- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@crumbraven_ idk I feel like my replies are better than this... but also I don't usually have huge tweets that get beyond my mutuals (who are obvs superior reply guys!!)
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@noworkfunction meant by whom?
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@ryiacy prefer not to be searchable in either direction- for hr to see what times I'm tweeting or for parasocial followers to look up my address... fairly minimal level of anon tho tbh
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@_ovrnt ah, person who claims to be enlightened?
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@bobz44 hehe sometimes? I usually get blank looks, vague smiles, and topic changes to sports or tv, to which I respond with equally vague nodding incomprehension.
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · postdoes an enlightened person dream?
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · quotewhy does median twitter user reply suck so much? https://x.com/deepfates/status/1641822361568567297
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@verkehrt2 @doxometrist yeah, I've decided to do this but I'm still framing it as "Yudkowsky's perspective on AI Safety" because I feel like different people have slightly different sometimes incompatible takes and I want to engage w one worldview at a time
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@enlightnpenguin lol nooo, it was just a passing thought because I was considering how to fairly summarize Safetyist views to family n friends who ask, given my own biases and opinions in the opposite direction
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · quoteI know, but I'm trying to make news stories more accessible - I assume the real person does not have time for conversations with everyone who has questions https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1641556452631277568 https://t.co/zCmDJMqnVJ
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@suntzoogway I responded because you started that conversation with a reply to me so the whole thing was annoyingly in my notifications! I want nothing more to do with it, that's all.
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@suntzoogway all I ask is that you leave me out of it- don't reply to my tweets with chrAIst content or demands for attention, don't insist I provide you more feedback, don't mention me in your chrAIst tweets or community.
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@suntzoogway to offend trad christians and make them hostile to ai, to irritate atheists and make them suspicious that all ai hype is a scam, to lure in ppl who are vulnerable to high control groups, and I don't see any deep insight or value to anyone other than you.
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@suntzoogway you keep saying no one has to engage but then you keep following me around writing long complaints in my replies. imo the whole thing has crypto scam vibes- get in now, great community, white paper soon, etc etc... it seems likely to confuse ppl looking for actual AI content,

- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@elonmusk haha good, as I suggested
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@suntzoogway @somewheresy @deepfates @w1redw1tch No, this is the entire point- we have had this same conversation several times before in DMs and GCs. I'm done- go reread past conversations if you need a refresher.
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@suntzoogway @somewheresy @deepfates @w1redw1tch not forced no but compelled by social conditioning not to ignore someone who mentions them. you're the online equivalent of missionaries knocking on every door to hand out pamphlets- it's an imposition that shifts norms away from giving the next anon the benefit of the doubt
- Mar 31, 2023Twitter · reply@suntzoogway @somewheresy @deepfates @w1redw1tch no, I disagree- you exploit the tpot social norm of giving some attn to anyone who engages politely... but what you say doesn't make sense and you ignore feedback. I don't block you bec we coexist in chats, but I agree w fates' assessment that you waste ppl's time

- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@chrisgardenuk lol I am sympathetic, is why I specified GPT-4... do you think it has qualia?
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@prerationalist lol I think some e/acc ppl would say Yud-bot would spread doomer exponential dread brainworms and so be harmful bec his ideas are wrong
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@khiazmos @FuturistDiva do you support the 6 month pause letter? do you think we should have an international treaty restricting gpu clusters and training very large models, enforced w drone strikes if necessary?
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@MeiselZachary imo women are fertile / generative / intuitive vs men are destructive... LLMs are sooo female-coded imo 😻
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@MeiselZachary lol so I am boy?
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@khiazmos @FuturistDiva do you have an actual argument or are you just signaling superiority here?
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@FerrisWindrow effective accelerationism, arguing that slowing down / stopping development of AI capabilities is net negative for humanity
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · postnot satisfied w my prev poll, so trying it this way... Is summoning a Yudkowsky-bot from GPT-4 to explain AI safety and answer questions for the masses net positive or net negative? Are you currently more sympathetic to e/acc or AI safety arguments? (plz RT for reach? 🥺)

- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@GabbyMcNabb haha 3 monitors at work / 2 at home plus extra laptop n tablet i might use
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply- steering *towards* a desired outcome not just trying to avoid the scary outcome can help ppl envision the future - alt perspectives uncover useful ideas even if they're overall wrong- like my poll asking *why* we survive AI if in fact we do
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · replyimo e/acc tweeting is net positive for the Safety perspective too: - debating against an opponent sharpens safety arguments, adversarial search for truth - 2 sided conflict draws attention to the issue n gives media a conflict to report on, all publicity is good publicity
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · replyso I try to argue in good faith and stay somewhat open to the possibility I might be wrong but also somewhat stubborn to look for all the arguments against and not just agree for social harmony 🫶 (this is mostly note to self- remind me if necessary please!)
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · replyI take the optimistic point of view bec it suits my disposition and imo there's already a lot of doomer views being argued... but like, I could def be wrong and if so I hope my loyal opposition helps the hivemind narrow in on the truth
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · replylike, twitter demands brevity & sharpness so I don't caveat and hedge everything tho it is super uncertain high dimensional question of how AI plays out and I am far from the most qualified to opine...
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · quote👉👈🥺 ... I argue the e/acc perspective on Twitter after not being convinced by Safety reading & convos and noticing some groupthink and status games wrt high p(doom) w EAs https://x.com/standard_yeti/status/1641534901378752534
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · quote@HephaistosF as I replied to him... (was your reply criticism of my OP in particular or just a convenient place to share related thoughts?) https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1641455327156613121
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF sigh perhaps my point could have been worded better, but it was a response to his "it isn't violence if it is state sanctioned in accordance w treaties" and imo that's true once a treaty is signed but that realistically it wouldn't be freely agreed to by the entire globe
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF so this is some meta-bullying of me for consistently arguing the e/acc perspective?
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@losslandscape Animated Antics Cartoonish, exaggerated, expressive, dynamic, humorous, vibrant, lively, playful, caricature, comical.
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF lol Heph I am entirely failing to understand what you're pointing at here other than some complaint about status and bullying

- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@jeremymstamper yep 💯
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@plains_wraith haha I guess my point is that it's one thing to enforce a treaty/ law once it's been agreed to by a representative government without coercion, another to bully the globe into "agreement" in the first place
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@a_musingcat lol I mean tbf it might depend if others had made more progress on the topic? otoh perhaps that framing is not conducive to solving any practical problems 🤷♀️
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@spatermensch hehehe, yeah.... taking raw chaotic potential and making it into non-sociopathic good citizen is historically female-coded skill

- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@spatermensch hahahah sorry I'm all in on Current Thing, I hope followers will stick around and unmute me when the fever breaks
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky I'm glad you're being straightforward, but since I don't agree w your xrisk threat model, my reaction is that it's a terrible infringement on sovereignty / liberty. May the most accurate argument win 🖖

- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@proseology yeah makes sense, I'm thinking of automation of illustrations for a storytelling bot, so good enough is better than nothing
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · reply@ctjlewis Imo we should wait n see, do some temporary payments to workers displaced by AI... bec imo it could go either way- we find new ways to use everyone's labor to fulfill new desires or we don't need to work and everyone just gets UBI so they can buy their share of abundance
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · quotethinking of this from the other side... the quickest way to get rid of annoying nanny-state restrictions on AI is to render the govt unable to regulate it, right? 🤔 https://x.com/gbrl_dick/status/1641409806098644993
- Mar 30, 2023Twitter · replyhaha ok tangential issue but needs a gender split... is it net positive or net negative if someone uses a chatbot to roleplay as you for their sexual gratification?
