this board is filled with self-satisfied assholes who feel free to hold forth on whatever subject crosses their minds, with the absolute certainty that they’re the smartest people in the room

If your system flagged that as toxic, makes me wonder about the system. Also check your bias against people saying this because it def comes off as true. (And hey if this truth hurts, remember that he didnt claim yall are not the smartest people, yall have 130+ iqs remember).

Forgot to save who said it, but on bsky somebody said they or their friends had come up with a slur for people who use genAI for everything: sloppers.

More people should have read Zima Blue.

Yeah and for all its faults, google still works well at times, I try to use more ddgo, but at times it is easier to find what I want using google. (Or at all), doesnt always work however and google has a massive 'we are pointing to our own stuff/people who pay or might pay first'. Searched for 'lets play' recently and it was very obvious. (You can do that yourself, search for that and see how long it takes you to get to the something awful lets play page, and note the urls of all the results before that (also note not just how many publicates there are but how many are yr)), of course I could have searched for 'lets play something awful' but I wanted to see how long it took for it to show up. (And if SA appears that late, what chance do smaller new non-slop projects have, if only google has less sloppers).

Those who do not study history are doomed to recreate neopets.

Btw, for the people who don't know, you can turn off the AI previews https://udm14.com/ (don't use this site to search, click on what is umd14 and edit your search urls to include that).

It was amusing to see wikipedia keeps a list of fileformats and wordperfect was among them. Which seemed the correct factor of wrong, obscure, but not obscure enough that nobody would notice.

Starting this fight and not 'stop counting at zero you damn computer nerds!' is a choice. DIJKSTRAAAAAAAA shakes fist

(There is more to it in a way, as he is trying to be a Dijkstra, and changing an ingrained system which would confuse everybody and cause so many problems down the line. See all the off by one errors made by programmers. Damn DIJKSTRAAAAAA!).

Thanks!

They forced the article to be taken down, there are archive links, when im back home (and if I dont forget) ill scroll past my reskeets to find the link.

Yeah sucks as we should be very clear it is visa/mastercard and the terf group influencing them who is to blame.

(yes im using the sneerthread to write down bad jokes).

"An AI? But using that you could find a cure for cancer!"

"But I dont want to make a cure for cancer, i want to generate powerpoint presentations. Look it just made this quarterly_report_june_july_jan.wpd file for me."

Gonna be really fucked if we finally discover that the people doing the actual work were true believers who didnt even get paid well. And all the money went to altman/infrastructure costs. (I could look in financial statements to figure stuff like this out but erug effort).

The rules did not mention the ferryman couldn't use the stargate on each bank. The rules exclude teleporting, vut a stargate works via a different method.

failed my saving throw.

The irony is completely lost on them.

So not only has Yud failed to properly align AI, he also failed to align the AI aligners. Time to burn down the sequences and start over.

The AI is right with how much we know of his life he osnt really dead, the AGI can just simulate hom and resurrect him. Takes another hit from my joint made exclusively out of the sequences book pages

(Rip indeed, what a crazy ride, and he was all aboard).

Ikr

Followed one of the links which game me a very "is yud ok?" Feeling : https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/PCfaLLtuxes6Jk4S2/fighting-a-rearguard-action-against-the-truth

(Talking about the way it is written not the actual content, which seems to be 'looks like I was wrong, need to rethink some things and check my assumptions' but using thousands of words that make it sound like is having some weird mental episode).

E:

One is Zack Davis documenting endorsement of anti-epistemology ... [Links to articles removed] ... to placate trans ideology even many important transgender Rationality community members overtly reject

Euh ok. Always good when people bring up 'trans ideology'.

Im working on a device that allows you to do that over the internet. (Rip bash org, at least they didn't put you in the ai slop).
