Ok that is it, im changing my mind. All the rationalist genetics stuff is real and true as there is a fascism gene.

Do note how this legion of kid slaves shit shows how he both doesnt believe will go to mars nor that ai/robots can automate things.
You dont make new children to save civilization in 18+ years if you think in 2 years you will go to mars/build robots that automate everything/build the robotgod.
Yes you are right and it wasnt even that bad, the footnote was only half the length of a 'who build this old roman wall?' footnote.
Id say a lot of the better ones dont at least not regularly (in my exp), did hear from one of those that they had a problem with new hires, some lf them have very random output quality wise, until they get fired for using llms for everything.
Ah a food related charity that is important wonder what they did with the millions, ah release papers. That is ...
With the collapse of the US empire and hegemony in progress wonder if they actually did something with this or if it is all another thought experiment.
E: wow that users posts history is something. Drops that article 3 years ago. Silence till some weird comment (directly addressing yud claiming they had some big breakthrough, about the mind state of the zizians of course. And it is all speculation and way too verbose).
"In hindsight, CFAR co-founder Anna Salamon told NBC, “we were creating conditions for a cult.”", if only there had been people warning about this, sadly such a club didn't exist. Anyway, im sure this will lead to them reflecting and changing things.

Quick post: bad news here in Europe, Meta allowed to scrape facebook/instagram. bad source (just a screenshot isn't great as a source)
Time to start a new business to distract people the previous one is not living up to expectations. Musk style. (A degree of vertical integration will also be involved)
E: '"The Grok integration with X has made everyone jealous,” says someone working at another big AI lab. “Especially how people create viral tweets by getting it to say something stupid.”' These are deeply unserious people, billions of dollars just to build AI Dril, which was already a thing. Is there some weird nerd somewhere who said something like 'culture is downstream from viral memes' or something just as dumb? Related to that, so I have basically quit twitter, and only visit there to look up if a quoted thing was real etc, but damn the site has gotten bad. How does anybody use it when so many replies are either bot replies, ai replies or people using their checkmark to push their one word replies to the top? Esp bigger accounts/viral tweets just get swarmed with shit. It has a bit of the 'comment section of abandoned blog' feeling to it. And this is the validation the AI company craves?
Wtf
E: it might have been fixed, now only if they also fixed all the other things. Erugh hate how much they are offloading the 'is this valuable' thing on just how mad (and who) people are getting. Such an extreme social cost (but very 'X but on the blockchain!' techbro style offloading of the costs unto others)
Yeah, it is fucking scary. My sympathies and solidarity. Small thing, perhaps a good reminder for everybody to check their opsec (esp if you are an administrator of things, check which data you do not need, or should not fall into the current (or future) us/other fascist administrations hands. And remember while spying on Americans by the various orgs is illegal, trading for information on them with other countries is not. Don't forget backups). It is horrible that it has come to this. One small point of light is that they are fools and can't shut up or be subtle. At least that has a chance to motivate more people to do something, which if it gets to the worst (and it is getting close) more people will actually resist (sadly a lot of people will have to realize that the point becomes not to win, but to impose costs/friction, and any wins are a bonus, which is a horrible realization in itself). Really hope this doesn't make things worse mentally btw.
Remember the apocalypse slop buckets the rightwing grifto sphere kept trying to sell?
