Hierarchy is what keeps you from being able to exist comfortably and in pluralistic harmony with all the various flows of humanity. It keeps you locked into arborescent modes of thinking. Until we slay that dragon, we cannot be free.

the super intelligence shit is a humiliation ritual for openAI and the sector more broadly, to see if they change their name I think. I unfortunately think it's actual in terms of regime politics relatively smart.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Musk has spent a decade saying lidar is "a crutch," while relying on a much bigger "crutch" in the form of human supervision, so now his engineers have to wallow around in the toxic fallout of their boss's cognitive meltdown here's a thread covering how that's going:

This gets back to the moravec’s paradox thing where we wrongly assume that if a computer can do something we think is hard, it must also be able to do all the things we would have to learn to do in order to do that hard thing.

Friends, when I sent this message to my team laughing, I didn't know that this fairytale blog had been shared far & wide & that people actually believed it. I didn't know that until someone asked me for a good source debunking this nonsense. I'm not sure what planet we're living in at this point.
Timnit commented "I don't know what level of ridiculousness this is", sharing a screenshot that reads

@Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp
Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. 

This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. 

All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy.

I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened. 

Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English:

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.

As a principled conservative, I'm convinced that Donald Trump is the single most destructive politician I've seen in my lifetime. That's why it's so crucial that Democrats pledge to preserve my current tax loopholes so that I can vote for them in November.

One of the weirdest things about getting older is that young people start talking nostalgically about periods of history that you lived through, in truly bizarre & selective ways. Like, the way Gen Z talks about the 90s ... as tho the entire country was composed of single-earners who owned houses.
