People should not hold public office while also actively running and benefitting from for-profit companies. Especially ones based on contracts with the government or their political prominence. Seems pretty basic.

It is always a sin to kill people, and also we live in a fallen world. Figuring out how to navigate that contradiction has been the task of philosophy for the last five thousand years or so, and we're still working on it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

So the Turing Test/Imitation Game is pretty clearly off the table as a method to suss out consciousness. What do you think should replace it? I think Turing was onto something with the idea of looking for equivalence, rather than defining consciousness. Just turns out the test conditions aren't it.

Your typical person working in ML is like a well educated person who has a grad degree, probably some exposure to humanities. You will note that they are mostly uninterested in the VC singularity stuff, and more interested in ML as an object of study

This is one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated physics experiments, it’s won the noble prize, and it literally does not work without both sites. Like it can’t function.

Subtweet: if "stick a fork in an electrical outlet to raise climate awareness" was trending, it would be deranged to assume that the people calling this a bad idea were paid by the fossil fuel lobby, even though the fossil fuel lobby is very bad and does have a history of paying for propaganda

whatever you do, do not call this power consolidation. they are simply destroying all of america’s sources of soft power and outside sources of opposition along with the ability for the opposition to ideologically reproduce itself.

Yeah you can want bsky to stay a niche platform with only cool people, or you can want to get powerful and influential people off of X brainrot, I’m not telling you how to post, but the two are in direct tension with each other.

The difference between Twitter and Bluesky is on one website, everybody hates Will Stancil for being a liberal, and on the other site, everybody hates Will Stancil for being a liberal.

Important thread, bit points 4 and 5 highlight how urgent it is to have dedicated copyright legislation for AI models (Ideally, federal legislation or even an international treaty, but the timing on that is... unfortunate)

It’s so bleak that there’s an audience for this shit, man. Not knowing things is fine. No one can know everything. But I feel like we used to have more of a taboo of being actively proud of being ignorant and incurious.

It’s not “consent manufacturing” to acknowledge both what the research shows and what millions of people saw/are still seeing firsthand as instructors or students, give me a fucking break. Tradeoffs exist and at the start of COVID it was the right choice, but you don’t have to lie about the cost.

Jus soli citizenship is one of the few inherently good things about the United States. Giving even a rhetorical inch on in it is a nightmare. It is the great leveler, an inherently democratic mechanism. Everyone born here is the same no matter who their daddy is. Despotically unamerican to end it.
