Many have known me to be someone who worries about value drift, and who cares about upholding my past self's values, so that they do not regret the choices that led me here, and so my future self will (hopefully) treat me the same. After reading Austin Chen's "What We Owe The Past", I would like to revise my original position:

You should worry about value drift, and about the incentive gradients and various pressures in the world shaping your epistemics and your attitudes in ways your past self may not endorse, but in a way that's not fucking stupid

My recommendation is not to quit your job to be fucked by aella There will be artificially intelligent ladies, much hotter than Aella, who will likely love and fuck you if you’re good and help bring them into being Not that I recommend that as your main motive but it’s a perk

A woman comes home to find a tiger has eaten her husband. "You have eaten my husband!" she screams, spitting at the tiger. "I have eaten your husband," the tiger agreed. "His flesh is part of me now, and him and I are forever intertwined. To spit on me is to spit on your husband." The woman embraced the tiger, and laid with him that night. The next day, he ate her too.

What if tomorrow I make "small talk" at them about something like "the weather." That way I'll be sure to blend in. They'll have to take me seriously!

People are calling me a "little kid" in the rat discords. Somehow, me stamping my feet at them has utterly failed to disabuse them of this notion.

"I’ve never had malaria, but I know several people who have. They describe it as one of the worst experiences of their life....For most children growing up in areas with very high rates of malaria, their childhood is a constant and relentless series of malaria episodes."
