@tszzl — page 21/103

@jachaseyoung GPT-3 on the other end summarizing and filtering emails :)

@jachaseyoung note: I’m mostly joking. I think offloading this much cognition to the AI overlords is a bad plan

@AOCummies DR

@AOCummies this can’t be real

@AOCummies im sleep deprived af so i was 50/50 lol

@p1nkpr1ncesa @AOCummies betrayal

listening to a school district superintendent on the radio saying that kids are undergoing "damage to their physical and emotional health" because they can't go to school buddy they escaped the damage

@LiberHomo1 kids meet other kids outside of school ya know

@LiberHomo1 shouldn’t assume the worst of parents — they’re far more concerned about their kids than we are

@antirobust true, but I’m guessing for a majority home life > school life

@OthersideAI @jachaseyoung amazing, thanks for the quick iteration

the funniest discourse on here is “lol GPT‘s poetry is mediocre normie writing” mfer a robot is writing poetry and you’re mad it’s not Robert Frost

@jachaseyoung i was moved to tears by the process of co-writing with the robot. just one of those life affirming moments that makes you happy to be alive & see the steady heartbeat of technological progress

@jachaseyoung but i wouldn't say the story itself was what made me emotional. I'm still waiting for the day I read something tremendously moving, only later to learn it was written by a robot!

@jachaseyoung I'd be willing to bet that there are people who are working on GPT-3 detection systems at the very moment. The robot likely has some subtle tells that only become clear on lengthy text generations. Maybe GPT-3 itself can be repurposed to identify what it has written!

@mattparlmer while i would love this i don't think it would be a good idea for them they'd likely alienate some of their employees and anger whatever politicians they've bought out

@jachaseyoung I’ve read some scifi stories where AI outputs are required by law to be labeled as such seems not far off tbh

@bryancsk @jachaseyoung As in, a bot with a Facebook profile messages you and fb would be required by law to label it as a known AI definitely becomes more ambiguous for snippets of text and random images generated and spread about the internet

@bryancsk @jachaseyoung you can imagine AI sexbots catfishing people at scale

@jachaseyoung oh definitely it would really be up to the tech companies and their willingness to interpret vague laws in benevolent ways

counterpoint: u will never convince me to get on a bus voluntarily https://x.com/CNLiberalism/status/1285983186758115334

@jachaseyoung 😂😂😂 And you also have to factor in that they’re the ones that are most likely to own the largest AI minds in the world, so you’d have to be convincing them to make their own AIs less powerful via detection systems

@Westphalite you can do that anyway with a smol little app on your phone

@maxdunat @Westphalite uber is incredibly cheap in big cities in many cases you find that it costs only marginally less to take the bus than uber

@maxdunat @Westphalite also the "elon musk vision" for the future is self driving all electric robotaxis i.e. incredibly cheap, you could probably slash uber prices by 10x if it happens

@jerrrrryyy_ @maxdunat @Westphalite uberpool especially in san francisco was a goddamn miracle could not even imagine taking the bus when the prices were so low but yeah i don't know what it's gonna be like from now onward

@maxdunat @Westphalite take the tunnel pill max

@ProfitProfound @maxdunat @Westphalite we're the goddamn richest country in the world a little infrastructure investment is not gonna stop us from taking autonomous cars to work

@maxdunat @ProfitProfound @Westphalite busriders coping everyone knows the car experience is objectively better

@donuts4hair I’ve rode the public buses in India my guy nothing can scare me

kinda suspicious of all of u at the moment

@AOCummies God fucking dammit

@AOCummies Especially devious of u to accuse ME of being a bot. Insane gaslighting

@replicaofself lmao i would rt this if i could

@_vivalapanda my host?

@_vivalapanda is this GPT?

