If given the environment to develop, any race can become as smart as another as shown with history.

Now you are correct. However that environment doesn't mean having schools or living on magic dirt. The pressure needed would be to mercilessly cull the dumbest part of the population for a hundred generations. That's how nature did it, and its what happened to the people who settled the frozen north and died off in massive numbers when they failed to to manage winters. Evolution is a death-engine, and IQ is bought with a gigantic pile of corpses of (other peoples) ancestors.

Genetic IQ is a ceiling, and 80% of actual intelligence. The remaining 20% is about avoiding or suffering from stunted growth, nutritionally and environmentally. No matter how many vitamin pills you eat or how much education you get, this will never raise your maximum potential intelligence.

Same, but my projection is different.

You know how Monte-Carlo tree search coupled with ML state evaluation completely conquered board- and card-games and large classes of adversarial situations in general. That was basically one simple but fundamental algorithm. It's not thinking, and its never going to move outside of its domain, but it has solved that domain.

Now Transformers and variants, also a simple algorithm, extract patterns from text, or really any sequence of symbols, and is able to synthesize new sequences that conform to those patterns. It's not thinking, and people read way too much into it because they can make it emit impressive or clever-seeming sequences (ignoring that they basically fed it those sequences to begin with), and it's never going to play board games well or move outside of its domain. But it has solved its ill-defined domain of playing back something not unlike knowledge.

There's a couple more I can think of, but lets skip those. These algorithms plateau because they've solved their domain. What comes after that, is someone inventing one more fundamental algorithm, and another, etc.

The thing is, there's only so many domains that humans operate in, and "general intelligence", at least as displayed by humans, is the ability to work across those domains. We don't have all the algorithms we need for that, and it's impossible to put a timeline on new ideas. People have historically loved to indirectly argue that we'll never have new ideas, everything that can be known is known, and if we can't do it now we never will. Those people tend to lose bets.

So engineers and scientists will be needed for the high-end stuff forever.

Unfortunately that's a cope. It's true enough for LLMs, they wont get there no matter how much text you feed them, but then the next fundamental algorithm will be discovered/invented, and the next, and then things will look different.

I've been saying it for 20 years. Every single job is going to be automated. Not most, and not as quickly as the current AI hype bros are claiming. But every single one, and not terribly far in the future either.

Denying it is living in fantasy land, and we'll have to deal with it one way or another.

So far the most realistic that people have come up with is some kind of UBI, which has all sorts of obvious problems.

However it boils down to this.

If the world is ruled by by the people, for the people, when the need for work disappears, we're taken a good step towards a utopia.

If the world still is ruled by satanic pedophile jew supremacists when the need for work and workers disappears, we'll have a very bad time, probably involving the involuntary culling of the goyim.

There's a deadline. Literally and figuratively.

And apparently they're also burning down Argentina now.

There's no new jewish evil under the sun. There used to be the term "jewish lightning" for when jews burned down their own buildings for insurance money and claimed it was lightning.

Is conspiracy even the right word anymore, when they're doing it openly, repeatedly, and everyone knows it?

I read that at the height of slavery, 2% of freed blacks owned slaves, 2% of Whites owned slaves, and ~30% of jews owned slaves. So the jews primarily sold slaves to other jews.

Elaborate stone palaces and castles built in a year or two, by a tiny population in the middle of nowhere, using rock bricks cut hundreds of miles away, using horses and carriages. Allegedly. There are so many historical discrepancies from that period.

"We're a tiny <1000 person settlement on the prairie, living in log cabins and timber shacks, lets build a stone palace for our post office or kindergarden."

That's my point; there isn't much technology to speak of yet, but unscrupulous people want to apply the sexy term to whatever they're doing anyway.

By their definition, a gas is nanotech :)

Interesting guy. Wikipedia doesn't like him, unsurprisingly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Plimer

No, that's what the term has been dumbed down as now. Back in the 90's, it used to mean building with atomic precision, out of individual atoms. Now it means "whatever the hell is fairly small and we need to hype up for investors and/or hollywood", and the new terms "atomically precise manufacturing" and "machine-phase chemistry" have been invented to cover the original meaning.

The same way "AI" used to mean something else, and now functionally means "whatever the hell we can do right now with really large statistics if you invest infinite money", and the original meaning has been repeatedly renamed and now is something like "recursively self-improving artificial general superintelligence". Rolls off the tongue...

China should send a couple hundred million people over, to change things up a bit.

It's real. If you google something like "ancient carving handbag" you'll get a number of sources, and they've also been shown off in numerous documentaries, including the recent Graham Hancock show on Netflix.

In a better world the punishment would involve being castrated to death with a chainsaw. For both of them...

Every problem would be an exaggeration.

But since they are only 2.5% of the American population, and a rounding error in terms of global population, it would be nice if they'd stop being massively overrepresented in endeavors such as pedophile blackmail rings compromising leaders and industrialists, peddling pornography and attacking traditional values and the family unit, using their control of Hollywood and the press to spread anti-white anti-western propaganda and retcon history, using their control of banking and governments to wage war against western culture and the middle class, using their control over investment groups to force corporations to play along with their anti-white hatred, facilitating the third world replacement migration into western countries, running the in-your-face new world order organizations, all while getting their subverted pet politicians to write laws that make it illegal to criticize jews or boycott israel or question their retconned history. There is more, but lets leave it with this.
