off twitter for 5 months bc it made me feel an undercurrent of scattered unease & general screen fatigue what’d I miss!

now that tech guys of williamsburg know about chatgpt working at cafés without headphones is insufferable … it’s like hearing a boring ai-transforming-industry-hype thread … but out loud 😫

journalism has fact-checkers, marketing needs cringe-checkers™️
Saw an ad for a radio app with the tagline “music picked by real humans” I already see it every so often, but sensing “by real humans” will be the next“authentic” or “locally produced” trendy ad-speak in AI times
what if I tweeted “be the vibe shift you wish to see in the world” haha
date me doc this, date me doc that, why don’t you all just make western style wanted posters for your ideal partner and offer bounties

life is lineages of information propagating through and structuring material reality.
This is who you make weird eye contact with when you’re looking for a place to sit in McCarren park on a warm day
Current physics places all information about what happens into an initial condition and deterministic law as its mathematical frame, it cannot ever fully account for the origin or process of evolution because it is evolution that generates information in the physical world…
Features of reality appear “physical” to us if they are smaller in time than we are, and appear “abstract” if they are larger - we can unify concepts of matter and information if time is a material property
The rationalist urge to deflate things like meaning/emotion/god/magic to well-documented phenomena like brain networks & biases…has an edge of the desperate to it
In 1977, media prophet Marshall McLuhan discussed CIA and FBI surveillance, and then turned it into one of the most mind-bending riffs on identity in the digital age I've ever heard.
I asked 499 people who were sure they *hadn't* experienced ego death, and 436 ppl who were sure they *had*, to rate 97 images on which ones they thought best represented ego death. Here's the top images disproportionately rated as egodeathy by ppl who *hadn't* had ego death 1/
Refusing to buy Elif Batuman's Either/Or in the UK because the cover is so awful (especially compared to how good the American cover, on the right below, is!)

Any jobs that require mediocre essays can now, *in real life*, be done with ChatGPT assistance! Students who use ChatGPT to generate essays are *realistically* showing they can handle the mediocre-essay-writing jobs for which modern universities are vigorously training them.
what if instead of rats being everywhere there were frogs? i am such a dreamer
I’ve got a lot of thoughts here but the biggest thing to keep in mind is that if 10% of the developed worlds population were EAs, then we would be funding this project
Timnit Gebru brings up a really important issue here: the Effective Altruism (EA) community might be making global poverty worse, or at least perpetuating it, by failing to recognize the importance of empowering those in extreme poverty themselves. A short 🧵.
So, when Dr. Gebru talks about "white saviorism," it's not, so far as I understand the criticism, about white people *helping others*. It's about white people *thinking they know better than those actually living in extreme poverty about how to do good*. x.com/timnitgebru/st…
@EigenGender @xriskology They always looked at “the global poor” as objects of their charity—not collaborators or people with agency. I had that exact vibe way back when when I heard about EA & rolled my eyes so hard. Not like what it has become now, but the premise was always rooted in white saviorism.
Things we might hear if EA was into radical honestly, 1/3: "Sorry we've got drunk with FTX money. At the time, we thought rapid expansion was worth it. We ask for caution and understanding while we get over the hangover."
Oh my god, I'm speechless. The pledge that Nathan Young and I started has raised a *quarter of a million dollars* for @GiveDirectly. I really have no words. I'm completely overwhelmed with gratitude (saying this hardly comes close to expressing my feelings here). <3 <3 <3
@xriskology @GiveDirectly I know you are all putting in a sterling effort, but currently we are only 0.03% towards our funding goal. How can we reach it?
Christmas is a time of peace and gift giving. @xriskology and I are putting aside our differences to give to the poorest people in the world, via @GiveDirectly. Perhaps you'll join us. givingwhatwecan.org/fundraisers/em…
