Their words
I stopped replying almost entirely to my replies on my own Tweets because I expect all of them to just be LLM slop.

Aligning with a party prevents you from ever having this (obviously correct) opinion. Trump's grifting (meme coin, selling early access to tweets, $5k bribes) is gross, unnecessary, and destroys confidence in markets and politicians. The Trump accounts are a fantastic achievement and could change millions upon millions of Americans' lives. Quoting @MebFaber The single worst trade I can think of: Sacrificing your mental independence and emotional health to align with a political party. Zero upside and massive downside. Try subbing out "ideas" for "party" in my favorite @AdamMGrant quote America Related

Machine-learning researcher on open language models; writes the Interconnects newsletter and the RLHF Book, after leading post-training at Ai2.
Was spending too much time reading Tweets, so set out to write down why one resignation turned the embers of AI fear into a wildfire -- and importantly square which claims I think are valid or hyperbole in the resulting discourse. interconnects.ai

Their words
This is, by the way, also why the category of “an AI trained on person X” is absolutely BS. People change their minds in light of new information, the “AI trained on X’s writing/videos/tweets” does not

I use this Vinod Khosla tweet with apologies to Vinod, since tweets are often out-of-context or emotive, to launch a discussion on the trade-off between scaling up and building business models (profitability) that every business faces. Related

Economist; former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund.
There were some long (too long) tweets earlier which stated it carefully. The basic point is that the decrease in interest payments is offset by a decrease in transfers from the central bank, leaving the deficit unchanged. This is the sense in which it makes no difference, except accounting. Then, there is a thousand caveats, which Quentin and others have discussed, and then the psychological/political effects that make things worse. But the basic point is the basic point. :) Quoting @JohnHCochrane Olivier: I know tweets are short, but you really should qualify “makes no difference”. To what—and not to what else? Inflation? Can all countries and banks default on all assets held by ecb with “no difference?” You don’t mean that of course. Don’t let them misquote you! interest rates Related

Their words
Tweets from 1765-1799 by a 4’9” hunchback physicist, friends with Goethe and Kant, admired by Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, etc. Such wonderful random thoughts, beautiful perspectives on thinking for yourself, observing nature, language, freedom, philosophy, religion, and more. Hundreds of initial insights, especially inspiring because they’re undeveloped.

I paid zero attention to tweets about the FAA NOTAM outage today. Speculation from a distance and hindsight-driven attempts at being insightful in these situations are never worth the cost on attention. Related

I hate manager READMEs I got feisty on twitter this week and wrote up some tweets on manager READMEs, a recent hot trend in management. Let’s break them down: Dropping f-bombs is one of my "quirks" Well, what can I say, I’m sick of this trend…

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
