This post covers:?? personal issues ; important economy news/PSA ;
discussion of the AGI project I want to do.
Because symptoms, I've started to monitor my blood sugar. I expected to
find traces of blood in my sugar but it was actually the other way
around. My morning numbers are around 90, trending up from the low 80s.
I basically pass out when it's below 80 which is understandable, a meal
gets me to about 130, higher than that seems to be problematic too. I
think I'll recover if I can keep it around 100 and should seek medical
help if I can't.
When the stock market crashes, the talking heads cry about the market
loosing a trillion dollars of value. WRONG! When the market crashes, and
it WILL crash, it simply means that the PRICE of stocks/assets are being
adjusted to thir actual value. The money was syphoned off the system
years ago.
The fundamental problem with the economy is that it has been
"financialized" that is instead of investments going into trains,
starships, hovercars, allowing me to have a career and a life, it has
instead gone into financial "derivatives" (byzantine ponzi schemes).
This will unwind and the day on which it does will be GLORRIOUS! The
numbers I've heard about the scale of the problem are on the order of
1e15... or a full 5 "hubbas".
The bottom line is that if you think you have pension fund, stock
portfolio, even a bank account, well you don't. POOF!!! All gone,
SUCKER!!!!?? Oh, the banks that stole your money WILL come to congress
and demand a bail out. If this bailout happens then it will be the doom
of western civilization. Trump knows this. If he is the man I think he
is, he'll issue these bankers a set of prison stripes and tell them to
crush rocks the rest of their days.
So yes, the financial news overwhelms all other news except, perhaps,
the farm reports. Everything happening in congress these days are a
clown show. Ignore them unless they start talking about bailouts, at
which point do everything humanly possible to stop them!

I'm glad to see that at least a few people on this list realize what's
at stake with AGI and what the costs of not achieving it will be.
Entheuseasm is necessary but so is FOCUS. I mean a lot of stuff I've
been seeing in the past few days seems to be either just tweets or Not
Even Wrong. Look, we don't have time to jerk off about silly pet
theories, we need to get shit done!
What I want for Christmas (Newtonmas) is software that fucking WORKS.?? I
mean I know I'm going to be in for a struggle because I haven't updated
my system since May due to an ongoing stupid number theory search, (will
end within 3 months at this point.) But after that I want the damn
package to Just Install, instead of installing 30 out of 32 packages and
then dying on the 31st due to some deep incompatibility that I can't fix
or shoehorn.
Then I want it to have good clear header files so that when AMD releases
Arcturus or something I can just fill in the header file and be up and
running...
The real problem is that I desperately need a platform on which to test
AI ideas. It could be a robot like the Nao or better, or it could be
something in VR. But it must be powerful, robust, and, most importantly,
RUN ON MY OWN FUCKING COMPUTER WITHOUT A COMPLETE REWRITE!!!!
Although I usually refrain from saying it, many of my posts could be
read as "I can't believe you are so dense not to realize... " Ok,
sometimes I'm wrong in that line of thought but look at the facts here.
What is the codebase of an AGI going to look like? In all likelyhood,
it's going to import lots of existing library code, especially for data
handling, storage management, etc. and then the custom code will
probably be more than 90% dead boring rote programming. Yeah, there will
be some cleverness in the implementation but the concepts will be
decades old, and the the last 5-7% will be the sexy secret sauce that
makes it all smart, etc.
So it's time to get Cereal.... Even if you aren't the type of crazy
genius that can work with the high concept stuff, there is immense
amounts of work to do getting the testing platform up and running and
the frameworks bulit up and tuned for various platforms. This can save
years off the deveolpment of AGI and can be done by any reasonably
competent programmer!
