@4yp6vspmjn Really beautiful. I bought my parents tickets to see George Jones at Turning Stone in 2000—the only concert I remember my father attending. He passed in 2019, on their wedding anniversary, so this one hits a little harder.

@BigMoNOLA @PoliceThePolic1 Also, your GIF appears static on my end—more like a link—so some of the intended tone didn’t come through.

@BigMoNOLA @PoliceThePolic1 My bad if you were being sarcastic. I’ve had people misread me the same way when I was joking. With this topic, though, I’ve seen people make almost identical arguments completely seriously.

@BigMoNOLA @PoliceThePolic1 He’s literally doing the job he chose and is paid by taxpayers to do. Scrutiny of bad cops matters more than applause for basic competence because police are entrusted with extraordinary power over other people.

@AntiquarianMuse Wow. If only someone had warned him this could happen. Maybe it was preventable.

@stellahelene6 @smc429 Yes, and I do. Some of what I’m griping about comes from personal experience, complicated by very messy local politics and policing.

@AntiquarianMuse Not sure if you're right, but it actually makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for sharing, and for highlighting a distinction worth making: A Practical Simulation Theory is not a metaphysical claim. It is about models, representations, and information processing—not evidence for larger metaphysical or creationist claims.

I’m creating a short video explaining A Practical Simulation Theory. It’ll be my first narrated video with animation, so if there are any specific questions you’d like me to address, let me know.

Most Simulation Theory arguments ask whether reality is generated by some higher system. This paper asks a smaller, practical question: What if simulation is not only something we might be inside, but something that arises from within reality whenever living beings build models

@emmadavisx_ Sorry—I somehow never got a notification for this. But yes, exactly. An algorithm quietly deciding which researchers are allowed to find an audience is itself a weak-signals problem.

Happy 4th of July to anyone who can see my posts. I’ve been posting more of my recent research papers over on Mastodon, where they seem to be reaching the right people a bit better. AI, meaning, weak signals, interpretation, agent architectures, etc. mastodon.social/@StephenAPutman

@AntiquarianMuse Never got to see Nirvana. Never got to see Bowie. And I guarantee this is sold out, so I’ll miss another great one.

@EastEndJoe Mine’s more like one of those pop-up books. Just not a very good one.

@Randomjanitor86 In the ’80s and ’90s, people often told my father he looked like Archie Bunker.

@JoyWhite54 @AntiquarianMuse All the more reason to act on the evidence when cameras do catch it.

@swd2 Enjoy! Cigars pulled me back into cigarettes twice, so I stay away now. Even years later, they still look delicious.

@Maynard598212 😂All I did was leave a nice, friendly comment. I’m still not sure what he “loved” about it, considering how hostile he seems toward so much of what those people represented.

@Maynard598212 When I saw him share this, I thought, “Oh, he must be liberal.” Still not sure which part of the commercial he loved.

@MatthewNichol5 That Coffee Achievers commercial had a remarkably forward-thinking lineup. Ken Anderson championed disability inclusion, while Heart, Bowie, and Vonnegut held views still considered liberal or progressive today. Impressive company for an ’80s coffee ad.
