Yeah that is why people called it confabulating, and not bullshitting.

Yeah but there is a gulf of difference between, he communicated badly and he lied

“Lied during the pandemic” wait what? Did LW do a 180 on covid, or is this a “they gave advice without knowing everything that was later shown wrong?” Because that is quite a dumb thing to say, also calling that leftwing is nuts. And last, did they memoryhole that Scott lied about the pandemic? He said people should stop smoking because it helped with covid. Not because he had proof, just because he thought it would be good if less people smoked.

E: oops wrong person.

E2: 100 upvotes, the conspiracy weird far right people have taken over.

I saw those but I think it totally removes the pros, also my second complaint is that conmen would simply not join, and this will not expose them as frauds and they cant be made to join as forced betting on yourself is a crazy idea. (Also increases upfront costs for everyone more).

It is all very much wargames.

Lol love how the good analysis just misses that people without disposable income are now excluded, it puts a price on participating in the public discourse.

The bullshit artist prevention also doesnt work, as we have a bullshit artist as the richest person in the world despite use being able to show all the bullshit he was wrong about but he still gets all the money. Despite there being no fsd, mars colony, covid over by april. Why would he bet on his takes that even now with all his exposed lies people still treat him like a nerdboy genius?

The paper clipping is nigh! Repent Harlequins

That sometimes the crazy headline rewrite is actually the articles headline is half the fun.

This shit os going to drive so many amateur pedo/etc hunters (who already are not the people who are good at being normal) into absolute crazy conspiracy theory land. Esp when they cant get the fake pimps (yeah pimps really, these cops seem to be like the military dude in the intro of ideocracy) arrested or banned.

E: on that note, saw somebody explain that their previous slightly hysterical, ‘facebook is claiming searching for the concentration camps is a search for csam’ was made in error as it was the word ‘mega’ (and another word) which seemed to trigger the warning. And below that people were still making up some crazy palantir is going to get everyone jailed for clicking a csam link conspiracy bullshit. I worry for the sanity of a lot of online people. People are so afraid they are blueanoning themselves

Remember the apocalypse slop buckets the rightwing grifto sphere kept trying to sell?

Ok that is it, im changing my mind. All the rationalist genetics stuff is real and true as there is a fascism gene.

Do note how this legion of kid slaves shit shows how he both doesnt believe will go to mars nor that ai/robots can automate things.

You dont make new children to save civilization in 18+ years if you think in 2 years you will go to mars/build robots that automate everything/build the robotgod.

Yes you are right and it wasnt even that bad, the footnote was only half the length of a ‘who build this old roman wall?’ footnote.

Id say a lot of the better ones dont at least not regularly (in my exp), did hear from one of those that they had a problem with new hires, some lf them have very random output quality wise, until they get fired for using llms for everything.

Ah a food related charity that is important wonder what they did with the millions, ah release papers. That is …

With the collapse of the US empire and hegemony in progress wonder if they actually did something with this or if it is all another thought experiment.

E: wow that users posts history is something. Drops that article 3 years ago. Silence till some weird comment (directly addressing yud claiming they had some big breakthrough, about the mind state of the zizians of course. And it is all speculation and way too verbose).

“In hindsight, CFAR co-founder Anna Salamon told NBC, “we were creating conditions for a cult.””, if only there had been people warning about this, sadly such a club didn’t exist. Anyway, im sure this will lead to them reflecting and changing things.

Quick post: bad news here in Europe, Meta allowed to scrape facebook/instagram. bad source (just a screenshot isn’t great as a source)

Time to start a new business to distract people the previous one is not living up to expectations. Musk style. (A degree of vertical integration will also be involved)

E: ‘"The Grok integration with X has made everyone jealous,” says someone working at another big AI lab. “Especially how people create viral tweets by getting it to say something stupid.”’ These are deeply unserious people, billions of dollars just to build AI Dril, which was already a thing. Is there some weird nerd somewhere who said something like ‘culture is downstream from viral memes’ or something just as dumb? Related to that, so I have basically quit twitter, and only visit there to look up if a quoted thing was real etc, but damn the site has gotten bad. How does anybody use it when so many replies are either bot replies, ai replies or people using their checkmark to push their one word replies to the top? Esp bigger accounts/viral tweets just get swarmed with shit. It has a bit of the ‘comment section of abandoned blog’ feeling to it. And this is the validation the AI company craves?

Wtf

E: it might have been fixed, now only if they also fixed all the other things. Erugh hate how much they are offloading the ‘is this valuable’ thing on just how mad (and who) people are getting. Such an extreme social cost (but very ‘X but on the blockchain!’ techbro style offloading of the costs unto others)

Yeah, it is fucking scary. My sympathies and solidarity. Small thing, perhaps a good reminder for everybody to check their opsec (esp if you are an administrator of things, check which data you do not need, or should not fall into the current (or future) us/other fascist administrations hands. And remember while spying on Americans by the various orgs is illegal, trading for information on them with other countries is not. Don’t forget backups). It is horrible that it has come to this. One small point of light is that they are fools and can’t shut up or be subtle. At least that has a chance to motivate more people to do something, which if it gets to the worst (and it is getting close) more people will actually resist (sadly a lot of people will have to realize that the point becomes not to win, but to impose costs/friction, and any wins are a bonus, which is a horrible realization in itself). Really hope this doesn’t make things worse mentally btw.
