If there are, I don’t think we’ll hear about them until they crack it. My sense personally is we will figure out consciousness, the free will problem, and get a new interpretation of quantum physics all at the same time.

people who are aggressively empathetic turn out to be weirdly bad at clocking people’s motivations it’s like the gimmes (sad person is sad) give them a false sense of clairvoyance (person who gave me weird look hates me) see also correlation between empathy and magical thinking. same deal.

When you can’t be brutally honest you’re left with two choices: 1. Try to be honest without being brutal 2. Devalue honesty Feels sometimes that culturally we are pinballing in vain between these two approaches.

agreed—must go through great pains to conceal from it which point of view is yours. sadly most people who use it for feedback, especially personal feedback, really *really* like being affirmed vs deal with evenhanded criticism. in this regard Claude is probably best at pushback.