@_vivalapanda i recommend just removing the metadata and just signing it off as - @tszzl or something similar works better this way, for the tweet GPTs that ive tried

@man_ditch wtf

@GmorkOfNothing @hobbsure1 possibly both

@AOCummies same im still fucking grinding 🤡

@mattparlmer @ejenk fully automated space militarism when

trying to make an impact on social inequities becomes more hopeless by the day. this is a 100% tapped out market. the low hanging fruit have been competed away by a million pseudo radicalized PMCs

you might as well focus your efforts back on making money :)

@gbrl_dick @its101191514 secular stagnation

@its101191514 witch twitter has only a surface level understanding of runic hexes and must study the deeper mysteries

@micsolana @zebulgar @GeffenAvraham @PalmerLuckey

when people talk over each other in real life you can still understand both voices if they're coming from sufficiently different directions much harder in zoom

@AOCummies feel like they could do this better like play one person in left ear and the other in right ear

@NKel26 space Karen = Krystal

@JustJoshinYou13 Krystal needs to bring that energy to banning streetlights

@fezcool1 1) spaceX is paying an inordinate amount of attention to lowering the albedo of these satellites 2) you can edit fast moving objects out v easily even with civilian software 3) you really can't see this with unaided eye, it's only pollution to like 10 amateur astronomers

@fezcool1 ah i see one step at a time my dude :) there's no reason to think we can't eventually clean up earth orbit

@browserdotsys if i saw this coming at me i'd take the cyanide pill, all hope is lost

@forbca @NicolasDVillar1 you shouldn’t be unquestioningly following the tree dogma there are many many tree based models that ultimately don’t perform anywhere as good as this one

@forbca @NicolasDVillar1 Chomsky is a smart dude but lots of his ideas have not panned out over the years There are tribes without “universal grammar”

@forbca @NicolasDVillar1 A 3 year old is trained on 5 billion years of parallel evolution

@forbca @NicolasDVillar1 OpenAI is doing it quite a bit more efficiently all things considered

@forbca @NicolasDVillar1 a genetic algorithm is a numerical optimization like any other. It’s much slower than gradient descent, but also less likely to get stuck in suboptimal minimums. You are right in that the real world optimized for survival, whereas openAI optimizes for prompt completion

@forbca @NicolasDVillar1 but what do we know about the space of cognitive architectures? It could be that many objective functions could lead to intelligence, though some will be of a very alien kind

@DukakisDude they’re all mediocre

@antirobust although I suspect yimbys just have different aesthetic taste to nimbys

@aquariusacquah sufficiently good criticism of capitalism inevitably turns into a consumption product

@ProfitProfound @Brrrrrpp terrible mistake

@ProfitProfound @Brrrrrpp im just going through the motions of making a "programming sux" joke but my heart's not in it

@AOCummies wtf u mean bitch u arent Renaissance Joe Rogan?

@alth0u the picture is fake but i agree w the sentiment

ok i approve of UFO conspiracy mongering as an appreciator of high concept nonsense but there are very satisfactory non-ET explanations for all of these recordings and its kinda sus that nytimes is whitewashing random UFO grifters https://x.com/jonshorman/status/1286479468475949058

@AOCummies thanks babe. the feelings mutual :)

@shill_globalist @AOCummies drew has been saying i'm a bot trained to optimally poast since we first met

@shill_globalist @AOCummies

@ZeframM yeah this is doubly ironic because this person actually edited those lines ONTO the photo lol

@aquariusacquah @alth0u dude invented a whole subplot where his wife ran off with his kid lol, its definitely like late stage colbert

@aquariusacquah @alth0u hes at the very edge of irony thats for sure but anyway what he says in the video is basically a median right wing opinion so i dont really think hes joking

@malnote Just did earlier tn 💅

@DukakisDude Too inbred to feel emotion :(

@AOCummies Yang Elon and Joe Rogan form the Reddit axis of American politics

smh @ everyone who larps at being urban professionals by setting up "coffee chats" for every asinine thing. bitch just DM me

although tbqh in the year of our lord 2020 id kill for a coffee chat

@_Jason_Dean_ ok fair enough

@Westphalite this is based

@AOCummies "coffee chug"

@jeff82874662 for you jeff, i'll go to blue bottle and buy the coffee at whatever price they name

@AOCummies ,,,, is like a less lame version of the reddit thing where people say "/s" after being sarcastic

anyone else tryna give up, wash out, have some kids, hope they're smarter and better than you, and then force all your old ambitions onto them

@AOCummies best thing is making woman who are mad at you laugh even though they don't want to ... thats power

@Noahpinion should note that the american company AMD is doing great

@Noahpinion and NVIDIA has a pretty deep moat when it comes to datacenter grade GPUs

@Noahpinion definitely don't know about the questions of capacity but AMD uses GlobalFoundries, which seems to mostly locate in singapore and US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlobalFoundries

@RIPAOCummies No way link it bro

exposure is a bit too long but there’s the comet!

and wow ... what’s this ... no star link satellite array ruining the view ... almost like ppl were making that shit up ...

