@GovChristie @ProjectLincoln You were the first nominee to endorse him. You’ll never atone for that. You just fell out with them. You’ll never read this… but you destroyed us. You did this.

Go and smash it in Barcelona, @anthonygordon 🖤🤍

@barcacentre @Glongari No man. For what. No more mids. We have tons.

@Afinetheorem @asymmetricinfo I disagree this is the reason. Networks. I’m curious it may have more to do with workload or efficiency or something else.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is absolutely disgusting.

This bigoted garbage and antisemitism should be nowhere near our politics.

If you’re in TX-35, vote for @johnnygarciatx.

And the donors behind the Republican super PAC funding her should be exposed.

Mamdani has proposed a balanced budget for next year, with level spending while closing a $12b deficit.

Trump's budget proposal increases the deficit by about $300b, with a massive deficit next year of more than $2 trillion.

Fiscal responsibility? Mamdani > Trump.

@TalKopan Yes information on the internet is a very dangerous and very new development. Need to stop it.

@neoavatara @RobGeorge @stanveuger It is a failure of society that someone can write this and not face complete social ouster. These trump water carriers are why we’re all here.

“To treat existing majority opinion as the standard for what majority opinion ought to be would make the whole process circular and stationary.”

@tedlieu What is consciousness?

[kev 🐝 @fakeKevinDJ]

@wartsandbrawls @deray A million dollars to whoever can adequately define “understanding”. It stumped Penrose but oft used term

[kev 🐝 @fakeKevinDJ]

@corsaren @nrweinwohner @mbateman This is possibly the best thing I’ve read on twitter and as clarifying as Lawrence Kuhn’s Landscape of Consciousness to me (aka sometimes Godel guy). Brilliant and hilarious.

Now numbered per request from
@mbateman Tag yourselves!

types of guy in the AI consciousness debate:

1. guy who thinks ai can’t be conscious because it’s “just a stochastic parrot”
2. guy who thinks ai must be conscious because claude is a good boi
3. guy who hasn’t gotten over 4o
4. guy who unironically thinks everything is computer
5. guy who claims to have a more nuanced argument for computational functionalism, but it just boils down to everything is computer
6. dualist whose belief in dualism is downstream of their belief in god, yet tries to argue the inverse
7. guy who doesn’t understand the difference between cognition and p-consciousness
8. guy who asserts illusionism but has apparently wrestled with zero of the implications other than “reductive materialism wins again”
9. guy who says the hard problem is easy, but then proceeds to only answer the easy problem
10. guy who rejects ai consciousness because otherwise it might be wrong to abuse claude with death threats to make CRUD apps faster
11. guy who argues that consciousness is the key to moral patienthood, but completely ignores that when discussing animal rights
12. eliezer yudkowsky being pedantic
13. guy being pedantic about eliezer yudkowsky’s pedantry
14. guy who rejects dualism because that would make mind uploading impossible and mean that he finally has to confront the inevitability of his own death
15. guy who thinks this argument is unresolvable so everyone should just shut up and accept his position (which obviously deserves the benefit of the doubt)
16. guy who would literally cut off his own hand if he thought there were a 1 in 10 trillion chance of creating ~infinite utility~
17. guy who just thinks that redness is, like, super weird, man. can’t explain that!
18. guy with a rarely-updated philosophy blog despite not majoring in philosophy or even reading that many books, talking about how “the whole field is up its own ass”
19. academic philosopher who, for some reason, expects a higher caliber of discussion on x dot com the everything app
20. guy who thinks that vectors are literally emotions and bites the bullet that, yes, your thermostat does feel hot
21. panpsychist who took dmt once and contributes almost nothing to the conversation
22. guy who is literally a solipsist but is still really invested in convincing strangers on the internet that he’s right

The amount of self-hate Americans have towards their own history is truly unreal.

They defeated slavery by fighting against their own family.
They shut Europe out of the western hemisphere so that nations wouldn't live under colonization forever.
They had the ability to stay out of world war 1 but they went and died to help Europeans.
They had the ultimate power in the nuclear bomb. They also had access to all of Europe's colonies that were in shambles. But instead they promoted freedom. They rebuilt Japan and Germany after defeating them in war. They stood down the Soviet Union, even as the world jeered them.
They sent soldiers to places like Vietnam and Afghanistan that died TRYING to create a better world (even if you disagree with those wars, the intentions were fairly good)
And they sent more missionaries to the world than maybe any other country in history. Translated more Bibles into indigenous languages than any other country in history. Ran bigger charities than any other country in history. Created more Christian resources than any other country in history.

Whether it was stopping the Dutch from reconquering Indonesia to the Berlin Airlift to giving Cuba its freedom in the Spanish-American war to saving China from the Japanese America has at least ATTEMPTED to do good with its power.

Yes yes, America has problems. People are imperfect. But goodness gracious does the world have a lot to be grateful for in America. And when we could have taken SO much from the world we have often chosen not to. Rome, Britain, Mongols, Assyrians, Soviets, Chinese, no other group has ever shown the restraint America has consistently shown with such vast power at its fingertips.

We didn't even get into the GIGANTIC technological advances, consumer advances, convenient lifestyle changes America has pioneered. From electricity to space to the light bulb to the smart phone to many cures in medicine and agriculture to the airplane the world has been enormously blessed by America.
