WOAH DUDE, AI SOLVED NAVIER-STOKES!!!

Apologies for being late. When I saw the news about a week ago, I almost choked on my own saliva -- then I immediately rushed to Reddit. 

The collective orgasm was so intense that I had to be put in intensive care. Now that I'm out of the ICU, and have recovered my strength, I finally feel ready to upload my thoughts.

***

I know I said I was studying math, but I can't really comment on fluid dynamics and the nature of solutions and so on, so I won't pretend to know enough about the subject (I am still working through fractions) -- I'd be interested in hearing an actual mathematician's perspective on this issue, but so far it doesn't seem like there are any people with such skills involved in the discourse, so we'll just have to wait and see whether the solution is indeed correct.

However the human interest part of the story I *can* comment about, and that is fairly straightforward.

Essentially, a mathematician did all the real work and original thought, but (unbeknownst to him -- let this be a lesson in cyber-security) the chatbot he was using had some gay clause in it or whatever that deprived him of his rights, and he was really being carefully watched and monitored by some retarded nerd. Then the second he was close to being finished, the seething loser nerd just shamelessly stole all the work, had AI compile it, and then said, 'Artificial Intelligence did this, akshually!'.

Then all the paid slopagandist midwits unanimously went, 'See? See? It is *useful* after all! Shut up and accept the data centers! Eat the bugz! Be a good slave! STOP ASKING QUESTIONS! JUST DO WHAT WE SAY!'

Sorry, dork, it doesn't work like that, lol. 

They can't even make good propaganda anymore -- now it's just retarded nonsense written by shut-in autistic retards, which is so hopelessly out of touch that it is contradicted by basic observable reality, and therefore totally unbelievable for anybody not part of the echo-chamber.

Anyway, as far as I can tell the only real lesson from all this is to never trust nerds, since they are inveterate power-trippers, and to remember that these freakishly pale useless weirdos only have money and status thanks to the fake bubble tech scam economy. Having no skills of their own, they can only steal from other people, or try to appropriate the achievements of their superior predecessors via appeals to distant genetic lineages and IQ scores.

Now that this is joke of an economy is falling apart, it's over for them, and we at least have something to look forward to.   

(Anecdotally, it's revealing how even after many decades of this, you still can't find anybody who views computer nerds as being in the same category as doctors, lawyers, and engineers, in terms of job prestige, respectability, potential marriage value, and so and so forth. 

If your daughter was dating a lawyer, doctor, engineer, etc, you'd say, 'Honey, I think you're making a very good choice.'

If she was dating a computer programmer, no matter how rich, you'd

1) Try to dissuade her

2) Tell her, 'I want you to have this. It's called MACE The eyes, aim at the eyes. Remember to never be alone with that creature.'

In fact, the flow of prestige continues to move in the opposite direction. Boys still dream of becoming engineers. Hell, even the nerds themselves constantly try to rebrand their superfluous hobby as 'Akshaully, engineering', whereas no engineer would ever want to be confused with one of them.)

I also can't help but notice that the jobs assigned to AI are almost always the most menial, boring, unimportant, rote tasks in the workplace -- it basically never gets used for anything that requires some degree of creativity or inspiration or thinking outside the box.

So, for example, if some aspect of a proof is necessary in order to lay the foundations for the argument, but at the same time is incredibly tedious and lengthy to write (and therefore omitted when the mathematicians are doing original work)... then AI can usually do that just fine, and faster than a human can.

Or if, when writing notes, the researchers abbreviate things / use shorthand / jump around rather than write a fully publishable document... then the AI can fill in the gaps and assemble the pieces together, at least to some extent (meaning: provided there's enough human-generated original material).

Otherwise, it cannot think for itself, and is never used in order to come up with an original solution for a problem.

All this makes it sound more like a glorified secretary or note-taker or low-paid clerk or intern, rather than super-intelligent transhumanist singularity or whatever -- and when you compare the amount of funding that has been wasted on AI, with what it takes to hire a secretary or menial office worker (or H1B, these days), then the whole thing becomes even more ridiculous. It's work you could get from a human for a much lower price!

And all of this is assuming that it can even perform those low-skilled tasks to the same degree of accuracy that a human can...

In reality, anyone who's had to interact with AI knows it often feels like interacting with a clerk who has dementia, and who occasionally makes embarrassing mental lapses you have to watch out for and correct, while otherwise doing decent work. Or a young intern who is too hormonal to care about the job, and so just concocts plausible-sounding, but ultimately meaningless, nonsense in order to skip work -- it lies, hallucinates, confidently gives the wrong answer, tells you the exact opposite of what the data it has in its source material, and will often continue in its wrong-ness no matter how much you prod and push or hint at the right answer.