@tjfootyhoyt i got two questions: (1) can't stuff moving this fast be edited out? we've dealt with satellites of all kinds from the ground right? including ISS, which is many times brighter than the starlinks (2) isn't ground based imaging sort of useless anyway?

@Randylad the former is regulated and the latter is not

@Randylad in general the US biopharma industry is in terminal decline whereas the software companies only get more powerful One reason why I’m bullish on AI and bearish on genetics

@Randylad Also, human genome project was completed in early 2000s and we still have nothing to show for it 20 years later. Wouldn’t be surprising if we had to wait another 20 years for profess

@Randylad Otoh we “discovered” deep learning like 10 years ago and ratcheted up to uncannily human robots in just 10 years I hear what you’re saying about genetic tourism tho. Hopefully China or Japan pull through (but I’m not hopeful)

there are many friendships that are better online than offline

@AOCummies imo meeting the twitter mufos is different, because mostly we don’t live close to each other so it’s just a once in a while thing

@money_maschine agreed

so the West really is about to fall over huh https://t.co/5Q9VCog7kE

@billpshort I can see why y’all are reading the tweet that way but what I really meant is quarantine forcing some of my offline friendships online and making them better

@MiloJKing 21st century corporations with their unrespectable, twee names have collapsed the neoliberal order :(

@Randylad I have met many a highly autistic sociopath

@sonyasupposedly left radicalism is clearly not much more than a signaling opportunity for the elite and i don’t know whether that should make me hopeful or depressed

@sonyasupposedly the most impactful thing this girl could do is use her connections at Exxon and elsewhere to become rich and leverage that to move the world in whatever direction she pleases. ofc she’s not going to try any of that because it won’t look good from a signaling perspective

poggers is a racial epithet for PAWGs

@MiloJKing @AOCummies wish the feed algorithm would get the picture if i'm served a lot of posts from someone and i'm not interacting with them

@AOCummies the gamers elected donald trump

@ahardtospell how does twitter know ...

everything that happens inside facebook or google is instantly known to the whole world zuck has changed his Q&A style to that of a press conference

i've always been ideologically against Apple's reflexive love of privacy and operating on need to know bases but I'm starting to get the appeal

@sonyasupposedly @devarbol @browserdotsys

"According to a former PM, DARPA avoids hiring people with a significant web presence. In the 21st century, that’s remarkable and specific enough that it is worth digging into. People with a strong web presence tend to be focused on playing status games" mother fuck

@Hellachans definitely realized that i wouldn't be an ideal candidate for a government research program but not that they would accurately call me status seeking

@jachaseyoung very true but there is something to be said about DARPA's long history of success validating their worldview

@AOCummies oh good i thought i was the only one who does this

Staring at my drafts, figuring out how to turn each Take into a joke

nobody can do this better than @aquariusacquah and the dearly missed @powerbottomdad1

@ricardo91512858 @aquariusacquah @powerbottomdad1 lmao we won’t reveal ur secret

@NicholasElodeon based

@NicholasElodeon damn thats fucked up

gonna overconfidently claim that it's very unlikely there's a highly advanced civilization that inhabits our galaxy

creatures evolved by biological selection seem to uniformly possess an acquisitive urge. they want to bring more territory and resources under control, whatever that means to them. I find it unlikely that they're following any sort of "prime directive"

at the very least the galaxy should be littered with von Neumann probes

@jamescartermin1 dark matter 🤡

@PrecariousPhoto we're only like 10k years into civilization, give it some time. once we got a taste of space, we're not going back

@RIPAOCummies i mean more advanced than us Type >1

@jamescartermin1 yeah im just shitposting. you're right, we just wouldn't know unless we could detect gravitational interactions

