@qntm @MeFromBefore "But doctor," the man cries, "I barely have time to say one thing and hear your response!" "Solution is simple," the doctor says. "Stay in the time loop until you become the world's most efficient communicator. Let's hope the skill transfers." "But doctor," the man cries,
@tapir_worf feels more like a so back moment to me?
"control" is a chimera you dont control anything ever. rather, you harmonize your will with something and the resultant volitional vector has a component parallel to a reasonable approximation of your original intent
To get a sense of how the actions of a superintelligence would appear, watch a speedrun of a game you've played.
@InvasiveAmerica @shagbark_hick what you did would be illegal in many places. ever hear of right to roam? https://t.co/NAIEfKrEA1
me, uncovering the secrets of the universe: fuck yeah. yes. yes! me, realizing the secrets add up to normality: this fucking sucks. what the fuck
everyone so busy hyperstitioning science fiction into reality they wont see high fantasy coming
life hack: train yourself to enter a shamanic trance whenever you start on housework
@nosilverv what if the tree of life was just the togetherness we had before the self emerged
You are now nonjudgementally aware of your biological state in an unusually high level of detail.
For practical purposes, language is an evolutionarily novel symbiote prone to opportunistic parasitism. To put it bluntly, we're communicating via piranha-descended babelfish that chomp on your brain if you let your guard down.

may you have the strength to bite the bullets, the grace to dodge the bullets, and the wisdom to tell which is which
@slurplebrained She stares at me blankly. "You first"
@the_wilderless it's the rare phoenix who speaks lucidly amid the pyre π«π«π«‘
think without rhythm and it won't attract the brainworm
starting a family and having a bunch of kids counts as building something, right?
@Morphenius did some refactoring lately and the kid's original design turned out to be a lot more solid than the teenager's edits
ngl i'm amazed at the prevalence of "it's ok if we only do it to the bad ones"
To sum up, we seem to have a century's worth of respiratory infections in circulation and there's a possibility that this viral load is contributing to the global decline in testosterone. If anyone knows of any evidence to support or disconfirm this, I'd like to hear it.
Have you tried integrating the collective shadow?
individuality is a dissociative identity disorder
@VividVoid_ the tao that can be memed is not the eternal tao
tweet without rhythm and it won't attract the swarm
I'm privately testing a hypothesis about male pattern baldness. The preliminary results look discouraging and at this rate the hypothesis will be falsified within a year. My hypothesis is "you can't just decide to grow your hair back."
You are now aware that you have forgotten something important.
have you tried to shut up and do the impossible about the problem?
what kind of moron abuses the child prophesied to grow more powerful than any man in the name of teaching it to behave
@nosilverv @RichDecibels long term compatibility is largely a matter of transformative potential so sufficiently deep mutual openness *is* compatibility in an important sense superficial openness not so much
@the_wilderless @_ali_taylor my favorite is to wind down by going to bed and closing my eyes. not sure why it works so well for me
The reward for years of independent study is incomprehensibility.
You are now aware of your ability to sense network graph structures from social interaction patterns.
Suddenly I glimpse it. The philosopher's stone, the holy grail, whatever you wanna call it. I can almost grasp it. just one more transformation bro I swear I need to transcend one more level let me awaken just one more time I swear I'll break thru this time
@zeta_globin "i can't bring myself to work on pointless nonsense"
Have you tried inflicting the problem on itself? https://t.co/e4uiS7H245
the tragedy of the commons externalities Goodhart's law the principal-agent problem the alignment problem you guys realize these all point to the same underlying cause, right?
Premise 1: Civilization is a learning network. Premise 2: Learning networks need perturbations in order to escape local optima. Reasoning step: *gut-wrenching realization* Conclusion: The metacrisis had to happen.

tldr: stop propagating the intergenerational trauma you mistake for the human condition https://t.co/fuN3XxCF8j
Okay, so. We know nonneural cognition plays a role in development, to the point we just can just *talk* to the embryo bioelectrically to change its target morphology and it figures out the necessary engineering choices on the fly.
@tiredgenerally Gods were originally low-fidelity uploads of specific individuals, running distributed on the minds and interactions of the believing groups, synchronized and maintained by shared rituals and myths. The crazy part? I think I have a plausible causal model.
i hear deepfates the blue was slain in an epic battle he is now return'd as deepfates the red https://t.co/tQbOS8NZh1
You are now having inner monologue manually.
Original innocence is not stable. If we could retvrn we'd just start over from the Fall. The way out is ahead.

