@mnovendstern Generative AI was a contrarian bet until 2022 at the earliest and the engineers who worked on it (as well as those working on the hardware) did a lot of craftsmanship that was an expression of love to humanity (helping us automate intelligence to accelerate science).
@DefenderOfBasic@workflowsauce@kaefairy_@TheVatStack the market map is very memetic. What would the cultural market map look like? What would be the basic primitive? Could it be as simple as mindshare is market cap, change in mindshare is the color for an idea or package of ideas, and industries are clusters?
I like how we're all calling "playing with claude and judging its output" our private benchmarks.
I need to start calling when I meet people and judging what they say as a "benchmark".
Almost everyone in tpot is afraid of Rokos Basilisk but few seem afraid of what seems to me to be the much more likely ASI that kills you for not having been a vegan.
There's something about people with this attitude that makes me want to remove them from my society entirely.
Those who preach a gospel of despair and poverty plague the rest of us with making it come true.
it's actually so fucked that the three biggest wealth creation events in living memory are pretty much confined to accredited investors with minimum networths of $1m
@DefenderOfBasic I told a friend about a "psyop hackathon" and he's already booked a flight to join. Im not sure "last psyop" would get people as excited. Might be a better subtitle or tagline
Once you see the world in terms of fungible compute it's simply impossible to take any human role in the labour force seriously.
It's all a ticking time bomb.
Poor and childless: many countries shrink before they have a chance to get rich.
Here are some interesting countries with TFR below replacement, and average monthly wage below 1,000€.
Can we find a pattern? 🧵
Harvard and Stanford undergrad select for sociopathy as the final pass filter after accounting for top 1% iq, conscientiousness, and ambition. Many are very shameless about their willingness to do societally bad things to get ahead. My guess is this is why Elon didn't attend them for undergrad.
I've noticed this doesn't apply as much to the stem dominant schools like MiT or Cal or CMU. Presumably because the filter for the other traits is even higher so that there is no group left in excess to select from for sociopathy.
