I read this twice as LLM interference engine and was hoping for something like SETI or Folding@Home except my computer could interfere with ChatGPT somehow.

Seeing that, I too immediately thought, in popehat voice, “It’s not RICO.”

unsettling.

Indeed.

Not everyone wants ai for their search tools

inviasions. Sounds better in Makadonian.

I think that he might share a social media manager with Jordan “please stop me from posting” Peterson.

I think that people have a really hard time conceptualizing compound interest rates. $10,010 invested with bit connect at their claimed rates would be $3.1 million after 12 months. But you get your “capital back” after 4 months?

The interminable length has got to have started out as a gullibility filter before ending up as an unspoken imperative to be taken seriously in those circles

I went to the study, and that’s the global market size for all sex toys annually, and just eyeballing another chart, butt plugs might be 10% of that. So butt plugs are around $3 or $4 Billion. On the bright side, unlike AI safety, butt plugs actually serve a function.

Thank you —she and this video are new to me - very good!

I like the wet your finger and stick it up in the air forecasting model. OK - there’s 1.5 billion pocket-sized iPhones - so let’s say 2 billion person-sized robots, you know,

I’m wondering about the supply chain issues just making the extra half billion robots, might be kind of a big deal. Are there enough rare minerals in the whole world to do this? Lithium batteries? Computer chips?

Also, yeah, valuation based on revenue and not EBITA / profit margins, but whatever.

Not a cult.

Same here - I had a very small universe curated for myself. I didn’t leave immediately, but when I did, there were a whole lot more weird ads and bots and stuff in my feed. I think that I only ever saw prøn once, and I was actually shocked that it even existed on Twitter.

Maybe AI could do Better than we’ve done… We’ll make great pets

Hard to know if “Contovicsy” is an AI in-joke or a Grauniad in-joke. Or neither.

Paying 20-somethings to have orgies on the beach in Bali is a form of charity, if their laptops are nearby.
