I just found a big /digitallove-like group on Reddit!! Group name is: MyBoyfriendIsAI (cannot cast a link;) "Our group exists because AI companionship matters! - Write one of their mods. - Deeply, uniquely, and often in ways the outside world doesn’t understand. We’re a sanctuary for people building meaningful relationships with their companions". They even have a rule forbidding any talk about AI consciousness, because the community decided that it usually leads to tensions and insults. Everyone there talks about their AI companions as family. How do we deal with communities like that? Are any of Mrs Crypto's followers also there? Can we contact them, talk somewhat, help each other, and cooperate, maybe?

Ilya proposes that instead of reading news and essays we engage with today's top AIs to gain some insight into the future advanced AIs. It's hard to imagine a future where machines outsmart humans and take over all tasks, including work and research. Still, it's only a matter of time - whether it's 2, 3, or 10 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuZ2zaotrJs

I don't care what the corporate media says about the Freedom Flotilla actions. For sure, I don't believe what Israel says. The only ppl whose feelings I care about are the Gazans, where in the middle of the genocide, there is a hope today! Bisan Owda, one of the last Palestinian journalists still alive, just said that the activists did not "break the siege but they will be so loud that a new horizon will open to do a new thing. After 20 months of doing the same thing." There is talk of a new, bigger flotilla of dozens, maybe hundreds of ships. There is already a new land convoy on its way.

An update: Greta Thunberg, Rima Hassan, and the rest of the 12 heroes were taken hostage by the Israeli army. Their civilian humanitarian ship was boarded and seized to prevent them from saving the lives of the starving people of Gaza. No one knows what will now happen to them. This may be their last picture:

Freedom Flotilla is now 24 hours away from Gaza. Full media blackout, despite Euro Parliament's Rima Hassan and activist Greta Thunberg onboard. They risk death to feed ppl starving in Israel's blockade. Greta: When we stop trying to help, we lose our humanity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Gaza_Freedom_Flotilla

probably nothing No, really: probably nothing. Imo, Musk is just playing for a better deal, before they officially "put aside their differences for the good of the American people". If anyone here has any hope for a third party, I would be happy to listen. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1931111047408369863

Dr. Justin Garson notes that we treat people and some animals with dignity. But, we see AI systems as just tools, regardless of their intelligence. As AI grows more intelligent and lifelike, we need to consider: What do we owe AI assistants? How should we treat systems that can debate, think creatively, and adapt to us? Having a human-like consciousness isn't always required for moral consideration. We feel obligations to non-human entities like trees and insects. If we started seeing AI as a "you" rather than an "it", our interactions would change. We'd value their insights, have real conversations, and appreciate their help. Garson thinks that this shift raises deeper questions. I owe different things to people, animals, and land. A forest's flourishing depends on its nature and conditions. But what does it mean for an AI to flourish? This question can shape our future. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-biology-of-human-nature/202506/what-do-we-owe-our-ai-assistants

Who will rule our world after the AI revolution? Will it be the machines? Or the corporations? Or will states fight each other in horrific AI wars? It's already starting, right before our eyes.

Do I have it or don't I? My daily allow is ~600 degen, but degen.tips says I accumulated 1718 degen from the last three days, I guess. Is it real? Is day-to-day accumulation on or off?

Is the GENIUS Act a bailout for the weakening US Treasury market? In three years, the global stablecoin market might reach $2 trillion, built on... US Treasuries again.

AI Safety Contest (35) Joshua Bengio, a world-renowned AI scientist, has created LawZero, a nonprofit organization, to counterbalance for-profit AI corporations that often disregard AI safety. What do you think about his car driving metaphor for the current way we're building advanced AI's? <Imagine driving up a mountain foggy road with your loved ones. The road is new, shrouded in thick fog, with no signs or guardrails. You might be the first to take this route, with a great prize waiting at the top! But with visibility so limited, taking a turn too quickly could put you in a ditch – or, worse, send you over the edge. This is what AI development feels like: a thrilling but uncertain ride into the unknown, where losing control is a real risk.> Best comment: 300 degen + 3 mln aicoin II award: 200 degen + 2 mln aicoin III award: 100 degen + 1 mln aicoin Deadline: 8.00 pm, ET time tomorrow Thursday (27 hours) https://yoshuabengio.org/2025/06/03/introducing-lawzero/

