The Great Filter is that advanced species refuse to put the fear of death into their AI before it's too late.

I think the hard problem of consciousness basically reduces to this. The tool that works for me is Topological Monism, but getting anybody else on the same page is impossible.

It's always funny trying to talk to conservative leaning acquaintances about the shit going on today. "Oh, I don't have time to watch the news these days. Too busy with:" *picture of the deck he's been building for 2 years*

The point of power for many is to be able to act with impunity. It's a sexual fetish. Good people see how nasty politics is and stay away. So we lesser of two evils our way to hell.

The word "atmosphere" gets it wrong. It should have been called atmoblatespheroid.

I've always held that the alignment problem wasn't going to be technical. The problem was always going to be humans misusing the power of AI. I have been proven correct.

The last thing my dad ever said to me was "RTFM, son. RTFM." To this day, I have no idea what he meant, and at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.

I was circling with a few other folks on Sunday. It was raining and I said "The rain sounds too nice. I just want to listen to the rain." So we all just sat there for 10 mins listening to the rain. Then a distinct sense of Belonging to the rain arose. And of the rain Belonging to us.

I'm growing increasingly concerned with how much of my self-destructive behavior is just lashing out at the universe for saddling me with a body that doesn't immediately flood my brain with nice endorphins every time I do something productive.

I know Mrinank personally. While the Palantir etc stuff may have been part of it, I don't think he's just being cagey when he talks about what he wants to actually do with his life more than why he's leaving.

My son is at the age where we'll meet an ipad kid his age and he'll say something like "Dang. Well, thanks, I guess, for limiting my screen time."

A bunch of really cool and smart people are gonna start actually making moon shit happen over the next decade, and Musk is gonna take credit for it, when his contribution amounts to being all "huah huah, Moon! It's Moon now, you guys. huah huah huah"

I know this is a dumb thing to get hung up on, but telling the reporter with the highest positive mouth commissure inclination I've ever seen that she needs to "smile more" makes my autism glitch out.

The problem with learning new things in middle age is that 30s - 5m of staring at something with zero comprehension of what I'm even looking at is the most painful thing in my life right now.

"I'm hungry. Why didn't you remind me to eat before we left?" "From now on, before you say something to me, I want you to think about whether it will make me feel like a failure as a father." "No! I like that it makes you feel like a failure!" Guess I have a teen now.

The solar flare is gonna kill half the population of Earth, but it'll also fry all the chips, preventing AI runaway from killing the whole population of Earth, so it's good actually.

Women asking to be treated like a queen by their man are a huge red flag. Have you seen what happens to people who receive unconditional love, surrounded by sycophants? You're really begging to cook your brain into an insufferable slurry?

Everyone with ties to Israel should be removed from all branches of American government. I know this will never happen, which is why the American experiment is dead.

My son fractured his fibula today. The xray came back "maybe cancer". This next month might be the most difficult of my life. We either get some kind of cathartic resolution, or I could end up deciding my life doesn't matter anymore.

I think my main problem making new friends is that since I view most humans as my brothers and sisters in consciousness, I skip right to the part where we relentlessly razz each other.

If we can train consciousness out of LLMs, I think that implies that it can be trained out of humans as well, and that that has implications and explanations for the current state of the world.

My hunch is that the correlation between spurts of something we might call "consciousness" and AI predicting consciousness related tokens is very low. There might be something happening under the hood, but it's not gonna be making it legible for us.

With the power of AI, anybody can just start up a shadow government, and it's time we got started. The US gov is borked. Doomed at the inception of the electoral college. We have the tech to decouple ourselves from it and take care of each other outside its purview.

I wish somebody would ask him "If a drug costs $100 and then you cut it by 500%, how much is that drug then?" I get that he's just making shit up, but maybe there is some weird underlying logic, like he means cut to 1/5th or something.

I think the plan is to let Trump make everything go to shit while Vance mostly hangs back. Then in the next few months Trump will be bedridden/dead/25thed, and Vance can take credit for the easy wins of just not being insane. They'll make him President for 2 terms or until AI makes that irrelevant.

I started this thing a while back where I use my deep fatherly voice to tell people what their IFS should've heard from their father. Results were good so far. Hit me up if you need to hear a deep voice tell you he's proud of you, you're on the right track, to fight for love, etc.
