"SBF, who spent much of his career maximizing expected value, was liquidated in 2022 by his own hand. Leopold Aschenbrenner, carrying on the work, was similarly liquidated in 2026. Now it is our turn to maximize EV. Perhaps it would be wise to approach the subject cautiously."

@BenS_MTG For currently active, Seth and Nate feel so much above the rest. Ken and Chris in the next tier and then it kinda blends.

@pcdv8r You can mute the words “blue” and “red” for a bit

@generic_void These papers are always exaggerated and end up only working in very specific benchmarks.

I've never had so much fun with computers in my life.

I literally do whatever the fk I want.
Bending whatever stands in my way to my will.

Tmux doesn't support mouse?
Now it does.

Compiled app looks cool?
Reverse engineered, now it's "open source".

Literally godmode.

Unlike bad things, which tend to happen suddenly, good things tend to be built gradually, so are rarely newsworthy on any particular day. Thus, bad things dominate the news, even as overall the world gets better (albeit too slowly for us to notice).

whoop says my recovery is 41%

sit on the toilet Vivoo analyzes my urine in real time, 6.2 pH. suboptimal.

oura ring says my HRV dropped while i was pooping

open levels app, glucose spiked from looking at a banana

get in tesla, safety score dropped to 94 because i braked too hard arrive at work

manager says my productivity score is in the 38th percentile

go home, eight sleep starts cooling my bed at 7:43pm without asking

lie in the dark wondering what my existential dread score is

apple watch taps my wrist: "it seems like you're having a hard time. breathe."

This is probably the most unhinged thread I have seen in my MTG career.

Why can’t we just let people enjoy things?

Going full optimization mode is a surefire way to suck the joy out of life. Need this amount of money or that amount of time before you can do this or that. Cowardice veiled as pragmatism. All great stories are authored in imperfect conditions. If the heart sings you fucking act

@drivelinekyle I have a remarkable and i don’t think I can ever go back to paper again

@tituschalk Students don’t have to try to beat them, they’re just generally inaccurate. There’s so many models and you can change the style of the answer with how you word the prompt. detectors are mostly based on how models used to overuse certain words, but that doesn’t happen anymore
