It makes a twisted sort of sense that so many of them go into life coaching. In their hermetically sealed subculture of highly paid, socially inept nerds, it probably pays the bills to set yourself up as an authority on reading social cues.

From the billionaire's perspective, confiscatory taxation should be preferable to guillotines.

A predatory slop publisher has turned to algorithmic moderation by clankers? A shocking turn of events, to be sure. They're probably just trying to wring the last few pennies out of their operation before they meet their inevitable oblivion.

IANAL, but my understanding is that companies are allowed to keep confidential the fact that they even filed the S-1. That's how I read OpenAI's statement. But it's not completely clear what "it" means in "we expect it to leak".

AI slop will absolutely kill any forum in which it proliferates. So I'm totally fine with it proliferating on LW.

That's bizarre. Why?

One of the most egregious examples of p-hacking I've ever seen.

Everyone knew it was going to be a total shitshow once the free money ran out. Copilot is just the first shoe dropping. Getting out the popcorn.

After concluding the same thing, I scrolled through the whole thing out of a sick sense of curiosity just to see how long it ended up being. IIt must have taken me 30 seconds just to use my touchpad to scroll to the bottom (including the pages of footnotes). These people are beyond parody.

The rsync slop-code scandal (mentioned here earlier) has now blown up in rsync's github issues tab. And of course on the orange site.

Why doesn't she just ring up Peter Thiel. She seems like just the type of person he'd love to donate some Thiel bucks to.

EDIT: I just went to her linked GitHub sponsors page. I was surprised to find Simon Willison there, but maybe I shouldn't have been. It certainly gave me another reason to look sideways at him.

If you want to witness a bunch of emotionally stunted clanker fondlers totally missing the point, check out the comments on this orange site thread.

They've been using the excuse that not everyone who participated in the "AI 2027" project agreed on 2027 as the year it all happens. But if that's the case, why the hell did they call it "AI 2027"?

Gotta love the ex post facto of it all.

The person being quoted is "AnechoicMedia". More here.

And not a single question about the Claude Code source leak, which revealed how it's completely slapped together with string and bubble gum.

Her account is just another reminder that -- apart from race science -- nothing goes better together with rationalism than social cluelessness.

Clown v. Clown. This is about the level of discourse Yud deserves.
