@rifflexielian Star Wars. Mix of both and has holocrons

@paulg No, it’s because people don’t trust AIs enough to commit to the time it takes to read through their answers because it could be bullshit.

@pmarca Introspection without a reliable moral framework will do this. Most of the west is now anchorless morally, so yes, emotional disorders will be the norm. The alternative is becoming such that the lines are blurred between what is man and what is machine.

@esaagar We night owls do exist, and we are productive. Please don’t do this to us

I got to see the sun rise once in Arizona at 445am. It was awesome

@esaagar @NateSilver538 I'm confused, are you advocating for a 430am sunrise in June?

@Austen Can AI teach kids to be human in the age of AI?
English

Bad news for the “these AI apps will never be able to teach kids as well as a teacher” folks.
Phenomenal news for everybody else.

@One_Way_Home Go have some kids. Dogs are dogs man. Love them but you can’t ascribe human-level consciousness to them.

@TheFieldOf68 Coach is 100% right. Court storming went from a 'celebration' to a 'security hazard' way too fast. When staff members are literally getting punched, it’s no longer about the fans—it's about a lack of control.

@ThePrimeagen Did they determine if it will be live action or animation? I didn’t see that in the announcement

@ThePrimeagen Wait til you get to Book 4, The Shadow Rising. Blows book 1 away in its evolution of the characters, expansion of the world, and delivering on setup from books 1-3

@JoshuaBarzon I’m sure my bad decisions had nothing to do with it at all

Hey @PublicStorage I’ll have my stuff out before you get another penny from me. No humans on site. No warning, you just wouldn’t let me OUT of the exit gate at 9:30pm. Today I get these notices. Upselling to 24/7 access when the product is being able to get out of your facility?

@DICKS commercial just now: “Every holiday begins with Dick’s” can’t be an accident

@hubermanlab Everywhere I turn lately there seems to be messaging about how important it is to control and be intentional with one’s attention.
English

The big one for me was realizing that humans and the human brain are amazing, but very prone to having our thinking controlled by where we place our attention and the inputs we get there. A recent guest on the podcast (not out yet) basically explained thinking as a progressive layering of different sensory modalities on a seed event. Once you realize that your thinking is more under your control than you thought and that you have to be careful to not let those cascades take you down unhealthy and unproductive paths, all the business of discipline and careful contemplation becomes much easier. If this seems vague, I should probably just do a podcast about it but there’s real science to back it up. I wish it for everybody because it gives you a real sense of internal calm. You can really start to formulate your thoughts and actions in the best possible way. Life gets so much easier.

@nbaischeeks @ItIsHoeMath We can change that, I fight my kids on it all the time. I’d argue it’s easier to change than alcoholism

@premanently @ItIsHoeMath its dead buddy people would rather text the person next to them than talk

A lot of hot takes on this goin' around.
The biggest reason this is happening is that Gen Z doesn't socialize. When I started drinking, I was sneaking around with my friends and buying malt liquor illegally at a bodega that didn't card, and then hanging out in backyards with "cool parents" with friends of friends and girls from 3 towns over.
Gen Z is not sneaking around anywhere. They're inside on the phone trying to talk to everyone else who's inside on the phone.
Society's dead.
