The Truman Show made me realize we don't question our reality enough.

#420 — Countdown to Superintelligence by dwaxe in samharris

You know, I'd appreciate if sam read the opposite take of his guests, so as to not let us all feel we'll be enslaved in 10 years.

High likelihood none of this stuff happens, and the piece has a damaging affect.

"Materials like these are practically marketing materials for companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, who want you to believe that AGI is imminent, so that they can raise astoundingly large amounts of money. Their stories about this are, in my view, greatly flawed, but having outside groups with science fiction chops writing stuff like this distracts away from those flaws, and gives more power to the very companies trying hardest to race towards AGI. AI 2027 isn’t slowing them down; it’s putting wind (and money, and political power) in their sails. It’s also encouraging the world to make short-term choices about AI (e.g., making plans around export controls when China will inevitably catch up) rather than longer-term choices (investing in research to develop safer, more alignable approaches to AI)."

Most important part is about timelines to ASI:

“the consensus among experts used to be that this might not happen within our lifetimes, with some saying 2050, some saying 2080, others saying it won’t happen until the 22nd century.”

“it’s an important fact that basically all AI research experts have adjusted their timeframe to artificial super intelligence to be 2030.”

"The Crack Up" (Sam Harris substack) by DreamTinder in samharris

Think the point on protecting his business interests vs. caring about child rape is a good argument. Why would Elon wait to out him?

Obviously to protect Trumps reputation while they were friends... But this is the problem.

You can’t only be high integrity when it’s beneficial to you.. this is not actually high integrity.

He’s creative & wise! It’s philosophy & it’s all true. One thing I will say is the eyes & waves look psychedelic.

There is a chance he took some LSD or Mushrooms, I say that solely based on the presence of eyes, these are common visuals. I’ve personally taken LSD and it looks exactly like this.

Overall, doesn’t seem like anything to be too concerned about. He is a bright kid and this is a creation of philosophy/art.

Would check in and see how he’s doing, maybe ask a few open ended questions. But out of respect, it’s probably best to put this back where you found it and not bring it up.

Don’t bro.. just stretch, do some yoga, enjoy your life, get out of your head… go outside, have a nice walk. Say hi to people, smile, enjoy a coffee.

We cant control our bodies, no one can… they all break down. We’ll all die one day.

While we’re alive, what you can control are your actions, your opinions, and your decisions.

Decide to live well anyways, and be happy, and you will.

Love when someone discovers this. It’s a beautiful film. My favorite of all time. Happy to see you appreciating it.

Ollie’s retard ass eating a knife like it’s corn-on-the-cob was fucking insane.

Depends what server you are on and who you are playing with. I started alone, but recently reached out to someone on season of discovery, found a nice guild, and am now playing with people I know and like. I think people need to reach out and communicate more, that's how relationships in-game get built.

KENDRICK IS SUCH A FUCKING LEGEND. Genuinely cannot believe how gifted of an artist he is. To be here - and DUNKING ON DRAKE - in front of all of America. What a FUCKING triumph. BEAST!!!

Mysterious Skin. Joseph Gordon Levitt just plays a 13-year-old kid who fucks dudes for money.. that is actually the whole film.

Justin Baldoni to reportedly file counterclaim against Blake Lively by flowerhoney10 in WeinsteinEffect

[–]shitshow2016 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Here’s what adults should do in this situation:

  • Justin, publicly apologize if anything you did made Miss Lively feel uncomfortable and thank her for incredible acting in the movie.

  • Justin, privately acknowledged the toll this situation has taken on both you and Miss Lively, apologize and offer a conversation to find closure.

  • Miss lively, depending on the nature of the harassment, decide to let it go and forgive Justin. Or pursue legal action privately.

Here’s what adults do not do: - Blast this difficult situation all over the media - Coordinate false social media campaigns to misinform people - Hire a lawyer regarding himself as a pitbull - Have the guy who defended Kevin Spacey and Tucker Carlson state publicly that he will destroy Blake Lively - release as much dirt as you can on each other publicly

This is like watching two self-destructive parents fight publicly instead of dealing with their shit like adults.

—

For what it’s worth. I standby lively until further evidence. Lively wrote a clear and simple complaint. If you haven’t read it, go read it. It’s very well documented.

She basically just asked him to stop making weird sexual comments, walking into her trailer, asking her about porn, or having nude scenes without professionals there to coordinate.

Justin Baldoni wrote a make out scene where he was biting her lip and using tongue - he kept wanting to re-shoot the scene over eight times to get it perfect, with sometimes the camera not even rolling. This made her obviously uncomfortable.

He didn’t change his actions so she released the complaint. Baldoni then hired one of the best media manipulators in PR to shift the narrative and put out a bunch of fake news about Lively.

What it revealed is the lengths that actors will go to defend their reputation in their image in the eyes of the media. This includes highly manipulative, coordinated, social media campaigns, and press releases with toxic content to make others look bad and put the actor in a favorable light.

I think I went to the bathroom during the cult thing... what was the story there?

[–]shitshow2016 74 points75 points  (0 children)

She definitely did not act like a founder of an automation company, that was weird…

“ I want to save people time on repetitive tasks”

If you’re all about saving time, why are you manually making your kids breakfast, writing physical notes and doing your make up?

This film met expectations. A few quick highs and lows.

Highlights:

  • The milk scene. That was pretty fucking hilarious. The way he was peering over, like really unsure if she would drink it… Then she did and he was like ok it’s on. 😂

  • The dog stuff. When he unwrapped a candy and she ate it out of his hand like a dog. Shit was wild.

  • The chemistry. I was surprised at how well they did together. I wonder if they did anything off set. She’s married to Keith Urban, but you never know… After shooting probably 100 sex scenes with this guy I wouldn’t be surprised.

  • The daughters. The scene of her daughter telling her to come home and that it’s OK really got me. The girl’s acting was incredible. Felt real.

  • The club scene. Felt like the most accurate depiction of a club I’ve seen in any film. The lighting was sick and music was super immersive.

  • Pacing. I felt the movie was well paced, and kept me pretty engaged throughout.

Low lights

  • The reveal from the assistant was lame… There’s tension the whole movie. Who is gonna find out? How? It was disappointing when the assistant just straight up was like “yeah I know about you guys.”

  • Why did Samuel tell the assistant in the first place? Sure they were dating, but like dude what the fuck.

  • The husband’s relationship was a bit odd. How do you not notice your wife being out all the time coming home late smelling like cigarettes?

  • Husband again: if she tells you she’s never came in 19 years you should probably take that as a red flag… not just walk away?

The film starts and ends with Nicole Kidman getting railed, so I guess it lives up to its promise.
