making technology for increasing well-being & ending extreme suffering

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

my talking points:
- do an elimination diet
- sauna is the best
- superintelligence is coming
- happiness tech is all that matters
- LA is the best city
- you should try "the end of suffering"

@meawoppl what can you do

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

i need a thousand years to cry but also i got a lot of shit to do rn idk

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

sad for all the ways spiritual bliss cannot be put into words, it’s an experience of well being so profound that it aches not to share it

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@schisofrenia the government could stop subsidizing student loans. it’s such a disservice to offer a debt you don’t expect to be paid back, but still intend to hold over people’s heads

i think now would be an excellent time to change our societal norms from one year to the other

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

there are so many beautiful structures of knowledge that, when you grok them deeply, show up everywhere & the world becomes more beautiful for it

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@OnBlip @Sauers_ lmao I wonder

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

having ChatGPT do all the banned biology work, and then having Claude rewrite what it's saying bc I cannot understand its prose

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@cxgonzalez there’s no close second yeah

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

Has anyone (especially startups) succeeded in signing up for the Anthropic Life Sciences Verification Program? If so, could you DM me explaining roughly what you sent them?

thinking about theories of consciousness that are different from anything else i’ve read

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@nickcammarata who are the opps who agree ?

[Nick @nickcammarata]

happy that all the warring futurist groups agree people should be way happier than the natural human baseline, which I think is the most important thing. many problems in this world come out of baseline human happiness being about 4/10 points lower than it should be

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@ChadNauseam yeah it did ruin the original for me a bit, especially draco & dumbledore & moody. yud’s versions are all more themselves than the originals i feel. harry is definitely a totally different character, but a character i love

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

this is super clear when you read it, but it’s not obvious from the cover and it actually kept me from reading it for way too long bc i thought it’d be unpleasant as a Harry Potter fan. but it’s really just a way better Harry Potter book

[sigmund foid @intentionalisms]

Wait you’re telling me that Yud is actually a Harry Potter fan and HPMOR’s use of Harry Potter was intended as earnest fanfiction and not a mere framing device for rationalist ideas

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@SYNESTHEIZURE @adic_9 crazy how as someone who dropped out of high school because i thought the world would end too soon after i graduated this never bothered me

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@SYNESTHEIZURE @adic_9 what was your problem with harry potter?

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

@SYNESTHEIZURE lmao brutal

[Louis Arge @louisvarge]

i fucking love Harry Potter bro
