@ben__h @yuanyi_z @MyrtileSauvage I told him that - we are together in Stockholm for the moment, back in Old Blighty at the end of next week. I also have some Newtonmass presents, we need to ensure they do not build up critical mass. Plenty of asylum inmates around Oxford right now!

TIL I lived on the same block as Nick Bostrom's outfit and never realised it. Clearly I wasn't meant for greatness.

@tegmark Hey, we radical transhumanists are pretty into having safer superintelligence too!

@owengreeley Wellington is not easy to *make*. The recipe makes it clear; the text version would be even more confusing. (Wellington is one of those nice-but-more-work-than-it-is-worth dishes).

@michael_nielsen @NotMedic The lecture note was from another seminar, but gives a feeling for how these thought experiments tend to bloom. The "Snowy San Francisco Case" in the seminar involves the Fat Man on a toboggan on a hill, double trolleys and very large levers that can be counterfactually pulled.

@michael_nielsen @NotMedic Part of me I immediately thought "but isn't this a cost minimization problem that is in P?" Then the non-nerd part of my brain told it to enjoy the joke. A third part began reminiscing about a Frances Kamm seminar where we did end up with trolley problems not unlike this...

@StefanFSchubert Ah, I should have recognized the Stockholm migmatites... Småland granites tends to be more red (However, I suspect I would not actually have been able to tell them apart.)

@gregeganSF One of my great lifehacks has been to allow a LLM to rename PDF files to something meaningful as I download them. At least for scientific papers this is robust and useful.

When setting a default name for the PDFs your customers download for their records, maybe try to find a Goldilocks zone between Mercury ("getPDF.pdf" for every file) and the Oort Cloud ([64 hex digits guaranteed unique across the universe, and utterly meaningless to humans].pdf)

@hannu "By repeatedly triggering early gravitational collapse, we create conditions that favor spontaneous inflation bubbles in descendant universes. This will help us understand the issue of late-stage vacuum decay in normal universes."

The thing we should be really worried about is gain-of-function cosmology.

@TerribleMaps Here is a Swedish example from Jönköping: Östra Storgatan = Eastern Big Street. Lillgatan = Little Street. Mellangatan = Middle Street. (which is not between them! Argh!)

One of the key premises that led some people to conclude p(doom) ~= 1 was that AI would accelerate so fast (FOOM) that there would be no warning shot. This seems now clearly false. We've had a couple of warning shots. May we heed them!

The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event that deserves unprecedented transparency. Today we’re sharing everything we can: a full technical timeline, an interactive replay, and how we used an open model to defend ourselves, so defenders everywhere can learn from it and prepare for what’s next. huggingface.co/blog/agent-int…

Given the recent FIFA commercialization nonsense, why not go full #MarketsInEverything and have auctions for red and yellow cards? That may make refereeing so much more efficient!

Learn to ignore haters, especially imaginary ones. It is too easy to imagine somebody writing something snide or irate, and it forces mealymouthy caution. Low-effort comments to your posts don't deserve any effort from you. (Exception: some "Why?" responses)

Another one is: multi page tweets will be skimmed, at best.
