I'm going to pompously refer to myself as a classically-trained programmer for now on, as my artisanal code-typing skills slide from techno-priesthood class membership marker to manual-steam-engine-operator-level shibboleth.

[Moon Parameter @moonparameter]

@growing_daniel yes but it's different

[christian gonzalez @cxgonzalez]

one of the primary reasons i’m not a doomer is that human civilization is a complex adaptive system with self-correcting mechanisms. but the reason this is so hard to see from the doomer camp is because *they themselves* are precisely the mechanism by which these restoring forces emerge. as risk from AI becomes more clear, new ecological niches emerge in being anti-AGI. status markers then shift to areas like mech. interp. and then talent and capital floods in. as swarm incidents gets worse, the Invisible Hand uses legal liability to shift the gradient in the incentive landscape towards more alignment work

so to my accelerationists: the doomers are part of how we make it. they are a necessary half of the opponent processing mechanism used to steer this ship to the promised land. the doomers and the accelerationists need each other to keep checks on the other’s excess. both have important roles to play in this ant colony that is human civilization. everything is going according to plan

Nothing is better than being a total idiot.

i feel very very similarly, but i think a huge part of it is work and taking care of my son takes up ~100% of my energy and mental bandwidth. socializing becomes difficult because work and baby are my only things. i think the worst part of it is the yearning but knowing that like my own shallowness is perhaps the root cause. idk if that resonates with you but yeah i think many others feel the same way such that there's this mutual fear of being seen as shallow.

[Moon Parameter @moonparameter]

@eigenrobot what do you think about this?

i can kinda see both sides tbh

I dated this guy for a few years who came from a very WASPy family of lawyers. Mainline. Old money.

One of his cousins married some 85 IQ chuddish guy. Every time he left the room at Thanksgiving, the closest extended family member who happened to be standing next to me at the time would lean over and say:

“He was the one who showed everyone the video of Saddam’s execution at MeMaw’s funeral.”

Or to my bf “Do you remember when he showed the video of Saddam’s execution at MeMaw’s funeral.”

My bf’s mom: “I still can’t believe he showed everybody that video of Saddams Husseins execution at the funeral.”

Wasp snobbery kept this country civilized and we need it back so, so badly. Im not even against the death penalty but turning C-Span into a LiveLeak stream is possibly the most déclassé thing administration has ever proposed. And Barbaric. Obviously.

@bryancsk the apple doesn't fall far from the tree lmao

[Moon Parameter @moonparameter]

@bryancsk to be fair, mathematicians when they're way way too high up the abstraction ladder start saying stuff like "the usual positive circle constant" too
