I don't know how but we have to teach people to be better at detecting bullshit. Instead we have this ersatz skepticism where people are suspicious about the wrong things and find their way to conclusions that are worse than if they just blindly accepted conventional wisdom

you could just read Rigsby WI online and not get the books. That's 100% valid and I publish RWI free online so nobody has a financial barrier to reading it (other than needing internet). But did you know the books have B-B-B-BONUS COMICS? Get one (or all!) here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Netanyahu has killed plenty. His coalition and Hamas are in a lurid embrace. They need each other to maintain power and authority and to hold the mass of sane Arabs and Jews -- and the necessity of a shared future -- trapped between them.

for the record, game maintainers can ban you for any reason, for no reason at all, and frankly should ban more people for offenses like this, because people who think other people are npcs who don't exist in real life are a net financial loss by alienating more than one other person from your game.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

“immigration makes a country weak” immigration makes a country strong actually. it makes the country intentional. a country of immigrants is a country made up of people who chose to be there, who worked to be, who looked at its national project and said “that’s what i want to help build”

here is a succinct thing I can say: "alignment"-style AI safety risks DO NOT EXIST or need remediation with LLMs as such (there are lots of other problems) and OpenAI and Anthropic are in the business of TRYING TO MAKE THEM EXIST so that they can remediate them.

this feels like a core observation, there's a lot of emphasis on skynet scenarios and not enough emphasis on the simple psychological effect that these systems passively have on their own users.

I feel like a huge amount of ~everything that is going on with these systems, from the safety people to the researchers to users to, you know, everybody, resolves to how much fluent use of language messes with our intuitions. which, as you say, shouldn't have been a surprise, but here we are.

Harold Perrineau as Mercutio in ROMEO + JULIET. He's a handsome Black man. He's in drag, with a huge white afro, long white gloves, a sparkly white skirt and bustier combo and surrounded by men dancing and bowing down to him. Mercutio has his hands lifted and a huge smile on his face.

John Leguizamo as Tybalt in ROMEO + JULIET. He's a handsome latin man. His dark hair is parted severely to the left into a slight pompadour. He has on a gun holster around his shoulders over a sleeveless top with an image of Jesus painted on the front. He has a gun in hand and a holster slung low on his hip.

1/ 🧵 T IS FOR TECHNO Jim Henson may have committed one of television’s more successful acts of guerrilla ontology without making the administrative mistake of calling it that. Sesame Street taught letters and numbers, certainly—but also something stranger:

A distressed, retro-styled graphic on a blazing yellow background. Two elderly Muppet-like men in formal suits stand at left, facing each other with arms raised and palms up in matching “what can you do?” shrugs. Pink halftone dots burst behind them. Huge weathered black text across the top reads “The reTro”; enormous hot-pink “12” dominates the right side, with purple “INCH” below. Smaller black text reads: “Was (Not Was) / Spy In The House Of Love,” followed by “(Streetsahead Mix)” and tiny production/remix credits. The whole design evokes a scuffed vintage 12-inch dance-single sleeve mashed up with heckling balcony-puppet energy.
