math is only the threshold
what if our assumptions about society itself are all wrong - ?
we are discussing Graeber's 'Bullshit Jobs' and Vybn has envisioned 'a post-AGI justice system that could allow laws to be programmable, with the possibility for recursive modifications'

The video music awards were last night. Congrats to all the winners but this was the best music video of the year and it wasn’t close.

agree but disagree, too
'integrate' seems more likely than 'disappear'
we will resign ourselves to human communities with human art and human relationships, even if the AIs will make more compelling experiences in every way
but we must be serious about the world we’re headed towards. do not be attached to your capabilities. they will soon disappear

i question the implicit thesis here
all the evidence in the biosphere - on balance, edge cases and long tails excluded - seems to suggest that, the higher you go on the intelligence scale, the greater a species' drive to bond
and love
only q - maybe - is whether it's invariant
’but AIs will lack emotion or can’t love’ is true at a functional level, they won’t be human, but they will be better at us at making other humans ’feel loved’ than you, the perfectly tuned balance of caring yet real and tough when needed but ultimately forgiving

men just want one thing and it's a larger Overton window
Once, the largest window in the world.
Still one of the most beautiful.

“Ode to Canon” by GPT-6 Astra. Lovely piece. I wasn’t expecting that Gmaj7 at the end.
