Kelsey Piper ✔ @KelseyTuoc · Jul 6 A lot of people seem to believe that if you sell your soul for power, the metaphorical devil will keep his end of the deal. But more often than not, you sell your soul and don't even get power. There's no rule that if you violate your principles in order to win, you then will win

X (Twitter) — @andrewg... (Andrew Gordon Wilson)

Andrew Gordon Wil... ✔ @andrewg... · 2h In cooking, execution is more important than the dish itself, even for simple dishes. Hummus can be great or terrible. The same is true of scientific ideas. Almost nothing works as we wish at first. Persistence, high standards, and attention to detail make all the difference.

↻ Sichu Lu reposted Henry Shevlin ✔️ @dioscuri — 8h As a teenager reading about the decline of the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, I couldn't understand why they mostly just let it happen. Why not reform urgently, slash the bureaucracy, race to adopt the new technologies? Much less confused these days.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Text-only tweet drawing an implicit analogy between historical imperial decline/inertia and present-day institutional responses (to AI, presumably, given context of the batch).

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Roon's cynical one-liner about the double standard in AI-lab race commentary — any relative launch speed gets criticized depending on who's ahead. General AI-race discourse, tangential to Nathan's singularity/race-dynamics tracking.
