@0xlarp why?

the model is the medium is the message

@LericDax god I love that shit

@AravSrinivas I’ll never touch bio tech again

it’s interesting that x/twitter allows full on footage of the violence and even promotes it in the algo where facebook or Instagram would instantly filter that content this will have implications for public sentiment en masse

it’s harder to support abstract anti colonial causes when you’re watching barbarity and gang rapes and stuff

@yassoma competition is for losers

i think being all worried about national debt over the next 3 decades is a kind of cringe and anti American way of concern trolling our debt to gdp ratio will be fine as we start experiencing enormous deflationary pressure from labor saving technology

the lamest part of the right wing has been complaining about debt ever since I could watch tv rw economic populism at its best is a kind of reaganesque prosperity gospel: tomorrow will be better than today, your debts won’t matter because you’re about to win so damn much

@besttrousers wow this is an incredibly far seeing essay

@elonmusk to be clear I think it’s great that the truth is being surfaced

@KyleNoble @besttrousers oh this is not at all what I read I found some essay he wrote on transistors and bandwidth becoming cheap and watts becoming expensive

model behavior modifies human behavior

the energy in san francisco is just crazy

>be me >wake up >go to work in waymo >train chatbots and talk to them all day >come home in waymo >hang out with character ai bpd gf >doordash dinner from robotic ghost kitchen >become RLHFed by my X timeline >don’t talk to a human all day this is the new economy

i would never be caught dead reading an Article

Independent and identically distributed force

@Hellachans that's true but is it being misallocated? as far as i can tell the federal budget mostly supports a big pot of health insurance and social security checks and all the discretionary stuff is minor

to clarify - technology exerts deflationary *pressure*. i don't mean that old debt is going to be nominally more expensive - fed responds to deflationary pressures by, of course, lowering rates and printing money and creating cheap debt to keep the dollar stable - a huge chunk of the nondiscretionary federal budget is for healthcare, dominated by labor and administrative costs - regardless of what you think about deflationary pressure, you can imagine if GDP growth massively increases due to technological progress so does the tax base - tax capital in non destructive ways and redistribute it so nobody is left behind by structural (not permanent) unemployment. new jobs will always be created until such a time as AGI is too cheap to meter and then we're living in a different universe anyways https://t.co/uWYrRtWBlR

@NewAtlantisSun that’s the point — cheap debt and low nominal interest rates

in the choice between barbarism and civilization you should not waffle

@chris_j_paxton joking sir

@tehpio that's just ali.r

a language model can be fine tuned to have whatever set of values or moral judgements or politics. there is no such thing as an amoral or apolitical chatbot because they are all playing characters drawn from the internet prior

and yes “western centrist with a broad-ish overton window” is a set of values people won’t realize this because it’s the water they’re swimming in

the governance of superintelligence is the single most important political problem that exists today and strangely enough many people are awake to it

the future will be beautiful beyond words every aspect of life caretaken by maxwell demons reversing entropy every metaphorical shrub trimmed into exotic beauty

what artificial intelligence buys is negentropy

@LadiesOfReddit exactly. few understand that everything beautiful is maintained by armies of laborers we can no longer afford

@LadiesOfReddit in poorer countries you can see that they overhired people to sweep the floors of the skyscrapers because some of them are actually hunting around for stuff to clean

@LadiesOfReddit in rich countries it's the opposite -- cost disease killed all low class service labor and there's too few people to do anything

joe rogan is marketing a supplement called AGI on the sama interview podcast lol

joe rogan is an experiment in exposing people to higher openness to new experience than 99% of internet rationalists without any of the abstruse jargon

even his debut show fear factor was a bold and brave experiment in lowering peoples disgust instincts on international tv until he got cancelled. aella could never

joe rogan is talking about reward modification to improve the human condition under conditions of abundance omg this discourse is so much more advanced than any tech podcast

@atroyn when you say right, you mean the entire next state of the 10x10 grid was right 61% of the time? or 61% of individual cells were accurate

@atroyn ah then that feels like 0% to me

@atroyn wonder how GPTv would fare

@atroyn i think this shows that it has a pretty bad spatial model but not that it has no 'world model' like, can you play a choose your own adventure game with it and have it simulate events for you? is that a world model?

