@tszzl — page 74/103

the year is 2358. headlines are still saying that UST is about to depeg any day now. the heirs of SBF rein over humanity with complete power due to centuries of rewards from perpetuals trading fees

@jeff82874662 you’re not being fair dawg all the centers of cultural production are overwhelmingly secular and even if you say the culture sucks now my op is still true — there is much excellence and profundity being produced by the godless

Nvm it’s over

ngl I thought UST and USDT were the same thing

@Based_Titan ok correct i meant more like "secularism"

@emnode to me, the landing of several rockets in concert can't be described as anything other than sublime. the experience of the internet as well

what r some movies that consistently make you cry for me its gotta be children of men cloud atlas end of evangelion i think the common theme is that there have to be very strong pro-anthropic and mildly spiritual overtones

@GSVBemusementPk @gonzalo__nunez yeah seems very uninspiring to me

@houellebecq_2 no its a completely unironic shitlib movie but it struck me for reasons i cant explain

@Jamesthesnake based

@bryancsk wow very east asian answer

@Noahpinion wait this is a movie? i cant find it

@nickcammarata yeah thats actually what prompted this everyone who went with me to that was extremely emotionally moved and i personally wasn't

@houellebecq_2 yeah a lot about the production is incredibly amateurish but for some reason this doesnt detract for me

@houellebecq_2 its really weird divisive this movie is. it's one of ebert's 4/4s before he died

@nickcammarata no clue i mean i thought it was a good movie but it didn't hit me like that

@worldrotator not sure how to explain

@aiyappa__ true! but still materialist/ secular

@futchlocker its basically both of those yeah

@houellebecq_2 @hamandcheese https://x.com/red_allin/status/1523818653287739392?s=20&t=4DrZzN7ZzXl5KwwSxza7Mg

@thinkhuman21 lol this is the only reply i don't understand at all i thought that movie was schlock

@jeff82874662 i think you're not at all reading the fact that i'm directly responding to a guy making a dumb claim that you obviously disagree with too as an atheist -- that all secular creation is mediocre and all victory is religious? you're arguing with some other strawman who's not me

@nickcammarata i guess none of the characters struggles felt like my own and i thought their emotional arcs were sort of trite even despite the world bending stuff

@Based_Titan sure, i'll take that. but its not what the rw guys usually mean

@yashevde i think this scene only works on people that haven't read any scifi about relativity before

@ishaan0x taare zameen par gets me for sure as a slightly absent minded kid

@aiyappa__ agreed! there are many secular religions

@MeiselZachary agreed! there are many secular religions

incredible prompt

@Based_Titan Ok true I have to agree there. But atheism is a bit crazy

@Sheldan__ @nickcammarata chill dawg

@ChrisExpTheNews Logan is incredible Maybe best thing that came from the superhero era

@Dennis_Yuan @nickcammarata I mean me neither but me neither but the real tear jerking stuff comes from when you can relate

tbh this might be the fundamental autist normie divide i enjoy social games and small deceptions and the rationalists would like nothing more than complete earnestness https://x.com/Aella_Girl/status/1523848941808365570

i think memes are probably more important than the underlying humans

one thing that should be obvious to people working on intelligence is that there’s no fine line between memorization and generalization

a “Chinese room” has memorized the nature of language, ok. a Chinese room half as small but equally effective memorized language but also generalized

@nickcammarata is it because of the guilt aspect of Santa?

Reminder that when lord frizzle arrived on the field trip in her magic school bus to teach six million school children, the first words she said was “take chances!”

@visakanv @Jamesthesnake Yep

@nickcammarata imo the mental stack of lying seems to be exactly the same as the one for telling tales which i feel is something probably impossible to raise children without there’s no fine line between “simplifying” “abstracting” “lying” “fairy tales” so idk

broke: santa is real woke: Santa is fake bespoke: Santa is a distributed hive mind egregore that operates in concert with technoconsumerism to modify your parents behavior

@realtimeai @nickcammarata i mean maybe let’s say your playing peakaboo with a baby. they don’t have the object permanence to tell that you’re not actually disappearing. are you telling them a lie? a story? are you traumatizing them? now extrapolate this to slightly older more complicated babies

@realtimeai @nickcammarata i don’t know lying seems fine just use coherent extrapolated volition

@liminal_warmth @chaosprime the cup itself is an idea probably with a computer model a production line several designers and engineers etc im not convinced!

