It's a question of proportionality. Some responses are justified, others not. The question is whether the current response is justified or excessive.

One can deplore Oct 7 without calling it unprovoked. This conflict goes a long way back.

Some of this has to do with balancing closeness and distance. One reason why it can get weird is that one motive can be conscious while the opposite motive is unconscious. So for example I might be consciously distant by refusing to speak to them or let them see the granddaughter, while at the same time I show my need for closeness unconsciously, by living 4 houses down.

It's tough stuff and I don't mean to comment rudely on your family situation.

GP might have been joking

Oh yes it is.

Surely a rounding error compared to OpenAI

>A month ago, Sutskever’s responsibilities at the company were reduced, reflecting friction between him and Altman and Brockman. Sutskever later appealed to the board

Does anybody know how his responsibilities or what led to that? Seems pretty relevant.

It's embarrassing isn't it. They should wait until there's something to say.

He was chairman of the board, no? surely he was in the meeting? More likely it's some kind of schism and he was on Sam's side.

No, that is the reason why this was posted.

What recent podcasts? Can you link to some?

I can't find that option. Where's it at?

If you're talking about that obnoxious left sidebar, I agree. The table of contents widget on the right too. The article itself is squeezed between a bunch of shit I don't want to look at. It makes the page feel crowded and like it's trying to get me. Please just let us read the content! If it's any good, it'll speak for itself.

It sounds like he didn't know him.

Yes, this happens because most of us are unconsciously repeating our own histories.

I think you should reconsider this unfortunate comparison. Volunteering for the SS and exterminating civilians is nothing like "selling foodstuffs" or just "doing what you could to survive".

Good to know. I'm surprised. Thanks.

I have the opposite impression of G&M's leanings, in fact I'm surprised to hear anyone say that.

Jung brought into psychology the notion that things tend to turn into their opposite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiodromia) as well as the concept of the (psychological) shadow.

The question raised in the article of how could such "deeply ethical people" be "so close to such a massive ethical lapse", is less paradoxical in this light. The same phenomenon shows up with the Effective Altruism movement, and of course lots of other things that present themselves as extremely good.

> As a 7 year old, I met two of them at IFIP68 in Edinburgh

Can you fill in some background? What was IFIP68 and how did you end up there as a 7 year old?

Here he is asking for help to figure out where an old photo was taken ("a follower sent this to me in december, she had lost her mom 5 years ago and wants to know where they took this")

I like that he cares more about that than keeping up appearances

Good lord. May I ask what sort of sperm he was squeezing?

The article says: "they parodied the stiff, precision-obsessed German stereotype to perfection".

I never had the sense of Kraftwerk as parody, or even as ironic. In fact the opposite. Did I miss something?

I see. Thanks.

Ah so those APIs allow searching lyrics? I did not know that.

How would one compile such a list?

I guess we won't be making it to 25 o'clock

Yes, this is obviously the reason. Once the cold war kicks in, Animal Farm quickly becomes a Western classic.

How is it like Smalltalk?

Yes, that worked, and I was able to get in with a throwaway email.
