That is a silly comparison, in the thing nor aliens nobody joins them willingly.

(And with the creeping corruption, environmental disasters, everything being made worse by sociopaths, but the lack of roaming monsters, the rifters book series would be a better fit).

Ah yes SE Gyges, the most reasonable pro ai guy.

Assumed that latter part was common knowledge.

Both are also quite popular in my exp among the wider vaguely leftwing programmer crowd. Which is also good that we keep being critical of both as well here.

Comparing trans rights to chatbot rights is, and let me use British understatement, not it.

A lot of people disagree with me, and that’s okay. I am happy that the philosophical discussion is being had, even if it’s become unhinged.

There is a cartoon for behavior like this.

I don’t think Roko’s basilisk cares what you think

Remember when tracingwoodgrains went after Gerard and said that nobody believes in roko’s B? And how it was unfair to mock them for it?

The finances must be really really bad.

Also didn’t they define AGI as ‘it should be able to make x00 billion dollars’?

Via tabte.cc, FF supports AI training on copyrighted materials.

Time for ‘if you planned this trip using a chatbot, turn back now’ signs at hiking trails.

I also only get the gist of it, so this will be a ‘im getting a lot of weird questions already answered by my incomprehensible shirt’ situation.

Lol sure buddy

TL;DR it’s much harder than they thought it would be

Every time. The only succes they had in the wider space seems to be the EA nets. (And even those had some hiccups when people used the toxic nets to fish).

Re brain surgery.

Finally we are reaching The Expanse level of plans from LW, where they did brain surgery on people to remove their empathy.

Dont worry about the heat. Normal computers provide normal computing. Quantum computers quantum computing, ergo quantum computers provide quantum heat. Totally different.

I hope this convinces you all to invest in my magic data center.

Without having read that specific article

From what I heard Cofnas research is quite bad (it has cases of him seemingly not having read the sources he cites as those say the opposite of what he claims they do, and that is above the normal badness of race science shit. Some of his tweets (I think it was tweets, could also have been facebook posts or something) certainly read as ‘intended for internal racist fights’ and not intended for academics). And the guy who appointed him is also being looked at with suspicion. So hope they also take a good look at the guy who hired him (without using the normal process for it apparently).

I’m gonna make AIGadot say ‘Free Palestine’.

(For some context, Gadot is more a supporter of the Israeli military than stopping what is going on in the various Palestinian territories. But she is not the worst)

Part of the accusations were also that he faked running a lot of marathons in a short period. Which he actually did. I even heard that some news outlets who accused him of faking it actually had reported themselves on him running the marathons.

It is a kiwifarms style witch hunt but started by a racist academic, and perpetuated with help from the media.

Well, yeah don’t think that is strange, if you eliminate stuff like aging and sickness, a random thing like a traffic accident (interesting he picked bus, and not a general traffic accident, or the more common car as a way to die, but the mega rich do hate public transport) will take you out.

There prob is already a science fiction story where a society of near immortals become mega risk averse because they fear falling down a stair and breaking their neck.

If it is created by Rationalists part of the oddness could be explained (apart from them just being Rationalists), that they want to be superpredictors, their magic math skills and prediction experience give them better prediction powers. Which will also lead to them subconsciously grading things better than they are because they are invested in it.

The polymorphic malware is hard to make a signature from, that must mean it is self aware!