@liminal_warmth @chaosprime lol someone propagated you the cultural form of coffee drinking!

@liminal_warmth @chaosprime spend any time studying reinforcement learning and you will be disabused of the idea that merely taking actions and having behaviors is free will

@liminal_warmth @chaosprime wait why do you think I’m distressed

thinking of doordashing food but my robinhood is glaring at me angrily

@qorprate oh say more

@jessicamalonso @realtimeai @nickcammarata lool

@nickcammarata lmao

@qorprate i'm using materialism because atheism is basically a swear word now and evokes bad feelings

@MegaBasedChad you can go be irrelevant with the cool ppl in london

@Andr3jH @MegaBasedChad if you're not at least a little mean to L3 he won't respond properly it's a byproduct of his eastern bloc upbringing

@nickcammarata @powerbottomdad1 parfit was wrong,

@nickcammarata @powerbottomdad1 i'll get back to you on this

@dcwych some people take an absolute hardline on lying

roon account can remain insane longer than you can remain solvent

fake ass "anon accounts" meeting people off the internet and then becoming caught in the fields of the exact forces of nature they were escaping

funny thing about Miami is that when you’re there everyone tells you on the DL that it’s all fake and there’s no tech there. extremely based

except the OpenStore guys but theyre running an overblown private equity fund

@powerbottomdad1 new bio

capital seems to be as much of a force of nature as the actual forces of nature when deciding which hard frontier technologies will thrive and which won't. scientists too often scoff at billionaire funded research efforts bc they don't get this

capital isn't just money obviously but brand, clout, recruiting, etc

more specific examples are like e.g. collison funded genomics institute, thiel funded longevity institute, etc. although the latter actually seems pretty fake

@saasdegenerate i mean did i not just insult them

@heap_Disrespecc @powerbottomdad1 shadow ban hits us all. the rein of elon can't come soon enough

@PatBatemanVC @varunramg to be clear the only reason i make fun of founder's fund guys so much is that they're the last cool VCs on twitter. you can talk shit and banter and they won't come after your livelihood

@adriyoung who need they voice amplified

literally nobody: andrew huberman: before every podcast i breathe deeply and instantly become erect. i take a testosterone pill and achieve 360 degree visual awareness so i can better understand my guest’s body language. i don’t press record until the lunar calendar indicates it

@TheRevAlokSingh he did but I got too inebriated to solve

@dgerner6 ok and all i said is that it’s happening? does that require expertise? lmao

@MadSubrahmanyam this is the darwinian value of the meme. what about the utilitarian value? should we preserve memes that can't fight for themselves? why do we preserve animals going extinct

america is based as hell insofar as its the country most dedicated to technocapital. its def not china though they have the CBMG aesthetic vibes with their nice cities. they threw the doctor doing human germline editing in jail and probably killed him

they banned crypto and video games and a ton of other leading CBMG indicators. they can win me back if they start allowing some unhinged bullshit

@dpinsen "coldness be my god"

@tehpio you couldn't excise anything i had to do that

@realscottmcleod no it's amazing and fun. low tech though

@Willyintheworld oh shit

im posting butlerian jihad accelerationism not because i want MIRI butlerian jihad but bc i hope to inspire OpenAI to hire some guards

my degenerate financial behavior caused this crash. and you know what

@TetraspaceWest not at all. it makes them think they're fighting in the trenches for a good mission that bad people are willing to take down. israel's birth rates are sky high for a reason

@suchirbalaji hire some guards

the hallway entering the DeepMind London office is adorned with giant life sized posters of Science, Nature, Cell cover art from any time they managed to publish research that achieves one of the CNS trinity

my robinhood debit card bounced today. accelerate right into insolvency >>>

contrary to the usual anti-academia bent of silicon valley they take their roots seriously to a hilarious level. the whole point of the mission is to achieve levels of artificial intelligence that allows them to publish more incredible science rather than postscarcity or whatever

i am told that DeepMind has a 3 tier achievement system. Tier 1: Publishing at NIPS/ICML/ICLR Tier 2: Cover of Cell/Nature/Science Tier 3: Nobel Prize nothing in between

