Anecdotally, it took like one and a half week from the c-suite okaying using copilot to people beginning to consider googling beneath them and to start elevating to me the literal dumbest shit just because copilot was having a hard time with it.

ffs, the euphemisms keep piling on today.
Maybe non-judgemental chatbots are a feature only at a higher paid tiers.
it’s rather hilarious that the service is the one throwing the brakes on. I wonder if it’s done because of public pushback, or because some internal limiter applied in the cases where the synthesis drops below some certainty threshold. still funny tho
Haven't used cursor, but I don't see why an LLM wouldn't just randomly do that.
New ultimate grift dropped, Ilya Sutskever gets $2B in VC funding, promises his company won't release anything until ASI is achieved internally.
Today on highlighting random rat posts from ACX:
(Current first post on today's SSC open thread)
On slightly more relevant news the main post is scoot asking if anyone can put him in contact with someone from a major news publication so he can pitch an op-ed by a notable ex-OpenAI researcher that will be ghost-written by him (meaning siskind) on the subject of how they (the ex researcher) opened a forecast market that predicts ASI by the end of Trump's term, so be on the lookout for that when it materializes I guess.
Molly White on one of the more obvious problems with betting markets

I'm partial to Avenge me! as last words myself.
SV Scientology, they can't land you a leading role in a summer blockbuster but they sure as hell can put you in the running for AI policy related positions of influence or for the board of a company run by one of their more successful groomings. Their current most popular product is court philosophers for the worst kind of aspiring technofeudalist billionaire.
If this gets them interested you'll eventually get your chance to do a deep dive to any details of cosmist lore you find relevant.
I'm not a native english speaker, how else was he supposed to pronounce it?
Imo because the whole topic of superforecasters and prediction markets is both undercriticized and kaleidoskopically preposterous in a way that makes it feel like you shouldn't broach the topic unless you are prepared to commit to some diatribe length posting.
Which somebody should, it's a shame there is yet no one single place you can point to and say "here's why this thing is weird and grifty and pretend science while striclty promoted by the scientology of AI, and also there's crypto involved".

Personally, I'd have liked to see him touch on some of the more interesting heresies in our culture, like:

All the stuff about ASI is basically theology, or trying to do armchair psychology to Yog-Sothoth. If autonomous ASI ever happens it's kind of definitionally impossible to know what it'll do, it's beyond us.