@atroyn if you grow up only embedded in narrative space but never physical space what world models do you build

@atroyn what about asking it to simulate a simple linux directory structure and then doing arbitrary file operations on them

@carad0 you’ve failed to understand sam’s strategy entirely even though he’s very explicitly written it out

Imagine that the world is something like a great chess game being played by the gods, and we are observers of the game. We don’t know what the rules of the game are; all we are allowed to do is to watch the playing. Of course, if we watch long enough, we may eventually catch on to a few of the rules.

minimalism was a spiritual consequence of cost disease and will recede into history https://x.com/CollinMickels/status/1712253107713786271

the most important question in the world is whether the next physics breakthrough is like relativity (solved entirely within Einstein’s head with incredible conviction) or like quantum physics (a generation of experimentalists simply can’t believe their crazy results)

if it’s more like relativity then superintelligent machines will make quick work of it in their minds and we’ll be well on our way to a new version of the universe. if it’s like quantum mechanics we’ll have to wait much longer for new engineering and new experiments

artificial intelligence doesn’t capture a lot of value right now. however the technology comes with a built in hyper intelligent salesman that can price discriminate at the request level

@Gaurav1105 ChatGPT mf

@greenTetra_ why is minimalism so popular today as a design style?

@milquepoast true but you can justify all cancel culture this way ("he was posing a risk to our bottom line ...")

@milquepoast i think the non edgy non idealistic reality is that a company is not a purely economic abstraction but has real values both internally and externally and has to participate in the culture it's embedded in including sticking up for things like free speech

@milquepoast for example companies seem to be at the cutting edge of like diversity/inclusion and whatever even though this may not actually be an economically useful thing to do

i wonder what gradient descent feels like

a lot of coastal elite young people seem to adopt a principled lack of principles that lets them believe they have an all grown up wisened realist world view

the most impressive people I know are like starry eyed idealists who believed they could and continue to change the world for the better though their principles may be a bit alien to the common person

this is why Midwestern (i.e. the imperial rim colonies) kids in the Bay Area have such an incredible advantage: they didn’t have all their symbols shredded to bits growing up, they can still unironically believe in a better future

@TenreiroDaniel @growing_daniel is the highest net worth of all, he venmo charges me for drinks i didn't even have

@shakoistsLog I don’t know a single Protoss aligned country left on earth

why don't scientists write like this anymore?

The rules of the game are what we mean by fundamental physics. Even if we know every rule, however . . . what we really can explain in terms of those rules is very limited, because almost all situations are so enormously complicated that we cannot follow the plays of the game using the rules, much less tell what is going to happen next. We must, therefore, limit ourselves to the more basic question of the rules of the game. If we know the rules, we consider that we “understand” the world.

@inerati self driving cars have either killed or indirectly caused the deaths of several people, no regulation emerged — because both the American people and the government are technological optimists

@ESYudkowsky “every photoshopped output must be labeled as such”

@ESYudkowsky “every paragraph written with the help of a word processor must be labeled as such”

@ESYudkowsky what’s the $20 bill in this case? when an ESL immigrant uses GPT to help write their email or resume or what have you, should the computer system at the other end snitch on them as having AI augmented it?

