It is useful to get a perspective on it other than mine. But the book is quite limited.

My God, the Russian grates my ears. Lol

LessWrong.com is a den for rationalists. Also, read the two rationality books from my book list.

How racist!

Imagine saying that to your neighbor's cat when she meows at you

But we have no idea how long it will take to crack intelligence. Might be like hover cars. Just because Elon Musk wants a hover car doesn't mean he can build one. LLMs are like regular cars, and AGI is like hover cars. It is premature to start freaking out about hover cars.

Haha. This is contradicted by the absolute scumbags they sleep with.

What blackmail do they have on her? Haha!

Because they have no actual understanding of intelligence. All they are doing is feeding it data, but they have run out of data already. There just is not enough data on Earth to make AI more intelligent than it currently is. And data is not real intelligence because is leeches off human intelligence. To make AGI they would need to actually crack the issue of intelligence, which they are not even working on. They are deluded by their own hype, greed, and lust for power. The whole thing is a gross juvenile rationalist farce.

@LordFall Promote snippets from your blog on X, Threads, BlueSky, etc. Create a funnel, with shallow content up front and deep content further in. Try to offer people value. What is useful to them? What are their needs?

It much depends on your personality and level of ambition. Most people are not very ambitious nor creative so for them working a simple steady job is fine. But for someone like me it is torture. I cannot do it because I demand way more from my life than obeying a boss to do medicore work to make him rich while the world gets dumber and dumber. It all depends on your values. Creative people require lots of autonomy and freedom to do their work. For non-creative people this is a non-issue. Some personality types can be happy working at the post office licking stamps. If I had to do that I would kill myself.

Pretty slick

@Natasha Tori Maru *Borat hi-five*

That's why I said were are going post-rational, meta-rational, and not abandoning rationality entirely and why learning rationality is important. It's a subtle issue.

Yes. I am calling the tech bros' bluff.

Telepathically clapping Brazillian cheeks confirmed!

Elon Musk is Homer Simpson designing the Homer car

All this assumes AI can do jobs. Huge unwarranted aasumption with no basis in reality so far. A chatbot is not a job.

My spirit animal

Nice drawing!

That is more than enough. It will take you weeks to digest MetaRationality.com That's right, I am not talking about the standard philosophical definition of rationalism vs empiricism. We are talking about something more important than that. Which in itself shows you how relative definitions are. Some definitions are not as useful as others for our purposes. We use fuzzy intelligence to select the better defintions for our needs, which in this case is the goal of jail-breaking the mind.

@ZeldaStar There is much additional depth and insight, but if you're just casual about it then it can all seem the same. It is hard to communicate the depth to you guys without it sounding repetitive. Depth is not about more new ideas, it is about deepening existing ideas. To appreciate the depth of this issue you have to read all of MetaRationality.com

Fanboys always find something to whine about. If you don't understand the quality of Nintendo games you got your head in the sand. The quality of a Zelda game is insane.

Let's start a list of the best music for listening to on psychedelics. Obviously taste in music is very subjective, but try to post the best of the best here. This music should work well with psychedelics and tripping. Chill, moody, down-tempo, ambient, techno type stuff. There's lots of obscure psychedelic & chillout music that can be found on SoundCloud.
