- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@speakerjohnash buy what, like a house?
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@pfitzart 🤣 I mean, I guess so.... I'd be concerned that the visibility & news coverage would make homeless ppl vulnerable to thieves, and that some would spend it on drugs & OD, and that the increased violence & ODs would lead to a police crackdown on the area...
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@prerationalist haha yes I think all the "delegate & defer it" are probably the right answer but I'm more curious about the end goal than the "wish for more wishes" leverage-maxxing along the way. What sort of AI stuff? like more funding for training bigger LLMs?
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@pfitzart lmao would you really do that? I feel like it could lead to a lot of suffering... or is it about your own amusement watching ppl scramble for it?
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@MasterTimBlais @prerationalist haha so funding wireheading basically?
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF a lot of cheap land is tough because of no access roads or insufficient water rights, often both of which are used to block subdivision of the land / building multifamily housing
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@prerationalist if you'd fund research to prove a particular hypothesis that's more interesting... which one? what sort of expertise would you hire for? where would you have them work?
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@MasterTimBlais @prerationalist I am interested in speculation as to which actual goods & services that would lead to happiness- like, if you'd spend it on paying salaries it's gotta be more specific than "solve the problem for me"
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@prerationalist lol this is still delegating the decision!!! I want ppl to guess what might work, not come up w clever ways to avoid answering
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@hopes_revenge where & for whom?
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · postif you could go back and increase one genetic trait for yourself which would it be?
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · postHow would you *spend* $100M to maximize human happiness? To make it interesting, you're not allowed to defer the decision- no paying off debt, no generic investing for future returns or saving for tbd emergencies, no handing it over to someone else to decide.
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@Cererean this is why I think our tribe of lizard men need to win + impose some cultural change somehow, if we want to reduce violence
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@Cererean other than the poor donkey who ran afoul of the lizard men
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@Cererean hah true but playing my character, she's distraught that she blundered into another fight and it ended w ppl dead... contemplating peacemaking not just avoiding blame
- Sep 10, 2023Twitter · reply@nickcammarata imo diagnostics / a GPS for where you're *at* would make it easier ... a lot of the advice is contextual- like being guided thru a maze blindfolded, turning right sometimes unlocks progress and other times you walk into a wall but ppl insist "turning right worked for me!"

- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@eigenrobot I feel like Quakers are pretty sincere believers, even as we're a bunch of hippies who don't believe in hierarchy or religious ritual... it's community with shared values- for socializing & fun, for working on causes, for spiritual discussion groups and peer support

- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@eshear @PrinceVogel I mean obvs the phone screen is still flat but to me the red pops forward as if it's floating above the blue, like a button with a drop shadow floats on top of the background
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel I found the disdainful comments about Ketamine pretty ironic, all things considered...
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@tasshinfogleman lol and half the time it is paywalled
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@tasshinfogleman mine will text me three times and call twice all within an hour and when I pick up and ask what's wrong it's like, "oh, I was just curious what you thought about that gardening article I emailed you yesterday?"
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@Yampeleg we are all Beff Jezos 🫡
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@rainbowheart34 that for all that we want to be equal, we aren't- that intelligence & emotional stability & physical strength & health & etc are not distributed equally and DO matter for life outcomes, individually and collectively - living in a high trust, healthy, productive society is preferable; being healthy and capable and high EQ and happy is…
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@UubzU yeah- I try to keep up w the treadmill but am irritated by ppl culture-warring over which words to use because it's all a distraction from talking about the underlying problems
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · postthere's a treadmill of inventing new words to replace words that describe an underlying reality we don't want to acknowledge. bickering over how fast to go and castigating those who fall off the back of it are great distractions from actually engaging with the hard problems.
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@a_musingcat isn't intentional dissociation the process that is supposed to lead to enlightenment?
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF sigh idk why you're arguing with me about this- it's a horrible answer and yes I completely blame businesses who profit from workers being scared of deportation
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF if we're not paying enough to cover the cost of production then yeah the prices should go up. if it's essential enough then the outcry over prices may create tax subsidies to pull resources from elsewhere in the economy to pay for it
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF perhaps less of it, or competitive fears are overstated and prices should be raised. tbh I agree w you abt the immigration situation- two classes of laborers, one w no recourse to the law, is not a just situation
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@YeshuaisSavior @MikePFrank @AISafetyMemes @sporadicaai @elder_plinius @argosopentech @TheZvi @sama which book?
- Sep 9, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF I think your framing has some assumptions in it- if you can't pay more or you won't "stay competitive" the the market is telling you it doesn't actually "need doing"

- Sep 8, 2023Twitter · reply@derbydefi I don't know what "this" is particularly
- Sep 8, 2023Twitter · posthow do you acknowledge a negative feeling without reinforcing and prolonging it? thinking "I feel sad" seems to make things worse but so does trying to avoid thinking it

- Sep 8, 2023Twitter · reply@gwern within the context of a paper that defines the acronym yes it could mean bipolar, but in general usage borderline is primary definition. i suppose it would be more accurate to explain that while it *can* mean bipolar, this usage is confusing and can lead to conversations where people are talking about two different disorders with overlapping…
