1. Do the right thing. The right thing tends to increase net happiness for conscious creatures. 2. Be happy. Put another way, cultivate and refine the skill of being happy. 3. Love. Put another way, cultivate and refine the skill of loving yourself and others. 4. Try to be less wrong. You're wrong. Evidence will tend to lead you to being less wrong. Follow the evidence, as there's nothing else worth following. 5. Reject identity. Identity is about ego, which tends to be an inhibitor for happiness, love, and flourishing. You don't need an identity. ClearerThinking.org prompted me to identify my personal principles.

@lulumeservey …as I was just saying, how sure are we about who’s AI who isn’t? If I were in school right now I’d be called on the carpet every other day based on my em-dash usage alone.

The most prolific writers of X articles are Claude and ChatGPT That viral longform post you recently saw is most likely ghostwritten by an LLM People aren’t even putting in the effort to edit the drafts to sound more human We should raise our standards as readers
Tanay Jaipuria@tanayj

I've been running the articles that go viral on X through an AI detector and about 80% of them are completely AI generated. I don't think people has grasped just how much AI slop they are getting exposed to on a daily basis.

@lulumeservey I've discovered that my writing is so similar to AI writing, I should be quite concerned that I'm...ah...perhaps not non-artificial.

@LukeKorkowski @brivael "Capitalism" is not a political ideology that is predicated on murdering non-conformists and the rich.

