88 huh. Prob a coincidence but still

and have clearly been read a non-trivial amount by Elon Musk (and probably also some by JD Vance).

Look, i already wasn't donating, no need to make it worse.

But chatgpt said this was a place where people smart people talked about AI/LLMs/AGI.

(Which reminds me that on reddit, being active on r/buttcoin also got you targeted by DMs trying to get you to buy into cryptocurrencies, and the sub itself often had pro crypto posts by bots not knowing where they were posting).

I took the question to be a vit more broad than just be about patents, like sure that might not be a problem re a lawsuit you can lose, vut just fighting the lawsuits will be bad for people, and will the 4 vinegars offer any help for people who do this and get in trouble. This feels a bit centralize the fame and decentralize all the risk. Which will usually not end great for the people who have less privileges than the phd educated cis guy. I hope they thought more about this than just flipping people off (or worse, "if somebody gets in legal trouble we can use that to promote our cause"). But i tend to be a bit more paranoid than most.

Thanks. The ending where he goes "how would I deal with company patent lawyers? Well flips them off" is a bit annoying as well. I heard some make diy E makers and distributers were jailed already. So setting up some assistance system for that would be nice (esp after you made it worse by making it easier for the courts to call them terrorists, sure the term has degraded but law wise this has consequences. I really hope he at least got some trans people involved before he started this (and i also really hope im wrong about the risks here, as trans people should get all the meds they want)).

I look forward to your reactions why this is all quite a bad idea (and not just a bit cringe).

NRx people was what I was thinking about. Every city a city state with bespoke medical experimentation going on. And if you don't like it, just leave and go to a different city state with different crazy medical experiments.

There also is a lot of homeopathic meds in the Netherlands, dont know about the legal status, do know it didnt help much with my hayfever as a kid.

Ah right, thanks! Weren't there also a lot of German victims?

It also prevented the Thalidomide medication from causing much damage in the usa (compared to the rest of the world) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide_scandal and prob countless more, as it is a bit hard to cause problems if the problems are caught before it being brought to market. And I do worry that the "the fda is too cautious" pushers are actually motte baileying for the total removal of the fda.

Generics greetings and happy <template T>s

It is a bit weird, it has very high EA vibes to me, started and did some good (epipen in 2017 vs EAs malaria nets), but end up to have some crazy plan for which the other things are more of a smokescreen for their real plans (an easy bake chemical oven make chems at home kit vs EAs stopping our lord and saviour the robotgod) using rethoric aimed at a specific subgroup (2000-2010 anarchist libertarian hackers vs nerdy altruists)

E: I really wonder if they were influenced by the dr sleepless series from the disgraced warren ellis, and the stuff around that.

From what I heard: Skimming over science, best practices, risks of contamination, risk of producing horror chemicals, problems of sourcing materials, storing materials, storing the final product etc etc.

Here is a bsky thread from the last time they were in the publics eye (more here if you dont have an account) (the latter articles are clearly working on a diff definition of capitalism than I use so I chose not to be too annoyed with the weird digs about that).

This should be a very big red flag: "Mixæl Swan Laufer worked in mathematics and high energy physics until he decided to use his background in science to tackle problems of global health and human rights." (Ignoring all the other smaller red flags btw, I think I could point one out ever paragraph, if I had not heard about these people before, the final red pill reference would have made me think they were trolling).

Rag feels to me like the other new llm tricks (like voice commands), the base model cant be improved much so they tack on modules which make it look like the base tech is still improving. While in reality it is just the tacking on of older tech.

When I was young I knew people who installed those 'get money for moving your mouse' things (this was a thing around 2000, prob combined with a 'get paid to use your computer' scam. I'm not sure if anybody even remembers this), and they never got a dime. So I always mentally ignore these things as scams. 'it is just free money' is quite the red flag.

Minor gripe with the video 'if they product is free you are likely the product' isn't true imho. You are always also the product, unless they explicitly go out of their way to make it clear you are not the product (and even then you cannot be totally sure). You can't pay your way out of the rot economy. In fact, as you are now a person who spends money, I'd think the value of your data actually goes up. A database filled with data of users who never spend a dime online seems like it would be almost useless to me.

If you start to count at 0 it is also correct. Thanks Dijkstra. The paper that cased uncountable damages and wasted hours.

Lol lmao (For the people not into Dutch, our main alt-right politician lost a lot of money investing in the luna cryptocurrency (of course he is into crypto, and of course this site (which is a pro crypto site, so they pivot to his bitcoin holdings (which is no shock we know cryptofash people pay the fash in crypto)) is using the 'register now and get the first 10 bucks free!' trick casinos also pull).

So many people got the wrong message from mythbusters. The catchphrase was a joke people
