I dream of gods and demons.last night I dreamed of Bahamut, Baphomet, and Pazuzu.Angels are said to be associated with the element of air. But what of the king of demons? https://t.co/UetlIjGM0Y
I dream of how to banish demons.https://t.co/AhzvMpgppl
I went from having all these AI + genetic + biology ideas in my head to having people working on them live in such a short time.Realizing that other smart people were thinking the same things, have the means to do it, but may not be doing them on the level, is what scares me.
I am not afraid of Diamandis.He speaks highly of tech that ablates the brain.https://t.co/CBivlCEPmO
Cuz I think we can regrow the brain."The brain tries to repair damage after a stroke by utilizing its own repair cells, which function like skilled craftsmen. However, their efforts are often obstructed by inflammation" https://t.co/LaKx99A4UXhttps://t.co/SFCIkKuA5D
"Historical data on the safety of some of these substances could serve in effect as phase 0 and phase I studies. [...] phase II trials will illuminate how these drugs may treat brain injury, particularly TBI and reperfusion injury from stroke." [JULY 2021]https://t.co/3K3a8QLHsb
There's a point where optimism ends up becoming naivety.https://t.co/8qykpc8oXL
I can't stop crying.All the technology I was interested in while growing up — technology to help me and my family — all are dual use.I am scared about how so many ideas in my head being weaponized by others who share the same intuition and influence.https://t.co/Iygx1QtRAW
There is hope. Sure.https://t.co/yS7dWRMvqB
These things could be used to kill lots of people too.https://t.co/0351NR2fsb
If you want to know the truth, you have to understand the things that make you upset to think about.https://t.co/Vc1w1ZYn1q
But I also think it is folly to ignore dual-use applications of this tech."So there should be some way of having the discussion, and if somebody goes rogue and does it, a way of handling that." — George Churchhttps://t.co/9dgAPV9Vmhhttps://t.co/8t0oVR0AUw https://t.co/fl10NwedGS
An AI that can predict how you can live longer is also an AI who can better predict how you die.https://t.co/MQ8WokW4yr
"invite to talk about machine learning and how it can be misused in our space. It’s something we never really thought about before. [...]I don’t want to sound very sensationalist about this, but it is fairly easy for someone to replicate what we did."https://t.co/CP7kiPf4Kc
This is literally baked into our freaking medical system since Hippocrates.You fucking fool.https://t.co/9HaYurxGk9
bio/acc?"there are these things that you know could potentially be big breakthroughs so many of them are adjacent to something that is that is quite dystopian [...] is this a deep law of nature, a deep truth?"https://t.co/37lgfEPJcr
These things go hand in hand. You can't train an AI that knows how to avoid killing people without telling an AI how people die to avoid it. https://t.co/QWNkxkFBvT
But I'm sure it will mean HUGE business opportunities.https://t.co/oMSWNzWi8o
@lopalasi @SilverJacket @NewYorker I'm literally learning how humanity has injuried ourselves throughout time in hopes of threading a needle of how to avoid it in the future.Learning how to heal people literally means learning how they die so we can prevent it.
Lobotomys are Meta Now??https://t.co/YYVHuS55K8
Eat shit.https://t.co/nvfXM0yqGM
Why eat shit when you can just heat up a part of the brain that causes tremors and risk burning a bunch of other important brain cells in the process?"Fecal microbiota transplant eases Parkinson’s symptoms in trial" [APRIL 2024]https://t.co/dLJmtHcHUUhttps://t.co/oRuj04cSQN

"I don't I don't really believe the science fiction version where the AI becomes a superhuman Godlike being [...] I think well before you get to that point it can be weaponized by humans in a military use [...] just as scary"https://t.co/obHnOXYoFyhttps://t.co/3aFGcHHl26
