Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Thread

What's more surprising that he claims to be an atheist and materialist. But he doesn't blindly adhere to materialist dogma, and seemingly loves to troll. The "Cycles of Time" attempts to throw out one of the sacred cows of modern cosmology (which Penrose helped developing to a large extent), inflation, and it's almost as ugly as economic inflation.

What's your exposure to Penrose's works, if it's not too personal? Are you a mathematician?

I've never heard Penrose call himself an atheist? He's more on the fence I would say. I have a biology background from a long way back, but like to think of myself as an old fashioned naturalist; (not a naturist mind you) Someone who studies nature broadly and is not stuck in one-directional thinking.

Don't quote me on this, but as far as I remember, he used "I'm an atheist" as a deflection when asked whether he is Jewish (he has some ancestry from Polish and Russian Jews, but not enough that he'd be considered a 'member of the tribe' before he won his Nobel). And in his books, including ones that go a great deal from pure mathematics and theoretical physics and into philosophy, he tactfully avoids the question of God's existence altogether.

I would describe him as more agnostic, but with an open mind. Not explicitly atheist.

Chinese Startup Trials First AI Doctor Clinic in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia Revolutionizes Healthcare with First AI Doctor Clinic​


A Chinese startup has launched the world’s first AI-powered clinic in Saudi Arabia, revolutionizing how patients receive medical care. Synyi AI, a Shanghai-based medical technology company, partnered with Almoosa Health Group to introduce this innovative trial program in Al-Ahsa. The clinic aims to replace human doctors as the first point of contact for diagnosing and treating patients.

Patients visiting the clinic interact with an AI doctor named “Dr. Hua” through a tablet, describing their symptoms in detail. The AI follows up with specific questions and analyzes medical data, such as X-rays and cardiograms, with assistance from human staff. After the consultation, Dr. Hua provides a treatment plan, which a human doctor reviews and approves. Human doctors remain available for emergencies that AI cannot handle.


Doctors are toast. If you have blood samples write them in Grok. I had some blood work done recently. And Grok gave me exactly the same solutions the doctor gave. In the second appointment I knew what he would ask for. My colesterol is bad. Time to fix it. A friend of mine when he has big lunches he takes a medicine and the fat is not absorbed and leaves through shit the next day. He only takes that shit when he is going to eat a lot. And it´s working for him. I might give it a go.

What will the elites do with the great mass of unwashed useless eaters? First UBI and after?

If Musk doesnt achieve interplanetary fast. Things will go really bad. Gates said there would be only 3 types of jobs left in the future:

- People who work in AI
- People who give emotional support to humans
- People working in electrical system.

I doubt this is true. Everything will be replaced by AI.

Btw the big pie now in Europe is in AI and defense industry. That´s where the parasites are all flocking.

This is absolutely the direction things are headed. With the availability of AI tools, the creation of visual media will soon be largely decentralized, much the same way that high quality indie computer games can nowadays be created by small teams or individuals and widely distributed online (whoever creates the Steam equivalent for indie filmmakers will make a fortune). This will create the potential for a massive cultural shift, as content that was previously blocked by gatekeepers (read: Jews in Hollywood) will become freely available. For example, there is an incredible demand for high quality Christian entertainment that is massively underserved in the current film/TV market, and this market will undoubtedly be tapped by talented Christian filmmakers using cutting edge AI software. The same is true for nationalist/conservative visual media more generally. Basically, imagine an entire generation of young Mel Gibson writer/directors making movies with the help of AI. That's what we're looking at going forward. The potential for AI is really exciting in that regard.

The speed of progress is astounding. Our entire conception of audiovisual media is about to undergo a paradigm shift. The idea of building elaborate sets, hiring actors and filming them with a camera will soon seem as antiquated to us as the horse and buggy. This is a profound and utterly game-changing technology that is going to impact society to the same - if not greater - degree as electricity, the automobile and the internet. The most incredible thing is that you still see people dismissing AI as some sort of gimmick or parlor trick. At this point, anyone dismissing the power of AI (for both good and ill) is frankly either delusional, oblivious or in a state of willful denial. This technology is going to touch literally every aspect of society, and will utterly transform most of them (i.e. I already mentioned how it will revolutionize audiovisual production, but the impacts to fields like education, healthcare and software development will be equally if not more profound).

If you're a parent, it's incumbent upon you to ensure that your children walk the fine line of being able to utilize this technology without becoming reliant and/or enslaved to it. Because AI is at once the greatest educational tool ever created, and the fastest way to turn someone's brain to mush - through lack of use (outsourcing thinking to the AI) and consumption of endless amounts of custom-generated slop entertainment (coming soon).

I agree with most of that, but the decentralized part is a big question? From what I've seen so far the AI companies are both very centralized (well, they have to be with the current technology) and extremely prone to censor things. This could be a big problem. They are even going to war with the few open source generation software tools you can use if you have a powerful GPU, like Civitai.

They blame things like kiddie-porn, but I don't buy it, as they censor even political and race related content. The AI companies blame the credit card companies, who are in turn beholden to big-Gov, and they want control. How can we escape this dynamic, I don't know...(Chinese AI is a bit less censorship prone, like Kling and Hailuo, but not by much)
