A full read of this article and itâs clear that Europe is less than a decade away from becoming a no-go zone. âSuicidal empathyâ is not just a meme. And the young women in Vienna will be the largest contingent of innocent victims of this cultural collapse

So today I learned about Tish going scorched earth after being harassed. Interesting and timely personal anecdote, I just learned that some LGB friends of mine (located in the NY-NJ area) attended a secret meeting last weekend to discuss the Tâs. They summarized the topic as:
Had a chance to have a conversation with Senator Weiner. It was an honest one. I am hopeful that this is the first of many conversations we will have regarding womenâs safety . Senator Weiner said he likes working with fresh young people and that he is open to ideas. And

I need a phrase that describes a variant of AI psychosis from a highly academically-trained coworker who has begun offloading logic to the LLMs, trading thought and validation for speed and slop.

I read the whole thing. The one prognostication I hope heâs right about: âNew archetypes will emerge: warriors and caretakers of existence. People who are defiant of death, and view self-destruction as primitive and low-status. Who take the continuation of human existence as
Ok, here is my trip report from 4.67 grams of magic mushrooms, 24.9 mg of psilocybin. The dose used in modern clinical trials. First, the experience was exhilarating. Positive in every way. I felt like a kid finding and exploring a new playground. My sensory perception was

Iâm saying this tongue-in-cheek, but this is the truth: âŠ@OpenAIâ© will happily spend the statistical value of a life (SVL), times 7, pay about $50 million, and laugh at how little 7 suicides actually cost. Satire: We have to beat China.

The biggest problem with AI, is that weâre training AI to be really really good at teaching people how to build their own AI. This is literally like leaning over into the abyss, not just staring into it, and trying to learn about what it might be, but jumping in headfirst.

The hubris of computer science knows no bounds.
AI Consciousness, qualia, and personhood...my current thoughts. Can AI systems have consciousness? Yes, I think it is possible to build AI systems to have consciousness. While we havenât pinned down exactly what it means, we will. Consciousness is related to information

Honestly though how can you see someone extremely hot referred to as having âgreat genesâ and assume itâs because sheâs white and not because sheâs extremely hot ? How weirdly obsessed with race do you have to be to think that?

This Wikipedia satire is very funny. Tom Ellison is a spook, btw. So kudos to the humor. Bill Gates dropping the climate topic probably inspired Tomâs comic angst. But itâs still going to lose to Grokipedia. Not just because Grokâs probably going to have far more features and

ââConsciousnessâ is a central node which links ethics & cognition, connecting to concepts like moral worthiness, dignity, agency.â This is so completely wrong. Consciousness is at least 3 billion years old, and 99.999999999% of that timeline has no relationship to ethics,
A few thoughts on this (very interesting) mechanistic interpretability research: LLM concepts gain meaning from what theyâre linked with. âConsciousnessâ is a central node which links ethics & cognition, connecting to concepts like moral worthiness, dignity, agency. If LLMs are
