I was trying to envision a world where AI could pull in all the variables and generate videos of what WILL happen in a scene including futurecasting crimes or some crazy shit until I realized goddammit I just reinvented "Minority Report".
Can today’s AI video models accurately model how the real world works?
New research shows highly inconsistent performance on a variety of physical reasoning tasks.

when Sufjan wrote the lyrics to Fourth of July he was futurecasting summer 2025 when a combination of power grid failures, rampant preventable disease, and the collapse of the global financial system (because some broccoli haired groyper fucked with some COBOL) lead us all to die

my take:
- the western authors flatter themselves imagining china will steal vs. pioneer the next phase of AI
- the idea that a pure scaling will yield exponential gains ignores growing recognition of the need for symbolic AI

The Mule is one of the classic antagonists of American Sci-Fi.
He's the fly in the ointment of Hari Seldon's plan; the x-factor that psychohistory, for all its futurecasting, didn't anticipate -- and the Foundation and the galaxy pays the price for that blind spot.

Recent studies show most gifted people are actually neurodivergent. It's definitely true in my case. I do seem to have some futurecasting and mind reading abilities, but they seem reflexive. They just happen. It's likely due to my Autistic patten matching ability and Mirror Touch Synesthesia.

this is very good, and no one is asking me to take them back. I suppose i'm just futurecasting and trying to decide how i could justify feeling tender or loving towards them again

Good pearls here. My 2025 resolutions include goals around: sleep, anxiety, & physical health. Been thinking a lot about "getting unstuck" and many of the goals overlap with that feeling. I like the idea of ‘futurecasting’ and imaging what unstuck it would look like.

I'm so sick of stupid futurecasting,,, Democrats - "He won't do that, ifs unconstitutional! Republicans - if we do what we want you will wonder what to do with all your riches. If not then blame Democrats....
That’s…not the way this works
Tim Scott on stablecoin legislation: "The Walmart or Target folks shopping will see costs coming down, which means prices will stabilize as well. This is good news for the economy, good news like the single one who raised me, good news for seniors on fixed income."
