  • E/Acc where Might makes Right, is the not at all repulsive and most ontologically sound source for ethics! Not at all burting at the seems with perverted eugenics, it's not morally dubious if none of your enemies survive to criticise you!

  • What's the reward function for simulating me, I live a pretty dull life, what possible ROI this goes against all laws of economics 101! (The only true way to carve reality at the joints.)

  • LLM’s aren’t nearly random enough to ever produce the entire works of Shakespeare, no matter how much infinite time you give them (though I’m sure they are capable of abominable stitchings of regurgitated quotes/snippets).

    It’s always baffling when people (who’ve given it adequate thought) take library of babel type of things seriously, while ignoring the overwhelming amount of nonsense, that would be hard to separate unless all you looking for is an exact echo of your query.

  • I was really puzzled by it until I realized it’s supposed to be the “stop” button. ▶️⏸️⏹️

    Now I am cringing at someone who would deliberately choose being so obtuse and cryptic.

  • Yud "It's just a joke bro": The lack of punctuation makes it an obvious joke! Let me spend the rest of this thread defending the divine truth of this joke to the bitter end.

    The saddest thing is that transparency is sort of good advice, but his twisted soul sees others as tools rather than people, I guess in his case transparency lets people know to stay clear.

  • I'd go further and combine it with the similarly good "Potemkin AI" to make "Potemkin Botshit"

  • No empire was ever born before 600 BCE (no no, the egyptians don't count), and no clear works of fiction, intended mostly to be dessiminated thorugh text ever existed before the 11th Century (You can dismiss anything prior as mere works of philosophy, poetry or mythology)

  • Only solved by receving heavy hints from other's solution, and it still took me forever. By far the hardest this year.

  • Replying in OP: Yeah, Lemmy punishes old threads/posts a bit too much for my taste ^^.

  • Day 18: Lavaduct Lagoon

    Day 19: Aplenty

  • Day 17: Clumsy Crucible

    Intimidating at first, so I went shopping for christmas presents first, which engaged my brain juices.

  • Vigorous mask-dropping very early on in the post:

    The term "eugenics" has absorbed so much baggage over the last century that it somehow refers both to swiping right on Tinder when you see an attractive person and to the holocaust.

    Not all dating is done with reproduction in mind. What are members of the opposite, or indeed same gender: baby synthesis apparatus? Unless you go out of your way in selecting blue eyed, blond haired people, restricting the definition of beautiful to these people, and restricting the teleology of tinder to the begetting progeny, how is it even remotely eugenics?

    EDIT: Uncharacteristically for LW the post, was very short short, "very early" is actually about midway in a proposal of little substance, also choosing attractive partners doesn't guarantee ensure children anyway (unless using very specific definitions of beauty).

  • How about not fiddling with indices?


    Similarly tired with index fiddling, I was pretty happy with my approach, which led to satisfying transpose cancelling in part 2. Not the fastest code out there, but it works. Day 14 was actually my favorite one so far ^^.
