@DellAnnaLuca Wait, is this about that Tim Urban post?

In Aella's real-world test with real consequences, it was all adults, so no "child who couldn't know what to press" needed to be saved. And yet, 58% still decided to introduce risk where there was none, to save people who didn't need to be saved. Pure suicidal ideology.

Magic is found in practicing so much that they forget that it's a trick.

Jack you don't know me, but I think about this tweet like once a day. It's my personal roman empire.

The trick is to practice until it looks like magic to everyone who hasn’t practiced.

@sfmcguire79 how do we read the full report?

Harvard reports that it is “failing to perform the key functions of grading.” Its grading practices are “damaging the academic culture of the College.” “Faculty newly arrived at Harvard are surprised at how leniently our courses are graded.” Students say academics feel “fake.”

@ai_for_success Yo, can I get the Sora 2 invite?

Send me back, I heard my parents are poor. Made using Sora 2.

@TweetATherapist Except that they think it's their job to convert people to thinking like they do.

These stats don’t matter, but this does: Can these therapists compartmentalize when working with people with different values, ideologies, political beliefs / parties? Can they check their biases? Do sessions with them feel agenda-driven? Can they truly listen to different ideas?

@anduriltech the audio for rebootingthearsenal.com has a broken link. Can you please fix?

@JonathanShedler And you just called 95% of therapists fake... lol

Patient: Everything is hopeless Fake therapist #1: Things will get better Fake therapist #2: Let’s work on acceptance Fake therapist #3: Let’s practice breathing Fake therapist #4: Here’s a hopelessness worksheet Fake therapist #5: Read this book Fake therapist #6: That’s a trauma response Fake therapist #7: Do this to calm your nervous system Fake therapist #8: Do this to tone your vagus nerve Real psychotherapist: “Tell me”

@TFTC21 @PrestonPysh Just thought I'd leave this here... x.com/peterbropotkin…

"The biggest challenge this country has is the cognitive conditioning of the free handout... a large portion of the populous has become addicted to the money printer." - @PrestonPysh

@DellAnnaLuca Great example. Governments then should start issuing debt to build robots for mining and other raw material production before they begin using robots in other industries. Unfortunately that’s not likely to happen. Which could very well lead to shortages.

@JordanHarrisPhD For comparison, when the Italian government decided to print money in 2021 to revitalize the construction sector, it created a years-long shortage of scaffolding across Italy and some neighboring countries. Materials and tools supply are more inelastic than money supply.

The biggest AI risk isn’t Terminator-like scenarios but countries whose workforce didn’t adapt fast enough losing tax revenue faster than they imagined possible.

@DellAnnaLuca I can see that. It would take a lot.

I mean, yes, but that’s not near the scale of robots required to run the public sector. Like, we’re talking about an army the size of millions. I wouldn’t know how much it would cost to build, and how the government could afford to build it unless printing Zimbabwe style - and even if it did, I wouldn’t know if there would be enough materials to buy.

@DellAnnaLuca I also assume that the gov will just print the money to buy the robots/ issue gov contracts. It’s the old idea of good debt = buying production goods Bad debt = buying consumption goods.

@JordanHarrisPhD Like, I would agree if the government already had a self-sustaining multitude of robots, but it obviously does not, so it needs taxes to build it

@DellAnnaLuca Good point. I guess they technically don’t. Still it seems a fine line. In the us musk has teamed up with trump. That’s literally an alliance between business and government.

@JordanHarrisPhD But does the government own the capital?

@DellAnnaLuca So as long as you own the capital you don’t need the currency.

@DellAnnaLuca The money is just a proxie for productiveness. We produce something useful and get money as a way to store the productiveness we created. Which is why economist call factories capital goods. They are actually the valuable thing, not the currency.

@DellAnnaLuca It’s not like the government needs our tax dollars now anyway. They just keep printing money.

@DellAnnaLuca I don’t get it Right now we have factories + people making stuff. And the people pay taxes. I’m the future we’ll have factories making robots to make stuff. So we won’t have to tax people. The same people will run the factories and the work will be done by robots.
