I don't really get why @EneaszWrites thinks this is a me thing to say, but it's pretty cool so I wanna signal boost it.
Talking with my gf @jenalden about how "May thy blade chip and shatter" is something I came to respect as I aged, and how it's the most @RatOrthodox thing ever

Dang, huge influence on me. Glad we didn’t all go together when you went though.
Tom Lehrer died today, at 97. He was one of my favorite musicians, and an intellectual inspiration for my humor.

a very counterintuitive result of the correct axiology is that if shrimps were otherwise the same but had faces like this, the quality of their experiences would be 10^100 times more morally important.

I started—like I do for basically all freely adopted technologies—with a strong prior that social media is net positive. I basically haven’t seen much strong evidence to the contrary. I have seen some moderately convincing narratives but that’s par for the course.

I am pretty forgiving of people going crazy from thinking about race or gender. Like, if you go full illiberal retard, I'm gonna look down on you about that, but like also, civ sure is trying hard to make it hard for anyone to think about that, so I understand.

Fwiw, I predicted correctly and it wasn’t even moderately hard.
At manifest, a friend was playing "fuck marry kill" with three of the speakers we'll call A, B, and C. All the women he asked agreed they'd obviously fuck C. All the men he asked predicted women would fuck either A or B, and were shocked when the true C preference was revealed. I.

I’m not sure why I think it’s worse to sleep with someone in a monogamous relationship than it is to trade with someone who has agreed to only trade with one person, but I do.

think of all the good that could have happened if xai jobs had been listed on the 80,000 hours jobs board. i bet you there would be far fewer typos in ani’s system prompt.

I like that this piece of art is good on its own merits and also distinctly AI art—that is, it’s art that wouldn’t have been made were it not for AI for reasons other than AI making it overall easier to make art. Would be interested in other examples.

I’ve realized something really obvious in retrospect which is that I used to kind of implicitly think good relationships were about not fighting or minimizing fighting, which was totally unrealistic for me. Good relationships for me are about having good repair after conflict.