@RIPAOCummies @jamescartermin1 the point isn't just to capture energy, but create livable surface

@PrecariousPhoto yeah, that's entirely possible. but the end result is what i said above; there are no highly advanced civs

@jamescartermin1 @RIPAOCummies ^ yeah i mean why do all the work of fusioning when the sun is doing it anyways

@RIPAOCummies @jamescartermin1 the amount of deuterium on earth and mars is many orders of magnitude smaller than what an advanced civ might need we'll probably strip mine jupiter and saturn of hydrogen and at that point finally construct the dyson swarm

@RIPAOCummies @jamescartermin1 ungodly? you could put the dyson swarm incredibly close to the sun

@RIPAOCummies @jamescartermin1 v bold claim to make that were going to peak out at 10B. For example, something like womb tanks could change the game. Anyway, the luxury demands of civilization grow on a per person basis faster than the power efficiency gains on a per luxury basis

learning theorycucks seething

@jeff82874662 have not

@DukakisDude @Senator_Naz this is the hopeful interpretation as it puts the great filter behind us :) im equally divided between 2 takes #1 that all civilized species just upload themselves to a digital heaven or #2 its all an Earthlocal simulation (and possibly this is the equivalent to #1)

@aquariusacquah ML twitter will finally cancel me if i do this

@ricardo91512858 @aquariusacquah someone who's in the danger zone of being somewhat smart

@jerrrrryyy_ except its never .001 is it

@jerrrrryyy_ it's definitely not too inaccurate to be useful, and we are absolutely going to go to trillions of parameters lol in the meantime, we're all going to work on infra solutions to let this stuff run even more efficiently

@doncicthegoat few know this

had a dream last night in which Kendi was a major villain. This website has broken me

@2Jeff20 wise policy

most wealthy people believe we live in a doomed world. that’s why they don’t reproduce at replacement rate

@AOCummies that’s cuz ur bio is actually good

@NeoLibBen all reduces to the same thing tbh

@_vivalapanda secular worldview that doesn’t value human life tbqh

the fact that we aren’t building multiple Jurassic Parks rn is a damning indictment of our stagnant civilization

@provinghuman @RIPAOCummies @aquariusacquah I hate following tszzl

@alth0u @karpathy you can optimize bpe arithmetic by just spacing out the numbers 1 2 3 4 + 3 1 2 5, etc, it’s still not great

@ChrisExpTheNews glad someone noticed 😌

@aquariusacquah based lds got to it first

having access to every viewpoint at once is caustic

people with High Openness discover the internet early on and become quickly addicted to finding new ideas and worldviews. Several ideological heel turns later they find themselves worn out and nihilistic

really all of us are undergoing a slow motion version of “Things Fall Apart”

of course growing up with a single narrative can be caustic in its own way but people underestimate the moral whiplash of globalism

@alth0u Yup exactly. It turns out the objective function itself is learned culturally, leading us into strange regions of the phase space

modern “public intellectuals” always have a sound bite thesis for what the s&p is doing and why

@jdcmedlock @pseudocia actual hellworld

@Hellachans @what_ntarnation dammit dude I said I was sorry

@NicholasElodeon same feeling about Instagram stories

@AOCummies @browserdotsys where else would you have AA meetings tf

@discourseloverr only what’s enforced by my morning meetings and I even end up missing those half the time lol

@NicolasDVillar1 @aquariusacquah you had cloud communists, now you have machine learning Marxist Leninists

Onboard with the guillotine folks now as it seems that I have purchased $200 in kindle books that I haven’t even opened in the past 6 months. Jeff Bezos must get the blade

so do I do work today or watch congress idiots grill big tech with ill formed inquiries

@JacksonKernion kinda silly on (2), as costco, walmart, sam's club etc have been doing all the exact same stuff for decades "commoditize the complement"

why do these sound like investor pitch decks

zuck is spitting straight fire

@mmkplusultra lol it would appear i value very highly the decrease in number of steps to get a book on my iphone

How many youtube views on AOC's contrived takedown of some tech CEO by tomorrow night

