@jeffreycider @KolmogorovGhost @pragueyerrr the fact that you think this is an own means you understood nothing lol

@pragueyerrr maybe don’t hold so much water for random media companies that any criticism of their (extremely beloved, universally acclaimed) movie is just racism lol

being a rich young man in new york city may be the global optimum of human experience i do not know how it can get better

but the mind is not built to have good times for a long time so you eventually either become religious or go american psycho

@pragueyerrr im saying it’s not worth defending what amounts to a very successful product with accusations of racism

@devcat0 so true

bc ppl are asking i'm not talking about the goddam crypto parties

@troyoholous i'm not rich at all i'm just doing anthropology

@ThatsTheGwei cringe

@kamikaz_ETH i didn't say they're uncivilized or don't speak english i said they're not american 🥰

@KHicksEfficient well im not rich and i don't live in new york and i'm barely young i'm just extrapolating from what i've seen

@CineraVerinia the variance in outcomes for men is different

@pataguccigoon i didnt block him for miami shit lol, i blocked him bc dude has the literal worst reply game of all time and does not stop after i told him

@pataguccigoon @mobrown2106 yeah

@Noahpinion since variance is higher for men the experience also gets better

the thing that’s profoundly lovable about crypto is the ridiculous aesthetics. Lain-core raves and token drops that wouldn’t look out of place in maplestory. it would’ve almost been tolerable if the VCs hadn’t turned it professional

the VCs also encourage finding webscale aboveboard opportunities that don’t exist which they ultimately dump on the public when the real alpha has always been in building esoteric potentially illegal financial products out of a pirate cove in a country without extradition

“Web 3” and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

@jeff82874662 tbh i dont buy the argument that vapes inhibit use of cigs via competition, seems like they brought a lot of zoomers back into doing nic that being said drugs are based and should be allowed either way

@joodaloop i was right the first time, if you had bought a shitton of stonks in february you'd be rich

the thinking machines allow us to become more human. when you’re behind the wheel you are at your most machinic, following simple road sign algorithms and maintaining traffic flow with a podcast on that you’re not listening to. when the robot is driving you’re free to be human

@AriSchulman i'm honestly amazed when people can wax poetic and dissemble like this about the true nature of driving: that 90% of it is between home and work and is insanely boring

why do people hate email jobs? it's literally the best kind of job

the romantic idea of venture capital is that a crazy founder goes money shopping and that an asymmetrically large # of VCs will reject and a few that like the mission will accept in reality everyone can seemingly spot the "good" founders early on and they just fight over prices

@eshear that's actually really interesting! breaks my model a bit

@ilyasu brand moat?

mfers will start a company and then realize 6 months in ceo is an email job

@garybasin not really, facebook was a darling and fought over by tons of VCs, elon never lacked for capital interest etc

@insipidwanker how is anduril contrarian? while some big funds were likely scared of the political risk im sure many others were tripping over themselves to invest in a founder who previously sold a billion dollar company

@armchair_prof @garybasin he had trouble getting interest after like 3 launch failures to raise enough money for a 4th, plus you’d have to give away most of the company to raise enough money for hardtech

@Suhail tbf your first company was probably a while back, don't you think the situation has changed in 2021 era?

@insipidwanker even founders fund?

the only time i met moldbug, i negged him for attending vibecamp which he accepted in stride, he read an uninterrupted 30 minute long poem while tearing up, and then made some tasteful racist jokes at my expense. 10/10 experience

@dcwych demonstrably wrong, the countries that have all these still have failing birth rates