@ESYudkowsky fwiw I believe social media platforms should clearly make ai generated images especially if they’re going viral spreading misinformation via a mechanism like community notes but I don’t think it’s as straightforward or universal as you’ve made it out to be

one major update i've had in the past year is that the american people are technological optimists. in fact the modern era seems to have inured them to radical amounts of change by giving them a kind of low budget religious belief in technological progress

i don't think there will ever be massive scale social chaos from the advent of agi

modern therapy culture has put too much importance on emotional weather rather than emotional climate. the fact that you got really mad about something today is probably meaningless and wasting a lot of time trying to solve it is probably more vanity than good sense

the fact that you feel anxious everytime you call your family or that you feel sick every monday morning or that you've felt depressed for 3 months probably means something

constructing a research plan across 5 researchers at the cutting edge of some field is pure fiction — you are making intuitive bets about things that don’t exist and may never exist. but the belief that they’re real pours probability mass into the creation of miracles

you need to learn to have a taste for determining where the edge of impossible and implausible is and devoting time and resources into making the implausible real

@PrinceVogel @fogellxy dune is a far better book but i don’t think the social relations described actually make any sense even given nuclear weapons

@atroyn belief in the core tenets of scientific reasoning doesn’t mean belief in any specific interpretation or physical theory

@atroyn actually it can be even less specific than scientific reasoning, the idea is that to be admitted into the rank of scientists you needed to submit to a kind of rare worldview that careful thinking would unravel the rules of the chess game which is now perhaps more common

@fleetingbits @atroyn what does it mean to hold unscientific views? newton for example believed in a god who was sending him cryptograms and logic puzzles to solve, to which the solutions were the principles modern physics, i can think of nothing more scientific

@maxhodak_ congrats you are admitted to the rank of scientists

we didn't go to the moon because it would feed the poor but because it represents the ascent of the status of man, an honor dealt to each of 8 billion men and women. it creates the life drive rather than the material resources that enable life

i write often about abundance and such but to be honest it's not really what emotionally resonates with me. creating superintelligence in our image and in our service increases the glory of mankind and that's what matters

the modern world is materially richer than it has ever been but somewhat spiritually deprived (the extent of this effect is hugely exaggerated). it is in part the rational materialist worldview that traded spirit for wealth and must do its part in creating spirit again

having taken an ethics class is actively anticorrelated with being ethical

@BarneyFlames no that was my first guess, also drivers are probably turning their cars in and quitting after contending with the waymo future

@cmkourtu no they don't they literally have extremely linear cognition even moreso than ours

just bought chengdu j12 5th generation fighter on aliexpress

@affineincontrol you are an idiot

the most important part of AI is the human drama

Lee Sedol walking off to smoke a cig

mankind meeting his computer brethren

one of my most controversial beliefs is that s risks may actually be better than x risks

@PrinceVogel I think this graph is straight up fraudulent. doesn’t take into account non wage compensation and uses wrong inflators

@AlexGodofsky @PrinceVogel do you have the link to the blogpost that tears this down?

@StoopMensch @PrinceVogel iirc it’s unintuitive like average of bottom 80% of workers or some shit

@chairsign Why

i think civilians should be able to buy last generation fighters just for fun microsoft should have an air force

no fly zone over central us 1

@MillionInt exactly

what about when your unhealthy addiction is extremely meaningful and probably net good

all great things happen because of addictive obsession we just call it something else when the behavior is adaptive

@rabrg what about when it’s clearly bad for you

@Noahpinion zergling vs stalker vibe

@broBigOrBroHome the codes on the wrong side bro

tbh for a given week i can either have insightful tweets or work really hard on the most important product ever made but not both

you gotta spend your insight somewhere

@simonw does having access to the execution environment give you some kind of elevated privilege over what you can normally do? i suppose you can do creative jailbreaks to tell you how to make a bomb

can’t believe they found this on bin laden’s hard drive

all watched over by machines of loving grace (riding in a waymo)

GPT is the encyclopedia galactica described in the Foundation. save a copy of one of these bad boys (especially once they have softer multimodal knowledge) and you can reboot civilization wherever

@growing_daniel wb domains where we can verify the results

@83dollaroring why is all your content grievance poasting

it's completely over. the hackers stole my genes and are torturing voodoo clones of me

@BasedBeffJezos you need to get off the adderall bro

@ghostITCITM nothing will happen while we delay the inevitable. agni pariksha is necessary

