   Waffles moved from fm to ch a while back. It also had a fake forum login in the early days. Not sure when it died though. I remember people trying to get into FTN and others too that were known to be very exclusive - not sure if any of thos

   I remember coffee getting fulfilled, but don’t recall the Salinger novel getting fulfilled. What was the story there? Iirc it was in the Princeton rare books library and it was hard to get access to? Guessing someone took photos?

    There’s a decent podcast interview between Sam Harris and Eliezer Yudkowsky (on Sam’s pod), I think that’s a decent introduction and they break down the ideas in a way that’s more approachable for someone curious about it. For my personal q

    I think Yann is probably wrong. He refuses to engage earnestly with the “doomer” arguments. The same type of motivated reasoning could also be attributed to himself and Meta’s financial goals - it’s not a persuasive framing. The attempts I’
