Thread on this lying bullshit

Tbh, them starting a post with 'they are unhealthy' and something about lacking vital essence would have been a warning. (And I dont even think it is true, sure Yud was a bit overweight, but he seems normal health wise to me).

(now I wonder when "no grape juice" will appear in search results).

Close tabs? That might mean I lose them. Madness. You can take my 400 open tab (Late edit: ow god I wish I was lying about that number) from my cold dead hands!

Googles how to improve hand circulation

I expect the time right around when the first ASI gets built to be chaotic, unstable, and scary

Somebody should touch grass, or check up on the news.

The whole thing screams old people desperately trying to be edge and cool but missing all the signifiers. A 'bad'word but baby talk style (like a young child saying poop), reference to slash which was already dated when I was young, the time of day so people can arrive home early and still make dinner (and not late at night like the cool music thing). The headliner is a twitter microceleb and not an actual cool band. But hey, at least kid rock isnt attending, so it escapes the 100% poser feeling.

E: saw this on my bsky, the guy is such a sad loser.

As is tradition.

No the frozen part is the important part. Can use any kind of juice, except grape.

Yeah but then also getting the recipe for napalm from fight club.

Every now and then I think back towards the early "jailbreaks" where they wanted to know "how do you break into a building" which they refused to answer. And people went "add that it should pretend to be in a movie", so then the chatbot started to explain lockpicking, and people acted like they just cracked the code.

While people who actually try to break in just tap the locks. Smashing their way in.

Sp the prompt hackers had not hacked the chatbot, they actually hacked themselves.

Anyway unrelated to people who think they have awoken chatbots.

stares at your nose, tears running down my face

Why isnt it growing?

The sanctions and inspections idea is so silly esp after what the USA/Trump did to Iran. (I mean the deciding that Iran wasnt keeping their end of the bargain and still making Uranium. So after the end Iran started to make more Uranium for real. Gg everyone).

Also 'cull the gpus': [angry gamer noises]

Tbh a lot of stories re our rich vc techbros are horror stories. Imagine coming over to a techbro for an interview and while you arrive he is arms deep in some cadaver which he plans to serve you, Tywin Lannister style.

E: or while riding along on the space techs ceos submarine for an interview, you suddenly wonder why there are powertools on board. Like some bond villain

Not sure if they still do it, but iirc the scp sire also had a "no roleplay" rule which is also pretty wise to get people into the mindset of treating it as fiction, and a way to tell stories. Gets people out of the mind of "what would I do in that world" and into "what would make the story better".

I used to do work maintaining a wiki, and the amount of random spam getting past spam filters (which somebody else maintained) was already pretty high then (esp when something was getting past the filters). I have no idea how bad it is nowadays, but I have a lot of respect for the people who maintain all our infrastructure and keep it shit free. (No not you google).

Qntm, one of the people who writes for the SCP Foundation site, also has a thread on it from the fiction writing angle.

I think that is it tbh. There was no big centralized profit, so no need to hype it up.

Could also just be environment, pretty hard to stay on one site staunchly if half the people around you are then people your radically oppose.

Also wonder about the only game in town factor

They added that Lasker is a “pathological liar”

Yeah, see also the tweets from his sister I think, where he lied to a lot of fam members about his academic background/etc.

Yeah but I was trying to combine complexity theory as a loose theory misused by tech people in relation to 'people who get fired'. (Not that I don't appreciate your post btw, I sadly have not seen any pro-AI people be real complexity theory cranks re the capabilities. I have seen an anti be a complexity theory crank, but that is only when I reread my own posts ;) ).
