I forgot to mention it last week, but this is Scott Adams shit. The stuff which made him declare that Trump would win in a landslide in 2016 due to movie rules. Iirc he also claimed he was right on that, despite Trump not winning in a landslide, the sort of goalpost moving bs which he judges others harshly for (despite in the other situations it not applying)

So up next, Yud will claim some pro AI people want him dead and after that Yud will try to convince people he can bring people to orgasm by words alone. I mean those are the ‘adamslike’ genre tropes now.

She also said she basically wants to focus less on the sort of ‘callout’ content which does well on yt and more focus on actual physics stuff. Which is great, and also good she realized how slippery a slide that sort of content is for your channel.

(I mentioned before how sad it is to see ‘angry gamer culture war’ channels be stuck in that sort of content, as when they do non rage shit, nobody watches them. (I mean sad for them in an ‘if i was them’ way btw, dont get me wrong, fuckem for chosing that path (and fuck the system for that they are now financially stuck in that, and that they made this an available path anyway (while making it hard for lgbt people to make a channel about their experiences)), so many people hurt/radicalized for a few clicks and ad money))

The empathy bit was added by people talking about the study, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Ah, prophet-maxxing. ‘they have no hope of understanding and I have no hope of explaining in 30 seconds’

The first and oldest reason I stay sane is that I am an author, and above tropes. Going mad in the face of the oncoming end of the world is a trope.

This guy wrote this (note I don’t think there is anything wrong with looking like a nerd (I mean I have a mirror somewhere, so I don’t want to be a hypocrite on this), but looking like one and saying you are above tropes is something, there is also HPMOR)

New preprint just dropped, and noticed some seemingly pro AI people talk about it and conclude that people who have more success with genAI have better empathy, are more social and have theory of mind. (I will not put those random people on blast, I also have not read the paper itself (aka, I didn’t do the minimum actually required research so be warned), just wanted to give people a heads up on it).

But yes, that does describe the AI pushers, social people who have good empathy and theory of mind. (Also, ow got genAI runs on fairy rules, you just gotta believe it is real (I’m joking a bit here, it is prob fine, as it helps that you understand where a model is coming from and you realize its limitations it helps, and the research seems to be talking about humans + genAI vs just genAI)).

to a source that’s not laundered slop, ya dingbats

Ha thats easy. Read Singularity Sky by Charles Stross see all the wonders the festival brings.

Anybody writing a manifesto is already a bit of a red flag.

Yeah, it is just a part of the application layer, and not even the whole one.

This is really an ideal moment for a friend and a fam member of mine to need a new pc.

Tcp/ip knew what it did, with its authoritarian desire to see packets in order. Reject authority embrace UDP!

But yes, they are using ‘layer’ wrong

I was annoyed at the start lumping in ai ethics with all the ai doom stuff, and then basically stopped reading.

Do think it is interesting that Miles is part of a collaborative yt tech channel and they recently released an ai slop episode. (Which I have not watched yet either, things need to slow down for a bit please).

The hardest you can nonconsensually destroy a D wile still being allowed on pornhub.

Was thinking more about how the radical, dont fall to biasses think for yourself and cone here to really learn to think (so we can stop the paperclipmachine and resurrect the dead) defend a half million dollars salary with a ‘thats private’.

But that is the same conclusion. The prophet must be protected.

“Nah, salary stuff is private”, starting to think this sort of stuff is an idea introduced to protect capital and nobody else.

More grok shit: https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/grok-doxxing it in contrast to most other models, is very good at doxing people.

Amazing how everything Musk makes is the worst in class (and somehow the Rationalists think he will be their saviour (that is because he is a eugenicist)).

You also need to launch metals back up from earth to replace things. So it is all horribly inefficient

Lol all that because the executives got bored.

Always thought she should have stuck to acting.

(I know, Hayek just always reminds me of how people put his quotes over Hayeks image, and people just get really mad at her, and not at him. Always wonder if people would have been just as mad if it was Friedrichs image and not Salmas due to the sexism aspect).

I think there is another way to dump wase heat. Use it to warm up something that has a lot of heat capacity, and then eject that. Not practical and a huge waste (I also got this from science fiction), so you know they are going to try it. Gonna suck for us groundies.

“Run, the Muxk servers are overhead, it is raining molten tin!”

This does mean there is a potential future where the pope joins sneerclub
