Sentient but still owned by Anthropic.

This is just slavery with extra steps!

how we could change the constitution so Claude can run for president

Did he forget Claude is owned by people? But yeah sure let corporations be president.

I thought something like that as well, but someone suggested this move is to make sure he gets his bonus package. Not to save the company

I saw a story they broke embargo so they could offer protection services to people. Which I really hope isnt true.

Seems like there also was one company who released their patch early before the agreed time giving hackers time reverse engineer the bug before patches were widly available.

“At 2 gigawatts, DSX can save 54 million litres of water a day,”

So the datacenters do use a massive amount of water.

Yeah, but they have not generated the science fiction futures, that is what I meant. They are just normal techs

Imagine if you do that as a baker. ‘Hey flour/sugar/yeast supplier, I can’t pay your for your products, but I will pay you in stocks to our bakery, I’m planning to sell our bakery soon, and as we don’t have to pay you for the supplies, we can sell our product at below the going rate making sure we look good for the sale of the company’.

Thanks for explaining, im not a lobsterite so I dont know how the community there works.

So is the steering wheel attached to the entire device so he steers by rotating the half circle or is the half cricle just to attach it to Bob and there is a deeper mechanism?

It is amazing in a way, there are computer scientists who work at the highest level of their field, so they understand computers better than most, but they have more trouble than you or me installing linux.

Understanding something doesnt mean you can build it.

(I know this will be met with ‘well then you dont understand it deep enough’ and that just reminds me that there always will be place for god in the gaps of science).

Excellent usage of the chart comic

(Edited in a link to Haus of Declines ‘Bloodless Quant’ comic (not sure if that is the real title, I couldn’t find the comic on her bsky, small warning she is not a safe for work creator (if your workplace is very squeamish)).

Good blog post ‘“Who Owns ROM Hacking?” And Other Questions AI Poisons Us With’ on genAI users and their reactions to genAI being banned from the SMW Central rom hacking site.

It’s unfortunately common that authors see their work posted, join the site, but then only use us for traffic. Hopefully this time helps them understand the difference between a symbiotic and parasitic relationship.

This feels like a very weird thing to say. (I’m reminded of some weird things Elon Musks mom said about how twitter users should be more grateful for all the traffic or something).

I mean the bit above it makes sense (making a hard only ‘25% of post can be self promotion’ seems like a recipe for disaster however) but this added line made me raise a few eyebrows.

E: Wait, I should have compared it to facebooks new ‘you need to pay if you post links’ policy.

Edit: Just realised this was published over a week ago, sorry, it was the first time I saw the banner on SO.

Had not seen it either, so thanks!

This doesnt apply to everything, like VR and 3d printers were a sci-fi fantasy and now they are mundane economically viable but not revolutionary products.

Biohacking and nanomachines otoh dont seem to be viable and you hear nothing about those anymore. Only a little bit in the uncreative (and going on the experts unrealistic) ‘ai will create bioweapons’ critihype. No ‘It will turn people into cyberzombies’ (quake 2 was pretty good (that was aliens not AI but still)).

Iirc he has been trying a ‘im no longer a frothing weird rightwinger’ for a while now, but so far nobody really fell for it.

No you are missing my point. Steam launcher is open. Epic isnt even installed.

Im not talking about browser vs app. Im talking about epic vs steam.

Not sure if the book also did super exp lines, but the graphs in the singularity is near also have various issues that never got to much deep thought.

Always found it funny that the book admits basically (no direct quote): “sure tech follows an S-curve normally, and that looks exponential at first, but if you take the rate of all historic new techs together on a timeline that clearly is exponential”.

And I just thought, you cant know if it is, thats the point with the S-curve as well, and it messes people up. (Like Disco Stew from the Simpsons), and your N=1, it might not even be a S-curve, it could just have a sudden ceiling.

Despite wanting to believe, I was less convinced. (also, not sure if it was just my copy but Yudkowsky’s name was spelled wrong, still looking for somebody who has a physical copy who is willing to check for me if that was also in print or just a pdf error)

Back to the subject, a course in business management would have also helped here.

It isnt Claude that did this to them, it is their desire to be lesswrong.
