- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@vaporous_ford Something about the Musk Rule that “the most absurd way things can play out is most likely to come true” inspires my imagination…Archive text may be incomplete
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@VoterScumbag Nooo I’m sorry! Has happened to me too designing systems based on clients *insisting* on certain assumptions… inevitably no that security rule can’t be waived, the data does not actually exist, the users do not in fact want it to work that way, etc…Archive text may be incomplete
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@vaporous_ford lol yeah… everyone had some kind of weird instinctive reaction to Elon buying Twitter… mine was somehow to see it as a creative writing prompt 😅
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · posthttps://xkcd.com/1741 https://t.co/hPgjf6VgBF
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · postI have this theory that Twitter accounts have mirror-image “twins” on the opposite side of the sim cluster… if they ever collide the resulting tweetstorm would take down Twitter… so the algorithm keeps us all carefully segmented and oblivious of our anti-tweeter
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@Lucifersmith420 Ha I’m partially rooting for twitter’s downfall because I’m helpless against my addiction
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@Lucifersmith420 Yeppp, truly my only online vice

- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · postWatching Elon figure out a new industry by trial-and-err is like watching AI training… starts off incredibly clumsy but just when you’ve written it off, it hits its stride and rapidly improves beyond normie ability
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@allgarbled “The Western Screech-Owl plays host to a surprising houseguest: blind snakes—worm-like reptiles that dwell underground—that the owls ferry, live, back to their nests.”
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@notoriousdmm Lmaoooooo have I ever

- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@informed_welder @samswoora I’ve realized that a small townhouse plus cabin together are cheaper than many SFHs in my neighborhood
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@informed_welder @samswoora Why not both? (Two homes)
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@elonmusk Wish I could 😭 preorder still on the waitlist
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@CineraVerinia Imo the problem w longtermism (accurate prediction of distant future) is potentially solvable by a Superintelligence… so developing ASI seems like a prerequisite to practical longtermism
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@YogaFanGG Hardest truth?
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@xdianalandx @sailaunderscore “on the right track”? What does Diana *know*?
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@allgarbled Let’s ask the audience! Does Gabe look like his pfp?
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@billyhumblebrag @DvnnyyPhantom @BasedBeffJezos Wild speculation, but given political donations maybe he thought he could influence the way Elon handles media & moderation on Twitter?
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@_holyweather It is time for neovictorian abundance cult frfr
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@hi_frye @twofifteenam well not quite for no reason, for affection! 🫶
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@emnode @adamrisom e/acc is intentionally unstructured and welcomes variety of ideologies, believe in Doing the Thing directly and attracting support with competence and hard work rather than traditional elite credentialism
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@emnode @adamrisom Believe in accelerating technological progress and capital formation to increase abundance of goods & services and support the propagation of consciousness / intelligence… skeptical of Big Planning in favor of decentralized market signals, iteration, and emergent collaboration
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · quoteYep as an outsider this is my take… not that there’s zero reason for concern, but AI safety discourse includes enough unhinged panic that I don’t trust their conclusions https://x.com/jachiam0/status/1591494132324769796
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@robinhanson There’s a lot of marginally bad behavior that gets handled privately / doesn’t seem worth involving justice system, but as a repeated pattern is quite corrosive to social trust
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@robinhanson Not that I’ve heard but I’ve had the same idea… using crypto to publicly log hashes and determine when to release the accused’s identity
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@twofifteenam @allgarbled Party in Gabe’s replies! 🎉🎊🥳
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@allgarbled Sooo, do you agree with the feedback that you look eerily similar to your pfp?

- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@allgarbled Move to separate chair and cross my arms
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@growing_daniel Sure 🫶
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · reply@goth600 Bipolar over-eager association / creative synthesis… also ability to focus for long periods of time with lots of context, if sufficiently engaged and tuning out interruptions
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · replyAlso… if you’ve ever managed a team of volunteers… ppl take things more seriously when they’re being paid a commensurate salary… “I’m doing this out of the goodness of my heart” attitude can fuck up operational efficiency like nothing else
- Nov 12, 2022Twitter · quoteAgree w the main point, but disagree w the “Lawful Good person who works on charitable cause should take a low salary” assumption… like, money is a signal to attract high quality labor, pay market rate and be Good by donating your salary as a separate transaction https://x.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1591342343978115072

- Nov 11, 2022Twitter · reply@AuBeauMilieu Lmao I knitted them all myself and none cost that much for the materials!

- Nov 11, 2022Twitter · reply@redoatz Yeah, it’s hard to show in a video clip but mostly she prowls around doing her thing… unless I put on opera or certain other songs and then she orients herself to the speaker, lays down, and taps her tail to the music

- Nov 11, 2022Twitter · reply@InvisibIeyeball @Duderichy @creatine_cycle Yeah I can see that… seems ideal knowledge work UX would be immersive VR with variety of full body movements at meditative speed?
- Nov 11, 2022Twitter · reply@dialecticwoes @creatine_cycle maximizing one thing is at the expense of something else- can’t lift your heaviest at the same time you’re at your best for weight-bearing endurance sports at the same time as you’re supple for sports requiring flexibility at the same time as you’re stable for accurate shooting
- Nov 11, 2022Twitter · reply@Duderichy @creatine_cycle Is that truly the minimum time required? Or is there a way to do it at lower intensity while focusing on work? Or while sleeping somehow?

- Nov 11, 2022Twitter · reply@gmamoon888 I think information flowed so much more slowly that you had time to ponder and update on any new datapoint… information scarcity vs information overload