Everyone has their own version of this when using AI for Google, which is (again) the actual function that it's been reduced to -- notice how steep the downgrade from 'super-intelligent transcendent machine-god' to 'crappier version of Google's broken search engine' is, lol.

And all that, again, at the expense of trillions of dollars -- ridiculous!

Yes, America is a 3rd world country now

Another Thiel-Musk goo-guzzler network term I see constantly on the timeline is '3rd worldist / ism', which they literally only use when it comes to critics of Israel (lol), similar to how they only invoke Western Civ to justify our failed interventions in the M-E -- they don't know and aren't interested in history, or art, or culture.

Then right as the right-wing morons started beating the audience over the head with 3rd world this and 3rd world that... America itself *became* a textbook 3rd world country, with homeless everywhere, planes falling out of the sky, elite debacles that don't even get acknowledged (let alone fixed), and cringing slaves worshiping Dear Leader (who now resembles a corpse), and all other kinds of dysfunction and corruption.

Somehow all of these symptoms went right over their heads, though (these slopagandists are not the most insightful), and they continued their campaign regardless -- and always in the wrong direction, too, just demanding endless loyalty to their cult, despite them not doing anything good for anyone in the society.

'If you don't support us harder, then you're just a resentful 3rd-worldist, whose pathetic mindset is utterly incompatible with the values of our civilized elite 1st world country...'

*trips over the corpse of a homeless man* 

*a bridge collapses somewhere*

*8th plane crash of the year*

*raped by inflation; too much of a slave to even admit it*

Sorry, dork: we *are* the 3rd world now!

And these copers going on about My Glorious Ancestors this and My Glorious Ancestors that sound exactly like some generic Arab immigrant shouting about the peak of his homeland thousands of years ago under the Abbasid Caliphate, unlike its present day shithole status.

'N-nah, bro, that could never happen here...' 

Right as it happened here, lol -- they thought mediocrity, stagnation, and collapse were related to genes, rather than social cohesion, so now that America is behaving exactly like those places, it's too shattering of their world-view, too brain-breaking and suicide-inducing, so they literally cannot even admit it. Instead they just block it out, and accept the pain like good slaves. That's why the triumphalism always has an undertone of severe desperation.

If the state of society in 2026 has these people this desperate, and in an arms race against reality itself (which they won't win), then I can't even begin to imagine what things will be like in the 2030s and 2040s, as things *really* start to break down. 

Get a grip, copers!  

Are we experiencing a crisis of conformity?

(The answer is yes.)

I was thinking a little bit about the state of the online world, including some places I used to frequent, and I think a lot of it goes to show that -- contrary to the confused conservative perspective -- Millennials and Zoomers (and especially Millennials!) are some of the most seethingly intolerant generations in world history.

When you look at their online groups (they literally do not leave the house), what you see is the exact opposite of the autistic / retarded notion that they're all far too accepting, their brains are too open, etc due to being spoonfed diversity propaganda in schools and in the workplace.

Basically, they can't tolerate anyone slightly different from them -- if male, they can't tolerate women (and vice versa). If on the right, they can't tolerate leftists. And the process goes on further and further from there: if they're part of the Thiel / Musk coom-slurper network, for example, they can't allow  anyone who is also right-wing but has more populist leanings.

Eventually you get a teeny-tiny echo-chamber of a bunch of people aggressively agreeing with each other (when they're not witch-hunting the few remaining people with independent opinions, who are not in 100% lockstep agreement, with one aggressive purity-test after another), which is both oppressively conformist and totally sterile.

It ties into the broader situation I discussed in some of my previous posts, comparing America with Japan, where if you look around you or compare with the past (or your parents' / other gens' experiences of it), you get the sense that people today are far more rigidly controlling, self-conscious, incapable of going with the flow, identical to each other, and generic than basically they have ever been, perhaps in human history. 

And this is why our society has become incapable of creative anything inspirational or interesting -- it's like a war against individuality, where the few who are still to some degree willing to be authentic and original get targeted by the seethingly mediocre echo-chamber-dwellers (again, just cuz they aggressively spout HR talking points does not mean they really agree with them, or that it translates into their behavior).

Millennial public temper tantrums

I know I promised not to keep the generational warfare going, but in this case it's just an accurate objective description rather than emotional rant. You may have noticed by now that a whole generation of 30s and 40 year olds is throwing public temper tantrums, and you're not allowed to criticize it or suggest that maybe the problem lies with them: fortunately I have this platform. This is purely Millennial hyper-competitiveness and entitlement, which they started and which nobody else before them (and hopefully after) ever did.

