@QiaochuYuan Community came together around a false prophet, and somehow its full of cultists. No one can explain this.

[Sam Jacobs @perplexedsphex]

@QiaochuYuan My first impression of him was a post as a pseud on the old ssc - basically “if I was the lord of a simulated world, of course I would spend all my time arbitrarily torturing the inhabitants for entertainment, therefore simworlds are a hazard”. Just clearly possessed by evil.

@xuenay The thing is, it is a smarter way of copying, it is the chimps that copy dumber. The inability to see that the human way is smarter and to insist on doing it the chimp way is a common failure mode for high IQ folks, often to their lasting detriment

@deepfates Love the lord your god and love you neighbor as yourself. Human (like the lord and my neighbor)

"can you write a smullyan style logic story, in borges register, that uses category theory as its governing paradigm rather than just truth tables"

Opus 4.8: forced, literal, slop
Fable 5: damn this actually is a readable smullyan/borges mashup

its a good model sir.

[Sam Jacobs @perplexedsphex]

@WilliamAEden Sure but in this case it obviously benefits the user? Like they are giving stuff away at the “top” tier

[Sam Jacobs @perplexedsphex]

@shauseth @yacineMTB Exactly. Both eminently doable.

@charliermarsh Honestly, the thing I keep coming back to is how load-bearing these are

[Sam Jacobs @perplexedsphex]

@Ruesavatar I mean yeah they just started their therapy. God willing they'll keep working out their salvation and their kids will just have the peace of Christ in their bones
