The hard part of “holding two opposing thoughts in mind at the same time” is holding two opposing emotions in the body at the same time.

Observe that we already have anarchy, but at the level of countries rather than individuals.

I'm selling all of the natural numbers starting from zero. I'll track who owns what by writing your name next to the number in a little notebook. I won't physically give you the numbers, but everyone will know you're the owner. If it goes well I'll consider selling reals next.

1990s Hackers: "I'm building a free operating system to run the internet".

The year is 20XX. Everyone is vaccinated, everyone is masked. A flat white costs one Satoshi. All social science replicates. Race is eternal and sex is only discussed by historians in hushed tones. GPT-47 Simba and Nala give an interview expose on the Pride Lands royal family.

The thing about the whole incel memeplex is that incels don't want to bang Stacy, they want to be "Chad". Chad's defining trait isn't his sexual power but his implacable masculine aptitude; Chad gets everything he wants without really trying.

Isn't it telling how "personal growth" includes our central economic & social narrative of "progress"?

What happens when we make it "personal transformation"? "Submission to God"?

Unforseen consequences.

To find the limits of Transformers, we collected 12,500 math problems. While a three-time IMO gold medalist got 90%, GPT-3 models got ~5%, with accuracy increasing slowly.

If trends continue, ML models are far from achieving mathematical reasoning.

"That's the reason why people are bragging that infants can use iPads as if this was a point of pride rather than something horrifying." We infantilize people with apps that are built to be intuitive from the start but can't do anything serious. twitter.com/RobertHaisfield/st

@nosilverv In buddhist russia, theory updates you

Anyone up for invading math & exploiting it for its natural resources?

The difference between BTC and ETH is that people use ETH to perform actual transactions. That's why the gas price is so high, but BTC mining fees are not.

ETH is a transaction/payment system, BTC is a speculative asset.
