You're better than that, I believe in you. Cultivate a deep sense of resistance which can wake you out of sensory takeovers. Shame is powerful, what have you shipped this week?

It would be opt in, obviously. I don't agree with these kind of moral hazard arguments which attempt to prove progress is impossible. It's not my problem that google may screw something up - they can do that if they want, and we c

David Friedman runs interesting slate star codex meetups periodically, where I've met a lot of interesting people. Recommended to attend if you would like to meet well-read people with all sorts of new ideas.

Yeah, go for it. I liked the environment she was setting up, but it just kept shocking me how easily and naturally the main character flipped. It's as if the 10+ years of study he went through didn't matter. I understand it could

Funny that this is being done partly in the name of RF Kuang, whose book "Babel" promotes a pretty violent strand of anti-white anti-colonial theory. That particular protagonist, a young Chinese boy rescued from poverty due to h

I wrote some code to annotate the image with the text of the prompt. I couldn't find a convenient way to do it in EXIF. For Midjourney: https://github.com/ernop/social-ai/tree/main This one just download

It applies to all types of kin relations. Dramatically fewer people have a same- sex sibling. The number is probably down from say 0.9 to 0.4 or less. Few people have friends with brothers and sisters to compare them to, to understand herit

I submitted this because it has lots of weird, currently low status or low probability ideas, which are cheap to test and might work really well. It covers biology, medicine, environment, land use, government, etc. I'm inspired by the

What do you value then? Testing for things that correlate with that would be a reasonable proposal. Also I'm not a "Kemosabe", not sure what that is. I said we because things like low rates of malpractice, success in grad sc

Is this a fair summary of your view: meritocracy doesn't really measure merit, since parents can use their money to improve whatever scores you get? My answer: why then do rich parents routinely have some children who can't cut it

But I'm asking why in some markets there are known relatively trustable sites, but not in others. What causes that? I also assume it varies dramatically by culture, language, region, population, period in history. Why? If you deny it

One reason this is good is that the default gpt4-vision UI is so insanely bad and slow. This just lets you use your capacity faster. Rate limits are really low by default - you can get hit by 5 img/min limits, or 100 RPD (requests per

You can really "cheat" by modifying the custom prompt to re-insert or remove specific features. For example, "generate a prompt for this image but adjust it by making everything appear in a more primitive, earlier evolutionar
