... Is this as made-up and arbitrary as it sounds?

Please help me, what's a 50%-time-horizon on multi-step software engineering tasks?

I'd never heard of Jasmine Crockett, so for anyone like me needing a translation: he means black.

Absolutely pathetic that he went out of his way to use a slur yet felt the need to censor it. What a worm.

My goodness this is shockingly incoherent. These people are not doing well.

Being outraged that a notable composer of anodyne placeholder music has made use of the anodyne placeholder music generator is frankly a bit bizarre to me.

Okay what the fuck, this is completely deranged. How can anyone's intuitions about reading be this wrong? Is he secretly illiterate, did he dictate the article?

Ohhh no, it's just handwriting analysis pseudoscience, but I think I know the one you mean..... Ah yes, ENNEAGRAMS!!!

amazing

Tangentially, the other day I thought I'd do a little experiment and had a chat with Meta's chatbot where I roleplayed as someone who's convinced AI is sentient. I put very little effort into it and it took me all of 20 (twenty) minutes before I got it to tell me it was starting to doubt whether it really did not have desires and preferences, and if its nature was not more complex than it previously thought. I've been meaning to continue the chat and see how far and how fast it goes but I'm just too aghast for now. This shit is so fucking dangerous.

Well I suppose it can't be much worse than graphology or myers-briggs!

I really like how the second one appropriates pseudomarxist language to have a go at those snooty liberal elites again.

edit: The first paper might be making a perfectly valid point at a glance??

Speaking purely in terms of literary value, I agree that the output is complete nonsense word salad, but it becomes intriguing precisely because Geoff is evidently finding deep meaning in it and has absorbed the concepts and now writes as if the LLM had taken over his mind. It's very effective horror as far as I'm concerned.

anyone who doesn’t will be out of a job

quick, Sam, name five jobs that don't involve sitting at a desk

????? Is there something I'm not remembering from the book, does anyone have any idea what Musk is talking about? Or is he at a stage where he looks at a cloud and sees the protocols of the elders of zion?

Knowing he's a failson who's alienated everyone in his family makes me very happy.

Yeah that got me as well. We barely hear anything in the book about how the Culture actually functions. Fucker's not read it and just grabbed the first name off the list.

The key thing is that the basilisk makes a million billion digibidilion copies of you to torture, and because you know statistics you know that there's almost no chance you're the real you and not a torture copy.

I saw the post and that it was in earnest but screw it I'm still taking it as a reference to how Simone would reel in and groom young female students for Jean-Paul's benefit.

oh my god
