@Josh_Isnt Aww I didn't get to finish it. Will it go back up soon?

JUST KIDDING I HAD TO TAKE IT DOWN FOR NOW SMH

Uh New video Oh youtube

I HAVE RETURNED TO MAIN because I am FURIOUS that @JNJGlobalHealth is preventing millions from accessing life-saving treatment with bedaquiline, thereby costing innumerable lives and increasing the global risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5…

One of the reasons tuberculosis continues to infect and kill more people is because you refuse to allow the widespread distribution of affordable bedaquiline, which is essential to stopping the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and curing those infected by it. It takes some gall to wonder aloud what the problem is when you know that you are the problem. You've had 20 years of a bedaquiline monopoly. You've made your money. ENOUGH.

@sciam This article is riddled with typos; give it another read-over before publishing

A pillar of every neuroscience textbook, the classic “homunculus” has just gone through a radical revision trib.al/NFloxL2

@ESYudkowsky My biggest note to you is to make your tweets more readable by a general audience -- and I think you're getting that feeling too. Artificial Intelligence Alignment is important for the general public, but we aren't communicating it well enough to that general public.

If the first prototype of your most powerful rocket ever doesn't make it perfectly to orbit and land safely after, you may be a great rocket company CEO but you're not qualified to run an AGI company. (Neither is any other human. Shut it down.)

Can't we just go back to the normal way where we google our symptoms and then assume we have brain cancer?

Turns out wearing shoes was an emergent property of large language models 🤷🏻‍♂️ But can they overprescribe antidepressants? Or is psychiatry safe?

Therapists: AI psychotherapy won't work; machines can't have empathy. They can't relate to your experiences by putting themselves in your shoes OpenAI: The new GPT wears shoes Therapists:

@MatthewGaydos @phildunster Wait, what was the TFIOS reference?

I need to know if the TFIOS reference in this week’s Ted Lasso was @phildunster’s idea.

Finally increased the size of my cursor because I kept losing track of it. Also made it purple, as a treat. Do what you can to help your eyeballs, friends!

New video! Why do some people believe that they are dead? Cotard Syndrome, or Walking Corpse Syndrome, is the answer. youtu.be/Z38bjdmfVyY

"It’s fascinating... to read doomsday predictions, but it’s even more fascinating to watch what happens to the reasoning of true believers when the prediction flops..." -Tavris & Aronson: Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me) Will #AGI progress create "flop" doomsday predictions?

Gonna need a USB breathalyzer to activate this, so that when your users are drunk, they don't mass email an itemized list of how horny they are. And then figure out how to safeguard the actions of people who are tired, angry, high, addicted, logged in on a public computer...

Awful development. These are all features that increase the existential risk of AI -- they make it more difficult for humans to intervene if an AI agent's goal is misaligned with human goals. We need more safeguards, not fewer.

I bet the local gastropub just calls it Dew-Kissed Herba so they can charge you more

Maybe a nice royal purple?

Considering organizing my bookshelves by color. Any books from violet to magenta that y'all'd recommend?