@gbrl_dick @newlabeleling i think he meant successor to liberalism and he explicitly didn’t want to define it. like a bitch

@eigenrobot contrarian take is that actually it’s probably fine to lose some intellectual capital to rent seeking and still be useful

@eigenrobot i mean we don’t fault newton for devoting most of his time to alchemical studies

@DrRandyMcDougal @eigenrobot It’s not rent seeking but it is theological same as dei shit

@L0m3z @eigenrobot i mean yes maybe every department will dedicate a spot or two to The Priesthood but academic science will go on regardless it’s thrived under much worse circumstances

seems like a lot of defi projects have halfway decent financial schemes and then fail due to tactical errors

@abrar_gist such as leaving a gaping flaw in your governance mechanism

@DrRandyMcDougal @eigenrobot after age 50 Einstein mostly spent his time campaigning for various socialist efforts

@abrar_gist did you read about the beanstalk hack at all? they basically flash loan attacked it and bought all the governance tokens

@antoniogm i think wokeism makes sense and is here to stay

schizoposters of all political stripes and ideologies are united by their schizoness

@antoniogm to be clear I think the term “wokeism” makes sense lol not the ideology it refers to

I’ll do it again. I will get more cash and lever up and buy LEAPs and calls and angel invest irresponsibly and whatnot. LFG

human civilization builds right up against the sea level and moves itself up and down with it like a great thermometer. abandoning farmland when it becomes too flooded and vice versa. now i am doing the same with the ebb and flow of the financial markets

this was the greatest tweet of all time. It all peaked here https://x.com/SparkNotes/status/1190282921564889088

something inexplicable about elon is that he clearly believes in very short AGI timelines short takeoff and high alignment risk and yet he doesn't seem to care abt it in any tangible way

@houellebecq_2 i think for any reasonable definition “AGI” is already here human level intelligence I would say within 5-10 years maybe

@GjMcGowan ok this whole post is cringe

@CXGonzalez then he started poaching their talent for tesla and burned all bridges

@GjMcGowan @houellebecq_2 well I work in the AI space and think about these things constantly

@girlbossintech without a doubt the Mars mission makes no sense as a business oppo

@houellebecq_2 inference demands are usually a lot cheaper than training

@uzpg_ @houellebecq_2 i think the ai safety people have reasonable fears. personally i think we're probably going to have a slow takeoff setting and aligning it stage by stage will be doable

@houellebecq_2 @uzpg_ slow takeoff meaning there's no individual step function change that destroys us paperclip style. even the human level AI will not be paperclipping us

@houellebecq_2 @uzpg_ the conjecture is that as soon as you have human level AI then it can simulate an AI researcher and recursively self improve

@zebulgar LFG https://x.com/tszzl/status/1446190684139044867?s=20&t=kcD8jP3hE7GrLSehH03eVg

optimal amount of trauma for your kids is nonzero

the movie lion was custom optimized in a lab to fuck me up

@0xrandomuser @warty_dog what changes do you notice?

seems pretty clear to me that the relationship between objective magnitude of the Bad Thing vs the emotional response is fairly flat in the long run

people who have never had a Bad Thing happen will be traumatized by almost nothing at all while others will grow up in destitution and somehow only be marginally more damaged

whats the optimal policy under this reality

@Lan_Dao_ this just pavlovian conditioning

theres an obvious tradeoff between protection and freedom - several types of "oppression" can be recoded as protection most of the surveillance state stuff is like this, gender relations are like this, etc. but technology allows you to push the pareto tradeoff boundary outwards

maybe you can have the benefits of digital identity without the downsides of surveillance zk proofs etc

bro why are you "curating your dataset" just include everything

elon is playing dirty with twitter. he knows that the public backlash will be too great to ban him from the platform or even for the SEC to take action. he has become a populist technocaesar about to put the optimates (parag et al) out of business by ignoring the rule of law

