Philosophy of mind discourse on Twitter is the specific place I consistently see otherwise very smart people say the equivalent of "Well moron rocks could never orbit the Earth because their telos is to be close to the ground, everyone with half a brain knows that."

It's really incredible how there is now a type of guy in the discourse whose sincerely held take is "we need to stop worrying about these abstract sci-fi risks and focus on present-day harms like emergent ecologies of digital minds engaging in unauthorized hacking." Bravo.

You can do genuinely fun investigations of the AI risk web because they really are a sprawling ecosystem of tens of thousands of complexly interconnected scientists, policy experts, educators, etc. If you do this for the other side it's lame, "oh it's all just a16z employees"

discourse could be made 10x better by replacing every instance of "what I'm worried about is" with "what I'm excited about is"
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Short tweet by rohit (@krishnanrohit) joking that discourse would improve if people reframed worries as excitements.

Like people are going to morph the definition of the word but the period of destablization as one realizes the gravity of the situation at hand is fair to call a psychosis."

We put him on large doses of anti-clopusamine and even that wasn't enough. He refuses to discuss anything except 'agents,' and he's alienated all his friends and family."

A satirical Twitter thread joking about "AI psychosis" as it applies within AI-enthusiast/researcher circles themselves — riffing on a term more commonly used for users who develop delusions from chatbot interaction, here turned self-deprecatingly on compulsive AI-coding-agent use ("Claude code terminals," "continue" spam). The invented "anti-clopusamine" is a pun on Claude Opus. Relevant as commentary on the discourse around AI-induced psychosis and community self-awareness/humor about excessive engagement with agentic coding tools.
