Hi everyone, it’s “be nice to yourself o’ clock” which means you have to forgive yourself for something boneheaded you did AND you have to make a plan to do a small nice thing for yourself. That’s the rules. What’s a small nice thing? For me it was driving through my favorite local coffee place.

I would be much more likely to visit the Lucas museum if there was a secret room, decked out to look like a slightly messy apartment, that was just a gallery full of pictures of Carrie Fisher having a nice time.

they’re fine with being deskilled by machine learning because it hasn’t hurt them to willfully deskill (or never-skill-in-the-first-place) themselves with regard to all the tasks they consider the domain of either wives or hired help, they assume others will always be available to serve them

This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off.

More generally, it seems like the belief there is no future, whether for society or at a personal level, combined with the ease to disembed oneself from social relations and reembed oneself among other nihilists, has generated a social pandemic of nihilism that's been tearing through people's lives
This is why millenarian/doomsday cultists - which is what the rationalist AI doomers are in many respects - can be a lot more dangerous than others who believe kooky stuff. Nothing creates immediacy and desperation in the human mind like “the end is nigh, and I have to do something about it.”
