Twitter really broke their brains.

Ha, that is the same name the sun energy system has in the Peter Watts Blindsight series.

It eventually falls into the sun.

We are already a few years behind on the planned AI destroying the world

Boosters have, to varying degrees, tried to dilute the definition

They do this with everything, because the tech doesnt hold up to the dreams, a lot of things get diluted. Esp noticably when they compared llms to humans learning and instead of noting llm advancements they talked down how humans learned.

See also the fields reaction to the chinese room thought experiment.

Amazing stuff. LLM security is so cooked.

Lol what a weak argument. Not only does this limit your llm use to only bugfixing (which is what the op is limiting their use to right?), it also ignores how a few big recent outages were prob caused by llms. And it treats ethical concerns like some sort of numbers game. We have one ethical concern for and one against so it cancels out.

And it leads to ‘Mengeles experiments were not unethical because some of the torture he did actually provided valuable insights on the extremes a human body can go through’

You would expect the leader of the ‘make sure the prompt doesnt turn us into paperclips’ movement to better right.

Finally, a machine which makes it impossible to watch the movie batman and robin.

(Joke explainer: the batsuit had nipples).

They asked a chatbot and the chatbot is trained on shadowrun and cyberpunk2077 sourcebooks.

that’s just me being mean.

It prob is, stuff like this seems to be quite common at various nerdy events. Just harmless fun(*). So a bitch eating crackers moment perhaps. I know I have those myself.

*: initially made a typo there and wrote ‘hatless fun’.

We have already all died and been uploaded, but it happend so seamlessly nobody noticed.

Oddly this reminds me of a weird thing. (Not trying to attack you or others here btw, for reasons that I will make clear in the end). When I was active in student activism, I recalled how annoyed our leaders of the group were that a small but vocal (and inactive) part of the organisations membership didnt allow the leaders to be people.

When they (after already working crazy hours btw, these people were committed), spend some time in the evening to wind down and make some sort of joke(*), the inactive members alway would start to send angry emails. 'how dare you make an internal joke while students have less rights/the uni isnt eco friendly/etc". I though back on how that impulse from inside to org was indeed quite weird. Esp as the people complaining didnt seem to be that active members. (If they were they would know how much work was being done and the strain people were under and how the jokes were good for morale).

Something to take into account if you see lesswrong people react negatively to the hat post.

Of course none of this applies tonus as outsiders who do not take them that seriously at all. It is a weird thing to make a long post about indeed, esp with one of the hats being one of yuds it seems? Im wondering if this lesswrong thing is perhaps more of a personality cult that anything serious. A well at least nobody is using the org as a dating hunting ground, that would be bad.

*: basically they would spend their whole day prepping for meetings with the uni/other orgs, sending out emails trying to get the members to help out, doing research and summarizing that for the members etc etc, and at the end of the day they send one internal email about talk like a pirate day, and the next morning they get 21 replies to their work, 20 of those people being mad about the talk like a pirate email.

Crazy taxi? In this house we remember Quarantine

They linked to the empty page oddly enough.

I have no idea, but CInnasVerses post might be a hint. I just found it annoying they simply don’t list it at all. (another odd thing, I found a google ‘this is what wikipedia says about this person’ short description of the link. But the wikipedia page of the person was deleted in 2018. Everything is falling apart.

This is so much better than talking about the ELIZA effect, as most people dont know about that and it was too long ago. Thanks.

Lol, lmao even.

It did make the Dutch news, the headline was something like ‘bitcoin drops after biggest holder sells’.

I was very disappointed to learn they ment saylor, and not that Satoshi had returned and cashed out and crashed everything.

So i have been using DuckDuckGo a bit more, and really disappointed to see they have basically banned rationalwiki.

In Buttcoin related news, apparently Michael J. Saylor has sold some of his bitcoins because he was running out of money and we reached sub 60k. For a quick non dutch source on the selling see this from r/buttcoin (last image). 32 bitcoin was enough to cause a crash. Imagine if Satoshis bitcoins ever moved.
