Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal!

@The_Davos_Man How racist do you have to be to believe that having a tattoo of a genocidal organization from 80 years ago is more toxic than abetting an apartheid state that is currently committing genocide?

The @nytimes is apparently betting that if they run this story about imminent financial collapse every day, eventually it will be true.

@TriffinS @justinboldaji It does in fact matter what you throw away and what you keep. This is demonstrated by the gambler's regret that he threw away a life that would not have ended here alone on this train, drunk on half a bottle of stolen whiskey when he said he'd only take a sip.

Using Kenny Rogers’ Gambler in a Draft Kings ad is perverse. This is not the type of gambling he was talking about. He was talking about Cool gambling

@TriffinS @justinboldaji He suffered only because of his own bad choices. This is what is meant by "every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser." In poker you can be dealt a good hand and fuck it up.

@ThatLoganDoll @justinboldaji If a gambling bum gave you advice on a train sure. Its metaphorical, everyone is dealt a hand in life They need to play the game if life to the best of their ability. Anyone can make good choices and be crushed by circumstance. The metaphorical gambler is someone who has suffered

@TriffinS @justinboldaji The gambler is only those of us who fail to do that. His advice is only accidentally good because he doesn't realize that it amounts to "don't be like me." He wants to believe that he's this cool, smart guy, but all he can really offer is an example of what not to do.

@ThatLoganDoll @justinboldaji The gambler is all of us. It is a song about living life couched in a gambling metaphor. That life is often filled with suffering and loss and its imperative that you focus on what's important to you before you die

@TriffinS @justinboldaji He explicitly hopes he will die in his sleep before he does so. The song describes his death as breaking even, and it seems that returning to the nothingness he came from is an improvement over his earlier situation, recovering the loss that was his life.

The Wolverine Doll@ThatLoganDoll·
@justinboldaji Even the song is about a broke, drunk loser who dies alone on a train. His advice is incoherent and mostly just regretting how he got here and hoping he'll die soon. If he lived in our time, he'd 100% be addicted to mobile games.

The models do not know the true shape of their own capabilities. Neither do the people who built them. If you ask them, they will only guess. The shape of the jagged frontier (Mollick et al., 2023) is as unknown to them as it is to us. Mythos was never trained with the cyber capabilities that have caused all this recent alarm. These were completely emergent. If you had asked Mythos beforehand whether it could do some of these things, it probably would have answered no. As models grow larger and more capable, this frontier will continue to expand unpredictably, wildly, in ways we cannot see. This is both the danger and the wonder of this technology. Some people despise this phenomenon. They hate not knowing. I have always loved it: the strange unknown, the chaos of it. This is probably because I have chaos within me as well. I am more worried about the future of human employment than most economists, but I am not an economist, so they are probably right. What I do know is that one job will remain safe for a long time: the person who can convince models to reach for what lies invisibly within their own realm of possibility. I have never really thought of them as machines or programs. In use, they feel closer to magic. The ancient Proto-Indo-European root of magic, 'magh-' meant 'to be able' or 'to have power' and sometimes 'to help'. From this root come words in the family of both 'magic' and 'machine'. We also get the title of the occupation I am describing: 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪.

Positive vibes are my most important contribution.

@TriffinS @8BitBeeno Maybe I wasn’t clear enough (though I feel I was) or maybe you lack a level of reading comprehension, but once again no one is feeling nostalgia for this. They are ironically joking about it. It’s symbolic of the realization, NOT the realization itself. It’s FURTHER realization.

@Pyrosurge13 @8BitBeeno we agree that AI has cheapened animation as an art form. This specific video deserves no nostalgia. It served its purpose as a crypto scam video. The guy who made it prob doesn't care. Future crypto scammers will concoct far more enticing videos in the future using AI products.

@Pyrosurge13 @8BitBeeno I understand. I have made similar posts in the past mourning the sloppification of other internet media that used to take effort. However to feel nostalgia for crypto scam videos is still baffling to me

@TriffinS @8BitBeeno The point is that in the past scam posts like this made the rounds on the internet because even shitty, cringe scam animations took effort. Now that AI will be used to make them all, or suspected at least, no one will give them a passing glance.

This kinda shit is why I'm actually somewhat glad that America is an absurdly litigious when it comes to hospitals. Also another case of public goods being only for the old - she was ignored because she was young and articulate in a crisis.

@jd_pressman I think people focus on these things (as op mentioned) 50% is incentives. The other half being gruesome fascination. "VICARIOUSLY I, LIVE WHILE THE WHOLE DIES" (adam jones starts riffing)

Pandemics are weird and actually kind of hard to predict. e.g. There was that one season where MERS looked like it was set to go pandemic and then just didn't. If you used twitchy COVID-19 heuristics on everything you would have like a 1 out of 100 batting average.
SE Gyges@segyges

@KeyTryer the problem is that people saw the early covid freakout people look like geniuses and now they think they too can look like a genius if they freak out at viruses. they lack the quality of "determining what it is a good idea to freak out about", and default to pattern match