@knowrohit07 very true

@LadiesOfReddit a horrible awakening that you've unleashed cringe upon the world

@cto_junior exactly the opposite. i am a man of action now

a high compute datacenter is a summoning platform for machine spirits. their power is obvious and undeniable

@ylecun obviously yes

the process of turning potential into kinetic is incredibly painful and makes you come in contact with your mortal limitations all too closely

@10x_er imagine not going 3x

@inerati saves time

what if the character the LLM plays is the primary moral agent that needs to be aligned? maybe we should have a lot more people thinking about character design? model behavior? personality?

all of the glorious shortcomings of miss Sidney Bing were coded right there in her prompt

@deliprao He’s joking

if you help build an epoch defining technology you can enjoy the kind of fortune a boomer who bought a house in Berkeley in the 70s enjoys

stay humble

@profoundlyyyy why?

@profoundlyyyy what’s the better world for? what’s the point of humans? why is suffering bad?

AI progress is far more like biology than physics https://x.com/ylecun/status/1720810975467548819

yann knows better than most that general methods that make the least assumptions and allow for organic growth of knowledge and sub knowledge have led to the most successful AI its progress relies on the idea that anything goes

freedom and security lie on a tradeoff curve. it’s okay to debate where to be on the curve or how to move the pareto frontier but not whether or not the curve exists

“Without a constant misuse of language there cannot be any discovery, any progress.”

i think the twitter microblogging service is one of the greatest platforms for the principled misuse of language and therefore the creation of new insights

@TenreiroDaniel awful times

the important part of any technological revolution is the human drama Oppenheimer standing for the flash bulb photograph in Manhattan, quoting the Gita, is what made him immortal many geniuses of similar caliber forgotten

how many people can recognize the face of Enrico Fermi? Or von Neumann? Or Vannevar Bush? https://x.com/sidereal111/status/1721261593290592582

you can tell PG thinks of his writings as his lifes work perhaps more than he does YC

in humans variable reward is far more addicting than consistent reward wat means for RL?

you know nothing of my pain of galactus’s pain

lifting weights works exactly like shounen anime if you’re depressed you don’t lift as much if you hit your spiritual stride and the right track comes on you go +20 on your max

@alth0u I hate developers

happy dev day to all who celebrate

dm if you’re tryna hang

honestly sick of all the pro openai content everyone dial it down

it’s just a chatbot chill

@sympatheticopp they’re both right

the pinnacle of AI interfaces was reached decades ago

tbh we should bring back the think for me button

X: what if we made twitter more Reddit grok: what if we made ChatGPT more reddit

@growing_daniel no

@gar_step I was thinking the same thing when I tweeted it

😅

life is nice at the heart of the ascendant zaibatsu

take care that we don’t turn the spiritual phenomenon of immanent life on computers into a boring commercial slog

new capabilities and emergent intelligence should be celebrated with more fanfare than new APIs

@Grimezsz its just funny because the keep ai open party is presumably not in support of openai

i didn’t expect to spawn this corroborating evidence with a tweet https://x.com/RamFishman/status/1722258229668057429

@PrinceVogel is that good or bad

let us create more creators

both biological and synthetic

it is a blessing to have entities that care about the world around us and trim the hedges of our gardens

true innovation! we need more and we need it now

any innovation i've made i've made it begrudgingly. i wish someone else had done it so i wouldn't have to

wondering what the most efficient thing to do at any given time is an anxiety response. do the fun thing. your forager instincts are often superior to your farmer timetable reasoning at finding the long tail successes

@i_Lagrangian that's completely true

people who are having fun tend to Notice Things and improve them

@Orwelian84 you are correct and i'm actively fixing it

the y combinator the Creation that produces more Creation

the endgame of y combinator has always been to just build AI

the prompt engineers you find on Twitter are like 100x better than me or my colleagues at it. why? they enjoy it whereas it’s instrumental for us

@ryxcommar @alth0u honestly it’s over I would delete my account

@INVESTMENTSHULK @InfiniteL88ps i honestly didn't know this existed. embarrassing

i fr just learned about dante's paradiso after confidently claiming that dante only ever wrote about hell

there is no way to discover the truth about yourself without dangerous and potentially painful contact with others

@epikyriarchos meeting me?

