@Zachariahskylab @mtracey Where to begin? Bret is basically like a cult leader, selling his listeners on deranged conspiracy theories and telling them to take various crank medical treatments.

@mtracey Is there a specific statement Brett has made on his podcast that you think he needs to correct?

I guess you’ll have to judge for yourself if my behavior was “despicable,” and makes me a “bad person” -- apparently that is Bret’s take After last night’s panel, I serenaded the crowd with a quick rendition of Sinatra’s “My Way,” so I’m doing all I possibly can to entertain

@thedarkhorsepod Timestamp 2:16:00 Pretty despicable behavior from @mtracey, I must say

One LLM-ism that I think is probably good is the thing where there's a kind of "nested take" inside another sentence. "It's less '[insert detailed, sentence-length description of what it's not like]' and more [...]." This ends up being fairly effective on a practical basis to quickly convey details in casual language.

“The single strongest personality predictor [of conspiracy thinking] is narcissism. Narcissists are particularly prone to conspiracy theories because they have a strong need for uniqueness, are prone to paranoia, and can also be remarkably gullible.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/12-things-ev…

That's true but there are also a lot of cases where you will just hit a wall since AI lacks some basic capability of humans, such as higher-level decision making or tasks that require extensive tacit knowledge. And when you look at why AI hasn't had as big an impact on the economy as some predicted, this capabilities gap largely explains why IMO.

@_everythingism Maybe. But that would be first-order thinking. An AI/machine could take over things that a human does without necessarily emulating/mimicking human ways of doing things. It would require more process re-engineering, of course, but that's not much of an obstacle.

The notion that AI must learn and perform tasks the same way humans do to earn the title “AGI” is ugly anthropocentrism. The frontier models, at their best, have been “intelligent” in a “general” way for sometime now. That they do this differently from humans is inevitable.

@hasanthehun @mattyglesias During the first term Trump was much more hawkish on China and it was probably the worst point in US-China relations in history. Second term he started with the tariffs but was forced to back off. Now he doesn't seem to have a plan.

@mattyglesias what’re the issues so far? peace and cooperation over war is probably good right? i don’t trust trump but this is ironically the one instance where he’s forced to behave.

There is no more overpraised aspect of Trumpism than his approach to China.

If Trump really had evidence the Wuhan Institute of Virology caused the pandemic, wouldn't that give him a powerful source of leverage in negotiations with China? He could tell Xi Jinping, get Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz...give American businesses access to the Chinese market. But there's so sign Trump has that kind of leverage over China.

I don't think he is. Politicians like Rand Paul turned it into a partisan attack on people like Fauci. And notice how they will talk a lot about how there's so much evidence, how it was covered up etc but the supposed smoking gun evidence never actually materializes. And meanwhile Rand Paul is using it to fundraise for himself.

@TheOmniLiberal This is similar to when Jordan Peterson tried to debate Zizek. They seem to completely miss that Zizek is critical of the left himself.

@cenkuygur Remember when you stayed quiet about Bidenomics? Inflation today is at the same level that Biden left it when he left office but don’t let the facts get in the way of your bullshitting

Trump is such an excellent bullshitter that eveyone seemed genuinely surprised at how high inflation numbers were today. When gas prices go up to the degree they did, inflation like this is inevitable. It's basic economics. Yet, people believed Trump that prices wouldn't go up.

@AdamKinzinger These politicians realized that solving real problems is difficult...much easier to put on a show and pretend you're investigating something important.

@JenCommon @RandPaul This might shock you but...the reason they didn't press charges is because they don't actually have very good evidence. Rand is using this topic to put on a show and raise money for himself.

@RandPaul No. If y’all aren’t going to even try and press charges, what’s the point? Why not tell Trump you’re not bringing forth his ballroom bill, unless he prosecuted Fauci when we still had time? Instead, you just caved and bowed down

I can sort of see what you're saying...if everything goes right it could work out that way. But don't underestimate the number of people who have already formed a negative view of her. Both she and Newsom already have high negative numbers, similar to someone like Ted Cruz on the GOP side.