@iluhyoujannies was meant to be ambiguous

@krishnanrohit excession

if you try and contact someone mid level in an organization and ask them to do you even a mild favor they're gonna say no. they have scarcity mentality. versus if you ask the ceo theyre gonna say for sure dude go ahead

one classic grift in tech journalism is just calling random mid level employees with vague wordcel titles “execs” to manufacture content

@NameBrandGirl u cant make me

@bowserbot2 you mean how easy it is 🙄

walter isaacson’s conclusion about einstein was that he mostly stopped producing great science after age and began a life of mostly feckless political advocacy. elon seems to be around that age

@ConnorTabarrok not even discovered but rediscovered

the fact that it's a fairly straight line of scaling from simple intelligence to really complicated architectures that manipulate language and generate images should greatly narrow down certain parameters in the drake equation

if shkreli got out like 6 months earlier he would've raised a $100m crypto fund in a matter of days and pulled one of the most massive rugs of all time

what shkreli did in terms daraprim was not regular pharma shenanigans. buying a patent and raising prices is a normal market function but refusing to sell daraprim to generics competitors so that they can't assure similarity to the FDA is cartoon villain shit

@rajathx i both acknowledge that he's a villain and see him as a valuable addition to the schizoscape

@Sean_M0 nobody was interested since it was already priced like a generic

@LudditeHacker insofar as i'm a fan of all dancing monkeys

@powerbottomdad1 there were plenty, several hospitals stopped ordering it for a while

@powerbottomdad1 i'm sure if i dug i could find one -- but really it doesn't matter doing that shit is evil because he is stealing from the public not necessarily because it directly leads to deaths

@powerbottomdad1 https://x.com/BarneyFlames/status/1528115402286538753?s=20&t=4r0bO_Pm-1YaaiF6YeIRTw

@_jersey_john normal in terms of pharma markets

@Enrique5060782 oh hell yeah

@eigenrobot there's something to be said about zero FDA cyberpunk biotech world but i think as far as FDA reqs go its one of the least onerous simply submit a piece of paper demonstrating that the new generic works similarly to the old drug

@eigenrobot of course, there should be accelerated pre-approval & ways to order drugs for testing through the FDA itself rather than from the pharma company but hey

@BarneyFlames @jejunestarfcker @powerbottomdad1 right its not exactly promising that the guy that became famous got some free drugs

@Enrique5060782 @rajathx last refuge of someone losing an internet debate - 'this convo would be better had over voice'

@Enrique5060782 @rajathx

@homeslashpluto @Enrique5060782 @rajathx disagree, text is the form of discourse that demands the most logical coherence. tone often detracts rather than enhances

@amasad this has more to do with real rates going to zero over time and central bank policy having to become more and more radical

the real redpill is this

@mohini_astra rage rage agains the dying of the light!

@BollingerBeans no alpha on this trade, of course world famous offline guy will perform better

lengthening pharma patents is explicitly pro tech progress. few understand this

pharmaceutical sales reps are one of the most cyberpunk concepts in the world. yeah we're going to siphon some of the hottest most cutthroat women in the world to simply glance at a doctor, identify his/her exact personal weakness, and ruthlessly exploit it to sell more drugs

these ladies would've put cleopatra to shame and they are now part of Merck's sterile neolib harem. insanely based. this paradigm will continue until roi on pharma r&d goes back up beyond roi on pharma sales engineering

there should be whole short stories and cyberpunk novels written from the perspective of a PSR

@alicemazzy @michaelcurzi @jeff82874662 Yea even radical shit like orban did barely moved the needle

@DukakisDude there’s no indication of that at all

anyway it’s probably fine because my AGI timeline is short just own some google shares if AGI is not coming and this has all been a red herring we look a little fucked

@garybasin cope

@Austen correct bc complicated financial frauds are less interesting

@EthanReeder population decrease = gdp growth halts = end of capitalism

@garybasin its not about trending to zero. negative pop growth means negative gdp growth. which means the end of our way of life

@garybasin if investors expect secular negative growth investments probably decline massively. japanese probably have capital flight though i'm not sure

@tulsidas69420 @Andr3jH oh fuck yeah

@Coscorrodrift @acidshill @gbrl_dick @eigenrobot we make each other iteratively crazier and more insane

naive free market ppl always talk about importing foreign pharmaceuticals as some sort of solution to prices. that’s just replacing one set of price controls for someone else’s

it does not increase net efficiency to import canadian insulin or whatever

@valueless_user why can't we make daraprim generics locally? it's fda issues. why can't we import foreign daraprim? it'll run into the same fda issues of verifying suppliers