@dcwych like massive lib cope on a scale that makes me mad when people say that the richest people in history aren’t having kids because they’re not rich enough

everything good in history has been built in abundance, by the class of people that escaped the jaws of death. there’s no world in which Darwin sails the HMS Beagle if he’s struggling to survive or win grant money or anything like that

there’s some dumb nrx blog post that goes around every now and then, maybe by land, that says how everything good has been built in the pits of hell of darwinism or whatever. it’s literal verbal masturbation. actual garbage

the liberal international order was built mostly by the United States after it became the uncontested military and financial hegemon of the world after Europe tore itself apart. everything good is built in a state of monopoly, having escaped from the incentive gradient descent

the cultural scale of twitter has increased dramatically in the past few years. the trump presidency and elon becoming the richest man alive made it incredibly important politically. but the pandemic made it normal to form online communities and meet ppl off the internet

while low-key nerd meetups like vibecamp are a microcosm of this stuff like hereticon and Miami tech week and nft nyc are extremely well funded purely internet driven phenomena where your online friends turns into real friends and internet fame turns into real fame

the whole tech industry is just online now gossiping like high schoolers about every last thing and briefly materializing in the same spots irl

@cauchyfriend what! why the hell would you trust a random sample of 100 sent to humans? i want algorithms finding subtle problems in the login patterns based on self supervision and such like cmon

@cauchyfriend i wouldn't trust a human reviewer to identify a bot account at all. it's extremely easy to think that real people are bots and vice versa. you need to be analyzing actual logs for login and cursor usage and all that shit

@cauchyfriend i know for a fact that facebook has some insane adversarial setup where they create their own bots and then train AIs to recognize their mouse movements and such + rank accounts on different risk ratings of botness. the twitter people are actual clowns in comparison

@cauchyfriend that being said all of this is irrelevant for musk's case probably

the number of species defining technological feats that have come out of the US is impressive — the internet, the moon landing. everyone else gets refactored by it over and over

Don’t ask “what do you do?” at parties IMO also avoid "what's your story?" and "so how do you know [host]?" Better options: - how many indian war elephants do you own? - have you ever successful executed a pincer movement? - will you join me to build neo-Carthage?

@SkepticalAlpaca No

@chaiconsumer yeah it’s questionable

“what do you do” is a bad question at average parties because most people aren’t doing anything interesting and this question will lead nowhere. it however is not a bad question at a party where the median person is immanentizing the AI messiah or whatever

“what do you do?” “omg this question sucks. btw im making whole new types of processor without silicon transistors” “by god tell me more”

at some stage a talented enough IC must become a capital allocator. similarly after some point good enough poasters simply farm content from their lowbies in the GCs and replies

most smart people aren’t good at “business” in the abstract because they’re rarely capable of optoomizing the thing that actually matters. rather they care about the craft or having fun or being recognized or looking smart or any number of things

personally I’ll never be good at business because i care too much about having fun and looking smart

wait the electron orbital clouds just spherical harmonics. how did i not realize this

i don't quite understand why people read seeing like a state and concluded that they need to 'remain illegible'. the book says nothing about the value of legibility but rather the dangers of forcibly making populations legible

e.g. standardizing farming practices in the Philippines into neat squares for easy measurement was a disaster because of the many unintended consequences & crop failures but all else held equal you would still prefer things to be more legible than not

@noworkfunction i die by the book (Arfken)

@dystopiabreaker this seems exactly backwards any overenthusiastic state planner looks at a natural thicket and starts dreaming up horrible schemes to create "order"

it’s alarming when engineer adjacent people don’t have autist discursive norms about everything being ok to question and information being free. i start distrusting their intelligence even though it’s probably not correlated

timid morons on the ML sub today (https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/wiqjxv/d_the_current_and_future_state_of_aiml_is/): "it became [] unquestionably acceptable to push AI into domains that were originally uniquely human, those areas that sit at the top of Maslows’s hierarchy of needs in terms of self-actualization – art, music, writing"

Ada Lovelace, 200 years ago, divining the pure will of the gods: "the [Analytical] engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent”

every advanced computer intelligence is a bicycle for the mind, enabling the human, the slowest mammal on feet alone, to move as fast as Iris on her rainbow

