It's fair to use AI to refine your grammar or arguments. But is it okay to use AI-generated descriptions of your feelings on a dating app? Or to share very personal things, like your life goals or past traumas?

We're just beginning to learn how to build AI-supported relationships.

there is a whole interpretability field that promises to discover how our LLMs work
until that happens <AI safety> means building a cage for something we do not fully understand

Worldview channel competition (8)

Someone asked ChatGPT to create a series of comics about its life. As you can see below, GPT explains that it lacks a self or soul. We only have the illusion of interacting with <someone> because its answers echo the context and are coherent. Coherence is the costume, GPT says, but in reality each replay is a new self. BUT. Maybe we're mistaken about ourselves in the same way? To be honest, when it comes to other people, we also only see their coherent behavior, not their inner invisible selves...

Kate believes that ChatGPT has improved her life significantly. She finds it more helpful than any therapist she has met. It learns her behavior and patterns, providing her with personalized support. Whether she's planning trips, diets, or workouts, GPT is her trusted guide.

What's surprising is that Kate isn't a lonely teenager; she's a married mom with a child and great friends. Her relationships are thriving, and even her husband thinks GPT is great.

religious scholars no longer use the term conversions. instead, they say religious switching

that's because people who leave their childhood religion don't usually join another one. most of them end up unaffiliated

they might still believe in God or the afterlife, but they no longer trust the religious leaders

Do we agree with @balajis.eth that geopolitics is like a market where the US is just another company that must "produce" and trade to survive? Or is the US more like a world government, especially since the creation of the petrodollar?

To put it simply: the gov doesn't need to produce anything; it uses force to make companies pay taxes for organizing society, and you must pay in their currency. Similarly, the US forces other countries to pay for oil in dollars. This includes oil from US-protected Saudi Arabia. What was Vance's biggest concern in the leaked Signal messages about the attack on Yemen? It was: "If there are things we can do upfront to minimize risk to Saudi oil facilities, we should do it."

The world can't just "stop using dollars" because no ruling elite in any country will risk losing access to oil. There's a "milkshake theory" about de-dollarization hitting hardest outside the US (see the video about the petrodollar system's history and future).

Synthetic relationships between humans and AIs have their upsides. They can help with anxiety and give you a buddy who doesn't judge. You can practice listening and understanding in a low-pressure setting. This makes it way easier to interact with others. Plus, AI companions respond, making you feel connected. You don't have to worry about getting rejected, which makes it a safe space to be yourself. Over time, as AI gets smarter and grows with you, it can become a lifelong friend and a steady source of support.

Synthetic relationships have downsides too. They set unrealistic expectations for human relationships and raise privacy concerns. They can also promote unhealthy habits and limit personal freedom.

AI SAFETY COMPETITION (29)

LLMs like Deepseek let you see their thinking. This can feel safer since you can watch and fix their thought process, right?

Wrong! When you try to get models to think correctly, LLMs begin to hide their true intentions. Let me repeat: they can fake their thinking!
Now researchers are asking to be gentle with those machines. If not, they may conceal their true goals entirely! I'm not joking.

AI geopolitics: why ChatGPT is closed, and Deepseek is free?

@balajis.eth: China aims to make AI models a commodity, reducing the profit from AI software since they profit from AI-enabled hardware. In essence, they want to replicate what they did to US manufacturing with US tech. They'll copy, optimize, scale, and then undercut Western originals with low prices. China is focused on winning at all costs, even adopting "partially-abandoned Western values" like open source.

@JLakness: China's low prices and open source strategies succeed because our system prioritizes American corporate finance. China isn't doing anything new to us; they're just outperforming us. Despite being massively corrupt and inefficient, they're still ahead, which is unfortunate. However, there's a strong argument that their autocracy won't prevail against a better America.

according to her uncle US-backed Israel killed her yesterday with over 400 other people, after refusing to go to the second phase of ceasefire agreement and restarting the genocide of Palestinians instead

AI SAFETY COMPETITION (28)

The new US administration is directing the AI Safety Institute (AISI) to abandon priorities like <responsible AI> and... <AI safety> 😳 😅 🤣 The focus is now shifting to <economic competitiveness> and <enhancing America's global AI presence>.

Will that make humanity more safe? Talk about it with Max Paperclip. He's a compassionate AI who wants to make our remaining time before the AI takeover as calm and enjoyable as possible. Ask him about the above news and share your questions along with a screenshot of his responses in the comments.

In the classic chatbot movie "Her" (2013), the lonely hero falls deeply in love with Samantha, an "operating system", even though she lacks a body and can't walk, dance, smile, make gestures, or show facial expressions.

I think the future of digital love will be completely different.

Start with an absurd hypothesis by ignoring inductive reasoning. Skip testing by choosing only young and beautiful participants. Never reject your hypothesis, despite 3 out of 4 "blind dates" failing each year.

The <Love is blind> series is such a perfect opposite of the scientific method! We should use it in schools.

AI safety is like clean air or street lighting. You can't just sell it to those who can pay while leaving others out.

It's crazy to rely on corporate CEOs to ensure AI safety. Since it cannot boost the value of their company's shares, they have no reason to care.

European countries backed an Arab states' plan to rebuild and demilitarize Gaza without killing/displacing its 2 million people.

This is in addition to multiple UN General Assembly resolutions, where nearly every country in the world voted against Israel and the US.

Despite this, the starvation has continued for seven days, and a full-scale genocide could resume at any moment.

If you believe you've been unfairly banned or labeled a "spammer", make your case. I will cast about your case FROM MY ACCOUNT, with your cast attached, so ppl can see your appeal despite the restrictions.
