@Romy_Holland Big congrats. I'm already looking forward to the daughter+sibling posts.

@selentelechia This is a lot but you've also been doing a lot, imo. Godspeed.

@drethelin Amen, I vibe-printed a cathedral-inspired entrance for my cats' litterbot, a nosy tissue box, etc. It's so much fun. Now I'm customizing aspects of my home with symbols of my family (neuron vines).

@jonathanstray Shank you. Not as cool as respawning, but maybe someday I can live up to my name ("resurrection").

Happy Halloween from my Shogglet! Alignment is going well; humans now do whatever she wants.

@danielbrottman The contours of the human anatomy depicted as wearing the costume is akin to a plurality of kids totem-poled in a trenchcoat.

@astridwilde I hope this helps the times feel less sad. My little one is spreading her wings.

@EigenGender I'd like to but can't fully commit yet. Please send me the invitation? 🫀

@etirabys The social cost is real — something I'm also facing. But I'd want to make sure I was still doing things I personally thought were cool, even if my crowd didn't. 9 years is too much life to treat as an intermission.

@etirabys I imagine this feeling might be aggravated in the Bay Area, wherein the culture seems especially utilitarian.

"What utility is this person providing me with that is worth the opportunity cost? What utility do I provide such that it is worth their opportunity cost?"

@levity It's from Scale. Sadly not on sale.

@SurrealistShip @bstract_thot My favorite is second from the left. 🫀

@etirabys I wanted to be him, as a kid.

@razibkhan I feel like there aren't enough cowboy hats, hapas, and quapas

@etirabys The effects of pregnancy and offspring on 'IQ' would likely also be interesting to study for planning projects over one's life.

@GrantSlatton @GetRowZero @databricks I know you toiled for this; you max-praxed. I'm jubilant for you and your family!

[𝔞𝔫𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔰𝔦𝔞 @axonpotentials]

@VitalikButerin Your advice on avoiding holding the 'wrong' social bags, or at least diversifying them, is wise. As inherently social creatures, social incentives should also be aligned.

@S1r1u5_ $6,500 is a criminally low reward for this white-hat disclosure. It is also a compelling ad for black hats.

Then he told me that some patent examiners are apparently starting to get meetings with AI agents instead of attorneys.

Which is maybe a more significant sign of the times than the fact that I apparently talk like one.

[𝔞𝔫𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔰𝔦𝔞 @axonpotentials]

Just got off a call with another lawyer, who asked me, "Has anyone ever told you that you talk like AI?"

I laughed and said "No."

Pleased to be compared to superintelligence; annoyed to be mistaken for an agent and not a principal.

I once picked up a stutter from a nesting partner. Then an Australian accent from another.

My feed is now mostly AI. Pray for my syntax.
