@ratlimit I barely post anyway

This is the real Turing test if you think about it

Sources familiar with the situation tell me Trump actually largely accepts the arguments of Unger (1996) & Singer (2009) that originally motivated EA but believes the discount rate argument in Parfit & Cowen (1992) that is implicitly the basis of MacAskill (2022) is unsound.

@SYNESTHEIZURE Excited to hear how Trump pronounces “Bayesian”

[Daniel Vega @dubitaniel]

@adastroworld Good luck!

@lu_sichu The low-quality accounts I think you’re thinking of aren’t worth engaging with at all, even by QTing

[Kate Aronoff @KateAronoff]

Does everyone remember how emissions disclosures, sustainability reports and ESG solved climate change

For every single one of these, replace "fly" with "artificial neural network with 150,000 units and a fixed topology" and see if you are still impressed (please, I am begging you).

Amazing how prescient Elon was. He knew the only way around a ban on “algorithmic immigrants” was to make Grok into a white South African

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Man I’ve been wondering when or if the right would begin using the immigrant metaphor to characterize AI agents

@SYNESTHEIZURE The in-between is having “exploding head syndrome” because some neurologist wanted to be funny

U.S. Treasuries are having their best year since 2020, and the investors who had confidence and faith in President Trump’s economic policies have been richly rewarded.

Never bet against @POTUS or America! 🇺🇸

You need to be equanimity-maxxing

[roon @tszzl]

it is best to proceed as though you will be okay. existential anxiety is not a virtue. productive action in a complex world is not correlated with existential anxiety

Today the world is becoming a LessWrong thread. Yesterday it was the 4chan-Tumblr war. Reddit himself ran the US government for a while. I have been skeptical of AI takeover but now that they’re the most prolific forum users I am forced to conclude their time will come

[Daniel Vega @dubitaniel]

I’m a reverse simulationist. I believe the true layer of reality is internet forum arguments and our world exists to instantiate those arguments via political movements

@allgarbled wdym look how well it worked for Joe Biden
