All this AI progress should only make you more impressed with poets and writers, who remain far ahead of even the very best frontier model outputs 19K views · 242 likes · 21 reposts · 13 replies 03 Sep 2026 @nabeelqu "Psychologically it's easier to downplay the implications" This is not true, it is psychologically easier to turn it into a boogeyman through intentional language and build a mythology around it by playing on ignorance. it is a harder path and less profitable path to g 78 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 31 Aug 2026 @nabeelqu hmm. Doomers are doing an EV calculation: for p(doom) E is small but V is big, so I care about doom. Others have a calculus that amounts to: if p(doom) < ε, disregard and focus on the likely problems. You can disagree but it’s not just cope! 1.1K views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 31 Aug 2026 @nabeelqu I think the obverse is true, some people loooove thinking about the implications, because they have a millenarian kink. We always want it to be the end of the world. Après moi, le déluge kind of mentality.

This is not "anthropomorphizing". They're literally trained on human language and acting in the same world we built; of course they will sometimes express human-like emotions. https://t.co/OzmzpQgT 9K views · 247 likes · 17 reposts · 19 replies 30 Aug 2026 Multi-agent cooperation of this type is a huge deal and plausibly gets us to ASI quite fast. Recall that humans wiped out other human-like species due in part to our superior ability to coordinate with each other in swarms. 17.3K views · 407 likes · 31 reposts · 21 replies 28 Aug 2026
