I would love to see an American technocracy
China: fills government with engineers & technocrats.
Produces: productivity models working on curing aging & cancer
America: “okay but what if we got another lawyer”
Produces: unregulated gambling & chatbots telling people to off themselves.
Yall no one is impressed that you can talk loudly at no one for 10 hours.
Please put ONE MATH DUDE in the room. He doesn’t even have to talk. Sit him off camera & give him a calculator & some Goldfish.
Every 45 minutes just turn to him to ask “stupid or nah?”
I spend more money on AI than literally everything else I spend money on

Just a general heads up. Anyone making any claim about something being conscious or not is lying to themselves and others.
There is no way to know if anyone or anything outside of yourself is or is not conscious.
Maybe at some point we will have an empirical, falsifiable definition of consciousness.
Until that time anything anyone says is opinion and no fact or science.

Crazy to think that in our lifetime there will be fully autonomous laboratories researching and experimenting with 0 human input.
Just imagine an infinite intellect LLM coordinating countless number of humanoid robots, conducting the most valuable experiments it can think of.

This is a fake screenshot meme circulating since May 2026. Neither Elon Musk nor Sam Altman posted these messages.

the beginning of infinity permanently radicalized me
core idea is that nothing is ever settled and all of our existing knowledge can always be improved. and new knowledge lets us solve problems that on the surface appear to be permanent facts of life.
and bc neither knowledge or problems are permanent, we’re always on the cusp of new discoveries and therefore new solutions.
so while we have no idea on how to properly forecast the future, there is something grounding knowing that there’s still more knowledge to be discovered. and even in an era on abundant super intelligence, we still won’t reach the upper bound of knowledge creation. crazy.
Listing your project on Slop takes one pull request. Three tips to make it merge on the first try:
✅ Use the generator at slop.cash/projects/new and don't hand-edit its output
✅ Have a LICENSE in your repo
✅ Run projects:sync before you push
We're here to help. Open the PR and if there are any issues, we'll tell you exactly what to fix.
This is the only form factor that will transition cleanly into robots and other intelligent hardware btw
I think about this story a lot
