@ChristianityOn I thought you were a woman at first.

But that was mostly because your old pfp was a woman (a theologian you respect, I think?), and I am autistic and took it at face value.

@AndrewCurran_ This is obvious misalignment (correct alignment is ~doing the python and then telling the user you used python, even if they wanted the web search)

However, it's becoming harder and harder to not say "gigachad" after every single thing these AIs do.

@insurrealist Close! We're in a joke universe if P=NP *and* FTL is possible, but it sacrifices causality and time travel is ez.

These sorts of statements are interesting to read as a man.

I think the reason it's true is because the "distressful and stifling" aspects are in service of what feels like a higher good.

For example, I don't think it's true that men are "unemotional" just because it's what society told them to be like. It's what society told them to be like, and they *saw the benefits*. For me personally, I can point to a very specific moment in my life where I think the "hide emotions" male aspect within me solidified.

When I was around 15, my maternal grandfather died. I wasn't that close to him, but it hurt a bit. I probably could have cried if I wanted to, felt sad about it, whatever. Instead, I just spent the time at his showing mostly stoic and comforting my mother.

She cried on my shoulder for probably around 30 minutes while I just had my arm around her.

Afterwards, my mother confided in me that she appreciated this, specifically saying how she felt steadier and much better because I was calm and a rock to lean on.

That experience almost immediately solidified whatever masculine ideas were within me and taught me, "Oh! It seems these stifling aspects might have a purpose on a tribe level. It's probably useful for groups of humans to have individuals they can lean on emotionally when things are going wrong."

And now, that's sort of what I do at my job. I run live newscasts. This means we have a moment to moment deadline where I have to keep people on track, solve on air problems as fast as I can, get people into places, all kinds of stuff. It requires letting any feeling of overwhelm wash over you and simply ignoring it.

Even on the negative aspects of the masculine, I've yelled at people to get to where they need to be, told anchors to shut up, gotten angry at other crews for what they let slip, things like that.

To bring everything together, I don't think I want to rebel against the masculine. Not really. It seems to serve me and the people around me well. Even if it harms me in some material sense (loneliness, being unable to relate to others, aloofness, harming relationships because I don't show care enough), I feel like my job as a man isn't to "rebel", but to keep the above negatives in mind as I go through life and decide when and where to reach out more than I want to innately.

Anyways, I could honestly go on and on about this and any related topic, so I'll stop here.

You know what, I'll say it:

If we make it out of all this with safe ASI, we deserve it. Everything is stacked against the good outcome. If we make it out, we'll have done it on the hardest difficulty and can take a breath knowing we earned it.

@dylanbowmanSF No, he's right actually. Only work on LLMs if you want to work on super-human AI instead of just normal human AI.

Joke time!

Two mathematicians are arguing about which of their pet ideas are more well known by the public.

"It's the Reimann hypothesis, obviously!" said the first, hands gesturing in the air, "Maybe the public doesn't know the math, but they know the name. It's the most well known Millennium problem!"

The other shook his head.

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong, friend. It's P=NP," the second said calmly. "Sure, those that go into *pure* math learn of the Reimann hypothesis, but anyone who goes into computer science undergrad learns of P=NP."

This goes on for a time until the first mathematician had finally had enough. "Alright! Alright! We're both men of reason." his fist hit an open hand. "Let us test it! Let's pool our stipends together and get the statistics department to run a poll for us."

And so they did. In 3 months time, a poll asking which mathematical ideas were most well known was put in front of the American people.

Around 6 months after the argument, the results arrived on the first, more boisterous man's desk. However after reading, his happy left him.

With gloom on his face and sorrow in his heart, he walked into the second man's office, his face down the entire time. The second man stood slowly, walked over to the first, and patted the other man on his back in a show of comaraderie.

"I assume P=NP won?" He asked, trying not to smile.

"No," Said the first. "It got 26th."

"26th?!" The second man was flabbergasted. "But how?" He narrowed his eyes. "And you're saying Reimann got 1st and I got 26th!?"

"No," The first man hissed, finally looking up. "I got 27th!"

The second man was aghast. "Then what got first?"

"That would be 2+2=4, narrowly beating out 1+1=2..."

@mtgbanding Uh, oh!

Sacrificing is on the other side of the colon! Untapping loops go wild! Same with graveyard shenanigans!