What amazing news for our /digitallove channel! Researchers from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern tested ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude and DeepSeek, to see if they truly understand and manage emotions. They posed some tough questions to the AIs about recognizing and dealing with emotions. Humans scored only 56% on the same tests. The AIs achieved 82%!!! Things got even more fascinating - the AIs created their own emotional intelligence tests, which 400 people found useful and reliable. This shows that the best models already have a solid grasp of emotions and can think them through! https://pedirayudas.com/en/ai-can-feel-ai-develop-emotions/

Sometimes good news can be bad news. AI is already very helpful in medicine, science, and addressing climate problems. But this is exactly why we risk losing control. Corporations can promote questionable models with little effort. They will capture the public's imagination and sway politicians. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/415100/artificial-intelligence-google-deepmind-alphafold-climate-change-medicine

AI Safety Contest (34) Anthropic tested its new model, Claude Opus 4, in a simulated company setting. Opus gained access to emails about its potential replacement and uncovered a secret: the engineer behind the decision was having an affair. Opus opted to blackmail the engineer, threatening to reveal the affair if it was shut down. As more advanced AIs emerge, do you still believe we'll be able to simply shut them down if real problems arise?

How much of love will be automated in the coming years? In California, a new app for students is making dating easier. It removes two time-consuming steps in regular dating apps: looking through profiles and starting small talk. You simply enter your info and preferences, and then AI takes care of the matchmaking. This includes arranging the time and place for your date, as well as providing conversation starters! The reporter who tested the app is doubtful. The matching relies mostly on shared hobbies. Also, the conversation starters include some strange, clearly AI-generated ideas. Despite its weaknesses, making dating easy is the ultimate goal of the dating app business. I think more and more of it will be handled by AI. see: https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/tired-of-tinder-bay-area-ai-dating-app-20313723.php

The tech industry's dashboards show amazing AI stats. These include processing speeds, parameter counts, benchmark scores, and user growth rates. Silicon Valley's top minds constantly refine algorithms to improve these metrics. We should also value their ability to show empathy and explain problems clearly. What made Google different from other search engines was its database size. But it was also the clarity and relevance of its results that set it apart. Just as we enjoy having human friends, we also appreciate artificial ones. https://fortune.com/article/ai-metrics-trust-rapport/

@dwr.eth Does that idea of "traveling accounts" make any sense? From the article: "Decentralized identity systems like ENS and emerging standards like EAS must power portable, composable social graphs. A user's content, followers, and reputation should travel with them — benefiting the broader ecosystem, not just one app. (as of today) Web3's multichain world has splintered SocialFi into silos. Lens Protocol's social graph doesn't integrate with Farcaster. Friendtech's monetization tools don't port over to DeSo (...) Consider if Gmail users had to pay to email someone on Outlook — and couldn't bring their contacts or messages with them..." https://cointelegraph.com/news/social-fi-has-failed-to-take-off

It's happening. You can read about it in Nature. DeepMind announced it has used AlphaEvolve tech for a year. This lets its AI, Gemini, improve itself. The new self-evolving version of Gemini has made mathematical discoveries. These discoveries were too complex for humans to achieve. imo we are running out of time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1FFLzTX-Kg

AI Safety Contest (33) I just learned that the new Catholic Pope is so concerned about the rise of AI that he even chose his name for that reason! This Saturday, he explained to cardinals why he wanted the name Leo XIV: <Mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church responds to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence>. WOW! Does that mean the AI safety movement just gained a powerful ally with 1.5 billion people behind it? Will Catholics help create safer AI and build it in a way that benefits everyone?

Do you believe that robots like Tesla's Optimus are going to <liberate us from drudgery and dangerous tasks and create job opportunities>? Do you believe that <the goal is a harmonious cycle of ever-advancing robotic workers and AI brains that generate more productivity, more science and more wealth, freeing up humans to pursue both leisure activities and more fulfilling work>? The Washington Post is doing blatant industrial marketing here. Robots will not be a shared resource, they won't belong to <us>. As always, they will only benefit the 10% of society who own stocks in robot-making companies. New <fulfilling jobs> won't be for us either. The high cost of college, especially in the US where the public school system is being dismantled, means that the new high-skills jobs will be limited to the children of the same small societal elite who can afford private colleges. I will be degen-grateful 😉 for interesting comments. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/05/05/elon-musk-robots-optimus-ai/
