@captgouda24 Sign language would unironically have been a useful skill for everyone to learn in school, instead of French and such that everyone forgets due to disuse. Plenty of opportunity to communicate with people in noisy environments, or for use when you don't want to disturb others.

it's kinda incredible how sign language had the chance to be a universal language of deaf people, but instead not only did we keep different languages unintelligible we also made it so that americans can't even understand british people

Learn geopoliticalspeaks. "GDP per capita" means Washington-based "GDP per capita PPP" - Brussels "GDP PPP" - Beijing "GDP Growth" - New Dehli Know these terms and you will win any economic debate.

@dexhorthy That's pretty bang on if he was talking about stellar magnitude though! (E.g, a star of magnitude 3.0 is ~2.5 times as bright as a star of magnitude 4.0)

@Aella_Girl "In an ideal world"... That'd be something I can't even currently imagine, likely so strange that the very idea of an exclusive relationship is either an absurd arbitrary restriction or entirely incoherent.

In an ideal world, would you like some kind of open relationship? || If a loose acquaintance at a large social event asked to have a drink from your water bottle, would you feel comfortable letting them?

@benmharrison @robinhanson Curiosity has taken more than a million photographs of the surface. I don't think we've seen the nextmost artificial-looking one. Also I suspect the image may be upscaled and colorized? In the picture at the of the article it looks significantly less interesting.

@Aransentin @robinhanson I agree with the statement but not the sentiment. The delta between this and the next most geometric is massive

@distributionat @Box It's not uncommon that you don't have to actually keep that checked. The TOS line being first is for people who skim the text and miss the second part; that way you can trick people into accepting marketing even though legally it has to be optional.

Forcing people to sign up for marketing email so they can agree to the mandatory TOS is gross and should be illegal. Fuck @box

@captgouda24 The obvious shock is if anyone of their extended group of friends or relatives gets their job automated, making it "real".

Hey folks, can you help me brainstorm? I am trying to think of examples of plausibly exogenous shocks to peoples beliefs that their job will be automated, unrelated to technological progress. This could also be on the small-scale -- a plant closure, for instance. Please help!

@meekaale Pasting from the workbench is similarly FUBARd, it adds an extra newline for every row if you've added an output to the conversation, and is copying from the "input". Very annoying!

@joseph_gellman A fun example of "just doing stuff" was the Swedish director-general Bror Rexed, who in 1967 held a speech where he successfully reformed the Swedish language by unilaterally abolishing the system of honorifics.

@bryan_caplan Paradox! 100% would include himself, and thus by choosing to not resign in that case he would in effect "resign", albeit in a somewhat unorthodox manner.

@dundereloise For most blocked and/or muted it could very likely be Elon himself; from a combination of being signal-boosted and posting tons of really low-quality dross. Not to mention all the annoying people and spammers who reply to him.

@brianluidog I figured those "react" videos were a way of monetising other peoples content by people who were better at gaming the algorithm or creating clickbait thumbnails and such. There's no point in others going 2 levels deep, they can just always rip off the original video.

You know those "Alice REACTS to Bob playing Minecraft" videos? I expected there to be videos like "Charlie REACTS to Alice REACTING to Bob." But there are none. That's because meta-stuff is only fun for 70+ IQ people, and none of the react video watchers are anywhere near that.

@CoughsOnWombats eh, don't bother. AI will never *actually* be intelligent (having qualia) so they won't be able beat us in anything that matters (what free-tier consumer models can't do on this exact day) and thus won't really be dangerous

Guys I think I've done it. I've solved the alignment problem. What if- and hear me out- what if we keep it in a box? We could promise just to let it out for really important stuff, or maybe not to let it out at all. Although that seems like overkill?

@CoughsOnWombats It can be bad when used insincerely, like implying people who still believe X that you've now abandoned are immature and/or uninformed.

I'll always stan this. When people change their minds based on new evidence, a little light comes into the world. I think this happens even when I disagree with the content of the update, although I'm predictably way better at noticing it when I don't.

I was against him, but he was right. Jordan Peterson was right about pronouns. I was against him, but he was right and I was wrong. It is just as bad as he said it would be; played out exactly how he said it would. Time for me to eat humble pie.

@visakanv Reading silently to oneself – i.e. without speaking the words simultaneously – was a sufficiently unusual skill in antiquity that Augustine explicitly mentioned that Ambrose could do it.
