I'm going to make a more serious attempt at switching to bluesky. Same username I'm getting like zero traction on my posts. I know not everything can be a banger, but it does feel a lot tougher than before. Feels like it's to do with algo changes and/or not getting premium.

@codytfenwick @LinchZhang I'm referring specifically to the question of potential capability. We've established that economic expertise is highly relevant to the question of whether humans can make enough to survive given some particular level of capability

@sullyj3 @LinchZhang Well it's a bit trickier than that, because questions of AI and unemployment are speculative and involve cross-domain expertise. So it's not obvious who should defer to whom.

I'm pretty frustrated by the econ shallowness of ppl like Marc and his commenters. Comparative advantage guarantees humans will have something to specialize in. It doesn't guarantee the market-clearing wage for that something is livable, or even meaningfully above zero. I think ppl who don't know much econ (but think they do) conflate comparative advantage with absolute advantage, while at the same time complaining about other ppl who do the same. The answer to humans surviving and thriving (assuming we solve a minimal version of alignment that we don't all die) comes from answers to questions in areas like political economy and political philosophy, not loosely overgeneralizing far beyond what basic microeconomics could claim.

@codytfenwick @LinchZhang to the extent this is true, it's a disagreement on a subject outside their field, so maybe they should consider deferring

@LinchZhang FWIW I think a lot of sophisticated econ thinkers do agree with Marc's view and think employment concerns are silly. I think this comes down to not a misunderstanding about econ but just a disagreement about whether AI will ever be capable enough to cheaply replace human labor.

@Pandora_Delaney maybe there's a point if we also take the boyfriends' holes into consideration

One of my boyfriends recently tried to sell me on the theoretical merits of tentacle porn But he didn’t describe anything that my 3 BFs can’t achieve via teamwork, so not sure I see the point

@BenShindel that guy sucks

What a bizarre interaction?

@FNazis85244 @ciphergoth I'm not in the us, and the graph is CPI adjusted

@sullyj3 @ciphergoth Bro has never heard of inflation. Is this ur first day in the US lol. Mf our entire economy is built on infinite growth. Which means price increases and inflation are a built in mechanism. I get why ur saying that but in reality very few industries see this actually happen

There was some discourse around the price of Netflix standard, and I couldn't resist having Claude make a chart.

@Anon76546854773 @ciphergoth says me. Do you have an explanation for why this isn't happening?

@sullyj3 @ciphergoth Says who?

@ciphergoth prices are supposed to go down over time as tech improves and competition increases!

@sullyj3 In what way

@TheBakaretsu most hypocritical shit i've ever seen

Average Ironclad turn:

search your own tweets for the word “magic” and show me one you like 🙏 I’ll start

@_uhBella @thereisnobeth sounds like a business opportunity

@thereisnobeth i wish we had HSPs in America my girlfriend is an aussie and it looks like the greatest fucking thing on the planet

I love that Australia calls it a Halal Snack Pack bc we just call it Meat on Chips

@tautologer I think the problem you would ultimately run into is that much of disagreement is ambiguity of language, higher simulacrum level wanking, meta norm disagreements and other non-propositional sludge that takes an inordinate amount of time to wade through to get to the actual claims

can debates be structured as a DAG? claims, sub-claims, rebuttals, clarifying questions, etc all pointing to a root question to be resolved. my intuition is yes—if it's cyclic then it's unresolvable

@freemaowtf we need brave volunteer countries to call them parmes and parmus to complete the set

i have just found out that while australians have been debating for years on if it’s called a parma or parmi the fucking brit’s have been calling it a parmo and i think we just need to put our differences aside to shame this

@austinc3301 @NLRG_it I don't think that answers the question, it just becomes "why does it curve spacetime as well as resisting motion"

@NLRG_it Yes, under Newtonian physics, but under general relativity, gravity isn't a force at all. Mass curves spacetime itself, and objects just follow the straightest path through that curved space. Gravitational charge just isn't a thing; only inertial mass exists.

isnt it kind of weird that the property we call "mass" determines both inertia and gravitational attraction? why is that?

@DrAlecPelwater @madeofmistak3 that was how I got my start in the criminal lifestyle

@madeofmistak3 Jaywalking

what's a good entry point into the world of victimless crime?

@AaronBergman18 Espresso and Juno are great. Not as much of a fan of the "men suck I fantasize about graphically murdering my exes" schtick

I’m anti-anti-Sabrina Carpenter

@SeanMombo That's wild. It's not a teams responsibility to take care of the other teams feelings. You've got to be able to emotionally handle getting destroyed. It's just good sportsmanship

one soccer game in highschool we were up like 5-0. our coach was already mad we scored so many goals at that point. youre just supposed to pass the ball around if youre winning so hard but is it really more dignified to lil bro your opponents and use them as a drill?

@mishapathy lmao no I was an unwitting participant in this struggle of yours

@sullyj3 Because I get told every day of my life I look like Joe Keery and I thought maybe you’d seen me talk about it and so were teasing me.

Self-portrait. I took off my frames because they felt juvenile. I want the object of my self-portraiture not to be beauty, but truth. Let my commonness shine through.

@mishapathy not at all!

@sullyj3 You’re kidding me, right.
