Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says “It hurts when I do this.” Doctor says “Treatment is simple. Don’t do this.” Man bursts into tears.

“But Doctor, I *am* do this.”

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

$5,000 grant from Slate Star Codex to get an AI to write 5,000 novels about AI going well, to be fed back into AI training corpuses. This is the most Effective possible Altruism.

("mad dental science": Silverbook is the mouth bacteria instead of brushing your teeth guy)

Aaron Silverbook, $5K, for approximately five thousand novels about Al going well. This one requires some background: critics claim that since Al absorbs
text as training data and then predicts its completion, talking about dangerous Al too much might "hyperstition” it into existence. Along with the rest of the Al Futures Project, I wrote a skeptical blog post, which ended by asking - if this were true, it would be great, right? You could just write a few thousand books about Al behaving well, and alignment would be solved! At the time, I thought I was joking. Enter Aaron, who you may remember from his previous adventures in mad dental science. He and a cofounder have been working on an “Al fiction publishing house” that considers itself state-of-the-art in producing slightly-less-sloplike Al slop than usual. They offered to literally produce several thousand book-length stories about Al behaving well and ushering in utopia, on the off chance that this helps. Our grant will pay for compute. We're still working on how to get this included in training corpuses. He would appreciate any plot ideas you could give him to use as prompts.

Unexpected side effect of the scam economy is me learning that Sheryl Crow fans are especially exploitable

Sheryl Crow & • Follow

A Message From Team Sheryl (your page moderators):
Recently, we've gotten a greatly increased number of comments and posts on this page from grown men who believe they have been direct messaging with Sheryl and have some kind of personal access or relationship with her. Some of these folks even believe they're going to marry Sheryl despite never actually having met her in their entire lives. Some of these folks have been convinced to give money to people posing as Sheryl's management team in order to get a "fan card" or pay for a private session with her. And of course, this never happens once the money changes hands - because its a SCAM.
It's kind of incredible that we need to keep saying this, but Sheryl DOES NOT message with fans on social media, on Telegram or WhatsApp, or anywhere else. ANYONE who claims to be Sheryl or someone from her management team who messages a fan is an imposter, a scammer, looking to rip people off.
There are NO exceptions to this fact - trust us! This is the only official Sheryl Crow page on Facebook, Sheryl does not have any other private personal pages here, and she doesn't use any direct messaging platforms. We ban these folks as soon as we see them pop up, but the social media networks are doing a terrible job keeping scammers off their services. You have to be personally diligent and cautious online.

So please, gentlemen: use COMMON SENSE when receiving these scam messages. You honestly think you're going to marry someone famous whom you've never met because you've been DM'ing with someone who claims to be them but has a new account with 12 followers and they're asking you to send them money? C'mon now.
Just enjoy the music! That's what it's all about.
Thanks for reading.
Team Sheryl (your page moderators)

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

There was never anything wrong with avocados. The problem was white people and their sudden enthusiasm for them. You would go to a restaurant and some cracker waitress would make you watch her make mediocre guacamole at your table like it was a magic show.

Adjacent to this discussion: I just straight up block people who I see casually using the R word on main, because I would really prefer we not move backwards from the gains we had made not so long ago of that not being okay to do.

Bring back being ashamed of yourselves
