@DavidDeutschOxf @deutschexplains Ah, get well soon!

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@DavidDeutschOxf @deutschexplains Did you mean to comment this under a different post? I don’t see how it follows from the OP.

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@UmInterlocutor @ylecun @geoffreyhinton There is some chance and I’ve found the precise equation to calculate this.

@Samantha1989TV Step 1: Pick a number between 0 and 1, not too close to those limits.

That's it; you're done.

@FreedomMaxi1 I perceive you do not know who you are speaking to.

@perrymetzger @NateGenX I tried to guide one through to noticing the giant leaps this philosophy takes. I guess he got bored and stopped engaging, which is telling - they have no time for common-sense reasoning.

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@RokoMijic @NeilHudsonexp @DavidDeutschOxf That’s a big, big leap.

@ToKTeacher @VadenMasrani @Sam_kuyp Unrelated, but Brett you should go on Vaden’s podcast!

@christiandean_ ... clashed with Elon on a moral basis. From the same podcast: “to be clear, I don’t think Elon, (and Lex, and RFK Jr.) are anti-Semites. I just think they have been reckless and morally unserious and unwise.” So while I’m “pro-Elon” (so to speak), I think much of that is valid.

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@christiandean_ I agree with the sentiment, but I’d like to defend Sam here: his specific criticism of Elon which you’re referencing is about “how he handled the deluge of anti-Semitism that came onto Twitter”. And more broadly, I’m pretty sure Sam has (even after they’ve “fallen out”) always…

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@webdevMason That’s fair. I think I’ve fallen into the habit of using ‘pessimism’ in a broader (and more esoteric) sense than the common one. (Because of @DavidDeutschOxf : https://t.co/bbrMpz6WQx maybe he’d disagree) (e.g. I ‘d say that communism is ‘pessimistic’, and wrong)

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@webdevMason …religion are probably similar to those of your younger self.

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@webdevMason Not anymore, iirc you tweeted about becoming religious (in stark contrast to your younger self) a while ago. Would love to read a blog post (or a long X thread) from you about that. Because I seem to always find insight and nuance in your takes, but my feelings towards…

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@webdevMason Agreed, though I must point out: religion has a knack for dogma and authority which is, at bottom, pessimistic.

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@ToKTeacher Thank you!

@ToKTeacher Do you have a video/post about this? I.e. where you talk about why many animals can do things which seemingly require (general) intelligence, but are still categorically not that

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@VadenMasrani Also, to be clear, I don’t really think that OP and OOP’s views are fully reducible to existential angst and an anti-civilisation/progress sentiment. My attempt at humour was kind of a cheap shot. I try to engage with AI-X-Risk-ers in good faith, but a little ridicule seems fair.

[Giulia Capezzi @giuliacapezzi]

@VadenMasrani Lol I was just kidding about SBF, sorry that didn’t come through - I was trying to make a comedic parallel to Rousseau visiting Diderot. Source of the quote is just Stanford Enc. of Phil. but I learned about Rousseau’s anti-progress ideas from Deutsch: https://t.co/bbrMpz6WQx
