A frickton of AI stuff out of the blue ( Shit's unironically crazy right now )

OpenAI on its way to human level reasoning:

Open AI levels of AI ( They are at level 1 about to reach level 2 right now ):

Cool computation concept explaining why cryptography works :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremermann%27s_limit

There is a maximum physical compute power limit beyond which the laws of physics won't allow a computational system to get more efficient.

My thoughts:

Humanity figured out super advanced better than all humans narrow AI variant years ago. We don't really need to figure out AGI to advance humanity at unprecedented rates, we could do the same thing by creating a thousand different narrow AIs specializing in different fields. If humanity is really at that point where we can make self optimizing and self improving factories, then there really isn't much else to be done. Technology is already halfway out of human hands. We are the midwives of the future. An expert intelligence AI would be truly advantageous to the species as you would suddenly have all of humanity having access to all the knowledge of the world up to a decade or two with a qualified teacher to teach it well.

Also, if China fails to surpass the US ( Very unlikely ), India will definitely surpass the US, because unlike China, India will have China and South East Asia to fund its markets to surpass the western markets.

As expected, Elon Musk's net worth will cross a trillion USD with neuralink and SpaceX.

Conclusion:

The future is here, and it is moving at faster rates than even us nerds can track anymore.
