why yes i believe you should invest in and trust this company. it has five employees, and if you count only current cohabitation and sexual relationships, their mean degree of separation from me is 1.6.

1) WHAT Dwarkesh is roommates with a researcher at Anthropic? did this not strike anyone as a bad idea? no?

As I keep saying, we're months away from RSI.
Dwarkesh (who, BTW, is roommates with a senior Anthropic researcher) has heard that Anthropic expects Al to match humans at Al research within 9 months.

i get this reaction a lot, usually when i am saying something mean about people adjacent to them people decide i am committing heinous category errors of some kind. i think i am roughly as deranged in every direction.

An annotated version of Konstantin Korobov’s 2022 oil painting *Agnus*, featuring seven snarling brown wolves aggressively biting a peaceful, sleeping white lamb with a golden halo, which is positioned in the center. Modern white text is overlaid onto each of the seven wolves, labeling them with different debate behaviors:

* **Top-left wolf** is labeled “Insults & mental-health jabs.”
* **Middle-left wolf** (biting the lamb's midsection) is labeled “Flat denial.”
* **Bottom-left wolf** (biting the lamb’s rear leg) is labeled “Argued rebuttal.”
* **Bottom-most wolf** (biting the bottom leg) is labeled ““My X is conscious””.
* **Bottom-right wolf** (biting a rear leg/tail area) is labeled “Wants more suffering.”
* **Middle-right wolf** (snarling and biting the chest area) is labeled ““Then it’s slavery””.
* **Top-right wolf** (baring its teeth in the upper corner) is labeled “Memes, GIFs & laughter.”

The artwork has a textured, classical style with muted tones, contrasted sharply by the digital, sans-serif labeled text on each wolf.

what I see a lot of, in replies to this thread, is evidence of people scared after confronting the possibility that they might not be as nice towards the world as they thought they were, and they're retreating into performative public viciousness as an ingroup signal and a coping mechanism

a lot of opposition to AI is rent seeking, and the material incentives of being a rentier, even a small time one, lead you towards fascist conclusions from first principles

unfortunately i cannot call down a mob as well as @shibbi.me because i do not seem as earnest or kind, mobs love people who won't bite their heads off
