Has it been 2 months already? I was wondering when they would turn up in the news again.

E: I’m not serious, I came across this video on yt which fulfilled my ‘every 2 months’ thing already. It was actually a bit interesting, as it turns out both of them have a long mostly unscrubbed online history which they tracked down and analyzed, turns out she has a history of being a weird quirky person, and they both have an air of ‘want to become internet famous/create an internet scam’ sort of thing.

The comments on that vid are great as well (wait for it) check this one out:

It is rich for you to skewer anything Simone and Malcolm miss with their podcast when they post 5 days a week (you neglected to mention) and you can’t even maintain your schedule or throw up a post on bluesky when you are off schedule. Also, because you two are genetic dead ends you don’t know that a mother of 5 cannot be a night person, she was up with a baby when she emailed. Malcolm and Simone talk in different rooms because she always is looking after a baby, and babies can randomly make noise so Simone can mute and Malcolm can take over. Maybe you can meet a baby one day and learn how they work. But I will say this episode is better researched than the usual “read article titles and giggle” podcasts you put out.

This comment was left by none other than “Diana Fleischman” Yes, that one, the evolutionary psychologist, and partner of Primal “I’m no longer allowed near students” Poly (For those who remember sneerclub from reddit, he was a regular subject. For example).

Amazing how small this nazi nerd world is. And how bad they are at defending their own. Feel free to leave ‘ad hominem’ reactions to that. (I will not as my yt profile links back to my real life).

Don’t worry, the acausalrobotgod will save us from everything.

The good thing about the elon musk internet sats is that they are too low to easily cause Kessler’s, they burn up in the higher atmos.

The bad thing is that they are made of a lot of aluminum and at that altitude it makes climate change a lot worse.

So you do not have to worry about Kessler’s syndrome. As we are gonna burn.

It is always enjoyable to see Americans realize their free speech laws/absolutism is a bit odd actually.

This is an interesting development tbh. And makes sense.

Oracle as in a confirmation of facts protocol

Amazing that on first glance it looks like a smart contract ‘all done by code’ thing, but then the reveals comes and it is just a few rich people again.

Congrats to lesswrong, another one of their big ideas has reached the mainstream. (And it is eugenics).

Skeet from motherjones "Some of the same billionaires who bankrolled AI now admit the technology could one day kill us all.

And they’re funding a new plan to stop it—genetically engineered genius babies."

I don’t think op has thought that well about it, this felt more like a gotcha argument. 'you say it is all unethical but I found a small (for me) exception so all your arguments are invalid.

Saw much of people do a similar thing on bsky last weekend. A sort of thing going (from a different era) ‘ha you say you are totally against blockchains/nfts? Well you still use github and that is a blockchain, sl better stop using all software’.

Yall sneer, but I made a couple of thousand bucks this saturday standing on a dark street corner selling illegal Fable and Mythic linkups. Gave the first question free to any boomers that came asking, to get them hooked.

Twitter really broke their brains.

Ha, that is the same name the sun energy system has in the Peter Watts Blindsight series.

It eventually falls into the sun.

We are already a few years behind on the planned AI destroying the world

Boosters have, to varying degrees, tried to dilute the definition

They do this with everything, because the tech doesnt hold up to the dreams, a lot of things get diluted. Esp noticably when they compared llms to humans learning and instead of noting llm advancements they talked down how humans learned.

See also the fields reaction to the chinese room thought experiment.

Amazing stuff. LLM security is so cooked.

Lol what a weak argument. Not only does this limit your llm use to only bugfixing (which is what the op is limiting their use to right?), it also ignores how a few big recent outages were prob caused by llms. And it treats ethical concerns like some sort of numbers game. We have one ethical concern for and one against so it cancels out.

And it leads to ‘Mengeles experiments were not unethical because some of the torture he did actually provided valuable insights on the extremes a human body can go through’

You would expect the leader of the ‘make sure the prompt doesnt turn us into paperclips’ movement to better right.

Finally, a machine which makes it impossible to watch the movie batman and robin.

(Joke explainer: the batsuit had nipples).

They asked a chatbot and the chatbot is trained on shadowrun and cyberpunk2077 sourcebooks.

that’s just me being mean.

It prob is, stuff like this seems to be quite common at various nerdy events. Just harmless fun(*). So a bitch eating crackers moment perhaps. I know I have those myself.

*: initially made a typo there and wrote ‘hatless fun’.

We have already all died and been uploaded, but it happend so seamlessly nobody noticed.
