Again: the part of language that LLMs are bad at ["pragmatics": communicative intent, implication] is intimately linked to theory-of-mind.

Everyone, I'm begging you, create an alternative identity on some other social-media site--preferably, one that is open-source and federated and yes I mean Mastodon--so that when-not-if this place goes to shit, you have a backup space for your community, esp. if you're marginalized and/or activist.

There are more of them than of us, but we want to live more than they want to kill us. That's why we'll win. There are several defintions of "we" and the above is correct for all of them.

reusing the exact same 10 "spaceship flies into atmosphere" sequences and tinting the sky a different color, etc. These tricks are kinda annoying, but getting rid of them costs literally $100 million and means the difference between having a long-running beloved janky franchise and cancelling it

In another world Israel's offensive in Gaza petered out in November/December 2023 as they expended their entire strategic stockpile of aerial bombs, as the US followed its own laws and moral obligations and did not provide new supply.

Running an "unaligned" LLM system on the open internet is the actus reus of "negligence", but LLMs lack the ability to work out that two different words describe the same phenomena. [because that's semantics, and LLMs and the p-zombies that use them only work/"think" syntactically]

I think a fun way to achieve a kind of immortality would be to summit Everest and then get nude at the very top and die in an attempted self-suck position. Try to get frozen to the spot so they can't get you down and everyone has to deal with you forever. A quick before and after of the concept.

A photo of a smiling man in an orange snowsuit standing at the peak of Mt. Everest, his arms raised in triumph

The same photo, but now there is a crude doodle of a figure crouched at the triumphant climber's feet. The figure is dead and frozen and looks like he's trying to suck his own dick, which is fairly shriveled from the intense cold.

Obviously, Israel should be automatically expelled from every sporting competition just like Russia and also, all of their politicians and military officers should be automatically arrested at any international border they attempt to cross, for processing.

It is no coincidence that rationalists and EAs tend to be straight white guys from well-off families, because for everybody else, the world usually conspires to knock some sense into you about your inherent god-emperor genius by the time you’re old enough to drink.

I wish Alberta was known for a few other things other than the absence of rats. No one wants to visit a place based on the fact that they don't have rats. It's just not a strong calling card. I mean New York has them, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo... Every great place has rats.

I occasionally do consults for new businesses and part of my staple template advice is to always have at least one pay period's worth of payroll set aside from the start. Because you do not ever want to end up in a situation where you furlough or let people go *after* you ran out.