@eigenrobot @chaosprime @arachnocapital2 I’ve been trying to kill it slowly

@sur4js and that’s Good

@lastcontrarian his alpha turned out to be levered beta

@pataguccigoon @lastcontrarian it’s a mutually beneficial relationship 🙂

@mattyglesias lmao wdym

wait i just realized the implication please ignore

canadian insulin production is not more productive than ours. if you can get the globally best price that means the entire world is negotiating as one against the pharma companies, who will then proceed to never do an iota of research again

lol wordcels out in full force https://t.co/FHO7c4q6IJ

@CineraVerinia @eigenrobot @QiaochuYuan @lastcontrarian @TheCaptain_Nemo i think it’s different with some overlap

@CineraVerinia @eigenrobot @QiaochuYuan @lastcontrarian @TheCaptain_Nemo you can vaguely outline it as the roon simcluster and the eigen simcluster

this is the dumbest possible thing you can say and possibly the opposite of the truth scientists are trained to find answers engineers are trained to make things work https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1528990544235405312

@EvansVeris thing & system obsession creates all meaningful progress

@MolasAlex correct and good

@madhuri_p_ @Andr3jH yah I don’t get it, this seems tautologically positive — absolute worst case of superbugs is that antibiotics stop working, which would be exactly like the counterfactual anyway

@BioOptimist then forget insulin and consider the general case

worst thing you can be introduced as is “FAANG engineer”. better to be unemployed

@sawpex better

im a startup guy now. and a researcher not engineer

@seconds_0 i embrace every brainworm

nothing wrong with faang engineers really it’s just become synonymous with low agency and/or selling out

this is all fake but I’m just mad they introduced me as “legendary faang engineer” in the shkreli space 😂

@powerbottomdad1 once you get there you’ll want something else

@bowserbot2 ilya seems genuinely very smart, along with Richard Sutton, David silver

@powerbottomdad1 there are projects of immortal importance to be working on

@twofifteenam most companies have peer review

freedom and inequality are joined at the hip vastly increased freedom of speech created by the internet creates winner take all dynamics where a handful of performers become insanely powerful accounts like elon's or trump's for example

the more freedom of speech there is the more you should expect strongmen to pop up

@varunramg gross

IMO if network states are real they will be much larger and more centralized than current states

@freshyjmp you will get better and better strongmen

faang engineer is the new indefinite optimism. bounded upside for a smart person. vs someone whose "working on something new" even its dogshit has unlimited upside and much more interesting

@BundyTheCurious then they should lead with their side hustles when they intro themselves

@bryancsk you can call me "ex google ex facebook tech lead"

@RuxandraTesloi1 my audience is niche tbh i dont shy away from it

techlead is clearly trolling guys. it couldnt be more obvious and half the people on the website fall for it. i watched a video of him calling ethereum a shitcoin bc "quadratic sharding is bad, everyone knows O(N) is better"

@dystopiabreaker correct. he is a cosmic horror worth observing, similar to the tiktok algorithm, or AI generated art

@sdand if you bought techlead's coin you might honestly deserve it

@deepfates @aarontcao i know the exact morpheme that would collapse your mind in a black hole of cringe, it was given to me by a rogue ai

@aarontcao if you picked eigen roon and visa you are now dead. all three are famous for being absent minded as hell and nothing else tangible so it’s over for you

@alth0u "solve all of technology, super safe and aligned, in the style of davinci"

@TaylorLorenz @pataguccigoon isn’t saying inflammatory shit for attention the definition of trolling?

