We will not understand the mind until we can build any possible mind from scratch.

@RichardDawkins RIP

Bob Trivers has died. Highly influential thinker, largely responsible for the economic reasoning that dominates modern evolutionary theory. To read his well-named autobiography, Wild Life, is a trip as crazy-wild as the substance-induced trips that fuelled his brilliant ideas.

@kognise7 tis

@JesterMule is it

bro why does my uber driver's car have a neumorphic clock ui time machined from 2019

@bryan_johnson @RCarhartHarris awesome!

Livestreaming 5-MeO-DMT this weekend… what should I expect?

@tszzl TRUE!

the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies

@max_spero_ im fine with it being worse for yacine specifically but i should be able to scream bloody murder at claude

I think it’s good that LLMs will pretend to be worse when people yell at them.

@mattyglesias I don't think you should have children to pull you out of an unproductive doom spiral

Is the state of the world really so uniquely bad that you can’t have children? I think parenting actually helps pull people out of unproductive doom spirals. slowboring.com/p/worry-less-d…

Getting closer to the source is a smart idea but merely being closer to the source does not inherently make you smarter. :)

@tomieinlove Mom, there's gay post-singularity fan fiction in my feed

(Sama): I'm sorry. I never meant for it to be this way. (Dario): Me neither. Can't say we weren't warned, though. (Sama): May as well let bygones be bygones. Not much else to do in here. Friends? (Dario): Friends. (GPT-7 Opus): Everyone, come! The humans are about to breed!

@cremieuxrecueil Yes but you have the high-signal pseudo-elite in your chats. Most people have rednecks and bots.

If it wasn't shilled to me in a group chat I DON'T WANT IT

@nikitabier bro i dont want to hear about AI news when I switch to my meme account

@tszzl The only “people” who will explore the universe with be beings who some now might not even call people

the romantic human aspect of space colonization-placing our flags on other worlds-is redundant with robots and Von Neumann replicators unfortunately. the mars colony will be robots. ppl can join, but as consumers of an experience rather than critical parts of novel adventures

@gbrl_dick Exactly

@Brad08414464 pls pls pls be true

the two faces of tech are Steve Jobism and Peter Thielism. tech has reached peak Thielism and will start swinging back toward Jobism, 1970s counterculture, DIY/hacker culture, hippie and humanist ideals, simplicity, creativity, beauty

@gauravisnotme A looot of people psyopped by OpenAI

I was only today years old to realize that everyone from 1 to 18-year old on this platform has a very strong opinion about how Diffusion is dead.

I’m no OpenAI lover, but um, ex:: Apple doesn’t own their own fabs. Perfectly valid change business decision independent of growth.

My guess is that the DLSS 5 demo was just put together horribly by people with no taste. But maybe it sucks. I doubt it

However, those who are genuinely coddled by their own over-introspection are going to respond with defiance if you go as far as you say we need zero introspection

To comment on the introspection debate, Genuine realizations more often arise naturally from the unconscious than need to be scrutinized and dug out by hand. I do think we have an excess, or at least a frequent misuse, in current culture.
