Is it true what they say? If you mention ASI on bluesky a horde of stochastic parrots descend upon you and consume your flesh with completely rote and uncreative beak movements?

For people who think that AIs aren’t really reasoning, don’t really understand things, or can’t really think, what do you mean? Like how do I test it whether an AI can do those things?

I hear there are some really cool custom feeds. Can people tell me about them? 👀

oh hey guys how’s this side of the Internet going?

Can someone explain to me Threads and the fediverse thing and is this compatible with Bluesky or Mastodon? ELI5

I think rationalists on average might be about as embodied and emotional as your average person Which admittedly is not that much. And plenty of rationalists who are at the tails as well. I think people are comparing to groups with unusually high levels of emotional perception / expression

Midjourney is so fun

I was watching some nature footage that showed monkeys in Japan chilling in some hot springs. This makes a lot of sense to me if you're warm blooded - save energy by staying in warm water Of course humans do this for fun, but did ancestral humans ever do this just to keep warm / save calories?

Once they get cheap enough I want a robot dog They're very scary but also cool, and I want to see how people interact with one, including myself

Imagine how cities would be different if everyone could fly Store fronts on many different levels, apartments with landing balconies, taking an elevator up a highrise and then gliding halfway across the city...

It's weird that "I'm up for this" and "I'm down for this" mean the same thing

Quality meme

I feel increasingly annoyed when Elon does really dumb things. I generally like to ignore the culture war stuff but then he goes and does shit like the Substack fight and starting a new AI company and I'm like come on dude Just build rockets and cars and be an edgelord or whatever but don't do this

Man aging sucks. Visiting my grandparents and they keep saying how they don't like getting older. Which makes complete sense to me, it totally sucks

My biggest feature request by far is a thread composer For me threads are life, and right now I have to post one tweet, refresh the page so my new tweet loads, then comment the next tweet, then repeat until my thread is done I appreciate all the work the dev team is doing, god speed! 🙏

I think most people want kids, but also want a bunch of other things. As it's gotten more difficult to have kids relative to having other things, people choose to have less kids This suggests something interesting about human shard structure

I want to throw a neopets party. You show up dressed like a pet or just someone from the 2000s, and you can play games for neopoints, there are free omelettes and jellies, you can adopt pets, buy paintbrushes or petpets or petpetpets... What else would you want to see at a neopets party?

I made this in Midjourney and it's too cute plz help

I can't wait til AI art models have really good semantic understanding. Midjourney can make such beautiful things but I want these models to actually draw what I tell them to draw Not trying to be ungrateful here, just excited about the future
