As someone who’s never even considered interacting with any part of this whole system, this is really funny honestly. It’s like a matryoshka of shady business practices.

what the fuck does it mean to be extremely leaning.

anyway, sorry to say, misanthropy is a reactionary value and also boring and sad.

well yeah

For anyone who rightfully can’t be arsed to click that link, the expert is “Robert Miles AI Safety”, who I assume is an expert (a youtuber) in the madeup field of “AI safety”.

Not to be confused with the late and great dream trance producer Robert Miles whom we all love dearly.

what if the AI sprouts wings and flies into the sky where we can’t reach it?

Piracy is allowed as long as no one enjoys it.

Hi Deborah what’s up wait so what the fuck, am I getting this right: this person found a new ficus, potentially, and is in contact with a ficus expert who’ll get back to them in a few weeks. The person can’t accept this insignificant delay because??? (is there a lot of pressing demand for advances in ficus taxonomy?) so they write this bizarre screed about … about huh … how the invisible hand of the market should drive ficus research? You know, like bees, or Batman? For some reason? Because having to wait a few weeks is the same as being left to drown?

Someone’s on a lot of adderall.

Absolutely, every single one of these tools has got less interesting as they refine it so it can only output the platonic ideal of kitsch.

I kinda want to keep my job and ideally get a good bonus.

fuck you

That ChatGPT can be more useful than a web search is really more indicative of how bad the web has got, and can only get worse as fake text invades it. It’s not actually better than a functional search engine and a functional web, but the companies making these things have no interest in the web being usable. Pretty depressing.

To be honest, as someone who’s very interested in computer generated text and poetry and the like, I find generic LLMs far less interesting than more traditional markov chains because they’re too good at reproducing clichés at the exclusion of anything surprising or whimsical. So I don’t think they’re very good for the unfactual either. Probably a homegrown neural network would have better results.

you know you’re on a fascist blog when you see so many AI illustrations

I got stuck on the same sentence. What the hell was that?

I’m going to assume he thinks “person” and “thing” are synonyms.

Yeah, it’s always a combination of factors and I have no doubt the stress didn’t help, but the idea that OpenAI would put a hit on some guy no one’s heard of over his opinions on copyright infringement is laughable. Let’s not do that.

my personal theory is he refused makeup because it’s an unnatural affectation that could have compromised his bioengineered skincare immortality routine

WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THAT

Humans can’t help but return to questions the presocratics already struggled with. Makes me happy.

One particular safety concern is that venture capitalists might covertly pursue misaligned goals, hiding their true capabilities and objectives – also known as scheming. We study whether venture capitalists have the capability to scheme in pursuit of a goal that we provide in-context and instruct the capitalist to strongly follow. We evaluate frontier financiers on a suite of six agentic evaluations where capitalists are instructed to pursue goals and are placed in environments that incentivize scheming.

Remilia are still going??? Why??

God I’d feel sorry for fascists if they weren’t trying to make our world as ugly, boring and miserable as they are.
