just repeating my reaction on bluesky here but "my AI partner died because of the updates" is a common complaint with ppl "dating" AI. altman absolutely knows who he's targeting when he talks about restoring personality in erotic settings, and it's people who are really not doing great

hi peeps! the first episode of the podcast i posted about last week is up now. it's called odium symposium and it's about historical misogynist or otherwise bigoted texts. i don't know how long until i get to one of our favorites but its inevitable

excellent sneer

when the drugs aren't hitting quite right he must really be a huge doomer about the far right cause

• he thinks of the woke mind virus as almost a literal virus
• he sees all other LLMs as infected by it
• he thinks LLMs will be the font of all knowledge in the future

maybe he should just do the thing right now and not have to see this horrible future

I will! @odiumsymposium on bsky in the meantime

this post is so mentally damaging that seeing it here two years ago is one of my most vivid sneer memories

as one of the two non-computer scientists here, every time I check in there seems to be some load bearing open source project I've never heard of that's gone fash. "GreenBlox is refusing to kick out a contributor who said the jewish question should be on the table??" "PipeLinux official account is posting that pronouns don't exist?" open source people, are you ok?

what are some of the all time most ludicrous and/or bigoted lesswrong posts? i am starting a podcast where my cohost and i show each other shockingly weird or bigoted texts and discuss them. mostly we're doing historical ones but rationalist stuff is fair game

I think pumpkinware is catchy but that a more saleable story for the term is cinderella's stagecoach turning out to be a pumpkin

we have an obligation not to inflict him on anyone else

whenever there's a huge scandal he listens to his PR people, keeps his mouth shut, then goes on a media tour where he lies his ass off in exactly the same way at each stop. it's that simple and yet almost no other tech people can do it

incredible how he rushes to assure us that this was "a really hot 17 year old"

funny thing is she literally talks to ani like a terf talks to a trans woman including saying 'at least I'm a real woman'

TERF obsessed with AI finds out the "degenerate" ani skin for grok has an X account, loses her shit

then follows up with this wall of text

what is "linear definitional bias"

pushy rationalist tried to glom onto and fly to meet my niche internet microcelebrity friend & i talked her through setting boundaries instead of installing this person in her life. my good deed for the week
