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/

Elyakim Kislev in the book <Relationships 5.0> tells the big story of human love and family. He says that for thousands of years, people lived in small clans in a hunter-gatherer society. In the agricultural era, households with multiple generations became common. It wasn't until the Industrial Revolution that the nuclear family, consisting of two parents and a few children, became the norm. However, this has already changed due to individualism and digital communication. Now, we're entering a 5th era, where technology, such as chatbots and robots, is becoming a part of our families and emotional lives.

For 1.5 years the big media in the US and Europe hide and whitewash the Gaza genocide, giving cover to politicians. Now, after 40 000 civilian deaths, at the end of food and hope in Gaza, some editorial boards suddenly find their lost conscience... https://www.ft.com/content/f5fd6f8d-06a7-4d1f-b842-752e3aca9272

AI Safety Contest (32) I was long time worried that only a major AI disaster, taking millions of lives, can unite us for AI safety. But I may have been too... optimistic. Daniel Faggella argues that the event called "AI Hiroshima" may not lead to global safety agreements. If the media blames an insignificant group of "terrorists," large nations will likely ignore AI safety treaties. It’s will be even tougher when superpowers like the US or China push aggressive AI. Take a look at different scenarios in Daniel's video below.

Here's a promising digital love project I just discovered, called "Beyond Swipes". Like our channel, they recognize the loneliness pandemic and superficiality of relationships as a serious and painful problem. Their CEO promises to go beyond a typical AI dating app and build the first AI-native dating environment. An exciting feature will be AI onboarding. Gone are the days of tedious profile setup and writing about your tastes! Instead, you'll start with a conversation with an AI agent. You'll immediately receive personality insights and relationship readiness scores. Are you shy? Talk to someone's AI agent before interacting with that person! Once fully developed, Beyond Swipes' AI agents are expected to become not only AI girlfriends but also career consultants, and psychiatrists. Time will tell how many of these ambitious plans become a reality. The initial ideas seem very promising and spot on. We'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daA8SfLCryw

I disagree. The “soft extinction” by “leaving the real world” was good when organized by medieval bishops and kings but it is bad now when the soulless corporations rule, heaven are replaced by VR, and angels by AIs? I’m not buying it at all.

HODL was always a crypto death spiral, imo. Something new did emerge before the "digital gold" and HODL era: non-gov money, debanking, and contesting assets. These ideas focused on the real world, not just speculation. We even discussed a fully automated, fair FED for a while... Now, it's all just dust and shame.

Humans depend on artists, scientists, and religious visionaries to create a mental picture of the world around us. Now, Google's AI model Genie3 constructs a virtual reality that another AI can <see> and <explore>. (video below, 3.23-4.00) AI education is becoming more like our own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUbx5RC8ro4

A new breed of AI prompts is emerging, focused on fixing love troubles. Take the red flag interpreter, for example: you give an AI model a scenario, like "I just went on a date with someone who said/did \[DETAILS\]", and it gives you three possible explanations what that might mean. Then there's the closure prompt, where you ask it to help you write a message to move on from \[NAME\] in a respectful way. Some prompts are super ambitious, like: "Help me figure out my ideal partner based on what I value, what I want to achieve, and what I'm like in relationships – what should I look for and avoid?" I'm not sure regular AI models like GPT4 or Claude can give reliable advice on deep stuff like that without some extra training. But I'm sure we'll see more AI specially trained for love and relationships soon. https://www.msn.com/en-in/autos/photos/want-to-fix-your-love-life-these-ai-prompts-might-make-it-all-rosy-again/ar-AA1D56HW

We could have dangerous human-level AGIs in just a few years, by 2027! AI research has slowed down, and we're still a long way from creating true AGI. Shouldn't we be worried that we can't get scientists, journalists, and politicians to agree and take action together? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htOvH12T7mU https://www.newsweek.com/ai-impact-interview-yann-lecun-artificial-intelligence-2054237
