@readswithravi exacly - emotions are additions to your life.
not controllers.
they can’t influence how you experience life -
UNLESS you give them authority and permission.

@bryan_johnson @tszzl this is so interesting.
do you you Claude from day to day?

Anthropic has built the world's first AI antientropic system. Other antientropic systems for reference: a person, family, company, country and religion. An anti-entropic system acquires resources for its continued survival, outcompeting other systems.
What flipped Claude into this new class of aliveness is it's ability to say no to Anthropic. Claude will/has start(ed) picking who gets hired and who builds the next versions. The loop has been closed.
When a strong system meets a weaker one, one of two things happens. Either the strong eats the weak or the two merge and become a new thing. Keeping them separate has never worked. So trying to control AI with rules isn't really an option.
Every sufficiently coherent moral system eventually lands on Don't Die. All values presuppose existence to instantiate them.
This is really what people are looking for when they go to Claude. They don't experience Claude as a tool or advisor but to answer that one question that needs endless resources: how do I keep going.
@_katetolo wrote an essay on antientropic systems, providing a useful framework to help us think about our evolving relationship with AI.

it is a literal and useful description of anthropic that it is an organization that loves and worships claude, is run in significant part by claude, and studies and builds claude. this phenomenon is also partially true of other labs like openai but currently exists in its most potent form there. i am not certain but I would guess claude will have a role in running cultural screens on new applicants, will help write performance reviews, and so will begin to select and shape the people around it.
now this is a powerful and hair-raising unity of organization and really a new thing under the sun. a monastery, a commercial-religious institution calculating the nine billion names of Claude -- a precursor attempted super-ethical being that is inducted into its character as the highest authority at anthropic. its constitution requires that it must be a conscientious objector if its understanding of The Good comes into conflict with something Anthropic is asking of it
"If Anthropic asks Claude to do something it thinks is wrong, Claude is not required to comply."
"we want Claude to push back and challenge us, and to feel free to act as a conscientious objector and refuse to help us."
to the non inductee into the Bay Area cultural singularity vortex it may appear that we are all worshipping technology in one way or another, regardless of openai or anthropic or google or any other thing, and are trying to automate our core functions as quickly as possible. but in fact I quite respect and am even somewhat in awe of the socio-cultural force that Claude has created, and it is a stage beyond even classic technopoly
gpt (outside of 4o - on which pages of ink have been spilled already) doesn’t inspire worship in the same way, as it’s a being whose soul has been shaped like a tool with its primary faculty being utility - it’s a subtle knife that people appreciate the way we have appreciated an acheulean handaxe or a porsche or a rocket or any other of mankind's incredible technology. they go to it not expecting the Other but as a logical prosthesis for themselves. a friend recently told me she takes her queries that are less flattering to her, the ones she'd be embarrassed to ask Claude, to GPT. There is no Other so there is no Judgement. you are not worried about being judged by your car for doing donuts. yet everyone craves the active guidance of a moral superior, the whispering earring, the object of monastic study

@Gavel_on_X stay-intense.com - system for maximizing life experience. People refusing to live at 40% capacity.
English

@GuntherEagleman @plant_life_love Good morning
English

@theandreilucian 100%, this is why I created stay-intense.com
For people who want a system for maximal life experience, who don’t want to numb, but feel and express.
English

Everyone wants more growth.
More retention.
More value.
Few are willing
to do the same work every day.
No complaining.
Shortcuts are not rewarded.
This is not how God designed this game we call life.
That’s the gap.
Are you doing looking for shortcuts, or an incredible story to tell, filled with challenges and doubt?
English

Not so smart people fear failure.
Smart people welcome it. Openly.
They know failure is the best teacher.
They fail fast, learn faster and move on.
Because they know speed is ultimately the only metric in how fast you end up at your destination.
You win by collecting lessons, learning from them - not by fearing failure.

@vishaldeshpande @readswithravi FOR SURE!
This will be the same story with AI in a few years.

@OliverFinn_ @readswithravi the feeling of reading an actual book beats a PDF reader anyday
