What is going on with his face? Like he is morphing into the red skull.

AI age verification bot thinks young people still say ‘cool cool cool’. A good example of aging training data right here.

Easy, we are all still non-paperclip like.

an online right-wing subculture with tech overtones, which was somewhat interconnected with the rationality community

They admit it!

she got engaged to an unnamed far-right writer but they broke up when she got pregnant.

Ironic considering all the anti-black racism.

I was talking about that one, shit didn’t I even mention the goblins? Lol, sorry about that.

They just don’t call it model collapse, and that fixes the problem. (Somebody on bsky said ‘hey that isn’t actually model collapse, read this article on it written by the AI company’. And then the article described model collapse, but didn’t call it model collapse, it was amusing. (And I went into it, thinking I could be wrong, going ‘ah so it is only related to a specific set of instructions’, but then the article also showed that models without those instructions had the the problem (in a much smaller way, but the bad instructions were spreading due to synthetic data))).

edit: Nevermind… The Epstein Hysteria

Double ducked, what a rollercoaster. (I thought you made a good point before that).

The Epstein take is made worse by the fact that despite Epstein and Maxwell and some people who resigned, nobody has been charged with anything yet from what I know. It is a ‘witchhunt’ (using the words of people who find this overblown) that doesnt even burn witches.

Chaotic annoying.

E: now im wondering, did musk destroy the saying on purpose? Did he overhear somebody complain about some long meeting of his they just attended with ‘this could have been a tweet’ and go: ‘we will see about that’. He is petty enough for it, after all he most likely went after USAID because USAID was going after starlink.

This could have been a tweet.

It could. Thanks elon for allowing walls of text as tweets… ;)

he can pretend to address roko’s basilisk without acknowledging it.

Fun how hard they have to work to show both that it is not a thing that is taken seriously and it is a risk. And how much easier it is when you go ‘yeah, that is silly, high intelligence isn’t magic’. Of course the latter stance also means there is no AI god who will resurrect the dead.

Don’t think it is, as the revolt predates British decisions by a while, and ‘there is now potentially a country which will materially support slave revolts’ changes the economic risks a bit.

And FDT asks: what action would my algorithm outputting make me expect to be the richest if it was settled at the start of time?

Milkshake ducked

At times you need to ask yourself, does the devil need more advocates? And how much does he even pay?

Did a quick search but is that post really talking about the abolition of slavery and not mentioning Haiti once?

Knowing that would require techbros to actually read, so I’m not shocked

This made me wonder/have a quick revelation. You know how those 419-scams are intentionally misspelled a bit so people who would not fall for the scam later down the line get weeded out early? What if this is why all these companies name themselves after evil artifacts, and or misuse fables, etc (I seem to recall a Hillary Clinton convention also had a ‘we are gonna do ozymandias’ thing, but not sure if that was real). It is to weed out the skeptics who might scare away the easier marks. What if this isn’t by accident, but intentional? (Could also just be my paranoia).

Thanks

That sucks so much. But thanks anyway everybody, my post was half shitpost, half serious. (And I know some things can’t be easily converted, (but my regexp to match xhtml script is almost complete).

I’m a bit surprised (but not totally) there actually was a proper tool for it a bit, even if it is vibe corrupted now.

Wow, this helped. Thanks a lot!

So, anybody know the regular linux commands to turn a pdf into markdown? I assume there is a simple command that does that for you, if there isn’t already a pdf2markdown.