Tout mec qui se réclame du marxisme en 2026 devrait être traité socialement comme un ancien nazi en 1946. Pas par excès. Par cohérence intellectuelle. Le communisme a tué entre 85 et 100 millions de personnes au XXe siècle. C'est, et de très loin, l'idéologie la plus meurtrière de toute l'histoire de l'humanité. Voici le top 10 de l'horreur, et pourquoi il est urgent d'ouvrir le Nuremberg du communisme. Cuba (1959 à aujourd'hui). Castro et le Che, héros des t-shirts d'étudiants Sciences Po. 35 000 à 140 000 morts, exécutions sommaires, 2 millions d'exilés, dissidents enfermés à vie pour un poème, économie ruinée pendant 65 ans. L'île-prison qui sert encore de modèle à une partie de la gauche occidentale. Éthiopie communiste (1974-1991). La "Terreur rouge" du régime de Mengistu : 500 000 morts dans les purges, et une famine artificielle qui en tue entre 500 000 et 1 million de plus. Autour d'1,5 million de morts pour appliquer un manuel marxiste-léniniste à un pays africain. Vietnam et Laos (à partir de 1975). Camps de rééducation pour 1 à 2,5 millions de personnes après la chute de Saïgon. Boat people : entre 200 000 et 400 000 morts en mer, fuyant le "paradis socialiste" sur des coquilles de noix. Quand un peuple préfère mourir noyé que rester chez lui, ça devrait suffire à clore le débat. Roumanie de Ceausescu (1965-1989). Securitate omniprésente, avortement interdit pour produire des "ouvriers", orphelinats-mouroirs, enfants morts par dizaines de milliers dans des conditions abominables. Un peuple entier mis en cage pour servir une utopie productiviste. Corée du Nord (1948 à aujourd'hui). Trois générations de famille Kim, des camps de concentration ouverts en ce moment même pendant que tu lis ce thread, des enfants nés dans les goulags qui meurent dans les goulags. Famine des années 1990 : 600 000 à 2,5 millions de morts. Le seul État stalinien encore en activité au XXIe siècle. Khmers rouges au Cambodge (1975-1979). Pol Pot et son projet d'année zéro maoïste : entre 1,7 et 2 millions de morts en moins de 4 ans, soit 21 à 25% de la population cambodgienne. Vidage des villes en 24 heures, exécution des intellectuels (parfois pour le simple fait de porter des lunettes), torture industrielle à S-21, charniers des Killing Fields. La performance la plus pure du communisme : tuer un quart de son propre peuple en mode accéléré. Goulag soviétique (1918-1956). Le système concentrationnaire bolchevique : 18 millions de personnes y sont passées, entre 1,5 et 2 millions y sont mortes de froid, faim, épuisement, exécutions. Soljénitsyne a écrit 2 000 pages pour le décrire, et certains universitaires français trouvent encore le moyen de relativiser. Holodomor (1932-1933). Staline organise une famine artificielle en Ukraine pour briser la paysannerie et le nationalisme ukrainien. Entre 3,5 et 7 millions de morts ukrainiens (estimations démographiques détaillées : 3,9 millions). Plus 1,5 million de Kazakhs et 1,5 million de Russes du sud sur la même période. La loi des "cinq épis" envoyait au goulag pour 10 ans le vol de quelques grains de blé. Pendant que les paysans mouraient, l'URSS exportait du grain pour acheter des machines. URSS de Lénine et Staline (hors goulag et Holodomor). Terreur rouge dès 1918, déportations massives des "koulaks" (4 millions de paysans déportés), purges de 1937-38 (700 000 fusillés en 18 mois pour atteindre des quotas régionaux), déportations ethniques entières (Tchétchènes, Tatars de Crimée, Allemands de la Volga). Bilan soviétique global : 15 à 20 millions de morts directes du régime. Chine maoïste (1949-1976). Le record absolu, et de très loin. Grand Bond en avant (1958-1962) : entre 30 et 45 millions de morts par famine artificielle, dans la plus grande hécatombe de l'histoire de l'humanité. Révolution culturelle (1966-1976) : 1 à 2 millions de morts, des dizaines de millions de vies brisées, persécutions des "ennemis de classe", élites massacrées par leurs propres élèves. Réforme agraire et campagnes anti-droitières des années 50 : encore plusieurs millions de morts. Bilan chinois total : 65 millions de morts. Un seul homme. Un seul système. Un seul livre rouge. Total cumulé : 85 à 100 millions de morts. Le Livre noir du communisme, dirigé par Stéphane Courtois et publié au Robert Laffont en 1997, l'a documenté pays par pays, archive par archive. Ce n'est pas un pamphlet, c'est de l'histoire. Et pourtant. En 1945, on a fait Nuremberg. Et on a eu raison. On a jugé les bourreaux. On a interdit les symboles. On a rendu socialement infâme l'idéologie qui avait produit l'horreur. Personne ne peut aujourd'hui se promener avec une croix gammée sans être poursuivi, viré, exclu. Tant mieux. Mais pour le communisme, qui a tué 6 fois plus de personnes que le nazisme ? Rien. Pas de Nuremberg. Pas de procès. Pas d'interdiction. Au contraire : marteau et faucille en t-shirt à Coachella, Lénine sur les sacs à dos d'étudiants en Master, Mao sur les murs des facs de socio, Che Guevara icône pop dans toutes les boutiques de centre-ville. Et au Parlement européen, des partis qui se réclament encore explicitement de cette idéologie sans que personne ne sourcille. Il faut ouvrir le Nuremberg du communisme. Pas pour persécuter. Pour assainir intellectuellement. Pour que défendre le marxisme-léninisme en 2026 devienne ce que c'est réellement : la défense de la pire idéologie que l'humanité ait jamais enfantée. Une doctrine qui a produit, partout où elle a été appliquée, exactement le même résultat : famines, goulags, charniers, dictatures, ruine matérielle et morale. 100 millions de morts ne sont pas un accident d'application. Ce sont la conséquence directe et logique d'une doctrine qui pose que la propriété est un crime, que le marché est un mal, que l'individu n'existe pas, et que pour faire un homme nouveau il faut détruire l'ancien. Le marxisme n'est pas une "belle idée mal appliquée". C'est une idéologie nauséabonde, complètement décorrelée du réel, qui a méthodiquement produit la mort sur tous les continents où on l'a essayée. Ses défenseurs en 2026 devraient être traités avec exactement le même mépris social que les défenseurs de toute autre idéologie totalitaire vaincue. Pas plus. Pas moins. Juste de la cohérence.

We should have much lower tolerance for the nepo-baby communists They might seem too incompetent to be dangerous, but they are re-popularizing the most dangerous ideology of all time 100,000,000 people were killed by communists in the 20th century This is what happens every time communists gain critical power

I've seen my ER nurse wife who can have a short attention span at home and can appear sometimes as flighty (by her own admission, she IS flighty) totally lock in in situations like this. The Bad Ass mode switches on and there's no doubt who's competent and in charge. An awesome sight. Glad you got to see your own version of that. Thanks for sharing.

