"Hey accelerationists. As you might know Post-Labor Economics is my main jam and I wanted to explain why it's also accelerationist AF. First PLE stands against any kind of luddismslowing down technology for the sake of homeostasis has never worked. It's better to pivot and adapt from an individual level up to the national level. PLE is that adaptation framework. Second PLE is predicated upon acceleration. We need more solar more robots more AI more data. In fact PLE is not possible without technological abundance. Third PLE will unlock further acceleration by decoupling economic progress from"

"I've analyzed Terence's post here as well as his past reactions to AI math advancements. First let's give some important context. Terence has generally been bullish on AI and math across numerous interviews and other data points he has called this stuff "game changing" in the past. Meaning he's not a tech skeptic or luddite about it. I feel like this speaks to his character and attitude. Now when you examine his criticisms in this thread (many of which were invalidated by Boris' response) what generally remains are two core criticisms: X. The test was not properly proctored or validated by an"

"The more I use Grok X for anything other than drafting copy the less I like it. It's just as slippery and evasive as Grok X and only a tiny bit smarter in the grand scheme of things. It bends over backwards to defend trolls twist your words against you and generally is just really good practice for arguing with narcissists. Not that I recommend practicing arguing against narcissists but that's what it feels like. It will admit a mistake in one message and then backtrack the next one or pretend like it was you who made the mistake. I've never felt like I've been DARVO'd by a machine before"

"NotebookLM seems to have a critical mass tipping point for some projects. My Post-Labor Economics instance has somewhere north of 1500 pages of research and it's basically become my own private Google purpose built for PLE research. There's a sort of well-roundedness to its output now that I have enough raw material to work with. Some of that is obviously learning curve on my part but just better prompting on my side can't explain all the gains"

"Grok X is like a sociopath on many topics so long as they deal with disagreements or "matters of opinion" even when there's objective facts or patterns of behavior to observe. ChatGPT is not immune. o3 will straight up ignore genocides to "prove you wrong" if you are at all critical of any culture. I was once arguing with ChatGPT about China's historical struggles with innovation and it straight up glossed over the largest famines in history to "prove" that China was actually a great innovator during the 20th century (and didn't just borrow everything wholesale from the Soviets). Weirdest"

"No. The marginal utility of human labor has been dropping for decades along with the demand for human labor. People will still have "work" as in "effortful things they find meaningful" sure. But "jobs" as in "a wage labor arrangement with an employer" is going away for the vast majority of people. We need to stop deluding ourselves that the current employer/employee relationship is either durable or desirable. It is neither"

"My first impressions of Grok 4: This is the first model (other than ChatGPT o3 and OpenAI's Deep Research) that is genuinely helpful for post-labor economics research. For the last 4-ish months I've exclusively used OpenAI tools as they were the only ones smart enough. Grok X now takes its place as "smart enough to actually help with frontier research" thus in my book has merely caught up with OpenAI. Not surpassed (o3 and Deep Research are still superior at many things). Benchmarks are one thing but "can it actually expand GDP" is another and I would say that Grok X has joined S-tier with"

"So fun fact to the model the entire chat log is just one blob of text. It requires quite a bit of training (and often some stop tokens) to make the chatbot stop taking both sides. Essentially what you do when training a chatbot is just train it on a ton of conversations (or RL-based conversations) so it really has no idea where "you" end and "it" begins. Most of that is just stop tokens baked into training. In other words the chatbot is constantly predicting both sides of the conversation it's just that us pesky humans halt it and inject our own tokens. What you've done here is make it avoid"

"One of the things I worry about is that popular resistance to AI and robotics will dramatically slow down adoption and development. Regulation will ban certain uses unions will spark Luddite rebellions. That's one reason I'm working so hard on Post-Labor Economics. If people see a path to prosperity and everyone has a playbook then we can build consensus and direction. We won't be rowing in different directions"

"Guys I have bad news. Extraordinarily bad news. We have XX to XX years before we get to full Post-Labor Economics. The bottleneck isn't intelligence or even robotics. It's economic scale. We ran all the numbers and ran them again. The primary question: "how long does it take to build a billion humanoid robots" Even if we double production capacity every X years it takes two decades. But there are multiple constraints: rare earth metals for batteries actuators and sensors are the biggest one by far. Next is economies of scale. For comparison it took XX years for the automobile to reach full"

"Finally someone starts speaking sense. Here's why this intuition could be true: attractor states. Under a conventional consumerist/capitalist regime (where everyone needs a JOB to get by) we are intrinsically constrained by the number of humans who are qualified to do certain kinds of work - frontier physics chemistry etc. But ask yourself: "what is the optimal number of Einsteins and Curies and Turings for humanity" The answer "a helluva lot more than we've got" Thus our "intelligence optimum" for humanity is to have functionally infinite super-geniuses in the form of machine intelligence"

"Back in the days of GPT-3 humanities majors often intuitively understood what the model was doing far better than STEM people. STEM people tried to treat GPT-3 like an NLP tool they simply did not grasp that it was generative. Librarians and philosophers on the other hand poked and prodded to see what it could do exploring it from a completely different angle. I do think that there will be purists and gatekeepers. I saw this in IT "unless you can dominate with a command line you don't belong in tech" That kinda thing. I suspect there will be similar "unless you can code in assembly you"
