The gratuitous hate for washing machines in this is so funny. Dudes rock.

The French urologist by day eugenicist transhumanist crank by night Laurent Alexandre had an interesting perspective on the subject fifteen years ago. We should do eugenics and edit our brains to be better so as to counter the emergence of Artificial Intelligence. The robots will replace us if we don't do rigorous embryo selection.

Incidentally he also warns that a modern day Stalin in possession of neuromachines and gene editing technologies would create what he terms "neuro-gulags".

I don't remember seeing Lesswrongers play with these sorts of ideas, which is a little surprising. But they're reluctant to diminish the AI's omnipotence I imagine.

I've played Geneforge. This is going to go badly for everyone involved.

See also with the Elon stuff the (pretend-) concern over gov agencies knowing your SSN. Like, what?

Wow I can't believe I'm still learning new ways the United States do voter suppression. Imagine if they put all that creativity in something other than white supremacy!

Yeah, the controversy over federal ID cards is completely bafflying to me as well, and I imagine like many things in the US it's some sort of libertarian bugbear or something? But considering the President has now mandated that one's federal identity is fixed at birth by the angels, it turned out to be a blessing.

I saw that yesterday. I was tempted to post it here but instead I've been trying very hard not to think of this eldritch fractal of wrongness. It's too much, man.

That's weird. I've heard you were a spambot.

That's an interesting palette choice on your generated illustrations my guys

I know, that's what's beautiful about it! You used the "copyrighted" image!

From Re-evaluating GPT-4’s bar exam performance (linked in the article):

First, although GPT-4’s UBE score nears the 90th percentile when examining approximate conversions from February administrations of the Illinois Bar Exam, these estimates are heavily skewed towards repeat test-takers who failed the July administration and score significantly lower than the general test-taking population.

Ohhh, that is sneaky!