Last night i took my family out for a fancy dinner after the softball game to celebrate Mother's day upcoming. My two daughters age 15 & 13 went to the ladies room where they witnessed an elder woman slip, fall, and crack her head on the floor. One daughter came to get my wife, a former nurse, stating "Mom you're a nurse get in here" ..... the other daughter stayed with the woman and told the bartender. interestingly enough, bartender locked up, wait staff locked up, and i never did see the restaurant manager appear. My family basically took charge of and handled the whole situation under my wife's situation. From calling 911, finding the husband, stopping the bleeding, acquiring the cloth bandage, my girIs working together saved the day. I could not be more proud of their ability to remain calm and just operate. It was really impressive. In a day and age where no one seems to know what to do or care to do, my fam doesn't waiver. Talk about proud dad moment and learning experience for my daughters, this was it!

“The problem with building a data centre, it had been generally agreed for some years, was that it required electricity, and the problem with electricity was that it had to come from somewhere, and the problem with somewhere was that it was almost always somewhere else, connected to the place you actually needed the electricity by a series of wires, transformers, substations, environmental review boards, regional transmission organisations, cost allocation disputes, and at least one retired schoolteacher named Margaret who had concerns about the noise. The solution, when it finally arrived, was so staggeringly obvious that it had only taken humanity approximately four billion years and one very impatient South African to think of it, which was to put the data centre in the one place where Margaret could not reach it, namely four hundred miles straight up.” - LLM summary of our Orbital Data Center report in the voice of Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, my favourite book)

I've seen several of these kinds of posts recently. Let me give a personal counter example. In first grade, my daughter was hit with a snowball at recess by another kid. She punched him right in the face. Crying (because she hated having to be violent), she ran over to the teachers supervising the playground and told them what she did. The teachers nodded and said, "No problem." Gave her hug and that was that. After school, daughter told me what happened, still weepy about it. I gave her a hug and told her how proud I was of her. She stood up to the bully, put him in his place, and went to the authority to explain. Those teachers did right by her. They saw the issue was handled and handled well. They didn't see a need to call me, as the issue was done. So, to the teachers of Crested Butte Community School from 15 or 16 years ago: Well done!
End3of6Days9 (Helen) 🇺🇸@end3of6days9

📱This dad got the phone call every parent dreads — the school needed him to come in because his daughter “hit a kid.” He rushes there, sits his 10-year-old down, and hears the full story: a bully had been chasing her and her friends, cornered her, and pushed her down. His daughter did exactly what dad had taught her — grabbed a rock and threw it in self-defense, then ran. The principal and dad watch the playground camera footage together… and it backs her up 100%. But the principal still wants to discipline her. Dad stands his ground: “She did nothing wrong. Why aren’t we talking about the kid who chased her around?” After 15 minutes of pushback, the daughter gets a written apology and the bully gets moved to another class. I love this so much. Teach your kids to never start a fight… but make damn sure they know how to finish one when they have to. What would YOU have done in that principal’s office? Or have you ever had to stand up for your kid when the school got it wrong?

A lot of AI engineers have spent their most productive years chasing benchmarks instead of solving useful cases they can relate to. If the car fails to take me home, then I simply fail at my job and can’t go home. That’s it.

Big fan here of Tesla here. Safety notice: FSD is not ready for Oahu roads. On a trip from Kailua to Waianae, the car attempted about 5-6 wrong turns. Not simple errors either. Just flat out wrong turns that would have led to backtracking. Something is really off with the nav. Also, driver profiles don’t fit Hawaii driving well. In a 55 “standard” goes 70 while “chill” goes 57. Standard should be 62. We have roads that have a 25 mph speed limit where 40 is more appropriate. FSD struggles with context. It had me going 50 in a 30 recently. Importantly, FSD cannot see our giant potholes here, either. Since we “pave” with what appears to be water-soluble pixie dust, we get tons of potholes and FSD plows right into them. @Tesla_AI I hope y’all can fix/validate in Hawaii.

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while because, more often than not, I find myself doomscrolling, screaming “NOT ALL WOMEN!” It seems like most of the women represented in media are, for lack of a better word, insane. So this is for you—the woman reading this who has been quietly holding it together while the world loses its collective mind. (link below)
