@csvoss @ChanaMessinger push a meeting out (later), move a meeting up (earlier) - don't think I've heard "moving a meeting back"

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@mbateman Any chance it'll be recorded and shared?

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@meerzulee @thsottiaux On MacOS? FWIW I never get any freezing. Maybe try a full wipe and reinstall?

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@praeterproptr @grin_io we can win this

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@TylerAlterman @chiaragerosa @praeterproptr Working on it over at Fractal Boston as well! There are maybe 4 families currently. How many does Geneva have?

@__vren__ @lu_sichu I feel subtweeted

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@simonsarris @orthodoxmason @JimmyRis Excited for you and can’t wait to see the result!

@liminal_warmth I did this with my passed grandfather's voice, my stomach dropped and I immediately felt a bit dirty and sad when I heard it - I immediately deleted the project after

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

Same here - I've got two on their way!

[Adam Strandberg @strandbergbio]

Same! Happy with my new far-UVC @aerolamp in the corner of the living room. Hosted kid's birthday party with no disease transmission

@mbateman I'm with @simonsarris on this https://t.co/tLsPWoa1fY

[Simon Sarris @simonsarris]

I want a futurism that feels like this. Like we've mastered nature and mastered the human-scale longed for ideals.

Not like flying plastic or plants on top of glass-plastic

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@noahrshinn very cool - rhymes with thinking from @timourxyz and some ideas I've been mulling on as well - would love an invite if available! https://t.co/2TjxfJjKcm

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

I've been calling a version of this idea the Kismet Engine. Here @timourxyz lays out what I think could be a foundational component of a positive outcome in an AGI/ASI near-future

@repligate Jacob Collier has entered the dataset https://t.co/sNeR8s5YG9

@mbateman Makes sense but also was secretly hoping to hear otherwise given that seems like a real bottleneck to scaling and making broadly accessible the Alpha experience

@mbateman https://t.co/3ybEiSMY4c time to prepare the lesson on Esenin-Volpin's Ultrafinitism

[guille @angeris]

there is a pretty (in?)famous story here from harvey friedman on ultrafinitism

friedman goes up to esenin-volpin, a hardline ultrafinitist, after one of his lectures and then posits to him that if the number 2^100 doesn't exist, then surely he believes that somewhere on the line from 2^1, 2^2, ..., 2^100 the numbers stop being real

esenin-volpin asks him to be more specific and so friedman begins:

does 2 exist?

"yes"

does 4 exist?

(waits a second) "yes"

does 8 exist

(waits even longer) "... yes"

friedman doesn't get to 32 by the time that he runs out of patience, but the point was made

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@Duderichy Same tbh

[Andrew Cann @_andrewcann]

@_StevenFan At least @ a guy :P
