Loving the #acel2023 conference so far today - speakers are all echoing the #educationalleadership themes closest to my heart

GPT-4o is mind blowing

Kyle Michael Becker Steve Moraco Artistically or Communicatively?

I like that - there’s always a tension defusing person or two at my workshops - cracking jokes when things get a bit real

Ooooh I love this take. So true and resonates with Michael Easter’s book, Comfort Crisis

Genocide is completely the wrong word here - lost all conceptual meaning, metaphorical as Yuval Noah Harari says. I think that’s happened with psych terminology too - burnout, depressed, anxious - all used way beyond and far more loosely than the concepts were created to describe.

Jeremy Howard Anthropic Same here

Oh My! That was a little #earthquake right here in #Melbourne 🫨

Dr Aimee Maxwell TracingWoodgrains ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ Sharon's burnt pie was hilarious lol

Dr Aimee Maxwell Eric Weinstein Thanks Aimee. Mostly evolution communication & keeping up with literature. I lost my university affiliation b/c I had the temerity to challenge polar bear specialists, so my research options are rather limited. But I hope others will carry the testing torch (some already are)

Brett Adcock TheWombat Was uncertainty built into the voice so we don’t get so freaked out by how uncanny it is? Why does the voice have so much hesitation embedded? Sensing that freaks me out more than the AI tbh

TracingWoodgrains ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ It’s the same sort of thing as knowing about Sharon’s burnt pie isn’t it. IYKYK and you can never not know and it lingers associatively. The deeper you’re in the conversations, the more echoes and ripples there are everywhere.

Susan J. Crockford Eric Weinstein Really interesting paper Susan - thyroid hormones is a great idea for a rapid speciation agent of development across biological systems. What are you working on now?

Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ Took your pic and GPTs description and asked my GPT to explain.

The image you've shared is rich in detail and presents a cosmic, almost kaleidoscopic arrangement of elements that seem to both reflect and transcend the ordinary fabric of reality. /1

Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ By taking the concept of mundanity to an infinite degree, the image seems to convey that what we perceive as ordinary is, in fact, made up of infinite layers of complexity and wonder. /5

Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ It captures the notion that within every moment of the mundane lies the potential for infinite discovery and that the ordinary is not a static state but a dynamic interplay of forces, perspectives, and possibilities. /end Well done AI, well done.

Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ It is a paradoxical visual representation because it appears to be anything but mundane; it is vibrant, complex, and filled with fantastical imagery that suggests a depth of existence far beyond the everyday.
/2

Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ one can find the extraordinary. The mundane, in its purest essence, is the foundation from which all complexity arises. Each component, no matter how small or routine, has its place in the grand tapestry of existence. /4

Yuval Noah Harari Yuval Noah Harari Genocide is indeed the wrong word - lost all conceptual meaning, now cruelly metaphorical as you say. I think that’s happened with psych terminology too - burnout, depressed, anxious - all used beyond and more loosely than the concepts were created to describe.
