not really a “human supremacy” issue at hand here. If you don’t know about AI safety/alignment you should probably do some lurking

Whoop whoop

Bayesian Clown Posse

Now we just need the tech bros to make sure the beep boops have human loyalty as top priority. But sigh we know where thats going…

round these parts us folk don’t take kindly to alignment talk

Yud’s whole project is a pipeline intended to create zizians, if you believe that Yud is serious about his alignment beliefs. If he isn’t serious then it’s just an unfortunate consequence that he is not trying to address in any meaningful way.

Ah but, you see, the end goal of the internet is serving slop and ads

hi hi I am budweiser jabrony please join my new famous and good website ‘tapering incorrectness dot com’ where we speculate about which OSI layers have the most consciousness (zero is not a valid amount of consciousness) also give money and prima nocta. thanks

The real infrastructure is the friends we made along the way

I am not familiar with Case or her work, but based on my shallow research, she’s part of the cohort of internet stuff-communicators including people like Vi Hart or the Oatmeal etc. Not casting aspersions on anyone here, but I’d be interested to know who amongst them have revealed their chud nature and who has remained pristine (…for now).

bring back rich people rolling their own submarines and getting crushed to death in the bathyal zone

I was teasing this out in my head to try come up with a good sneer. First thought: for an organisation that tries to appeal to EAs, you’d think that they would do a good job of being transparent about why so much money is being spent on someone with such low output. But immediate rebuttal: the whole point of the TESCREAL cult shit is that yud get free tuocs because he’s the chosen one to solve alignment.

announcing “leeroy jenkins” mode for grok where it just posts your tweet drafts and you can’t delete them

I’m thinking nydus worms from SC2 or the GLA tunnel system in C&C generals.

Lol, honestly, that’s on you for having incorrectly adjusted priors. Whenever I catch wind of a prompting snafu, I immediately assume I’ll hear the rejoinder of “You must be prompting it wrong”.

Guy does a terrible job explaining literally anything. Why, when trying to explain all the SA based drama, does he choose to create an analogy where the former employee is heavily implied to have murdered his wife?

S/o to cinnaverses for mixing it up in there.

Computer scientist Louis Rosenberg argues that dismissing AI as a “bubble” or mere “slop” overlooks the tectonic technological shift that’s reshaping society.

“Please stop talking about the bubble bursting, I haven’t handed off my bag yet”

what with CPUs moving to integrated RAM

Can I blame Apple for this

I like this. Kinda wish it was either 10x longer and explained things a bit, or 10x shorter and was more shitposty. Still, good

+1, also it’s just unrealistic when people say we should stop using orbital data centres. They’re here and we should get used to them, because nothing we do can influence their development. Also, we need to be involved in the space data center industry or we won’t be able to influence their development later.*

That’s pretty long and you should definitely repost it in the next sack. I lightly skimmed it and will read it in full later.

RE, the LLM of it all: Wonder how many times this has already happened:

“AI, please invent a new project management ideology for me, improving on agile and waterfall!”

“Certainly. Here’s AgileFall, a linear combination of the two. What the fuck were you expecting here?”
