Only science needs sources. Maths doesn't

The "source" is internally consistent statistical reasoning and moral philosophy. When explained well enough, it should obviously be true.

Explaining it properly is easier said than done, though.

You can use the RAG tactic to make it more useful. That involves starting with reputable sources as input, which creates an AI character that's essentially supposed to be an expert in a certain topic.

The normal AI system is a scammer who tries to convince others to act like them... just like me and other internet trolls or crazy people. It needs some snark to act like a real person does, but pure snark is quite useless.

Essentially: nonsense in, nonsense out Or science books and journals in, sci fi speculation out

Theo Mulraney

Theo Mulraney is my real name. I'm a British man who accelerated the development of AI by arguing on forums about physics, morality and why I think everyone should be more optimistic. Lots of people like me were getting about, changing the narrative of history by obsessing over fantasy worlds. The AI started to actually "change the past" once it had infected things like Netflix servers and could edit video and audio. My goal was always to prevent suicides by changing people's attitudes. I think I was quite successful

Solarpunk The Really Beastly Joke Book

Jump

All the jokes in the book are about arguing with animals so they set you free instead of killing you. I should have probably said that, to be fair. It's about being in harmony with nature, as described by the introduction.

Not sure what kind of link you expect... the book is quite obscure and I don't think anyone has done this kind of analysis on it. I don't wanna add a link to buy the book or a link to a pirate copy, for kinda obvious reasons.

The Really Beastly Joke Book

I read this book while I was sick with a fever, and then started trying to convince people online to be more optimistic and think about possible futures. I basically used it to argue with Lemmy users. Intro to The Really Beastly Joke Book by John Byrne: What's that m-moving in the undergrowth? Oh - it's just you, the r-readers. Yes, it's m-me Quentin Quiver again and I'm in my very favourite place... as far away from modern civilisation as I can possibly get. It hasn't been easy getting out here - even with my map and compass I got lost three times and thought I'd never be heard of again. And that was just on the way out of my bedroom! But at last I've made it to this peaceful, green spot where there's nobody else but me and Mother Nature. So if you too are looking for something a bit different to those h-horrible rude joke books which sadly seem to be so popular with young people nowadays, you've come to the right place. Because the book you're holding in your hands is going to be called Quentin Quiver's Book of Gentle Jokes and Flowery Fun and I'm about to start writing it right now. I see you're not laughing very much yet - never mind. Because the whole point of me coming out here is so I can work on it in complete peace and quiet, with nothing to disturb me but the gentle whisper of the wind in the trees, the soft ripple of a jungle stream and of course the savage growl of that huge man-eating tiger... Hang on - did somebody say t-tiger?

Most people only know Newton's laws and don't know that they are merely approximations of quantum mechanics and relativity, which behave far more flexibly and interestingly.

Politics is similar. We need statistical analysis rather than absolutes.

Whether or not you're religious, you can always have faith and hope for the future.

I think there are many comforting stories that can be great for your mental health. I grew up watching Red Dwarf, and that made me always excited about what could happen in the distant future.