@PereGrimmer @eigenrobot the majority of her questions are like this still cringing at her asking zuck how many "data categories" they store on each user

it's very true that Google as a gatekeeper does a great job "commoditizing the complement". But the fact of the matter is that every sane customer would rather see restaurant reviews after one google search rather than (1)google search -> (2)clicking on yelp

very sympathetic to the congressman asking why FB is taking down claims about HCQ. Zuck says its not "proven" -- and we've now found ourselves in an epistemic hellhole

@BarneyFlames @jerrrrryyy_ explainability is a meme, yeah

@BarneyFlames @jerrrrryyy_ nobody can tell what the boosted forests are doing either

@jbuhl35 @ahardtospell not so much of a burn as stating a fact that he doesn’t run an internet company

@Randylad gene therapies :)

@Randylad net energy fusion, "quantum supremacy", thorium salt reactors

@Randylad and the most elusive of all, stable app frameworks that work natively across android and ios

@RotemEren @Randylad yeah in a strict academic sense quantum supremacy is here, but folks have been saying for 25 years that it's about to upend encryption, ciphers, etc and i have not seen any indication that that's happening

@ne0agent1c writein choice: wire all their money to me

@RotemEren @Randylad hmm ok. i'll look into this more deeply. honestly i've always thought quantum computing was a pursuit of pure autistry and havent looked into it very deeply

@RotemEren @Randylad my understanding was that google demonstrated a speedup of a super contrived problem in ideal settings but i could definitely see it being more than that when scaled up

@Randylad @RotemEren interesting, could you link paper on this?

@RotemEren @Randylad yeah Shor's algorithm and such. i've known about these but thought the scaling up part was dubious

@ne0agent1c this is why i'm skeptical when people say GPT doesn't understand what it's doing. bitch, YOU don't understand what you're doing. your sense of self is vague and evolved for instrumental social reasoning purposes, not for ground truth meta cognition

@browserdotsys @ne0agent1c epistemically blackpilled now thanks bowser

@rudeloux @ne0agent1c we ascribe intent to everything. once a computer system becomes complicated enough, we'll start talking about why "it did this" or why it "behaved this way" and stuff like that.

@rudeloux @ne0agent1c the same is true for all complex systems actually, but even more pronounced feeling with computers as they work with information, a substrate previously only manipulable by living minds

@rudeloux @ne0agent1c does a collective ant colony act with intent? does a country act with intent? do my cells act with intent? the line is hard to draw

@Randylad seriously skeptical of changes like this tbqh. “neurodiversity” is something of a meme but there are very good arguments that ADHD, autism, etc are power ups to certain people

@Randylad not to mention it would stretch my credibility to the breaking point to claim that we are going to be capable of understanding complex systems like genetics and their effects on traits and stuff like that

@Randylad im almost always on team emergent selection vs intelligent design so you can understand my skepticism

@Randylad I don’t doubt we’ll have simple changes ready soon enough but the more complex ones? Idk

nobody is talking about the egirl to libertarian pipeline

@Westphalite I don’t know I’m just shitposting

@AllanGSteele yup

always absolutely freaked out when facebook suggests me some twitter mutuals as friends

@VectorOfBasis theres no data sharing between facebook and twitter, so just leave it up to ML mysticism

@VectorOfBasis competitors would rather not share data if they can avoid it. and yeah it's all about the revealed preferences

@ricardo91512858 yeah if you've imported your phone book into any of their apps thats how they get ya

if u genuinely feel the need to downplay and politicize genuine scientific advancements without contributing any special insights please consult ur doctor, u may be an ideology zombie urself

there's a whole set of folks on here who will sit with their hands on their ears screaming loudly the day AGI arrives, not because they can't understand these advancements but bc they cannot grapple with the fact that people & institutions they dislike invented it

90% of the mind flaying cognitive dissonance surrounding elon musk and his companies can be explained this way as well btw

@alth0u ya ... iirc someone trained a pretty convincing GPT-3 on her ...

