Omfg, parachuting in here to say that going out of one’s way to shit talk luddites is like saying protests are bad because of vandalism or property damage etc. Fuck this guy

Hey, why not both

Seeing as we never explicitly litigated what happened and mostly just trolled the guy: I mean it would be one thing if the guy came in and made a joke about it sharing the name with another, unrelated movie. Like, ok, sure, whatever. But guy came in specifically criticising the title of a documentary. And acting like the movie was the sole owner of the title, which as was pointed out, was almost definitely taken from the name of a thought experiment. Things get named after other things all the time! It’s fine!

Like imagine this was an instance discussing sports and doping. And Gerard posted about the documentary “Icarus” being released on youtube. Then guy comes along getting pissed and confused that the documentary shares the name with “Icarus”, the seventh episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Guy should just get banned for being off topic. Instead we trolled him for entertainment.

Anyway no further responses from me, don’t really know why you’re going to bat for this guy, people have been banned for less

If I had the time and interest I’d look at their literature but unfortunately I lack both. Filing this under: probably a grift

you can’t deny their foresight.

skill issue

Wow they adapted the movie into an anime

Why a decade of doomsday warnings failed to slow the AI race

Glad to see who was phone alive and well in 2026

Gotta admit I was sure they meant GiTS at first. Otherwise I would have gone with Maximum Overdrive or Lawnmower Man or something

Glad to play the clown and see where the clown car would go

I just don‘t understand how this fucking guy kept doubling down on fucking nothing. Thanks for letting this continue for as long as it did

your confused and I am trying to help. How am I being a dick. Or a troll

I’m just trying to be helpful, I’m like 9000% sure you meant Ghost In The Shell (2017) starring beat takeshi. You can just admit your wrong and move on

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_(2017_film) I think you meant this link, that other link links to a different, unrelated movie

pretty sure you mean Ghost in the Shell (2017)

i think you mean 2017

hmm. Sounds like an average chapter of Franken Fran

if trump says “rokos basilisk” on tape I’m done

Wake me up when trump starts tweeting about decels

I haven’t seen any mention of this in sneer space, so kind of a request for context/comments. I recently learned about Cortical Labs from a news story that came out about a month ago. Basically (and apologies if I’ve got this wrong), the story is that they’ve built a “biological data centre” where the computing units use lab-grown human brain neurones. They’ve been in business (actual business) since 2019. Some shallow searching on reddit and lesswrong shows a flitter of interest from those guys here and there.

In case one desperately needed a non AI alternative, progress quest exists and has been around since 2002
