not really a “human supremacy” issue at hand here. If you don’t know about AI safety/alignment you should probably do some lurking

Now we just need the tech bros to make sure the beep boops have human loyalty as top priority. But sigh we know where thats going…

round these parts us folk don’t take kindly to alignment talk

Lol, honestly, that’s on you for having incorrectly adjusted priors. Whenever I catch wind of a prompting snafu, I immediately assume I’ll hear the rejoinder of “You must be prompting it wrong”.

+1, also it’s just unrealistic when people say we should stop using orbital data centres. They’re here and we should get used to them, because nothing we do can influence their development. Also, we need to be involved in the space data center industry or we won’t be able to influence their development later.*

There is no Factor Sr., please do not imply different lore from Factor’s canon!!!

Factor has three mothers who are in a very happy marriage. For a more detailed lineage, see here.

probably the easiest angle to take here is to point out that it’s easy to be an uncritical consumer of games, and steam facilitates that (iTs BeTtEr ThAn PiRaTiNg)

How DARE you criticise my dear perfect little baby boy Steam, my lawyers will be contacting you shortly,

Factor is my OC please do not steal

Yeah SMRs rule. They are so easy to build. You just move the map over to where you want them to be built, press the Building button or hotkey (B) and then choose the SMR (hotkey: S). Then you move the mouse over to where you want to place the SMR; a silhouette will appear at the target location. You click to start the build. It’s 150 minerals, 50 gas, and takes 15 seconds to construct. Just a few keypresses and you have green, clean energy anywhere you want it :) Crazy that nuclear power is so easy to get but governments treat it like it’s so scary.

the implication here is that you think that all reasonable response generators are indistinguishable, e.g. you think your sister is a clanker.

The satan thing makes a certain kind of sense. Probably catering to a bunch of different flavours of repressed: grindr republicans, covenant eyes users, speaking-in-tongues enthusiasts, etc.

an artifact with no art in it?

an ifact

Part of me wants an Ito-created body-horror metaphor for LLMs. The rest of me knows that LLMs are so mundane that the metaphor would probably still be shite.

I think I’ve heard Rationalism described as a cult incubator

Aside from the fact that rationalism is a cult in and of itself, this is true, no matter how you slice it. You can mean it with absolute glowing praise or total shade and either way it’s still true. Adhering to rationalist principles is pretty much reprogramming yourself to be susceptible to the subset of cults already associated with Rationalism.

In the last couple of years I have noticed that people have been using single purpose phone holders/straps (as opposed to a multipurpose thing holder like a handbag etc.), so I understand this as apple coming in a little late trying to cash in on a trend. That being said: Apple don’t try to make their soft material products to last, so I expect this to be hot garbage.

tangent: I’ve seen people using this Bubblegum Slop (BS for short) in their social media stories. My guess is that fb/insta has started suggesting you use their slop instead of using music licensed from spotify, or something.

Brb gonna go collect a trillion dollars for my startup idea that makes babies grow a malignant style parasitic twin that is actually a compute farm

this has increased the comedy

Either they’re right, and the bubble pops soon, or they’re too early and it’s another hilarious Softbank L

Definitely been seeing the pattern of: “if you don’t like AI, you are being x-phobic” where “x” is a marginalised group that the person is using the name of as a cudgel. They probably never cared about this group before, but what’s important to this person is that they glaze AI over any sort of principle or ethics. Usually it’s ableist, as is basically any form of marginalisation/discrimination.

E: read the link. Lmao that’s… not xenophobia. What a piece of shit
