  • tl,dr; Thiel now sees the Christofascists as a more durable grifting base than the EAs, and is looking to change lanes while the temporary coalitions of maximalist Trumpism offer him the opportunity.

    I repeat my suspicion that Thiel is not any more sober than Musk, he's just getting sloppier about keeping it out of the public eye.

  • they seem to have trained on nearly everything you've ever heard of. especially a lot of Perl

    This is profoundly hilarious to me for some reason. AppleScript, of all things, also seems suspiciously high on that graph. As does Pascal running neck and neck with Swift.

  • This is just haplessly comical. The AI-generated sinister hijab lady, the attempts at algorithm-compliant YouTube face, the fact that they're doing this instead of raising their kids (which may be beneficial for the kids in the long run...) Who do they imagine they're convincing?

    I've never heard of "Slaughterbots" either, but yesterday I did find out that "Thunderpants" is real and apparently much more well regarded than you might expect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderpants

    During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, Paul Giamatti referred to this film as one of the high points in his career.[4] In 2023, whilst promoting The Holdovers, Giamatti referred to Thunderpants as "brilliant" and "one of the most remarkable movies [he's] been in".[5]