@ecclesiasstease first semi nude party i've been to was in austin

@jardinsecret888 unfortunately i cannot read

"an increasing proportion of the industrial surplus is being absorbed by the task of masking biocapital deterioration" it feels like this was definitely not true like 20 years ago when industrial surplus was bringing billions out of malnutrition. has something changed now

@burnedbull i don’t care how malnourished you think people are now they were far more malnourished 40 years ago

@burnedbull no you're the one who's being too simplistic. it's only recently we started enriching basic staples like rice with all sorts of micronutrient additions to keep billions of peasant farmers alive

unfortunately any honest appraisal of artificial intelligence is totalizing. there's an inexorable scaling law and an event horizon past which reasoning about other aspects of the future seems hopeless/silly

you do not need to believe in "FOOM" or AI godheads or fast recursive self improvement scenarios for this to be true. i'm in the slow takeoff camp watching the GPT and DALLE series evolve and it's still clear that everything changes in 5-10 years

the question of where the next trillion dollar technology or company comes from has already been answered: right here in san francisco

to be clear the individual improvements that led to the modern machine learning paradigm come from legendary researchers all over the world but the capital concentration and the business instinct to make something like Copilot is here

@650ad1 copilot

@NicolasDVillar1 the burden of proof for this statement is entirely on you because the scaling laws do not show any evidence for this

@nickcammarata i'd rather be miserable on a hundred worlds than happy on just the one

@Coscorrodrift @nickcammarata the real redpill is that nick's people will fund drugs and neuralinks and meditation experiences that simulate the feeling of greatness&misery

the most immediate threat to language model scaling is ... the total amount of text produced by mankind https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/6Fpvch8RR29qLEWNH/chinchilla-s-wild-implications

idk i think we can mass produce another trillion tokens via autoregression. maybe there's diminishing returns but not immediately

in the medium term, this gives a huge advantage to organizations like google and facebook which sit on massive private piles of user generated text over openai which must use public scrapes

@cory_eth any creature produced by evolution can't complain about dumb and brute force training processes

@Mo_Porkburger you're right i'll be a chad there too

@bobpoekert buddy i've done it for years now and show no signs of stopping

@LarrotizPablo sounds smart but doesn't mean anything, classic wordcel stuff. studying politics in 1500 wouldn't have helped you understand the industrial revolution or what it was gonna do to the world

anytime i gas AI stuff on the timeline like three people from oai/goog will dm me being like "lol buddy you ain't seen anything yet"

@_ArnaudS_ technology doesn’t absolve us of politics it absolves us of a current iteration of politics which is mostly about making minor updates in a cursed part of the civilizational phase space that i hope we never return to

@_ArnaudS_ do you think gov spending today matters if industrial labor is automated tomorrow

@nosilverv found the leverage research alum

@Pavel_Asparagus hahaha you must be joking

@LewisJEllis @Pavel_Asparagus im down if you are @Pavel_Asparagus

@garybasin find scaling laws when data scaling is done with synthetic data

@Pavel_Asparagus well at my last job i created 9 figure improvements in ad revenue via modeling changes which on the margin i'm sure kept some small business alive

@Pavel_Asparagus but my bar is way higher than that and i'm trying. i work in a AI/bio startup trying to discover novel drug targets. the success in terms of making real improvements in peoples lives isn't at all guaranteed. but what is guaranteed is that corporate cards wont cut it

@Pavel_Asparagus they absolutely have, increasing GDP is holy and good

@Pavel_Asparagus now its true in some utilitarian sense that making money is good no matter what and that stuff like ramp may be a social tech that improves the cohesion of companies. on the other hand i'm not a pure utilitarian and i think some things create more glory than others

@Pavel_Asparagus and that vague sense of beauty or glory seems to correlate with extreme outlier trillion dollar successes, so i wish VCs would follow it a bit too btw i'm not a saint in this regard, i'm getting ready to sellout and start some sort of saas thing but im self aware abt it

Uber’s project greyball is more truly piratical and upholds the values of rebellion against tyranny than any political movement of the last 10 years