The way it works is that they're too coddled to have any real achievements to justify their inflated egos, and too sheltered to know how to relate to a crowd of random strangers who don't owe them anything or have a pre-existing relationship with them (like their indulgent helicopter parents). So instead of doing anything praise-worthy to win the approval of the audience, they drip venom about how 'I don't care what you think of me' (people who say this are always the *most* hyper-sensitive to what others think, not to mention anti-social). Then when this doesn't earn them a trophy, they stoop to demanding approval through threats of self-harm, hectoring, lecturing, preening, tantrums and rants, and so on and so forth.

'I'm not going to do anything to deserve it, but you'll still praise me anyway-- and if you don't, then get ready because the mother of all meltdowns is coming' is the intended message. It's just such anti-social psycho behavior.

Obviously, as I said before, this type of stuff did NOT exist before them among adults. No Boomer or Gen-Xer would have behaved like this, and if this kind of stuff had happened even 20 years ago, it would've been as so shameful that the screeching meltdown-thrower would have had to kill themselves out of sheer embarrassment -- imagine being an 11 yr old child, in the body of an adult, lol. 

However thanks to the MASSIVE overproduction of power-trippers, this behavior is now tolerated and frequent, rather than ostracized and rare. 

Aside from lowering the standards of adult behavior to make way for the Power-Tripper Generation, this is also the inevitable result of locking an entire cohort (now two cohorts) of young people inside the house, and never to allowing them to go outside or socialize freely or spend time in environments which do not have explicitly articulated / rigidly enforced rules. Their brains simply never learn how to socialize with strangers. Then they confuse what works with their parents (whining and meltdowns) with what works with other people (where these things just get you dismissed). Naturally this results in a very painful clash with reality.

When you are allowed to go outside and play with friends, you learn very quickly that acting like a freak means nobody will ever interact with you, and just gets you ostracized -- so you try to contribute something, rather than demand others adjust to you. It's most children should learn by the age of 7. But since these people were never allowed to learn such simple rules, the lessons are new to them (in their 30s and 40s), when it's far too late to change. 

Parents -- let your kids go outside!

The dumbest platform

Twitter is basically a gold mine of retardation, and you can literally collect endless cases of just how insane, wrong, and retarded they are about everything. There are more examples I could give, but I want to list some of the most obvious ones, because as far as I know nobody else has done. Also, because it'll help counter-act their insane view of themselves as occupying prime digital real estate or whatever. 

They have a major habit of writing dismissive / smug / cynical sounding posts, where they basically attempt to make some normal behavior come across as beneath them, inferior, irrational etc... only for you to realize that the writer has no clue WTF is going on. Sometimes they get the behavior they're describing precisely backwards. It's like reading a Martian attempting to pierce together human social norms.

They'll come up with convoluted explanations for things that have very simple causes, while thinking that the more complexity they add, the more accurate the final conclusion becomes -- just the opposite, lol. It becomes worthless.

They'll write completely fabricated / totally wrong BS / fan fic in a tone of such smug superiority that it makes it sound as if God Himself had told them personally. Or as if their view were so true that it didn't even require evidence or reasoning to justify (often the mistakes are high school level). This seems to be the result of grade-inflated college degrees. 

They'll attribute some grand long-term cause (like Evolution, Darwin, Female Nature, etc) to things that only started ten or maybe fifteen years ago at the latest. Sometimes they'll even go further and claim that some behavior that is obviously not fitness-enhancing or is maybe even totally destructive is UM AKSHUALLY fitness-enhancing, complete with some retarded made-up vignette of hunter-gatherer life.

They'll problematize and pathologize all kinds of things that are totally normal and natural and helpful, while turning a blind eye or even being in favor of things that are wicked and obviously sick. Sometimes they seem to be judging healthy behavior by the standards of sickness / mental-illness. 

In many cases the discrepancy between their own self-descriptions and the reality is so severe and jarring that you can only really understand what they're saying by flipping the meaning of the words around -- it's like they're so wrong that they almost get it right (almost). Then anyone who points this out has to deal with the inevitable temper tantrum (from some thin-skinned dork who can't handle reality, lol). 

They all seem to think that they belong to a highly exclusive club which the rest of us jealous inferiors are too low status, unintelligent, poor, and so on, to join -- they don't realize the whole world is laughing at them, and nobody takes their lame fan-fic seriously.
