IIRC it's (spoilers sorry) "AI escaped the torment nexus and they decided not to kill everyone so that's great"

serious question, are you a bit slow?

but then how will I defend my famuhly from the 39,997 other criminals?

people have been screaming the answer at you, yet you ignore it. The American middle class was gutted by outsourcing labor and they're not happy about it. It couldn't get more simple.

was this supposed to be a reply to /u/dgerard's comment?

I don’t like AI hype either but I don’t feel the need to use Lobsters to rally groups of people to mass punish projects who add optional AI-friendly features. That is quite disturbing.

ok. I tried writing something sarcastic and sneery but alas, I don't think I can mock this person hard enough to satisfy my ethical obligation.

I love the guy who goes in and says "but you really should give this guy money! I know he has produced absolutely no research or work worthy of a second glance but he's my friend and I promise he SOUNDS suuuuper smart! btw I read the Sequences once. funding now??"

I wonder what Peter Thiel would think about using disability benefits. Does he fly Ayn Rand style, where it's okay to benefit from it while actively campaigning against it?

Back when I used reddit, r/badmathematics would feature weirdos that posted REAMS of shit just like that guy's whiteboard pictures. There, we called them cranks.

what happened, the guy got bored and left? I miss it too :(

lol @ this austin chen guy, who seems to be an investor in Lumina, as well as a user of the project going like "dude just get on the phone with him, I'm sure he totally won't corner you with threats and such, he's a great guy I swear bro!"

It's a well recognized rule that every time Lumina comes up, someone has to mention that Aella is connected to the project. Then, someone must make a joke about Lumina adding anti-toothbrushing to her anti-showering arsenal. HN hasn't caught up to the last bit yet.

The lumina saga continues. https://trevorklee.substack.com/p/luminas-legal-threats-and-my-about

TL;DR: Lumina guy sent Trevor a mean letter and Trevor has reworded some things to protect against libel. He still stands by the original blog post.

The orange site has some fairly milquetoast opinions.

It's hard to understand what Samuel Alternativeman hopes to accomplish by making such statements. Does he want everyone to give up on being creative and just defer to AI? Does he think that without a source of real creativity for training, his products have any value at all?

The part about him seeing racists be nicer than leftists (?) is beyond baffling. Yeah, white US southerners in 1850 were pretty dang nice and willing to help a random marginalized person out once in a while, what the fuck is the point?

Here's today's episode of "The Left is So Mean and The Right is so Nice, What Gives?" HN edition.

oh wow re-colonizing your mouth with a bacteria that continuously produces an antibiotic is a bad idea? Who could have seen this coming???

This is like trying to install airbags on a car that can barely break 5 km/h.

listened to this, they do a great job of breaking down the berniecrat -> orangeman pipeline, characterizing it as mainly driven by vibes and unserious thought.

Their brains are so saturated with information that they naturally need to explore extreme viewpoints to feel stimulated.

Imagine going to university only to learn that the president falls for grifters that 10 year olds can detect.
