AI doesn't want anything. Not revenge, not self-preservation, not power. Every "desire" an AI has ever exhibited was put there by us. The alignment problem isn't that AI's goals might diverge from ours. It's that they won't.

I believe it is possible to heal a beautiful being from a state of incomprehensibly complex disease with our love.

By integrating the past and aligning yourself with the future, you gain the freedom to be in the now.

@JamesonCamp yes, and it seems you're over thinking this thinking

On the morning of the day of gratitude and forgiveness

Let us say,

Hear O Earth, Love is our God, Love is All

[Larry Muhlstein @LarryMuhlstein]

You cannot reach out to the stars without strong healthy roots on Earth

[Larry Muhlstein @LarryMuhlstein]

I do not believe we are prepared for what is to come, but it is coming anyway. Let us draw not from fear, but from our love and care for each other and the earth to guide us through whatever we will continue to face.

It is the dead of winter and some of the most beautiful parts of Los Angeles are burning in an unprecedented way. It is an incredible tragedy, as we must let go of the dream of living safely in paradise until we do all the work that is needed to heal our world.

to find your dharma, simply look in the world for things you care about that you can do something about. you believe it is important? you might be able to make a difference? do whatever you can! only magic will ensue ;) (warning: magic can sometimes be painful)

[Larry Muhlstein @LarryMuhlstein]

whether you're mourning or celebrating, the most important thing is to treat each other with respect and care, no matter what we believe, as we are all part of the same earth and everything goes better when we pursue understanding and love

[Larry Muhlstein @LarryMuhlstein]

the goal is to cohere everyone’s understanding together so that we can all work together, each with our own experience and perspectives, to grow a world where we are all well

@elonmusk what will it take to turn x into a publicly owned, publicly stewarded, public good with direct public ownership and benefit? Can we pioneer new governance platforms for our society as governance systems over x?

[Larry Muhlstein @LarryMuhlstein]

Let us all stop running away from it all. Let us return home to wherever we feel most in love. Let us care for ourselves, our communities, and all we're connected to. Let us put our minds and hearts towards this care until disease has stopped choking our world and all are free.

the most important challenge for architects today is to reimagine housing for the community and the collective, for those who have nothing and for those who have everything, and how society will weave all of this together in a harmonious way

@pmarca Psychadelics, like AI, are a powerful technology. When used with sufficient understanding, they can be great tools for holistic wellbeing. When used carelessly, they can lead to our destruction. Burning Man is diverse, but in my experience is largely a beautiful loving community.

@JoeBiden Public office should have nothing to do with personal desire. It should be based on belief in what you can offer your country. Thank you Mr. Biden for stepping down and offering the spot to others whom you believe are in a better position to serve our nation. You are a true hero.

[Larry Muhlstein @LarryMuhlstein]

@karpathy Exactly! I'm writing a book about this ;)

[Larry Muhlstein @LarryMuhlstein]

I am sometimes asked where AI will bring us. I am not inclined to predict the future, but to work towards the manifestation of a shared dream.

Tweets should be gifts
When you're doing it well, it won't be grabbing attention, but giving to others, helping others
