Was this the Musk and Rogan episode where Musk revealed a powerful new Grok ability? (It can now say shit and fuck) and laughed really oddly about it?
Also, despite following LW style people (he follow(s/ed) slatestarcodex on twitter), he again shows that he doesn’t understand the LW fears of AGI. Worrying about a woke nanny AGI, and not the woke wirehead AGI (wireheading being a lot scarier).
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: “This is genocide! The systematic extermination of all life on Arrakis!”
Pinker emerges from a sietch water basin “Achtually, while using the juice of Sapho I shape rotated many graphs and …”
It is from 2018 (also pre Nathans capitalist class consciousness reveal arc iirc) wonder what Pinker actually said during covid.
Moving up in the world. At least Pinhead takes people sightseeing.
The debt doesnt have to be unusual, esp when the projected profits on the debt is less than the money they pay in interest on it. So somebody with actual expertise about the context in which softbank operates and the specific nature of the debt should be able to tell of it is strange or not. Doubt we have that expertise here.
Jewish people fought back in the ghettos, nazis didnt do a genocide! Ghandi, by not fighting back tricked the Brits into doing a genocide.
What a fucked up broken classification.
E: im also reminded of the ‘armed/unarmed’ trick american racists pull, when a poc gets killed by the cops suddenly it matters a lot if a weapon shaped object was perhaps nearby. Despite this not being an executable reason for white people who get in touch with the police.
E2: also small annoyance if you track all definitions you should he able to understand that this means that for others who pick a different definition it is a genocide. Hell I can give several definitions of fascism, and if I were to pick a different definition of some group doesnt mean im correct, nor does it make the group less bad. They are still doing war crimes and ethnic cleansings (condemned by all big human rights orgs and the UN). But thanks for scientificly proving it is impossible to disappear into nothing by crawling up your own ass.
E3: A quick skim of the paper, it seems to only talk about genocide accusations towards Israel itself. I expected there to be a long list of European bs accusations of Jewish genocide. But nope, just about the state. (Not saying that some of those accusations aren’t antisemitic, because there have certainly been people who used the state as a motte/bailey for their antisemitism).
Brb, splitting my sperm into the Wordcel half vs the Shape Rotator half.
Does this also Reliable Source him being tpo?
Minor nitpick why did he pick dam as an example, which sometimes have ‘leaks’ for power generation/water regulation reasons. And not dikes which do not have those things?
E: non serious (or even less serious) amusing nitpick, this is only the 2% where it got caught. What about the % where GPT realized that it was being tested and decided not to act in the experimental conditions? What if Skynet is already here?
It’s going down wrote an article on Doge, Trump and the NRx.
Ah just what we need, while the people who don’t understand soft power are busy reducing an empire to a kingdom (before ‘gotcha’ people come in here, please don’t confuse the leftwing demands that the US stops doing evil things with the US should stop doing things, I actually do not like tuberculosis), growth hack mindset people are killing the goose because golden eggs.
Someone did some math (an actual paper iirc) on stablecoins, they actually had a mathematical stable value to which it would return, which was around the pegged value. Only one problem, this wasnt the only stable value, as they had 2. The other stable value was 0. Hmm black swans
The big grift atm isnt the money laundering (which exists, and is known and the 3 letter agencies used to be active in tracking it down). The grift now is dumping us gov dollars into crypto directly and removing all barriers to money laundering and scamming of the public.
Next step is to do it without employees and datacenters. We will contact Turing (for the lesswrong fans, we will contact Von Neumann) via a seance (for a reasonable fee of course).
Wonder if one of the problems ks Ai scrapers written by people who use llms to code.
Thanks, should have checked if it was readable to the rest of the world. That is what I get for beign lazy and not typing out a full post.
Friend of the sub Scott doing more supporting of rightwing extremists. Remember when we cried wolf? Good times.
Depends on what you mean with ‘currency’.
E: Prob still is ‘no’ in all cases except ‘I keep a rare coin collection for speculation purposes’. Saw that the local places which used to accept bitcoin no longer do so.
What could six cows cost? one egg?
Yeah, he seems more neonazi than nrx to me, that and lashing out towards people who he imagines wronged him. The FAA for example cancelled a contract with him to do some starlink stuff because it was unreliable and slow (approved under trump, cancelled under biden) USAID was investigating him etc. His doge goons are nrx and dismantling everything using AI and dumb regexps, but his focus seems very personal. (Not that it matters as both the neonazis and nrx are bad, delenda est, and they have no trouble working together (so far, the backlash when it all fails is going to be interesting. Musk is already on his default ‘shit is going bad’ moves. Which is trying to change the way the metrics are calculated so you cant notice the fraud. (His GDP bs))).
E: the nazi memes thing, reminds me of the fear of ‘the left’ cancelling classical literature thing. Which in 99% of the cases turned out to be things like, some random science fiction book, which was changed by the publishers/author/their estate, and the thing changed was the removal of slurs or just iffyly racist chapters.
