the longer I think about econ, the harder it is to debate marxists. the idea of "markets" dissolves and diffuses into every stratum of your reasoning, to the point it doesn't even register as a Thing. now all I can do is gesture broadly at the world and say "isn't it obvious?"

Lilith is in a perpetual state of anxiety because when it is demanded of her that she "authenticate" herself she has no cell phone upon which to receive a special code; thus, like the man without a country, she has no identity, she is shunned by all authenticated persons.

“casino culture” sports betting, shitcoins, meme stocks, vibe coding 100m in six hours, etc are all expressions of the same deep cultural rot. if youth don’t believe there’s legitimate ways to get rich through work, all of culture will become a rotten sports book for the soul

Anytime I ask someone at an SF house party what they do outside of work: "Rock climbing, hiking, applying to YC on the side" When I ask what they do for their actual job, it's usually something far more interesting

@goblinodds never understood two-boxing until i realised the thought experiment was aimed at the kind of person who overrationalises social interaction to the point where it interferes with their ability to arrive at the kind of (recursively stable) social equilibrium normies do effortlessly

The media has a major role to play in promoting unwarranted scientific skepticism because of how lazily they engage with so many topics. For example, they constantly talk about how there's "no evidence" for obviously true things. I think this captures how that goes:

is YC in this? i’d be amazed if not. it’s perfect for them. totally disconnected from reality. new companies are likely to die, the reality is that it’s low status until it works - but today it has flipped, it is high status, the fundraise IS the win! you did it, you overcame…

@aaroninky Couldn’t get rid of the rough beast, which actually seemed to get closer every time I tried a new prompt! But otherwise really shows the power of technology to bring us towards a brighter future. I’m full of passionate intensity about #AI right now.

I basically concur with this LW comment (though probably not quite a 40% chance of all that happening, maybe more like 25%).

Basically, there’s a group of guys called longshoremen, who unload all the stuff that comes into the country by boats (which is pretty much everything you buy, right?). The longshoremen all make more money than doctors, because their union has a legal stranglehold over the ports…

this is mafia extortion type shit. it has no place in our society. it’s a threat to national prosperity and security. we should treat it that way maybe we bring in the national guard to run the ports. if you want to keep your job, congratulations. but no more mob protection

I'd encourage anyone who's read the essay to also read this critique: forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/H6xEhur9… I don't agree with all of the critique, but I think it raises some important points.

it's fascinating watching Ted Chiang (my favorite SF author) deeply misunderstand the most impactful technological development of my adult life it's not just that I disagree with him, but that he clearly didn't research it at all, and says provably untrue things

recently, many friends have noticed they are confused about my stance on AI--some ask my p(doom), while others simply add me to their e/acc lists without asking. clarity on my stance is much-needed, and as such i will take an incontrovertible stand here. if when you say AI you…
