This is great.

What I’ve heard from my endless hours of comedy podcasts is that at corporate gigs like this, sometimes some execs start getting the idea that, because comedy is being performed, that they get to make some jokes too. Once they get up on stage, the worst possible mask off shit just pours forth. I kind of want to know if that happened.

have they tried writing better prompts? my lived experience says that because it works for me, it should work as long as you write good prompts. prompts prompts prompts. I am very smart. /s

I hate hate hate this so much. This is precisely the kind of smug, reductionist, dunning-kruger, every-problem-is-a-nail-and-programming-is-my-hammer type of shit that fuels my hatred of not only TESCREAL but pretty much everyone I meet in STEM.

ATTN: If you're coming into this thread to say, "The output of AI is bad because your prompts suck," I'm just proud that you managed to figure out how to use the internet at all. Good job, you!

Second, is the more common "IQ isn't intelligence" trick. Sure, the measure doesn't encompass everything that is making intelligence, but it is still a somewhat interesting proxy as there is a high correlation between intelligence and IQ.

Any time you see something like this, what it’s really saying is:

IQ is intelligence to me and nothing you say can dissuade me. I just have a high enough IQ to write a disclaimer for plausible deniability.

See what’s really fun here is that once again the libertarians are blissfully unaware of their natural predator: bears.

You’re right. We should move onto feeding it orphans

Sovereign citizen energy.

Can’t wait for an AI crank to demand cancer treatment because Siri looked sideways at a blurry photo of a lump on their butt. Can’t wait for a Scott to write a script/dialogue tree for getting DIY chemo kits.

She’s 35 and her sum total understanding of culture and race has lead to this. I think she has been effectively a Nazi from way back.

Just a lil tidbit of news of some web3 based company going away.

Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic.

Gonna ignore the urge to sneer at the tinfoil hattery here. See the rest of this comment section for that.

I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience

Sam, you have a doomsday bunker and a bunch of cash. This was one of your dream scenarios. Don't pretend like you're one of us.

Not sure how much needs to be said here. Sometimes I come back to a tab with a.s open and refresh, then get logged out. I’m using chrome on iOS but this might be reproducible on other browser/platform combinations.

Don't expect a good or deep analysis of FTX or any TREACLESy stuff here.
