@jannalulu_ @yifever How much worse?

@yifever this reads worse in english than in chinese 🤨

holy shit chinese people have zero filter

@morallawwithin I just checked and I also think that

Personally I think introspection is neat

Every so often, I'll post something and someone in the replies will ask "Oh yeah? Who says?" Me. I say. This should be obvious from the fact that I said it.

@EneaszWrites Wait you did actually send it before x.com/eneaszwrites/s…

@NoahTopper I don't understand why some things go to drafts instead of posting, and I find them weeks later

"Good Evening, Rob Long" is the 6 7 of the EA community

explaining philanthropy to an american: “okay so imagine a. berger”

That seems as silly to me as demanding people write “maybe defund the police” on their protest signs. If someone believes we should defund the police (in the normal way people just believe stuff), I’m fine with them just saying so, even if I disagree. I don’t expect this weird hedging.

@NoahTopper @robbensinger @ControlAI Well, my reading of the title is it implies certainty and if they meant to be less certain they could have said "if anyone builds it, everybody might die"

If you still haven't read "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies", the recent bestseller on why superintelligent AI could mean the end of the human species, you should check out this great video by AI In Context! x.com/ChanaMessinger…

@andrewfenton @robbensinger @ControlAI I agree it’s disingenuous when people turn around and say “I just meant reform” or whatever. But if they said they weren’t intending to express certainty in their claim, I’d say fair enough.

@andrewfenton @robbensinger @ControlAI I think “defund the police” means “I believe removing funds from police departments will be beneficial” (let it be known that I do not endorse this claim)

@andrewfenton @robbensinger @ControlAI Sorry for the complex sentence but you made a pretty wacky false equivalence that was hard to respond to. Tbh I’m not sure how to simplify it.

@NoahTopper @robbensinger @ControlAI wut

@andrewfenton @robbensinger @ControlAI I still don’t get the part where you think the authors are threatening to kill your family

@robbensinger @ControlAI Doctor is relying on scientific evidence accumulated over years. These guys are engaged in wild speculation about their worst fears. I'm not even sure they believe in that outcome.

@andrewfenton @robbensinger @ControlAI No, it would be like claiming “defund the police” doesn’t mean “I am 100% certain that defunding the police is the optimal law enforcement policy”. Which in fact it does not mean.

@robbensinger @ControlAI If you believe that you are extremely gullible. That's up there with claiming 'defund the police OBVIOUSLY isn't calling to defund the police'

@RatOrthodox good thing that’ll surely slow down soon

I still tweet about bdsm and drugs, I swear, guys. It’s just been a very AI heavy few weeks.

@sergeantsup @strangestloop Amazing how child-rearing trends change over time

@strangestloop my mom ate a lotta shoes when she was pregnant with me 🤷

When is the last time you were Advanced Naked? (naked with shoes on)

At long last, I have my Lighthaven plaque

@So8res Type of shit that makes you think you’re in a simulation

Salvation Army bins and trucks say "donate goods", with the "do good" highlighted in red. The result: sometimes I'm wandering around the environment and I see these big "DO GOOD NATE S" messages.

@ciphergoth illogical or

How do you usually pronounce xor?
