Hey @arcalinea I want to build a friend finder for AT, can you drop me a staging account so I can test

I respect this guy's vision and tenacity BUT
There are real harms from normal AI today! there are hypothetical harms from ASI in the future! And we would all benefit if we stopped conflating the latter with the former, it confuses the normies and makes policy worse

GPTs are not GANs. They aren't trained to *talk like a human*. They're trained to *predict all the text on the Internet*.

@WomanCorn hah true, thank goodness for that

Interesting that this started out like 75-25 in favor of "following" before gradually swinging towards "for you". Maybe voting causes a tweet to appear on your connections' feeds, maybe it's just normal feed delay.

Where are you seeing this twit?

I especially Twitter's removal of social proof cues because now I don't know who to blame for the actual Nazi blundering past the point of a movie in my feed

Hey we spotted you across the parameter space and we really dig your alignment, can we get you a room full of Chinese dictionaries?

James Carse wrote the incredible "Finite and Inifinite Games" about life, games, and the sort of trustworthy playfulness we've all seen in the world but have a hard time describing. It's great, but it's got a huge hole in it.