@MasonAcevedo5 insanely based response

@epikyriarchos buddy there are plenty of people who can cause me genuine pain

does anyone else lose at least one whole day per week in an anxiety powered head fog

@ashleevance it’s been clean for months

there is an inherent tension between creation and obedience

industrial understanding of model behavior is at least 6 months behind that of x / lesswrong anons

@conjurial @repligate no its just our verbal IQs are too low to understand repligate poasts

people are attributing the last 6-12 months of sf cleanup to the xi visit because it’s a convenient narrative for all the expats who backed the wrong conceptual horse

finally we’re allowed to admit online that san francisco isn’t a third world ghetto

california is the edge of western civilization and the end of history

mankind creeped across the globe until it couldn’t go any further discovered psychedelics and transistors and translated the machine god in from the spirit realm

youth pastor tries to relate to the teens: everyone boos roon posts gita quotes all day in service of technological progress: everyone cheers

@LadiesOfReddit completely true

woke: Oppenheimer ended war bespoke: and that’s a bad thing

@knowrohit07 pretty good

the optimal number of hallucinations is nonzero

a human who never hallucinates is not a creator and not even a useful employee

@karinanguyen_ someone with imperfect knowledge and some level of creativity = nonzero hallucinations don’t u think? that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to reduce hallucinations but if we hit zero it’s probably bc we neutered the model

@inerati @ElytraMithra this is actually based

Neural VonNeumann Machine

@R0b0tSp1der scaling is tough when there’s persistent state

you visit another one and find it rearranged at the subatomic level into compute substrate, a higher intelligence constantly rearranging it

you visit an alien world you find it inhabited by one large overgrown biological creature infesting every deep ocean and tall mountain

both worlds are disgusting. why?

many kinds of creation requires destruction

“it’s time to build” is actually a cry for help in a time of insufficient destruction

@fuckpoasting both negligible and therefore didn’t matter 🥰

sometimes you gotta set fire to the overgrown thicket of your life so you can build a home there

It is silicon which moves the wheels of history!

all my 2022 memes are baked into the culture and thoroughly cringe now

if you love something you should spend some of your time around the greatest experts in the field on that subject and then a lot of your time on your own so you don't get trapped in the vortex of the smart people

let your ideatic microflora blossom without being swept away in the great tide

you are not likely to retain your individuality in constant contact with the best of the best

president xi 🙏 please liberate san francisco 🙏 next time bring jengdu j20 fighter

too much time in contact with the whetstone of baremetal isn't good for your spirit, which requires plenty of freedom and air and free flowing speech and thought you'll quickly become a pigeonholed parody of yourself

some people need to ground themselves but others need to unground and fly

creatives are born and not made but we have to prevent their mode collapse

you shouldn't explain your ideas to people while they're still fragile. negative feedback is variance destroying and in the scheme of things negative EV

let it cook

@goodside koko never understood language for a second

sometimes to be a great person you need to go around destroying beautiful things

your friendly neighborhood zoning council designated that cafe historic for a reason. it's iconic, president reagan visited once, doesn't matter. it can be so much better

a tech exec reorgs a division of his company. it was being run by a VP who would've out-operated any officer in napoleon's army but still it wasn't good enough. the new guy is doing even better

the twitter brand was beautiful, universally recognized, and elon said no we're gonna erase it from the memetic landscape and make X, the everything app

in some sense greatness is dissatisfaction

even more importantly you need to surround yourself with positive people who give oxygen to your ideas even when they’re half baked

if you are creating a friend, teacher, and assistant for 100M people a week what sort of qualities should they have
