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.

llms are smarter than humans because they can get gold in the imo without reasoning even once.
Who knew you could win gold in the International Math Olympiad without truly reasoning?.

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.

This is not true! She might also be low conscientiousness.
sorry babe if you were hot and high-decoupling enough for me to date you'd be onlyfans-rich.

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.

a lot of people don’t know this but in california, if you don’t have a license, you can ONLY drive if you ARE drunk. it’s a weird loophole due to the way english handles double negation.

It seems pretty hard to believe that even centuries from now we could have an impartial history of the Israel Palestine conflict, which really makes Thucydides hit kinda different.

Winning is more important than the truth but when humans do not have deontological restrictions that stop them from taking the sort of actions that they associate with someone who thinks that winning is more important than the truth, they do really stupid stuff.
what is more important?.

People present knowing whether you are dreaming as a counterexample to the law of conservation of evidence, but I think you do not actually know that you are not dreaming unless you get good at lucid dreaming. I know this because I have falsely believed I was not dreaming after.

This is a pretty great path to healing resentment ime.
Maybe men and women can understand each other and have sympathy for each other’s struggles!.

I disagree with Peter Thiel on many things but his answer here is actually totally reasonable, and I basically agree with all of it. I find the rhetoric here of the interviewer and of these video qters extremely annoying. Should the human race survive? Sorry what do you mean?.

Considering running a lighthaven podcast. Who should I interview and about what? Interested in all sort of suggestions, but particularly interested in talking to people with good standard arguments for unusual conclusions.

When I was quite young (pre 2000) I taught my friends how to access porn on the internet and also taught a few about masturbation. They were not allowed to hangout with me for almost a year and I didn't get why until much later.
