the CENTER JENNY fandom is growing
this tweet somehow reminded me of the existence of CENTER JENNY, which existence I learned about from @y_h_j_e_t . these are both great accounts to read posts from by the way

the "neo" parts were flimsy wishcasting and no less repugnant
everything neo about neoreaction has been flattened into just reaction. maybe always was

I feel pretty comfortable summarizing the effects of qanon and similar online spaces as "breaking people's brains"
“lovecraftian cosmic horrors” are not real. nothing breaks people’s brains. those pakistani tribesmen that get access to the internet acclimate to it within weeks

prediction markets enjoyers are weirdly obtuse about the psychology of gambling and that's why they've put up no resistance as public markets get folded into the gambling-industrial complex

Hanson's research on prediction markets inside firms is pretty clear that most of the value comes from incentivizing the relevant employees to communicate unpopular information via betting I'm not sure why so much discourse about *public* markets leans on EMH, but it's bad
I love prediction markets like you wouldn’t believe but I see too many proposals that treat prediction markets like magic and disregard thinness or the fact that the information might not even be out there.

my lab used to publish papers showing off feature engineering tricks on some specific dataset, often one that was unique to that paper, and then _didn't publish the dataset_
i have "born in the wrong generation" but about what you used to be able to get away with publishing in machine learning

I still like the lesswrong coinage "wrong questions" for these situations -- some intuition pump or map/territory confusion is creating the perception of a meaningful question where none really exists
I am very interested in public debates that *just don’t advance*. In this case, people have been saying “so what if bitcoin is scarce? Everything is scarce” for 15+ years The discussion never moves forward. On /r/bitcoin too, all topics have been the same for a decade
