if there's one thing I've learned in my dealings with LLMs it's this: when you want to get something done and there's little room for error, threaten them with zero pussy

Yes that’s the odd part. They changed the rules for Covid but not for other respiratory diseases, which are supposedly milder than Covid. That healthcare rule makes no sense

My friend who works in healthcare didn’t feel well. Hospital policy is that she needs to take a Covid test. She did the test. Came back negative for Covid. But positive for some other respiratory virus. So now she has to wear an n95 mask for 10 days. Important note: no n95 mask needed for Covid anymore

The singular of sheep is a shoop. Change my mind

Anyone watching anything good (or bad) this weekend? #kinostr #🍿 #films #filmstr

There are two elements that make Bitcoin not a Ponzi scheme:

1. The fair issuance via Proof of Work mining

2. The freedom money use case, which empowers individuals who can’t use banks

If the governments regulate + monopolize no. 1, then hinder any chance at achieving no. 2, the only use case remaining is the “store of value” aka making more US dollars via speculation.

And this is what turns Bitcoin into a Ponzi: mining is only done by big players that governments certify & enable (they’ll say it saves the environment), nobody uses BTC as money anymore because it’s a nightmare from a regulatory point of view and it’s too traceable for freedom activists or “criminals” from authoritarian regimes.

one thing I don't know why it doesn't even matter how hard to try

With AIs creating their models of the world primarily by reading text online, there's never been a more critical time to write than it is today.

This is an idea I've heard in a recent interview with Gwern and it's been reverberating in me ever since. Think about anything you care about, anything that's good or bad, anything of value to you. If it doesn't exist online, it basically doesn't exist at all for the AIs. That also means that your writings might be part of the training data of future AIs. By publishing your thoughts, you can become a tiny part of latent space tilting the self-reflection of the world in a direction you want to.