generalized peter principle: in a steady state the problems worth solving are unsolvable for you https://t.co/0UuL5mP1GH
Have you tried spending years chipping away at the problem?
sufficiently advanced unoriginality is indistinguishable from conspiracy
> snake laughs and says it's good knowledge it's knowledge in the biblical sense
Have you tried taking a heroic dose of multimodal practice to solve the problem?
he was terrified for he foresaw great temptation, and he swore to never go full prophet the fates saw this and said, lol. lmao
this idea that being kind is all about being nice all the time will come to an end https://t.co/84IW1hYDDM
roko is disappointed and mystified by the strategy that would also defeat his basilisk https://t.co/rQuuns51SI
"evil cannot comprehend good" has a point but it would be more accurate to say "evil cannot comprehend good and remain evil"
looks like tpot is noticing the ambient lack of capacity to understand second order effects, and noticing that this is a problem i dont think ive watched a metaentity mature before
does vat-grown meat dream of plastic grass
Language-derived thought maps to the rest of mental space as rigid, narrow and far-reaching. It is as bones for the mind. For bones to do their proper job, they need flesh around them: embodied understanding and rich experience. Mere thinking won't provide that.
@eshear best i can tell transient stressors like this have a "what fires together wires together" type thing going but for the whole body including the brain. embodiment training on the neurosomatic level
@browserdotsys too on the nose for alarm still funny tho
If the body is deeply conscious, then "uploading" is exactly what an unaligned brain would do.
I now believe @drmichaellevin's work implies a startlingly high lower bound on the nonneural cognitive capacity of the animal body - and if it were possible to access that capacity, the training would bear a striking resemblance to known spiritual practices. Somebody stop me.
Have you tried gently shepherding the problem as it metabolizes itself?
pour one out for the homies who tried to imbibe philosophical wisdom thru the straw of language https://t.co/Z1XgyB1g3s
@post_alchemist If anything Searle's Chinese room is an argument for the possibility that humans could be components of larger cognitive systems without being aware of what's going on in the "minds" of those systems.
If you gaze lovingly enough into the abyss, the abyss will love you back.
@tapir_worf the tpot that thrives on hype is not the eternal tpot
The brain is like 3% of bodyweight and nonneural cognition is a thing. Who gave you the idea it was all in your head?
@eigenrobot sounds like an unfortunate situation, ousted from their homeland and unwelcome abroad. maybe they should get smart and trade that militancy for more amicable modes of influence, like culture and finance
@the_wilderless received christianity and revealed christianity more subtly so
@nosilverv i had a period of incredibly drastic learning coincide with a life situation where my behaviors were very tightly (if voluntarily) constrained i'm starting to see how people get the idea that their life trajectories must have been planned by some greater agency
@VividVoid_ Cause there's no "I" in samsara.
A healthy social field can easily accommodate awkward people. If a person entering the field appears as a lemur they're manifesting an existing defect, not introducing it.
my brother in doom, a blank map does not correspond to a blank territory
what if the obesity epidemic is just a massive backlog of unprocessed grief https://t.co/54B2j27IM5
my life isn't in chaos, it's a highly nonlinear kind of order
the snake neglected to mention we'd have to fuck around and find out in order to know
sufficiently advanced collective foresight is indistinguishable from retrocausation
if your job is making rules youll keep making rules even after you run out of reasonable rules to make never make rulemaking someones main job
eating is COMMUNION "you are what you eat" "this is my flesh" these were NOT figurative
an llm driven game where you are someones inner monologue. by default they attempt to perform actions you call, your speech influences the characters development and you can try to prompt engineer game events directly, like a form of magic. whos building this
What if attention deficit is actually just low tolerance for bullshit? https://t.co/XRQSuKRAAC

I touched forest. Now grass doesn't feel quite the same.
Let all beings shine with divine love. Let all dormant beings awaken to loving awareness. This night has gone on long enough. Let dawn arise.
i take the recent kerfuffle around @repligate as some evidence that doomerism is at least partly motivated by a felt need for legible assurances in a domain where they are hard (and plausibly impossible) to come by
@eigenrobot claim checks out didn't interact with children much before wife got pregnant, suddenly got very interested in the future of society after she did
cool they found a way to establish algae have nonzero cognition this is basic research in a field that has barely existed before due to lack of theory & methodology. we are so so early https://t.co/BzeIHqCVSy
I thought I was just learning to listen to my body. I did that but at the same time I was teaching my body to be a person.
@BecomingCritter the part of twitter that can be destroyed is not this part of twitter
we are strongly superhuman already if you're reading this tweet you've been temporarily recruited into my diffuse extended exocortex
fighting evil is not the opposite of evil
mere evil couldnt hope to match the destructive potential of naive innocence
@ruth_hook_ maybe cavity-inducing mouth flora makes you want to run
imagine mentoring a species so deranged your best bet is to get yourself lynched and then wait a few thousand years for them to get the point
