LSD powered mega-erections, all thanks to LSD (and the blood of my sons).

You think capitalists would do that? Go in front of the government and tell lies?

E: this is also my feeling about Altman saying 'I did drugs and I changed bro'.

That is a good comparison. Thanks.

Neat!

E: also, this means that if the AI = AGI people are right, lego could be used to run an intelligence.

Yes, people. I wouldn't be surprised if Sam calls being lazy dogfooding.

From that blog post:

You can see the future first in San Francisco.

"And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."

The Network State is described by Srinivasan as “a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.”

This reminds me of those libertarians(*) who keep trying to build a community in the no mans land somewhere in the Balkans on a fucking floodplain of all things. I heard they need saving/rebuilding every now and then. (I assume with the recent floods they are not doing well). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberland. And yes, they have a cryptocurrency why did you ask?

pictures of the hotel.

This reminds me of something else. I'm going to have to download something and check something out. (E: I checked, it reminded me of the hotel in the game Dead Island, but the game had a bigger hotel, a better pool, and less annoying visitors, so I was wrong on that one (I did pick up an achievement)).

*: they might be a secret third thing

The interview itself

Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

"No, I can't wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I'm too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can't you wash them?"

Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.

Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).

In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.

Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.
