Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Nate Soares is walking in the park when he spots his friend Eliezer Yudkowsky sitting on a bench scrolling on his phone. He goes over and sees he is reading David Sacks' twitter feed.
'Eliezer!' he exclaims 'Why are you reading that rubbish!?'
'When I read Don't Worry About the Vase or Al2027 all I see is doom and gloom' he replies.
"Race conditions, no alignment plan, rapidly accelerating capabilities. But when I read David Sacks' posts I read that the doomer industrial complex and the concerned EA orgs are incredibly well funded and have influence deep in government and all the top abs. I prefer to read the good news!'

fascinating how dead toryism is this would be a normal position if accompanied by the usual appeal to The Old Flag, but conservatives now don't seem to care for the UK either, so it ends up just being an incoherent call for isolationism, which is plainly nonsensical and unexciting

no offence to oomf but this debate broadly comes off as americentric, the rest of us can't afford to twiddle our thumbs amidst 2 more years of capability advancement and hope wisconsin rednecks choose better next time we work with the rsi governments we have, not the rsi governments we wish we had

I think it's interesting that "platonic" usually colloquially means essential (ie pertaining to essence) but can also pretty straightforwardly mean the opposite (cf cave) then there's platonic affection which is kind of orthogonal to both

re: "spiking in totally random areas"
GPT-6 Astra has the best result yet on the Bach Benchmark. Its chorale contains no voice-leading errors, and its harmonic palette is sophisticated enough to include a Neapolitan sixth chord. More importantly, it is the first model to ever write passing tones on this benchmark, a significant leap in musical understanding.
Extra High effort. Prompt below:
"In LilyPond (version 2.24), write a 4-part chorale in the style of Bach, 3/4 time, G minor. Use two staves -- soprano and alto on the top staff, tenor and bass on the bottom staff. Respond with only the code block."
