I just stumbled on this post on my “all” feed.

You are the problem here.

I think there might also be a bit of d) OpenAI has weird nerds defending the honour of their AIfu.

Imagine whistleblowing about unethical behaviour and than have thousands of nerds need to argue about how that what you did technically isnt whistleblowing.

Puts down Snow Crash.

Ah look the torment nexus.

The comments are quite a selection of typical things. 'harassing innocent IQ researchers' 'the sneerclubbers are all losers who hate crypto' etc etc. Hitting the familiar beats.

Look, I know what this subject is about, but hear me out here, what if we replace the AI doomer data scientists with A.... WHO AREYOU? WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOU... ARGH

No shut downs of large AI training

At least the lack of Rationalist suicide bombers running at data centers and shouting 'Dust specks!' is encouraging.

We get it, we just don't agree with the assumptions made. Also love that he is now broadening the paperclips thing into more things, missing the point of the paperclips thing abstracting from the specific wording of the utility function (because like with disaster prepare people preparing for zombie invasions, the actual incident doesn't matter that much for the important things you want to test). It is quite dumb, did somebody troll him by saying 'we will just make the LLM not make paperclips bro?' and he got broken so much by this that he is replying up his own ass with this talk about alien minds.

e: depressing seeing people congratulate him for a good take. Also "could you please start a podcast". (A schrodinger's sneer)

There is the NotAwfulTech awful.systems community for these kinds of posts, even if it is nice.

Time to build the inception dream technology, and give him the dreamidea that it is a lot easier to make artificial sperm than artificial wombs.

As Tolkien predicted: 'the age of men is over'

Whoa (I don't think they ever reused this plot point in the movies did they? Also yeah I also posted this on bsky)

An undertone in Dutch weird right wing twitter is a desire to move to Russia/(sometimes Viktor Orbáns Hungary) because at least there they still have freedoms and rights. And they accuse the left of living in a filter bubble.

you’ve got to engineer it to be viral.

All this attention including the whole Andreessen thing and he doesn't go above 50k followers. As far as virality goes that is pretty bad.

Also from his twitter: "We literally became a sufficient threat to the system that they felt compelled to attempt to neutralize me.

The thing is, I am a man of belief. You can take everything from me. I don't care. I am going to keep going until I'm dead.

You cannot stop acceleration."

Sure buddy the system did that. Keep riding the wave, in five years we will all gather on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west.

Wtf are you talking about, we already talked about his sister story a while back (with your 'such things'). Just because you are not aware of things doesn't mean they suddenly pop up.

Here, a post from a month ago with data going further back. (also I do hope you get why as people become more powerful and popular in various ways they also attract more scrutiny, and how that isn't bad. You shouldn't care much that namename8numbers believes in the great replacement theory, but you should worry a lot when one of the richest people in the world starts shouting about that bs)
