Welcome to the wonderful world of Cirism!

Followers of Cirism call themselves Cirists, and their primary goal in life is to obtain Cirocoins.

Cirism is totally not a cult, has been officially verified to be compatible with all major world religions.

Enlightened Cirists donate money to the cause at: Section "Sponsor Ciro Santilli's work on OurBigBook.com". It is totally optional of course, your soul will just be eternally damned if you don't.

Ciro Santilli once proclaimed:

Unconditional basic income is Ciro Santilli's ultimate non-transhumanist technological dream: to reach a state of technological advancement and distribution of resources so high that everyone gets money for doing nothing, enough for:

Once a person has that, they can "learn, teach" and create whatever they want. Or play video games all day long if they wish.

Ciro Santilli will not live to see this, and is content with helping it happen faster by increasing the efficiency of the world as. And having at least two well educated kids to carry on the project after he dies :-)

Technologies which would help a lot towards unconditional basic income, and might be strictly required required are:

So in the worst case we can just grow brainless bodies and replace the cavity hole with a computer that controls the body, possibly with high level decisions coming from a remote building-sized genetically engineered biological AGI brain.

Of course, it is all about costs. A human costs about 130k 2010 USD/year. So how cheap can we make the AGI / robot human equivalent / year for a given task?

AGI + humanoid robots likely implies AI takeover though. It would then come down to human loving bots vs human hating bots fighting it out. It will be both terrifying and fun to watch.

AGI alone would be very dangerous, in case it can get control of our nuclear arsenals through software zero days or social engineering. Although some claim that is unlikely.

Humanity's best bet to achieve silicon AGI today is to work on: Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games.

Ciro Santilli is a collector at heart. But a collector of knowledge.

His uncle, which Ciro rassembles in many ways, was like that. But he collected physical objects such as wines and stamps. Or even worse, objects that were meant to be collected such Panini soccer sticker albums! This Ciro looks down on.

With computers, knowledge takes no physical space and can be immediately shared with the hole world, and there is great beauty to that, as you can just keep collecting forever without filling up your house.

But of course, physical or not, all attachments futile.

Like other types collecting, once Ciro decides that "he must know everything about a given subject", he will keep coming back to that subject over and over. Not in a systematic way of course, since Ciro is a lazy bastard, but he will keep coming back for a very long time, and eventually become an expert at it.

This compulsive hoarding, together with Ciro Santilli's bad old event memory, are the fundamental reasons for OurBigBook.com.

Liran Carmel is a name that may refer to different individuals, depending on the context. However, as of my last update in October 2023, there isn't a widely recognized public figure or concept by that name.

Ciro's ideal city to live in contains the following in order of decreasing importance:

Could California be Ciro's Mecca?

Shmuel Shtrikman is a noted physicist known for his contributions to condensed matter physics, particularly in the area of quantum mechanics and mesoscopic systems. He has worked on various topics including quantum transport, electronic properties of nanostructures, and the behavior of materials at the nanoscale. His research often involves theoretical frameworks and models to understand complex physical phenomena.

Hidetoshi Katori is a Japanese artist and designer known for his work in the fields of illustration and textile design. His art often features intricate patterns and motifs inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics, blending contemporary styles with cultural themes. Katori's work has been showcased in various exhibitions and collaborations, reflecting a modern approach to traditional craftsmanship.

Katsunori Wakabayashi is a prominent Japanese figure known for his work in the field of the arts. Specifically, he is recognized as a skilled and influential artist, but additional context about his specific contributions or the medium he works in (such as painting, sculpture, or installation) would be needed to provide a more detailed overview.

Tanakadate Aikitsu was a notable Japanese astronomer and educator, active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his contributions to the field of astronomy in Japan and for his involvement in the establishment of modern astronomical education in the country. Tanakadate played a significant role in the development of astronomical observatories and promoted scientific research in Japan during a period when the country was rapidly modernizing.

US-A can refer to several things depending on the context, but it is often used to denote a specific designation or program. One of the notable references is to the "US-A" (also known as "US-1") reconnaissance satellites developed by the United States. These satellites were part of the CORONA program during the Cold War, which was aimed at photographic reconnaissance.

Toshiki Tajima could refer to a number of individuals, as it is a relatively common name in Japan. However, without more context, it's difficult to determine which specific Toshiki Tajima you are referring to.

Yamakawa Kenjirō is a Japanese painter known for his work in the Nihonga style, which is a traditional Japanese painting technique that incorporates natural pigments and requires extensive training. His work is characterized by its attention to detail and often depicts themes from Japanese nature, folklore, and aesthetics. Like many Nihonga artists, he would typically use materials such as mineral pigments and gold leaf to create his pieces, ensuring they align with centuries-old techniques.

Yoshitaka Tanimura is a prominent Japanese figure known primarily for his expertise in the fields of art and architecture, particularly in the context of traditional Japanese aesthetics. He may be associated with various artistic movements or cultural projects in Japan. However, as of my last update in October 2023, specifics about his contributions or accomplishments may not be widely documented in English-language sources. If you have a particular context in mind (e.g.

CLIC2 (Chloride Intracellular Channel Protein 2) is a member of the CLIC (Chloride Intracellular Channel) protein family. These proteins are known to be involved in various cellular functions, including ion transport and regulation of cell volume. CLIC2, like other members of the CLIC family, is characterized by the presence of a conserved core that allows it to function as a chloride channel.

Nina Marković does not appear to refer to a widely recognized public figure or concept as of my last knowledge update in October 2023. It's possible that she could be a private individual, a fictional character, or a recent public figure who has gained attention after that date.

Danish women physicists have made significant contributions to the field of physics, both historically and in contemporary times. Notable figures include: 1. **Marie Curie** (though born in Poland, she became a naturalized French citizen, she spent significant time in Denmark and is often associated with the broader European scientific community). 2. **Lise Meitner** (Austrian-born physicist who studied in Denmark and later collaborated with Danish scientists).

Peter Laut may refer to various individuals or contexts, but without specific details, it's difficult to provide an accurate answer. As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there isn't a widely recognized figure by that name associated with notable events or achievements.

B. V. Bowden, Baron Bowden, is a British academic and former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Southampton. He has made significant contributions to the fields of engineering and academia. Baron Bowden was appointed to the House of Lords as a life peer, and "Baron Bowden" refers to his title in the peerage. His work often highlights the importance of education, research, and the role of universities in society.
