"I built up so much trust in Hank over the literal thousands of videos he put out about science, but then he was sloppy in how he wrote the 'do you shave your butt' script and it left me wondering who I can trust"

I'm tempted to do a short post on how not all "public land" is Zion National Park and it is not always a crime to build things on it

Had a lot of fun talking to my friend Caitlin for her new podcast here www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gGn...

Are data centers BAD? I was surprised to find out...YouTube video by Caitlin Has Questionswww.youtube.com

I'm starting to think that AI safety can carve out a pretty big niche for itself as one of the groups saying "Hey we're also concerned about AI but won't call you a monster for just using the models"

This is all very depressing. Hank's done so much good and doesn't deserve this level of vitriol

They're money guns directly into public services and yet

Hate that I hold this opinion but I gotta say I've noticed that a lot of people who criticize male friendships as being 'stunted' often seem to communicate entirely in therapy-speak with their own friends and see that as the only way to actually emotionally bond with people.

This is the key obvious takeaway from the numbers that a lot of people seem to nevertheless struggle with

There's an incredible amount of learned helplessness in this debate. It should be pretty easy for educated adults to just look into current estimates of chatbot use, but so many people act like that's completely beyond them.

Aparna blocked me for disagreeing with her but keeps criticizing me behind the block. It's kind of overwhelming how adults are consistently disagreeing with the very least controversial thing I say (individual prompts are tiny by the standards of how we use energy) by pointing out that I'm an EA

It's been a bad week for us

I don't know what this is, but I absolutely need to win. Please my legions vote

New useful estimates shared by John Bistline. A good rule of thumb is that it would take about 1000 Wh in a data center to raise the average American's daily carbon footprint by 1%

I think my ideal society would be lots of overlapping wildly unalike communities that are politically and socially free to be so different that they often don't like or trust each other. The last thing I want is a single inspiring vision.

Please god can everyone mad about books being ripped apart get equally mad about pigs being ripped apart and just stop eating the products that involve the torture of little guys?

Pushing back against a completely fake ineffective way of feeding poor people is good actually.

The war on rootedness must accelerate

I think data centers are the individual objects in the world most likely to kill me personally
