has it ever had any effect on him?

Yeah they’ll make medbeds any day now. Or maybe it’s for their internal use only, because they’ll noticed bubble and don’t like what they’re seeing. I wonder if they’re foolish enough to vacuum up all data from companies that used their chatbots to come up with something hoping that no one will notice

Every single bit of that is so fucking stupid, they’re replaying crypto playbook 1:1. Spot an industry that they think they’ll manage in, then try to leech off of it in purest display of rentseeking imaginable, coupled with techbros folk belief that since programming is soo haard, then as they can do that they can do everything else too, all with no plan, no labs, no specialists onboard or faintiest idea what they’re doing

every week of work with biologists brings another “guess we doin circles now” moment. there’s simply so many things that were never measured, measuring them requires knowing what are you doing, proper experimental design and interpretation of results, that are affected by myriad factors and dozens of feedback loops. none of that is in training data of course, and even if it was it would help very little because humans measuring that would make better use of these results first. but don’t worry about that, machine god will learn relativity from three video frames and will make peter thiel immortal right away

“I have become greedier” - exactly the kind of shit you want to hear from major bagholder when it’s definitely not a bubble

apparently it’s NFPA (american fire safety code) thing. these regulations might have been written when inhalational anesthetics were flammable. also keep in mind that people under anesthesia can’t move and that was also probably a factor

maybe it is for power cord specifically, and the same type is used for hospital equipment. some of (modern) anesthetics are powerful solvents but not particularly flammable. maybe it also has something to do with potential extra oxygen (or nitrous oxide) content in air

akshually 🤓 it’s a six years long cycle (2 years + 3 years) but under no circumstances you will deprive village’s assigned reactionary of their soapbox. without church, who would be running political interference??

for the last three years and a bit, silicon valley has promised eradication of everything from writer to filmmaker as a career. after all this i don’t think that devs get to hitch their wagon to artists for sympathy points

yeah bet on their blog they posted urbit 101 beginners guide. not linking that for obvious reasons

with such tenure i wonder if some of these people are interns or something in current american administration

only 8% of the time

sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_butchering_scam it’s in early phase so far

yeah china just makes things, i doubt that iranian military ever had a shot at getting american gnss receivers. any of modern civilian ones allows for use of signals from all 4 constellations anyway, and the jamming resistance comes from either using encrypted signals or by using more sophisticated receivers that have tiny phased array and can cut out a zone where jammer is (to some degree)

The traditional way to exchange brain worms has been replaced by LW forum tho

still 84% to go

idk i think it’s new that someone in mainstream sort of calls them cultists, namedrops EY as cult leader and fanfic writer and everything that you could hear about in our circlejerk, but also shortly before EZ said that he’s been called doomer and a crank but now he’s vindicated to a degree not thought possible. this all happens after drop of that openai financial info, so EZ also held off, and EZ is PR guy so i guess he knows what he’s doing, and maybe he thinks this might be it, or maybe he doesn’t have anything better and plays his hand in best way he can. i wonder what comes next

keep up, chinese are waay ahead of you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_wheel tell the president about narrowing prayer gap immediately

zitron’s last podcast calls anthropic/openai top brass weirdos and cultists they are, describes their beliefs about building the machine god as bad philosophy and something that must go hard when you’re 12 https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/the-ai-industry-must-stop-doom-trolling-w-cal-newport

That’s definitely not a sign that Softbank runs out of money

scams and propaganda

you’ll be lucky until you aint, then you’ll get banned for ban evasion
