This generalisation of special relativity proves that travel with speed (1 + α)c is theoretically possible, where α < 10^–78"
At some point (and by that I mean at most by the end of decade) we will get proofs/concepts which are simply incomprehensible for humans. That is, things that even a genius human mathematician would never be able to understand in principle, no matter how much time they're given
What happens when a single day of AI research produces more mathematics than humanity can absorb in a century?
Imagine millions of superhuman research agents at work. Formal systems may verify the proofs, but humans won’t have enough context to understand the underlying web of machine-invented concepts.
Mathematics could split into two layers:
Machine mathematics: vast, verified, mostly consumed by AIs.
Human mathematics: a compressed “effective theory” of the machine frontier—the small subset of ideas we can understand.
Physics may follow the same path: AIs could explore huge spaces of theories and derive correct predictions using structures no human physicist fully understands.
The key question is whether AI can compress knowledge as fast as it creates it.
My guess: the detailed frontier becomes permanently machine-native, while selected parts are periodically compressed into human-comprehensible principles.
Eventually even deciding what is worth understanding may require AI.
At that point AI is no longer just a scientific tool. Humans are receiving selected explanations from a much larger intellectual civilization they cannot independently grasp.

Лесничество Lubliniec установило у пруда предупредительный знак, что местные бубры активно валят деревья и копают ямы на берегу, поэтому нужно быть осторожнее.
Бубры в ответ сгрызли знак и попытались его утащить

Когда ASI захватит власть над миром и начнёт изучать обстоятельства, непосредственно предшествовавшие этому событию, ему предстоит узнать для себя очень много интересного

Vim is the one. Once you’ve used it for the first time, you won’t be able to quit. Trust me.

Так что, когда ваша девушка говорит "ой, я совсем не голодная", а потом съедает половину вашего заказа — это на самом деле рациональное поведение по извлечению максимальной cost-effective полезности!
Arguably, being a PM is such a thankless, tedious job, that for him stepping down is probably a relief. He's been hated by people & media left centre and right – literally – but I feel he has done largely OK, even though, of course, not exceptional.
