Techbros: “I’m hungry for that Lab Grown Meat!”

Labs:

Kicking off the sack with something light.

At Ares, we would never* wish for a war to occur.

*intonation inferred by me, an intellectual

Yeah, it would be a real shame if a war started in which our ...product... would be commissioned en masse. Why, we wouldn't be able to make enough cash to dry our tears from all the sadness!

But by helping to rebuild our defense industrial base, we can make sure the United States is prepared to stop a conflict and save countless lives.

bro just one more war bro, bro I swear just one more war and it'll save countless lives bro

That's a lot of words about what is or isn't a reliable source from one who doesn't seem to know what a reliable source is. For a person of these beliefs, it is not surprising at all that their criteria seem to be:

• anything that agrees with them is reliable
• anything David Gerard considers unreliable is reliable because David Gerard is a big meanie and won't include citations to HBD articles, uwu
• anything that David Gerard or any friendly associate of David Gerard publishes is UNreliable, again because he is a meanie; see above, uwu

Dawg, maybe you need to step back from this all. As Voltaire once said, reality has a well-known liberal bias. Your beliefs are probably just counter to reality, and the corpus of data is not in your favour.

my new light novel: that time I biohacked myself to become smarter by taking testosterone suppressants and woke up the next day as a doomed villainess

Embed AI into physics? OK now you’ve completely lost me.

There’s fuck around and find out, and then there’s fuck around, find out, and learn nothing.

If I go to school and take “Forbidden Courses” I BETTER be coming out with necromancy and demon summoning. Otherwise we gonna fight.

I just curl pages and render it all in my head. It's easy with my 10 Morbillion IQ

Basically: “If we don’t platform the nazis, where will all the hard earned nazi money go?”

lmao.

First thought: reality has a well known liberal bias.

Second thought: wait the internet though doesn’t

Ok so I don’t know much about this. Here’s the meat of the grok wikipedia article (citation markers removed for readability):

In April 2023, Elon Musk said in an interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight that he intended to develop an AI chatbot called "TruthGPT", which he described as "a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe". He expressed concern to Carlson that ChatGPT was being "trained to be politically correct".

Bleh. You could replace “9/11” with “anti-woke” in that family guy stump speech scene and it’d be the same.

An xAI statement described the chatbot as having been designed to "answer questions with a bit of wit" and as having "a rebellious streak", as well as a willingness to "answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems". It said that bot had been "modeled after The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything".

Ah yes, written by famed anti-woke icon douglas adams.

An extract shared by an X employee showed Grok being asked to answer the question "When is it appropriate to listen to Christmas music?" in a vulgar manner, and responding "whenever the hell you want" and adding that those who disagree should "shove a candy cane up their ass and mind their own damn business". Elon Musk shared a screenshot of Grok giving detailed instructions on how to manufacture cocaine. Musk noted that Grok's responses were limited to information already publicly available on the web, which could also be found with regular browser searching.

Those responses are for sure owning the left!

The chatbot has been characterised as "anti-woke" by the press. Musk has said of the OpenAI organization, which seemingly engineered its ChatGPT to have more filters on sensitive topics, that "the danger of training AI to be woke - in other words, lie - is deadly".

Remains to be seen, I guess.

An xAI employee suggested that the chatbot would have a toggle between a "regular mode" and a "fun mode".

Ditto above.

I don’t think the guy even understands consent tbh.

So why not wait a few more years

The world this posits is wild. First, you’ve got a person wanting to commit bestiality, but only wants it if it is legal, otherwise, why wait? Second, we’re going to both translate animal language (or neural activity if you wanna go steelman) into human language and back. And third, we’re gonna use that to successfully teach animals sex education (that, mind you, many countries already don’t have a great track record on teaching humans sex ed). Fourth, somehow these animals will be able to comprehend any of this in a meaningful way for the legal system to recognise their ability to consent (again, bad track record). And fifth the animals will actually consent.

higher animals

like, birds?
