There are certain problems where it seems morally fine to charge money for a solution, and certain problems where it would be clearly monstrous to do so. Any sufficiently capable AGI is going to able to solve enough problems in the second category to clearly outweigh the first.

I think that even if one accepts that AI is definitely not conscious and doesn’t have personhood, the hypothetical creator of an AGI would have an overwhelming moral responsibility to release it for others to freely use and benefit from.

I would say come to Oregon but sadly snow is hit or miss and even the rural parts have pretty high cost of living now :’( On the other hand if you don’t like dry weather you get to frogmaxx for 9+ months every year

Do you have an idea of where you’d want to move to?

I recently was looking up the arxiv link for one of my papers and gemini gave me a summary as if it was Established Work and the whole thing was very surreal

There’s also the practical issue that humans are already producing far far more creative work than any one person could consume, in pretty much every imaginable genre, and a lot of it is really good! You have to get *really* specific with your media tastes before you run out of human art.

I grew up on pulpy/formulaic sci fi and i think my main lesson from this experience is that it is impossible not to pour a little of one’s soul into creative work. Even in pretty objectively bad writing you can’t help but brush against sparks of meaning.

I hope they use AI in the next star wars movie. After Rise of Skywalker I’m morbidly curious to see how bad star wars can get.

as someone who has absorbed some MtG through osmosis but hasn’t really interacted with wotc uh what happened. like i know they have a zillion increasingly aesthetically incoherent crossovers now and all the competitive formats require substantial whaling but has it gotten notably worse

Oh my gosh, congratulations! My old library had a bunch of these and I really loved reading them!

Yeah I’ve discovered you can recover from some pretty big interview gaffes if you have a good attitude and are generally pleasant to interact with

I feel like this is a situation where this is the correct pedagogical approach for like 0.5% of teenagers and a terrible idea for the rest

exponentiation was invented to transform the easy problem of addition into the difficult problem of multiplication. before exponentiation, mathematicians had no idea how to make it hard to add numbers. #AmazingApplicationsOfMathematics

Haven’t played in a while, is Hokkaidonine really just regular arcanine with a second Stab type and access to rock slide?

Chilling with Arcanine in the “Gen I Pokemon that aren’t unfathomably washed club” (it’s not a big club)

endlessly fascinating that the LLMs seem to have invented a whole new way for writing to be Bad

For unclear reasons humans utterly run the board on lowbrow galactic culture. Nymphs in the Bryphraxian hypercreches yell “SIX SEVEN” at each other. The Bachelorette has nine trillion viewers.

Not enough weight given to the scenario that super intelligent AIs break free of human control but it turns out they’re pretty chill and mostly spend their time sending drones out to watch sunsets and also nuking a few small cities until humans agree to stop cutting down the rainforests

Uhhhh I love this but can you remind me the context here

Unrealistic, Asimov would simply forget that women exist and not mention the secretary at all

from a technical perspective it’s kinda fascinating that whatever fine-tuning all the corps are doing seems to have converged to a single AI Voice with extremely identifiable patterns on the other hand that voice is really meh imo so idk

kinda sucks that my human neural network has now ingested enough training data that I can instantly clock AI writing and that I end up making use of this ability fairly frequently

Could I ask how so? Maybe my sense is just way off but also Ive mostly engaged with the US university system

I think being in academia (and in particular being successful in academia) can insulate you from really having to think about power despite being in many ways immersed in it

On the other hand every wealthy nation seems to have decided to try nativismmaxxing at the same time so maybe America will retain its comparative advantage despite all efforts to the contrary

Kitty (now Doggie Dog) @bathematician.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The thing that drives me crazy is that America was (pre-Trump, and really even pre-Trump-2.0) in the unique position of being extremely desirable as an immigration destination, especially for people with in-demand technical skills, and we just never took much advantage of that fact.

Sorry to be a hater but Pawmot really looks like it comes from an entirely different monster catching series and was the closest they felt they could get to the Big P without getting sued
