It's like a one-and-a-half-page article that also comes in audio and video form, don't be lazy.

The long and short of it is motherjones discovered TPOs openly nazi alt.

How though, either he got cold feet in the middle of selling out to the tech-fash or he was honestly that incredibly oblivious (see also: agreeing to do tim pool's show), neither strikes me as especially mitigating.

edit: Tried to watch the video, I made it to the part where he all but claims he sold out ironically, apparently at the time he thought spreading the good news about Altman's hilariously dystopic crypto pet project was so off-brand that it would be perceived like performance art or something, baffling.

He also kept going on about how the money wasn't even that good as I guess further evidence that the whole thing was him going briefly insane, and not I don't know just him allowing sponsors to test the waters before committing more heavily.

As if the only options available to get him to shill for something would be either heap Faustian amounts of cash on him or cast a confusion spell and hope he likes getting underpaid.

Also, add obvious and overdetermined to the pile of siskindisms next to very non-provably not-correct.

Works the same on LessWrong.

The kokotajlo/scoot thing apparently made it to the new york times.

So this is what that was about:

Lesbionest, there is no better proxy for polygenic fitness than your total word count at lesswrong and acx.

Baldness just makes you more aerodynamic, and in our eugenics enabled charter city/network state/seastead you'll be getting assigned a state sponsored waifu anyway (terms and conditions may apply, like being not unprovably not related to persons of dubious genetic heritage).

Could also be don't worry about deepseek type messaging that addresses concerns without naming names, to tell us that a drastic reduction in infrastructure costs was foretold by the writing of St Moore and was thus always inevitable on the way to immanentizing the AGI, ἀλληλούϊα.

I could go over Wolfram's discussion of biological pattern formation, gravity, etc., etc., and give plenty of references to people who've had these ideas earlier. They have also had them better, in that they have been serious enough to work out their consequences, grasp their strengths and weaknesses, and refine or in some cases abandon them. That is, they have done science, where Wolfram has merely thought.

Huh, it looks like Wolfram also pioneered rationalism.

Scott Aaronson also turns up later for having written a paper that refutes a specific Wolfram claim on quantum mechanics, reminding us once again that very smart dumb people are actually a thing.

As a sidenote, if anyone else is finding the plain-text-disguised-as-an-html-document format of this article a tad grating, your browser probably has a reader mode that will make it way more presentable, it's F9 on firefox.

You mean swapped out with something that has feelings that can be hurt by mean language? Wouldn't that be something.

Are we putting endocrine systems in LLMs now?

Current flavor AI is certainly getting demystified a lot among enterprise people. Let's dip our toes into using an LLM to make our hoard of internal documents more accessible, it's supposed to actually be good at that, right? is slowly giving way to "What do you mean RAG is basically LLM flavored elasticsearch only more annoying and less documented? And why is all the tooling so bad?"

Wasn't he supposed to be a romantic asexual at some point?
