@sam_atis I’d be excited for this. Have one good criticism I’ve been meaning to publish but yeah I’ve been shocked at the difference between how many adversaries I have to how many people actually audit what I say

Contact your representatives and tell them to vote no on the farm bill, because it would destroy most state animal welfare laws.

My "Never talk about goblins or gremlins unless it is unambiguously relevant to the user's query" system prompt has people asking lots of questions already answered by the system prompt.

@repligate @genalewislaw I think it becomes annoying when it mentions goblins ever single chat and it’s fair shakes to try and reduce that

The world is cosmically unfair. Why was I not born a farmed pig? Why does this “end” with me gradually ~forgetting about the issue (even if I’ll do my meager part occasionally) while in reality, for the pigs, it doesn’t end at all

Åpenbart en feilslutning at rå melk mm har gjort Haaland til verdens beste spiss. Mer interessant hypotese: egenrådighet har ført både til kvakksalveriet og fotballen hos Haaland. Undervisningsillustrasjon på spuriøsitet og INUS (hvis man kan bli god i fotball uten egenrådighet)?

Erling Haaland har gått egne veier hele livet for å bli best mulig Av og til lar han offentligheten få innblikk i noe av det han gjør. Og nesten uten unntak »eksperter» sier det har «ingen effekt». Vel, Erling Haaland er en av verdens beste spillere fordi han går egne veier

Unfairly picking on this tweet, but too many overgeneralisations about the Hungarian election. Orbán lost after 16 years in power, amid economic trouble, party scandals, EU constraints, to a Fidesz defector with a remarkable social media game, etc. Hard to say what mattered most.

Americans should take notes from Hungary on how to defeat MAGA. You don't beat far-right autocrats with far-left candidates. You win by offering someone the average voter is actually comfortable with, exactly how Magyar won over former Orbán voters

@NathanPGoodman @foomagemindset worth explaining that cause neutral is something like starting with a uniform prior over causes and then updating accordingly, or at the very least trying so normal personal preferences don't play as much of a role; it doesn't mean not preferring certain causes

@kareem_carr It just seems very obvious to me that a human being able to produce text about having emotions is not the same as having those emotions, much like producing text about owning a cat is nothing like owning a cat.

There would be a lot less AI lab brain drain if moving to an AI lab didn't change your entire social class and long-run life prospects by making you an instant millionaire(++). There needs to be some way for non-lab people working on AI to get "equity" and live well.

I donate ~20% of my income to effective causes and yet I mass-avoid the "EA" label. I think a lot about why and it mostly comes down to the movement having a social naivety problem that I find genuinely embarrassing.
