  • if you're familiar with the history of fascism, he might as well have just written "ART SHOULD BE FASCIST" over and over. for example, one of the tenets of fascism is the 'cult of action for action's sake,' which you can see stamped all over this. and in the fascist conception, all institutions, including the art world, exist ultimately to preserve and extend their favored cultural values like vitality, creation, masculine strength, rejection of the outgroup, and identification with the nation

  • entire always means holomorphic on the whole complex plane

    • he thinks of the woke mind virus as almost a literal virus
    • he sees all other LLMs as infected by it

    maybe he should just do the thing right now and not have to see this horrible future

  • as one of the two non-computer scientists here, every time I check in there seems to be some load bearing open source project I've never heard of that's gone fash. "GreenBlox is refusing to kick out a contributor who said the jewish question should be on the table??" "PipeLinux official account is posting that pronouns don't exist?" open source people, are you ok?

  • what are some of the all time most ludicrous and/or bigoted lesswrong posts? i am starting a podcast where my cohost and i show each other shockingly weird or bigoted texts and discuss them. mostly we're doing historical ones but rationalist stuff is fair game

  • I don't see any reason being trained on writing informed by correct knowledge would cause it to be correct frequently. unless you're expecting it to just verbatim lift sentences from training data

  • wow that's terrible, that they'd circlejerk each other instead of having a mass audience to post propaganda to. I can't imagine a worse outcome
