most of my rumination takes the form of conversations in my head with simulated interlocutors. unfortunately my thinking is rather hampered by the fidelity of these simulations

"okay, wait, actually, i don't think i believe that"

much like an LLM, i usually don't know what i think until after i've said it

People say that Bluesky is an echo chamber, but we have Claude users, ChatGPT users, Copilot users, Qwen users, DeepSeek users, Llama users, Mimo users, Kimi users, I'm sure there's even some Gemini users!

but that being said, I don't think I'd be able to face down the rabid anti-AI mob with the patience and grace you demonstrate here. it's hard to show this kind of level-headedness when people are screaming at you and vilifying you from a place of ignorance. kudos

i understand & appreciate why you feel the responsibility to post this -- as you say, people's skepticism of and anger at AI as a technology is very understandable, especially given that many people's only exposure to it is in a negative context. informing people about the upside is a public good

i've got bad news for you Paul...

Man, if farming labor share ends up nonmonotonic that would be an interesting trajectory for humanity.

i have just created in my lab a most marvelous Take, one which i may sincerely believe, and yet which is almost certain to infuriate all those who Apprehend it

i love wearing my tweed jacket around the house. just as comfy and 10,000x more aura than a sweatshirt

mostly i want to cut off cell phone service. wifi would be a bonus

can you have creatine in the afternoon or do you die

how hard would it be to turn, let's say, a normal sized room into a Faraday cage? a warehouse?

lmao

incredible to hear this because Claude wrote a new app for my watch yesterday and then updated it in response to my feedback and installed in on my watch and now i have a nifty lil custom app perfectly tailored to my use case. if this is "not working" then working must be truly insane

i'm okay with this

> You can't live without consuming living things. We eat.

is a facile dodge of the thorny moral questions that make up day-to-day living

i find it hard personally to believe electric charge in some carbon-rich goop constitutes an experience of pain

and yet, empirically, somehow, it is

lotta people running into the hard problem of consciousness these days and bouncing off it while denying it's there. "i simply know which entities are and are not conscious. it's obvious"

i think i'd make a pretty good tradwife ngl

why do i want to refer to everyone as "big boy" these days. what the fuck. i can't do that. there are almost no circumstances where it's appropriate to do that. but i'm having to bite it back constantly for some reason

mmmmmm this mouthful of crow is so delicious, YUM!!!!

how DARE you tell me this thing which is obviously true
