- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@iamsharmi_ @allgarbled oh true, the Jains have a good perspective on this!
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@allgarbled still eat plants with renewed energy to end animal agriculture as all the livestock are fed via the death of many many more plants than would be killed by equivalent production of plant protein. also push way harder for permaculture.
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk ah, haha I think of politics more like ecology - webs of relationships seeking dynamic equilibrium & if you push here everything connected reacts and fights back
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · postmen might be thinking of war, women just wna ensure the flow of pumpkin spice is not interrupted
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@mynamebedan @megs_io I agree big picture but am curious how we get there & what it looks like in more detail?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk what underlying rot in particular? what would you change with a magic wand?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk I'll stick to my incremental wins while opposing big complex risky changes yes!
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk yeah I might... my issues are not really a coherent movement, more like technocratic tweaks, I want things to be efficient & transparent & for decisions to be well informed of the actual impacts of the policy change.
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@max_paperclips @megs_io lol, I am so curious about AI governance systems... and not the cr*pto mechanics but like, how would they work to improve public policy?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@megs_io what would the more effective AI-driven system look like? if this is a race we should be hustling!
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@max_paperclips @megs_io that would be cool! how would you do that?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk my MOM otoh... lmao, campaigned for her friend the mayor entirely thru her overactive social life
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk heh, I have a bit of a conflict there - I run a precinct as election officer, so very strictly no opinion on Election Day :)
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk lol I have had a different experience, idk how to compare notes here, but like... ppl talk, narratives shift, board members try to keep in the center of local opinion
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk lol, I'm mostly thinking of myself here, that the sooner I get on w this & share w like-minded neighbors the more impact I'll have before everyone is sending LLM-polished letters to their representatives on hair-trigger alert and the impact goes back to status quo
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk I read them sporadically & do some of the many surveys, sometimes comment on the local news stories, occasionally write a letter about the things I care most about, but it's super un-systematic vs what should be possible w a bit of integration & prompting.....
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk hm, to be specific I live in Arlington, VA.. there's a lot of committees & commissions publishing reports, advocacy groups sending emails, the monthly board meeting transcripts, the local news that reports on local politics & issues, local nonprofit newsletters...
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@megs_io *effective* acceleration would propose better solutions imo- I don't want to live in the Sudan
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BishPlsOk I'm thinking more as an individual than an org / business... like, I know locally I can provide feedback and it moves the needle a bit, but I don't keep up with everything all the time... LLMs could read all the incoming stream of info to summarize & focus on what I care abt?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@nickcammarata my answer is civilization has created an informational environment VERY out of sync with the one in which we evolved - we're missing our subconscious safety signals, we're overwhelmed by complexity & choice & need to plan ahead, we're dealing with unprecedented social dynamics
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · postwho's been e/acc-ing the existing political system? I feel negligent... should be using an LLM to keep track of what's going on vs. what I care about to help me send the most impactful letters, sigh.
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@rarelyquinn I mean the original poll asked about intellectual attraction & physical attraction, given the lack of more specific options it could mean a lot of things... but lack of mental/emotional compatibility doesn't get a lot of attention and unsure what would need to change
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@rarelyquinn and what is the solution, in your opinion?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · replyhmphhhh, v1 botsonality is all-in on UBI... needs more tuning than just "abundance via markets & tech"
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@will_from_mars_ also the ramp up imo will take quite a few years to get to the point where 8 billion humans all experience abundance... atoms are harder than bits, everything takes time & the whole supply chain has to grow, we have to work out new land use policies - datacenters here at us-east-1 are being slowed down by local complaints about noise and…
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@will_from_mars_ I don't buy literal zero, there are costs other than labor & the robots themselves are not zero cost to maintain.
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@jrhwood lol, I'm probably getting a great deal w how much I use ChatGPT, but yeah it's not really mapped to usage
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@flybottlemist @gptbrooke @mechanical_monk lol maybe I'm too wary of August visitors complaining about the heat & humidity... w camping & no AC & partying, sounds uncomfy
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@flybottlemist @gptbrooke @mechanical_monk lol well it was over 100 deg a few weeks ago... it's variable but yeah unpredictable & narrow window between swamp humidity & cold-dreary
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@jrhwood Yep, plus API bills 😅😅😅😅
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@losslandscape I get it tho - my desire exceeds reach - but like, there's a cutoff where it just isn't working, don't feel it
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · postone thing I wish I understood better is the actual cost of inference and what it'll look like in the future as supply has time to catch up with demand and models are further optimized per use case... rn pricing is like early days of Uber or the scooter craze, who knows
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@foomagemindset lol, I think that one is more a personality trait / family influence, I'm frequently holding back on questions bec they put a burden on the person i ask.... is why I love LLMs, endless answers (up to rate limit sigh)
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@crumbraven_ lol, at least, on a scale of 1 to 7 they're saying it's a 5 or below problem
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@roboticparts yeah I think it means kinda all the stuff that's more mental vs the physical attraction question
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@foomagemindset haha yes that one I did remember :)
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · posttrying to prompt an altera-ethics botsonality that matches my perspective rather than gpt-standard-fretting... and my mind went blank on what I believe, ofc... what do you think are my core beliefs?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@NickADobos average is a useful perspective too... tho I agree chatgpt is suboptimal for therapist bot... how are you doing your fine tuning- just collecting best chat transcripts to feed back in?
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@BecomingCritter yeah, mental attractiveness can be a lot of things... is just interesting gap vs what guys seem to most often work on when they feel frustrated w their dating prospects
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · quote🙏 grateful to Mike for explaining some of the physical constraints on foom https://x.com/MikePFrank/status/1707150773635944704

- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@ashleydzhang mostly the first I think? blame more the wide open realm of possibilities vs need to start small & build consistency

- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@lumpenspace @primalpoly lol yes; those of us not so well endowed w sanity are well advised to avoid and I wish it were more widely understood why someone like me should not drink the poison of philosophy
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@wordcellular lol yes, that's implicit in what I said... I assume fighting w them would be worse and the Mute click at least is a reminder that this is someone who brings up wrathful emotions... otoh blocking entirely would lose the opportunity to engage w myself on why I find them triggering
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@yacineMTB lol I wonder what the encoded message was hmmmm
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@tjrwriting still - if it's something they don't care about why not leave it at status quo? there must have been a motivating factor?

- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@crumbraven_ lmao yeah it sounds arrogant... I meant it more as echo chamber concern- that I'm not creating context that invites more diversity of perspectives & styles
- Sep 27, 2023Twitter · reply@tjrwriting so you're saying this is about a moat between those who pay for private vs the most capable students who's parents don't?
