Fwiw while wit matters in flirting, I've found it's much more about energy. 

I don't know if this abstract description will make sense to you, but ime the way that flirting leads to sex is by continually ramping up sexual tension by a sort of plausible deniability of sexual interest -

one way to do this is you're talking about sexy things but not being overtly sexual with your energy, or having a sexual energy but it's more teasing or talking about non sexy things

In any case, if both people are into it, and don't let the tension escape through other outlets, the way to release it is sexual escalation. And as long as the escalation (E. G. Cuddling, kissing etc) is still less than the sexual energy calls for, the tension continues to build to sexual intimacy. 

Note that getting an at home nebulizer is also quite easy, saved me many a trip to hospital. 

This makes me think of eurisko/automated mathematicion, and wonder what minimal set of heuristic and concepts you can start with to get to higher math. 

I've heard that motor racing is a physically demanding sport, and the physical conditioning required is similar to that of other pro athletes. Any truth to that? 

Aren't the central example of founders in AI Safety the people who founded Anthropic, OpenAI and arguably Deepmind?

This is consistent with founders being undervalued in AI safety relative to AI capabilities. My model of Elon for instance says that a big reason towards pivoting hard towards capabilities was that all the capabilities founders were receiving more status than the safety founders.

It doesn't seem like either thing captures the gears of what's happening to an llm, but it's insofar as you're arguing it's impossible for an llm to be convinced,  I think you should provide better gears or what specific aspect of "convincing" you don't think applies

I dint think that arguing with an llm will reliably enter into a sychophant mode, or that the thing that happens when you go through a series of back and forth argumentation with an llm can be fully explained by it entering into a mask/face

But more importantly it’s a whole memetic egregore, and you can’t really get rid of the bad parts without rejecting the whole egregore. And you can get the good parts without most of the egregore

Can you say more to about why you believe this second part? It's not at all straightforward to me how you pick and choose the good parts of an egregore to "get" them. 

The dominant egregores are selected, so if you want to beat them, you need to out-compete them, which means you can't just select on "goodness" as a criteria, you have to have a cohesive package that outcompetes the existing egregore. 

Historically, memeplexes replicated exclusively through human minds.

I think its often more predictive to model historical memeplexes as replicating through egregores like companies, countries, etc. 

cyber or cyborg egregore

The term we use for this at Monastic Academy is "Cybregore." 

A core part of our strategy these days is learning how to teach these Cybregores to be ethical. 

It seems to me like LLMs can actually be something like convinced within a context window, and don't see why this is impossible
