This is a stark reminder, delivered via startling visual rendition, on how impermanent and brief our effective weeks/years (and life for that matter) are. Got dreams? Get crackin. Put in perspective, doesnt look like much does it?

I will definitely read this article. I just read his post on AI (it was tweeted by Elon Musk) and it was amazing.

Thanks, great thread!

Yesterday night when I walked my dog I looked up in the sky and saw the moon, shining beautifully up there in the great space. And I got this relaxing and also terrifying feeling that we are so small and our individual life is very very short. And if we don't really sees the opportunity, then our life can be a waste.

Hmm, powerful stuff to think about.

Holy bijeesus. Has anyone clicked on that link? It's actually part 2 of the article, part one is here:
http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html

motherfcker. I don't even know how to live anymore...

EDIT: Also, the original post that the calendar is from is pretty killer. Read it here: http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html

But seriously. Read the AI one.
No shit dude. One of the best articles I read in a while.

Once my business takes off a bit more my free time will be consumed with reading more about AI. Definitely will be one of the biggest challenges of the century...maybe all of civilization!

What scares/excites me the most is looking at both posts side by side. He presents three possible timelines for the ASI explosion. ALL THREE of them — the most liberal to the most conservative — would happen within my week chart!

Somewhere in the same chart, according to Hawking, Gates, Musk, etc... humans will either:

1. All die— forever.
2. All live forever. As in like, cure death.... Yeah.

But yeah. I'll get back to growing my Twitter following and my email list and try not to think about how pointless it all is ;)

Thanks for the post OP. I don't know why AI isn't the conversation topic between everyone, everywhere.