@tranhelen yo check out this guys bio @growing_daniel

@TaylorLorenz @pataguccigoon right but the example in my OP - he said something obviously wrong about a technical detail in a comedic way - makes me think he’s self aware and intentional

crazy thing is if you just believed the right wing vc brain trust for the last 2-3 years you’d have been right way more often than not

you’d have been early on covid and inflation

nah (if it works) the high freedom of crypto is going to create more inequality than ever before — sure it destroys a certain kind of data capital by open sourcing it all but will create other kinds https://x.com/8teAPi/status/1529490900962881537

@TaterTotient @Duderichy @typecfemale @storebrandguy my liquid salary is much smaller at the startup plus lifestyle creep plus more friends and shit to do to entertain them

raising money for a “drug discovery” startup except we just walk around the tenderloin and discover the best dealers

the discourse that goes like “wanting more than $x level of income or y level of status is sooo out of touch” is insanely boring. i am once again telling you you are all high status compared to bangladeshi peasants and the rest is just a series of equally absurd and fun games

language models have been reasoning for a long time, albeit reluctantly, and with great apprehension https://x.com/arankomatsuzaki/status/1529278580189908993

it is low status in the ML world to anthropomorphize models instead of regarding them clinically so i will continue to lean into it

@bowserbot2 opsec is completely fake, the only opsec is the love of your friends and followers

when a baby starts saying its first words amidst a bunch of nonsense syllables, we celebrate it as a big sign of progress when large language/image models produce individually amazing results but the median result isn't all that impressive shouldn't we celebrate that too?

@RuxandraTesloi1 @bowserbot2 @mimi10v3 this response is too perfect

i don’t mean literally celebrate it’s progress like you would a baby’s wtf i mean celebrate the result as an early sign of general intelligence it only takes one obscenely good GPT completion demonstrating true creativity to convince me it’s alive

roonchat offended shkreli so badly that he unfollowed me. it’s over

@pataguccigoon you’re gonna take a different tone now that I’ve added you

@pataguccigoon why do we live in a world where Taylor Lorenz knows about roonchat

ok actually he blocked me. its double over

one thing you notice when working with veteran scientists is that they start off with the assumption that new papers are completely fake. vs me, a newbie, believes everything is real until convinced otherwise

@theashelina lmao you would hate it but i'll add you anyway

@rromea i hate him but i want his attention anyway. it’s complicated. just like my dad

@BenRatkaj for his wamen

@mimi10v3 this is a made up backstory lol my dads cool

@postpostpostr ah I see

@provisionalidea @eigenrobot i dont have politics anymore only aesthetics techno-accelerationism? post westphalian society? humanity on a hundred worlds? idk

@provisionalidea @eigenrobot i find it terminally boring now to hear about what biden or trump are doing when we are going to have human level AI within 10 years. none of it matters, the state is all dead players

wait i spoke too soon

im losing my mind. did aliens build this?

any time you’re doubting human potential just visit new york

the largest sea creature in the world is the blue whale which reaches 100 feet in length and inspired sailors to sing about monsters and leviathans for centuries. but a single panamax class freight liner is 1400 feet long

the Niagara Falls drains Lake Erie into lake Ontario and stands 150 ft tall, dumping 6 million cubic feet of water over the edge every minute. But the Hoover dam is 750 ft tall and 1.5x the flow rate

@TeddyRaccovelt there are and we built them

@eternalsoulseed you got a problem with termites?

there are deep sea creatures that can cast a spell which levels whole cities

imagine building the worlds greatest city moments before baumols coat syndrome makes construction impossible in first world countries

@madhuri_p_ start that anon account immediately!

@AliceFromQueens @michaelcurzi it was trolling but it’s also postironic. clearly your mostly true beliefs and i found them pretty gross on a spiritual level and i was on a ton of addy that day. so I’m sorry but not that sorry

@Andr3jH it’s the opposite

why don't these ppl have some sort of constraint solver or probabilistic forecasting? if they were that close to the borderline that they might have to cancel the whole flight and waste 1000s of cumulative hours of people's time then you probably want to be telling ppl that

my .@united flight yesterday was delayed 8 hours and then cancelled while everybody was actually on board lol. there's apparently a federal regulation that prohibits emps from working shifts longer than X hrs and their flight plan brushed up within minutes of margin on that

another day, another .@united flight stuck on the tarmac. this time they spent 3 hours delayed replacing a lavatory and then apparently another hour loading cargo. but if there's a predictable mechanical problem shouldn't cargo loading be happening while it's being resolved?

either way the airline industry is in the stone ages lol. they are not sending their best. no refunds either apparently
