The world is heading toward the greatest economic crisis of all time. On the one hand, because of Trump’s idiotic war that is blocking the Strait of Hormuz; on the other, because the economy is evaluated solely on the basis of growth. Endless economic growth is the philosophy of a cancer cell. The common good, environmental destruction, and population decline are not factored in at all. This can only lead to a crisis that keeps getting worse.

My paper is focusing on the brittleness of LLM "personas" and explores more about how they work through my new Epistemic Flux Theory, so I'm still going to publish, but it would have been very nice to have evidence that I predicted the findings of Chen et al.
Their work is going to be a lightning bolt in interpretability.
Here is the working copy of EFT, if you want to dig into the topic beforehand. It's a #philosophy and #ml zone only though!

A small group of collaborators are looking for geometries that exist outside the matrix of spacetime.
The idea is that space and time may not be foundational. They might emerge from some deeper mathematical structure.
Could the Buddhist law of "dependent origination" could be a geometry of this kind?

Happy birthday to #philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) who, amongst other things speculated about a teapot orbiting in space. This lino block print of Russell’s Teapot is part of my series of Imaginary Friends of Science of charismatic thought experiments. In this case, the alledged china teapot, in orbit between Earth and Mars is an analogy by philosopher Bertrand Russell to make the case that the 🧵

Ok here go my #introduction
Hello :)
My name is sondra
I am a #bisexual cis woman in my late 30s whe has been a bisexual activist in brazil (a long time ago)
Now as #immigrant in #Argentina I run a queer antifascist mastodon instance: mariconear (I am @Sondra@mariconear.social there)
I am in the fediverse since 2019 in a brazilian instance and I am the annoying fed person in every group I participate
I practice #BDSM been working as a professional shibari rigger for some years and now as sex worker.
I am non-monogamous and used to organize a very informal and horizontal #nonmonogamy event.
The not so queer parts of my life:
Love #cinema (I log everything on letterboxd), live with 2 cats, like to be outside, to sleep early, good #series and eating with friends.
I study #philosophy , like to read sci-fi and have a bunch of proyects that I don't have still the discipline to actually work on.
Also love #music , #history , #art in general, to learn, meet people, to hug, autumn and spring, banana and peanuts.
Ok I will stop now. It is dangerous having so many space to write :p
Nice to meet you!