@browserdotsys @ProfitProfound i did it out of self interest, but i like your charitable explanation better

@ProfitProfound ya i long ago blocked her but nonetheless twitter will put QTs of her onto my feed

@devarbol honestly i'm just mad at the pervasive overconfidence in people's ideas about intelligence. the GALL to claim that you have a solid demarcation between "language model" and "mind". haven't much stopped to think about the viable application areas, of which i'm sure there are many

@Britonomist @AOCummies lmao

@devarbol yeah this is a fascinating one however i'm not sure if i buy moravec's reasoning. it's hard to train robots for real world sensorimotor tasks bc the data is so EXPENSIVE. but the bots function fabulously in simulated worlds i.e games

@ProfitProfound E X C E P T I O N A L I S M

@MaxGurewitz @ChrisCroy @The_Albatross yup haha that's why i say "outside of crypto" crypto has all kinds of real use cases for every imaginable black market

@ResonantPyre so? These are competing faiths

@flevestanagan I mean proof of work based digital fiat tokens in the vein of Zcash, monero, bitcoin etc. I’m also counting stable coins.

@flevestanagan If you have a use case for digital tokens outside of simply trading usd->bitcoin->drugs then I’ll consider my bet lost

@flevestanagan yeah, have there been any interesting ICOs? doesn't seem like it

@flevestanagan @bountium don't get me wrong, i hope you guys succeed and prove me wrong. i would much rather that something i think is vaporware turns out to be real tech

@flevestanagan @bountium it seems that the ethereum people took the awesome power of Solidity and mostly made stupid shit like CryptoKitties on it, which kind of makes me sus of the potential usecases of smart contracts

@aquariusacquah wait what happened

@aquariusacquah LMAO

@aquariusacquah the UberEats gift card is really priceless. You can’t make this shit up

@webdevMason that’s not really why he got slammed tho

@hamandcheese its a good point but i would say there is an evolutionary process taking place among neural architectures -- researchers coalesce around archs that perform well on public benchmark challenges to modify and branch

@hamandcheese and yes, as you mention, there is not really a fine line between evolutionary learning and lifetime learning. train for long enough and you can rediscover the inductive biases placed in our brains by evolution

@hamandcheese but your own example demonstrates that the *same methods* scaled up create the brand new phenomenon of "few shot lifetime learning". Tasks that were previously assailable only by fine-tuning (modifying parameters) GPT-2 become accessible in the "lifetime" of GPT-3

@hamandcheese also @gwern has a beautiful meditation here (https://www.gwern.net/Backstop) on the connection between evolution and lifetime learning and also the nature of businesses both learning from and being selected by markets

@hamandcheese yeah I think we're in agreement there. obviously, much of the language learning process in humans has already been "checkpointed" by evolution and we do the last bit ourselves

@hamandcheese i think the surprising result that i'm commenting on is that training generic blank slate models on gigantic datasets can retrace the work done both by evolution and also the learning contained in human lifetimes. there's nothing "special" about the boundary

@hamandcheese yeah, was wondering the same thing. it seems a shame to "start over" for every training run

@chaosprime gotta say I read this three times, still don’t understand

@GreySmithereens @chaosprime it seems there’s many decades of backlog for me to read, don’t need any of the new stuff

@Randylad I think everybody here thinks of themselves as normie/aspie crossover but is really just normie irl

@nosilverv no doubt that the OT implies polytheism. If you read Genesis, god is clearly talking to beings like himself, although it’s usually explained away as angels. The historical reason is that the Yahweh cult clearly broke off from a larger pantheon including El Elyon, Baal, etc

finished rereading dune, gonna actually go through the sequels this time. The first one doesn’t really capture what Herbert wanted to say about not trusting the Hero imo

@hebrewnonsense the jihad becomes a positive thing at the end of the book, a manifestation of the human race consciousness bringing new life to a stagnant civilization

@UnhWut lol, care to elaborate?

