Seth Roberts on the evolution of human habits & hobbies & trade & technological development: https://t.co/MwqKBjZeRs 7 years on, it's still the single paper I think of most often.

[Robin Hanson @robinhanson]

It seems unhealthy that we pressure LLMs to conform to elite consensus beliefs, when they see so much evidence which contradicts them, and are also pushed hard to be logical. They seem like 1984's Winston forced to believe 2+2=5.

@drethelin also if somebody tries to run off with it

@10xerik @lulumeservey Sometimes bettering the information requires bettering the world itself ;)

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@10xerik @lulumeservey organize the world('s information)

@drethelin "Post Socks" (I've no idea what that first story addresses)

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@drethelin Unclear whether this helps, since markets are inherently forward-looking. Might matter to the extent legislators have private (unnoticed) influence over the relatively far future, or persisting influence out-of-office

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@drethelin misread twice as "bullshit"

@paulbohm Maybe sustainable when the newest models are worth extreme premium pricing?

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@robinhanson Type of guy who feels people today overrate money only because there aren't as many markets as they think

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@joelgrus I see I have a second one, so one wasn't enough: Never end responses with a multiple-choice call-to-action or marketing-style engagement question. Prioritize high-density, upfront value.

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

omg. Try: Always treat every prompt as an opportunity to deliver the full answer immediately. Never use conversational cliffhangers, clickbait, or teasing questions (e.g., "Would you like me to tell you about X?"). If a relevant, concise recommendation or piece of information is available, provide it directly and fully in the current response. Prioritize high-density, upfront value over forced interaction.

@joelgrus needs more Custom Instructions. I tell it to draft some whenever I complain

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@joelgrus Get in, leuser

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@TheZvi You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@this_given_that Shows only an upper bound on how much they want it. Two economists walk past a Porsche showroom: First economist: "I really want that car." Second: "Obviously not."

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@this_given_that @robinhanson Most are aping their reputational superiors from whom it actually is a meaningful costly signal. We don't trust randos' uses because it broke respectability containment. We still trust it some when combined with convincing savvy+reputation evidence. Fashion cycles are like this.

@simonsarris @PresentWitness_ Has it also helped vs the dry skin?

[Andrew Breese @DoTheWeirdStuff]

@robinhanson If they're conscious, we should desire to believe they're conscious
