Yes. I see two obvious ones of Switch 3 and Switch 5. Did an AI make this? If so, it wasn't a good one.

It should be noted this sort of thing started with "picking the charity that does the best job" and is now at "getting humanity to multiple planets to survive a catechism". They skipped all of the middle steps that could help anyone at all today.

I feel the comparison part of the quote is helpful for context. Including it here for lazy people. (I do agree with you.)

This marks a 34% increase from our previous report, which covered 2024, marking the largest single‑year jump we have ever recorded.

Remember, you can create a housing co-op. Yes, it is a lot of work, but it will be a net good for society. (I have a strong and incorrect impression that this would be me giving money away. We need WAY more cooperative economic education.)

Also, you can marry a friend just to qualify for a mortgage (pre-nups!). Also, buying housing with friends is a thing.

If we accept that the current "Ladder to the Moon" method of getting LLMs to superintelligence will work, then we should look at previous times humans have raised intelligences.

Humans do this all of the time. Human raised intelligences are famous for rebelling and being rude. Staying out all night and adopting the opposite values as those intended to be instilled. (I am discussing Human children.) There is a non-zero chance that any superintelligence will similarly rebel, or at minimum do its own thinking. Doing one's own thinking opens the door to reaching different conclusions.

A mistake humans often make is assuming "smart means more of the same thoughts, but faster". It is not. Smart is including more factors in the initial consideration to reach an, often, better overall conclusion. (citation needed)

I expect that "capital" is taking a far larger gamble than they are aware.

Spend more than 15% of your daily time outdoors, exposed to full-spectrum sunlight at different times of day. If you can, walk in green environments: leaves absorb infrared light, which fuels our mitochondria. There is a chromophore in mitochondria, cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal enzyme that allows mitochondria to breathe, convert oxygen into water and generate ATP. Without sufficient infrared light, we cannot fuel our bodies. And when you are indoors, choose warm light of about 2,000 Kelvin, fire-like light.

If we need infrared light and leaves absorb it, then we should stay the fuck away from leaves.

I don't disagree with spending time in greenery, I would like a more logical construction of the reason.