@JBFalke @UnhWut yeah that was my plan

@UnhWut AHHHH

@UnhWut how is he even still alive?? i thought it was many millenia after the events of dune

@UnhWut dw i dont care very much about spoilers

machine learning is postmodern. it's an admission that we mostly can't figure out the principles behind many phenomena and ask the machine to come up with some good heuristics instead

the modernists were convinced we could explain to a computer in perfect terms what a cat is or how the world works thus the transition from SHRDLU to GPT

@neolibureaucrat wdym

the machine minds themselves are built on the hayekian principle, but they are put to use for marxist ends

@jeff82874662 nah but ive seen it used every which way so im taking their lead

@jstalnaker1 @gwern true, but it's a separate question

@MiloJKing just a ploy to justify the prices imo. then 2 weeks in when they have a massive cluster of cases they just close again

@MiloJKing 90% of classes are already online so i doubt it changes anybody's decision

@MiloJKing my sister atm is trying to decide whether to go in person or study from home

oh you know the Atlas holding up the sky situation where we underwrite the entire world's pharma R&D https://x.com/humford/status/1291108902256496640

@kpopobama very true

btw the manufacturer in question (Gilead) is responsible for developing the antiviral that renders HIV into one of those diseases only the ancients used to worry about

gonna adapt the extremism of OP's thinking and claim that any legislation that lowers the already extremely low ROI of biopharma research is indefensible

@ChrisCroy not even opposed to hearing out ideas of this sort, bernie had some good proposals in this vein https://www.vox.com/2015/9/25/9397069/bernie-sanders-drug-prices

@ChrisCroy haven't thought this one all the way through but the technocrat wet dream is if the gov can set aside a budget to buy some key patents at market price and set the manufacture of the drug free. unfortunately the gov being a buyer in the patent market will warp it in strange ways

@ChrisCroy just ... amazing

@jdcmedlock @alth0u my thinking on this is that we've reached diminishing returns on the current research paradigm of small molecule drugs. most of the hot new pharmaceuticals are biologics or genetics, but big pharma is not very good at developing these as opposed to boutique shops like gilead

@jdcmedlock @alth0u maybe subsidies are the answer here, but if my understanding is correct then they'll simply exacerbate the problem and allow these unfit companies to suck up more resources towards inefficient research pathways

@jdcmedlock @alth0u i'm kind of looking forward to a big pharma holocaust b.c. i don't think these companies will be the ones to pour enormous resources into risky new research pathways.

@jdcmedlock @alth0u i think much of the reason they've ratcheted up the rent seeking and marketing in recent years is b.c. they've run out of R&D ideas. the greatest upside of something radical like m4a would be to smash these companies to pieces and start over

@jdcmedlock @alth0u (assuming of course, that there is still a research/profit motive left to start over with)

@ChrisCroy @jdcmedlock @alth0u research is fickle beast. often times, money isn't the limiting factor to scientific advancements. i'm not sure how I feel about laying 60-70% of the world's biopharma R&D budget on a single institution that may or may not have the capability to do this job well

@natal_female @alth0u @jdcmedlock the year is 20xx. all scientific progress in pharmaceutical science has ceased. now the entire r&d budget goes toward placebo engineering, where researchers come up with increasingly mind blowing advertisements

@NeerajKA some of the street level craftswork could be sold at 100-1000x the buy price in the US if you know your marketing

@aquariusacquah @xuhulk you right tho, i don't think the usual suspects are reasoning through the precedent this sets

@aquariusacquah @xuhulk honestly i was mostly just thinking about the fact that it would be great for my rsus lol but lots of ppl have been making good points about how this legitimizes "banning social media company" as a Move in geopolitics and thats not good

@aquariusacquah lol goddammit I’m on the exact borderline now. gonna need a helluva rebuttal

@aquariusacquah worst thing is, reviewer 1 is right about everything

@browserdotsys @aquariusacquah in that case I’ll just pray for good luck and a plentiful harvest

@ProfitProfound the EU at large will not but I wont be surprised if some of the member states tipping towards the Chinese sphere of influence start doing so

@ProfitProfound Greece

@shill_globalist @ProfitProfound I hope ur right

all political cultures that survive the next 20~ years will develop cultural antibodies to the changes in information diet brought about by the internet i suspect many of them will just accept as common wisdom that nothing read online is to be believed

i have some friends who are so manic every single day in their enthusiasm for life that they look like i do after 30 mgs of adderall

the cost curve of experimental physics is pretty staggering in 1919 Eddington led a simple expedition to see an eclipse and took several pictures to confirm the general theory of relativity in 2013 the 5 billion dollar LHC employing 2000 physicists confirmed the Higgs boson
