The socratic method got socrates killed - in his 70s, when he decided it was a good time to die

“Judd Rosenblatt is hiring AI engineers versed in Jewish texts, on the thesis that a tradition that survived millennia of adverse selection may know something about surviving recursive self-improvement…the Talmud's layered, self-referential reinterpretation preserves core values across civilizational resets, exactly what you want in an AI that could edit its values away.” ae.studio/join-us

I'm going to bring someone in to help me arrange salons in Ottawa when it's time. You love to do it, I don't. But when we each do what we love and are good at, everybody wins (except those who weren't invited, I guess-But ye need not despair, nor abandon all hope)

I bought more books than I can read in a lifetime because I'd like the library to be a resource and inspiration not only for myself but for family, friends, colleagues, and partners

My favorite thing I made that got no love: Chakrainsight.com I put a "relationship" facade on it but the real beauty is the actual chakra analysis. This would do well in some chick mag wouldn't it? I can write about it under my female pseudonym

I’m in Montreal. Montreal people, give me one recommendation I absolutely shouldn’t miss. Food, places, hidden gems, anything.

@dfgdsfgxcf I swear I did it for selfless reasons having little to do with my own bibliomania. Same reason I buy guitars: to support guitar builders!

@millerman Of course, tell that to yourself. It's totally not because you just enjoy the act of buying books and looking at your collection.

The narrative of a rising philosopher class in the AI industry is just not plausible, I'm afraid—whatever anyone might say or sincerely think. Don't get me wrong, may all my philosopher friends get cool gigs at big AI labs! But it's structurally impossible that human philosophy could have any say in the ultimate destination of the top models, or top model (i.e. AGI). AI is a market phenomenon, subject to extreme competitive selection. It is simply not believable that any frontier AI lab could be optimizing for anything other than the present value of future discounted cash flows, simply because it would not have made it this far. And if the philosophers on staff are not driving some enlightened divergence from this objective function, then those are just called workers. Philosophy will probably matter greatly in the AI era, as a solution to the madness that AI will indirectly bring about, but it does not at all follow that any human philosophy or philosopher will have any say in that which AI brings about.
