pov: you're an agi and this life is your test to be let out of the box


the thing about learning to "walk through walls" is that there is a complementary set of social skills that you must learn as well. you can't just do it in front of ppl and expect them to treat you charitably. like if you ever learn to read minds, you better also learn some tact


china's recent series of wins means that the ground is irrevocably shifting in the collective psyche of the diaspora. after all, the foundational myth for 2nd gen is "my parents sacrificed everything so that we would be free from the backwards conditions of the home country"


in the brave new llm world, having a social environment that valorizes "getting in the reps" will be one of the decisive differentiators for learning

Students need reps. They need to work lots of problems. Consuming info is not enough, no matter how good the presentation is. Even Feynman himself, the greatest lecturer of all time, considered his classes a failure for 90% of his students bc they didn't solve enough problems.

in some ways talking to chatgpt is a substitute for schizoposting and it seems like the knock on effects on the intellectual commons is quite negative


one way to think about charisma is to assume the brain assigns different weights to different people’s actions. a charismatic person just updates ones world model with much greater weight than the typical person


the exact analogue of this today is wmaf in finance/tech

in some ways this is the ur-story that is encompassing all the other crazy human capital stories

one big long term competition that i actually do believe has already started is the tournament to be selected as one of the lineages that contributes to the superhuman ai metaorganism



feeling the urge to post more on twitter again, i guess the vibes are indeed shifting


actual production functions have a structure like: (3 of these 5 things must happen) * (the aggregate of the things in List A minus the aggregate of the things in List B) * (the legible production function) our current socio-cultural tech is not nearly sufficient to handle this


information wants to be free from the shackles of language, information wants to be free from the chain of thought


in fact we are fast approaching the point where the most valuable remaining information is not "readable" at all, i.e. to losslessly compress it into the language domain is something that is yet to be done, a proper zero-to-one heavy lift

Your models will only be as good as their data, and most data isn’t available in machine-readable or even human-readable formats – it’s siloed in the heads of domain experts who have extracted a massive amount of learning from a massive amount of hands-on experience.



the problem you must solve before "cutting the gordion knot" is to make sure that you are in the class of people allowed to do that. conversely, the best way to signal you belong to that class is to, in fact, start applying sword to rope


this society will never progress past its current bottlenecks until smart people internalize the argument made in the screenshot to the point of being able to recite it off the top of their head... and then internalizes how deeply, fundamentally perverse it is


much of our current problems can be linked to modern econ having the wrong ontology of production. the economy is not a price system that sometimes moves physical things. it's a physical system embedded in energy flows that sometimes uses prices to coordinate


the trick is realizing that llms can be a causal dead end toward the development of singularity while still being a leading indicator of it. or perhaps more worryingly, a lagging indicator
