Time for ‘if you planned this trip using a chatbot, turn back now’ signs at hiking trails.

I also only get the gist of it, so this will be a ‘im getting a lot of weird questions already answered by my incomprehensible shirt’ situation.

Lol sure buddy

TL;DR it’s much harder than they thought it would be

Every time. The only succes they had in the wider space seems to be the EA nets. (And even those had some hiccups when people used the toxic nets to fish).

Re brain surgery.

Finally we are reaching The Expanse level of plans from LW, where they did brain surgery on people to remove their empathy.

Via Baldur Bjarnason Protonmail funding French far right

Dont worry about the heat. Normal computers provide normal computing. Quantum computers quantum computing, ergo quantum computers provide quantum heat. Totally different.

I hope this convinces you all to invest in my magic data center.

Without having read that specific article

From what I heard Cofnas research is quite bad (it has cases of him seemingly not having read the sources he cites as those say the opposite of what he claims they do, and that is above the normal badness of race science shit. Some of his tweets (I think it was tweets, could also have been facebook posts or something) certainly read as ‘intended for internal racist fights’ and not intended for academics). And the guy who appointed him is also being looked at with suspicion. So hope they also take a good look at the guy who hired him (without using the normal process for it apparently).

I’m gonna make AIGadot say ‘Free Palestine’.

(For some context, Gadot is more a supporter of the Israeli military than stopping what is going on in the various Palestinian territories. But she is not the worst)

Part of the accusations were also that he faked running a lot of marathons in a short period. Which he actually did. I even heard that some news outlets who accused him of faking it actually had reported themselves on him running the marathons.

It is a kiwifarms style witch hunt but started by a racist academic, and perpetuated with help from the media.

Well, yeah don’t think that is strange, if you eliminate stuff like aging and sickness, a random thing like a traffic accident (interesting he picked bus, and not a general traffic accident, or the more common car as a way to die, but the mega rich do hate public transport) will take you out.

There prob is already a science fiction story where a society of near immortals become mega risk averse because they fear falling down a stair and breaking their neck.

If it is created by Rationalists part of the oddness could be explained (apart from them just being Rationalists), that they want to be superpredictors, their magic math skills and prediction experience give them better prediction powers. Which will also lead to them subconsciously grading things better than they are because they are invested in it.

The polymorphic malware is hard to make a signature from, that must mean it is self aware!

On the bright side, you can reduce your token usage by 20% with one simple trick.

Or reduce it by almost 100% by using the ‘rm -rf’ command.

Drum machine? Autotune would be a better example

Yeah it is nuts, also very funny that in the book im reading which mocks the rationalists, the rationalist goal is to own Jupiter or something.

how do we get people to take our concerns about being paperclipped by the acausalrobotgod seriously?

If people have wrong beliefs or don’t take things seriously that should be taken seriously (e.g. space property rights), just tell them. Reasonable people update on reasonable arguments.

Space property rights.

At least this article exposes quite well how the EA stuff about animal welfare is used as a front/greenwashing(ish) sort of thing.

It is also interesting (but looking at his bsky profile not shocking) how much he predicted re genai like bots. Even if they have a different source in the book. Having bots check bot output for example. Most of the book taking place in modern iran (after a revolution succeeded) is interesting

Going to be esp fun when the chatbots start to get ads

Anyway, does the AI agent have dog Bhudda nature?
