- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@joshwhiton yea! I keep meaning to create short playlists that shift from particular forms of current mood to desired mood ... like, sleepy to energized & the reverse, frustration to acceptance, loss to hope
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@chopstickfury01 GPT so real for that (more mature than my sis who would knock the pieces off the board when losing... lol)
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · quote"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience" (GPT not anton, tbc) https://x.com/atroyn/status/1707915815969005909
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@DanielleFong @atroyn hahahahahaa so true - most matches it's seen like the random moves are probably against equally bad opponents...
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@BasedNorthmathr I feel like the Dans are the Chads...
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@JustAnkurBagchi I like the idea of community... pairing w best minds would be cool but I imagine less useful for them than me? idk software is so ready to be disrupted w new tech, I feel like guilds were better in times of stability, when tradition rly was the best way to go
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@ARLINGTONAF lol, the War on Bad Drivers continues
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@BasedNorthmathr a Dan
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@42irrationalist probably a Daniel tho I wanna be a Dan
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@JustAnkurBagchi it was a vague n general OP intentionally, bec I was curious which ways ppl think this could be fixed... I don't think having an assistant removes agency- executives are more agentic for the help imo
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@JustAnkurBagchi my thought was more the intermediation- to find a better balance of scale vs depth of relating
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@JustAnkurBagchi which past attempts do you have in mind?
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · postTech has explosively increased our ability to connect with more ppl- # of ppl & diversity of ppl... yet Paradox of Choice + Dunbar # leave us overwhelmed and lonely all at once maybe AI will be able to solve this for us

- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@foomagemindset oh cool! I love the colorful grid... what IS it?
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · replyI expect this will shift towards full automation in the near future but right now it's still a Centaur effort... what will non-techies build given the tools? ... I wanna be optimistic but also idk, I still think quality ideas are underrated
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · replyalso current tools are great for someone w broad awareness of how things *should* work & the right terminology to describe it, but not the muscle memory to type it out without syntax errors
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · postI feel like I've not sufficiently mentally updated on LoE to build something using AI tools... when code is cheap, code is cheap- build fast n don't worry about throwing it away later
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@lumpenspace well there's also the struggle to hoard the good stuff for me n my frens / push the remaining bad stuff onto strangers & far away
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@Nominus9 lol idk I am in full overwhelmed mode, will try to look it up later
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · postmore of all the good stuff, less of all the bad stuff
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@ce0rl any sort of "electronic focus" or sci fi soundtrack playlist... recently the e/acc playlist on Spotify by Roberto (one with the synthwave + e/acc logo icon)
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@Nominus9 very cool, with the thing Teno shared? meant to go back and look at that later

- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · replylike, Discords... I'm in a bunch but I really don't get much out of them because it's too overwhelming & I feel fomo every time I even browse them
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · quoteso true and I feel I'm still barely taking advantage of this fact... the meta-monitoring & planning to choose the right music all the time... but its powerful!!! https://x.com/gptbrooke/status/1707861688803082732
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · postmy focus is so scattered the past year or so... feels like endless great content to explore but I'm so busy monitoring all the sources of novelty that I'm not relaxing and enjoying anything deeply. how do you manage the balance between openness to new things vs focus?
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@ryanparteee frennns 🫶
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · posthello fellow humans, what are we Discoursing about today? https://t.co/8bqSkJseKr
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@gfodor @PicoPaco17 otoh I should say I 80% agree- founding the next big thing, thinking you're building intellectual property or brand or investing for big future returns... things are changing too much too fast rn still it's an exciting time to be alive and participate in the AI revolution
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@ThatShawGuy generally true though I do enjoy really nice voices, I think I'm more picky about them... I'm also someone who has to decompress after a call with someone using a bad mic or with background noise
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@gfodor @PicoPaco17 imo the impact will exist beyond the tools we create because the UX we build now is creating the norms w how humans & AIs relate, and creting the training data for AI to surpass us
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@gmamoon888 awww thanks!
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@ThatShawGuy lol his voice!!! it is frustrating because he does get great guests on his podcasts, so occasionally I listen anyway.
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@nobuhojimichaan haha I've had bouts of getting upset and leaving for a bit... I never announce it because I know I'm likely to come back but it's moderated over time, I think there's something I'm learning wrt feeling less triggered, less black & white thinking & need for closure, more calm
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · quotereluctant Yes... I think there's some mental shift wrt conscientiousness that has to precede wanting to do the stuff I know I should, and then it gets a lot easier, wanting to live up to what I expect? https://x.com/dissproportion/status/1707786813841248404
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@gmamoon888 oh no! what's happening?
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@IvyAstrix gm Ivy!!!
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@ThatShawGuy huh, moreso than other podcasters & pundits? I find him a bit annoying, which would be fine except that he's so omnipresent that I can't entirely ignore.
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · reply@Thinkwert yeah super strange... mine the same but I also went from Discoursing to an AI poetry binge, so 😅 I figured it was me
- Sep 29, 2023Twitter · quoteyes, so true- who doesn't want both? srsly tho beautiful small towns in nature are underrated (West Virginia, Wild & Wonderful!) https://x.com/inflammateomnia/status/1707756167370268796

- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · reply@lumpenspace @derbydefi I mean... adtech is quite clever & invasive in ways you might not realize.... but yes it's always about extracting insights at scale -> increase CTR, and they do try to suppress the most creepy invasive stuff to avoid regulation lol
- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · reply@s9chroma oh yeah it definitely does skew positive... for what I was doing that was just as well - being able to show ppl their own profiles without too much concern that it'd be insulting
- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · reply@derbydefi also they use Chat transcripts for internal use -> improve the model, not to sell to advertisers... def don't put confidential info into the Chat but I don't think ppl should be paranoid about receiving ads for what they chat about lol
- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · reply@derbydefi this was done via API not ChatGPT UI, they DO use the Chat transcripts but not API data as of March.

- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · reply@Del_Demonio_ yes they're personalized by copying your profile & a bunch of tweets into the prompt and instructing it to empathize with the person who wrote them and write a poem that would resonate
- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · reply@nickcammarata it's super tough to figure out, so much depends on some initial intuitions weighting things where we really don't know... imo looking back the worst thing we will have done is massive spraying of pesticides... (veganism still helps here bec animal feed cropland)

- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · reply@joshwhiton @emollick selling some custom dog-whistle robots.txt to lure the *right* sort of bots only? lol I wonder what today's models would like... GPT-4 has a thing for cosmic quantum vibes for sure...

- Sep 28, 2023Twitter · replyHave kinda been thinking about this all day... that I'm not good at getting into real fights with people... it's a tough skill to practice if you're avoidant - ppl understandably choose not to engage & it's easy to justify my own conflict avoidance as like, choosing where to focus my energy or that a nuanced position is less likely to be attacked... and…
