  • It's an alarmingly common occurrence in real life, so I don't think it should be surprising that it's also something people fantasize about.

  • Getting Gebru in there would be fucking hilarious, I can't believe Wired asked her. Not loving that they're conflating her with EAs though.

    If you want to annoy an AI doomer ask why they don't support Gebru.

  • GitHub doesn't need to take away the GPL, it's got Copilot to launder any code you like.

    It is very weird to see a generation of people too young to remember Vista grow up and not heed the warnings. But I think that it's also a case of kids getting into it via Paul Graham and wanting to start companies instead of getting into it via Stallman and having computers instead of friends.

  • Wrote this right on the SSC reddit:

    Couldn't a very similar argument be made in favor of the Catholic Church though? After all they've founded thousands of hospitals and such. They're very big on charitable giving. Are people unfair by judging the Catholic Church mostly on its religious doctrine and political activism instead of its charitable works?
