I did another podcast with @tobi. We ended up kinda just geeking out on AI for hours. The members' cut is out: https://t.co/iMzgh5t4aW ... I am worried this episode might be a little too nerdy for everyone, but the feedback from early listeners seems to be: 'This is the best podcast of the year; I need to listen more than once; and I am so far behind on AI.' The public release is Tuesday, and it's a little less in the weeds, but if you want the nerd edition, get the members' cut.

I asked @tobi about super intelligence. "Super intelligence is the existence of something vastly smarter than us in the aggregate that's accessible to us, which is society, which is the city, which is the community." "We are living in the presence of superintelligence our entire lives." "We make it work because we've created systems by which you know, which govern the super intelligence and how it acts."

"Humans take responsibility. Machines can help us take more responsibility because they can inform us better." How do we use AI to make better decisions? @tobi says 'Creating human-in-the-loop decision surfaces is a way to describe the ideal environment.' "If I need a really important decision made, and I really need it ex-exceptionally good, give me the most neutral ground truth."

Lazy work used to mean too little output. Now, with AI, it often means too much and more work for everyone else. @tobi call it "slop grenades." A "Slop Grenade" is when you let AI produce the work and pass it on without adding any value (including checking it). Someone else has to wade through it, catch the mistakes, and clean up the mess. You save time and look productive but someone else pays for it.

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.
