It is good that you have turned away from the regrettable days of your past

People are born with different levels of aptitude, motor skill, and learning rate. Some people also work very hard at their studies. For the people who reach the top levels in instrumental performance, you find invariably that they were both born with a high aptitude and spent a great amount of time and energy to get there.


I read the reply to your comment not as much as an answer to your statement but a general warning to anyone who might be reading.


The most plausible explanation, based on the facts so far provided, is that it is Harigai, and he is not happy with how the game/company turned out and does not want to be reminded about it anymore.

The fact is that, if there were only one AGI that were ever to be created, then yes it would be quite unlikely for that to happen. Instead, what we are seeing now is you get an agent, you get an agent, etc. Oprah style. Now just imagine that a single one of those agents winds up evil - you remember that an OpenAI worker did that by accident from leaving out a minus sign, right? If it's a superintelligence, and it becomes evil due to a whoopsie, then human extinction is now very likely.

Because we exist inside time, not outside it.


Same reason you're not dead yet.


How do you know it hasn't?


The whole point of the space stuff is not accepting all life dying out on any timescale.


Even rocks don’t last. What do you expect?


Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok all fulfil the 'whatever topic I am interested in this second, there are videos about it' property, though admittedly they do not have near as much meritorious long-form content as YouTube.


Damn, I didn't know you could watch your long videos on TikTok. When did this happen?


According to the first Reddit thread that appeared as a result when I searched on Google, March 2022.
