I'm not in SF tonight, but is there any interest in a Anthropic Solidarity event tomorrow night? My place can do like ~140 people

thursday, 6:30 pm –– civic center plaza, city hall steps on McAllister. a vigil for people killed in ice custody and enforcement, from detention deaths to Minneapolis. names will be read. bring a candle.

@alexeyguzey it's unfortunate that your response to seeing a sloppy tweet is to be even more sloppy and also bad faith

ABSOLUTE CLOWNS 🤡🤡🤡

happy rosh hashanah

@Aella_Girl You also charge $4k/hour and by 2017 had already been featured in Playboy. I'm not sure if the girls making $250 a night are also feeling awesome.

a big 'aha' moment for me was the first time i got paid for sex. I went in braced for emotional impact. Would I feel gross and used? would I cry myself to sleep? but instead, I felt awesome. The experience was thoroughly, simply, good. then i realized society had lied to me.

Everyone has heard that Lean is a programming language that allows for proof verification in mathematics. But what does that actually mean and how does it work? If you’re interested in this question you should check out an article my friends and I wrote detailing the nuts and bolts of how Lean works. The article is written for those who want to get feel for what’s really going on, but don’t want to comb through the documentation.

@IvanVendrov do you also feel wary of directness/being explicit in social interactions?

the problem with numbers (& metrics, money etc) is that they generate common knowledge too quickly. they're acid for the collective imaginary a lot of cooperation runs on ambiguity & equivocation, leaving space for many narratives, allowing for optimism, saving face, cope etc.

perfume genius on what he likes about addison rae

1) when we condition aid based on work to the “deserving” poor, we contradict the fundamental ethical premise that no one should go hungry or without healthcare 2) labor markets are structurally unequal. in many areas there simply arent enough jobs. ex deindustrialization 3) empirical studies have shown that work requirements don’t lead to significant increases in employment 4) access to food and healthcare are prerequisites for sustained employment, not rewards for it.

can someone steelman having zero work requirements for food stamps and medicaid? i am generally pro these programs existing, but it doesn’t seem insane to me that there’d be work requirements for non-disabled people.

actually "coaching" is a far more structured fantasy than mere sex: a simulation of authority, encouragement, and belief. calling it "coaching" sanitizes the fact that you're asking an LLM to play the part of someone who knows what they're doing, and you’re roleplaying a version of yourself who listens

this chart deceptively makes "roleplay" sound like a fringe or deviant use case. coaching, interpersonal advice, and companionship all involve role-enactment. but only some of these get flagged as "roleplay", because they're socially charged

@oldestasian @owenbroadcast “No,” he heard a voice on the wind say. “If Owen had tweeted it, you wouldn’t have seen the sky from the bookstore. It was a beautiful afternoon, wasn't it?”

@owenbroadcast Wow wish you had tweeted this 6 years ago so I wouldn’t have spent 20$ and 4 hrs reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

old story: one night the city carpenter has a dream: there is treasure under the blacksmith’s shed. the blacksmith lives outside the city. on the way there, he passes the city guard. the guard says: where are you going? the carpenter tells him about his dream. the guard says: don’t be silly - last night i had a dream there was treasure under the carpenters chicken coop, that doesn’t mean i have to go there. the carpenter goes home and finds treasure under his chicken coop.

my feeling is that the historical claims are just wrong here "Europe recovered quickly from ww2 because each country remained high trust and homogeneous.." literally every European country relied heavily on migrant labor (often from its former colonies) to rebuild after WWII. the SNCF (French Railways) and automotive factories recruited thousands of North African workers in the 50s–70s... the British Nationality Act of 1948 granted citizenship to people from the commonwealth in order to resolve labor shortages (windrush generation)... Netherlands received labor migrants from indonesia, suriname, and the netherlands antilles. germany initiated worker programs with turkey, as did Sweden and Belgium and Switzerland. sometimes these guest workers weren't invited as permanent settlers, but often they were, and even when they weren't, many stayed. the idea that "Europe was just high-trust and homogeneous and then migration randomly happened (presumably because of Woke)" has no historical grounding. fundamentally there is no postwar economic boom without mass migration. and of course there is no mass migration without the labor shortages from ww2 so your attempt to decouple ww2 and mass migration doesn't land at all for me

Hypothesis: we’ll look back on mass migration as being worse for Europe than WW2 was. Europe recovered quickly from WW2, because each country remained high-trust and homogeneous. But you can’t just rebuild your way out of internal ethno-religious fractures.
