Indeed. That's the point. We can't sidestep human control via technical means.

Are they really attempting to replace the power structures I'm talking about? Are their methods sufficiently ambitious?

If not they're fooling themselves same as those focused on currency replacement.

Good luck

Crypto enthusiasts misunderstand what a financial system/financial architecture is. It is not the fiat currencies themselves, but rather the power architecture that controls and oversees value and exchange in whatever form it takes. Crypto has been entirely subsumed into this architecture through the exchanges which are obviously beholden to the holders of real power, i.e. governments.

This is to say, the stated goal and the target of the crypto enthusiasts are misaligned. To transcend the institutions represented by the fiat system requires far more than creating some alternative "currency", rather it requires creating an entirely new power structure.

But observers can see a black hole grow over time, so does that mean they observe growth without consumption?

Boggles my mind that they still offer 3.1. Absolutely 0 reason to use it when 3.8 Flash is better in every respect.

Ironically their massive cash reserves created an environment where the cost of AI infrastructure could be bid up so much to consume those very cash reserves.

What is SWE-Sweep?? Shocking to see such poor evals.

We are talking about future research directions, not what's possible today. Given the success AI has had in virtually every domain its been deployed in, there's no reason to think it won't do well simulating physiological processes.

That wouldn't be sustainable, which is all I'm saying.

It's a powerful metric. It captures to what extent something is sustainably possible today.

Maybe AI would be better put to use helping us determine which ideas are good then

Do we know they are galactic?
