oh wizened tortle 🐢 @tortle@schelling.pt

I've told twitter that I'm not interested in so many things on my For You page that it's just showing me lots of my own tweets.

A bit passive-aggressive but point taken, algorithm.

Tortle: Good news! I've packed everything away for my move. No need to be anxious any more 😇.
Reality: The move happening in five days?
T: Yes!
R: So you're just not going to use anything for five days?

T: I haven't packed the Queal and laptop yet?

It's also made me more excited about (one day) being a parent. Being parent feels (amongst many other things) like a cool, unique experience, and this was a cool experience I got without even having my own child!

But now it's often a mixture of me and my nephew. And it's easier to transfer feelings of love to me when we're so similar.

Another win for evolution for making me care so much about my genes in another person.

I also can more easily access re-parenting-style strategies, e.g. when I'm doing IFS work. Part of my brain always struggled to treat my exile with the love it needed, because the exile was *me*. Or it was "generic child 3".

One thing I'm surprised by after spending time with my nephew is how it's changed how I relate to myself and others.

I have a much clearer idea of what it means to love someone just as they are, not because of the value they produce.

Wondering how much and what kind of media and policy attention would lead this to happen.

Seems unlikely the government would end up funding enough/all of the promising research that EA would feel its money is better spent elsewhere, right?

What would the world need to look like for EA to stop funding alignment research?

I'm thinking of getting (back) into astrology

Tbf I probably shouldn't have joked about also taking illicit drugs after I said this

I did it!! I slept for more than six hours!!! Finally 😩

How many different positions do you think the public should be aware of about how to deal with AGI x-risks? (not counting the "no it won't, none of that will happen" position)

Love is now banned and everyone is banned from being loveable until we figure out what the fuck is going on

The rest of the room is worse, just not shown for privacy reasons

Moving is now banned everyone and everything must now stay in the same location until we figure out what the fuck is going on

these two were rehearsing the dance moves from Naatu Naatu but had to take a moment to hype themselves up about the film. The woman may look uncomfortable, but it's just because her body is so exhausted from the incredibly powerful hook step dance (5/5)

this girl is also talking about RRR (4/5)
