in one of these preprints there were traces of prompt used for writing paper itself too

maybe it’s to get through llm pre-screening and allow the paper to be seen by human eyeballs

maybe there’s just enough text written in that psychopatic techbro style with similar disregard for normal ethics that llms latched onto that. this is like what i guess happened with that “explain step by step” trick - instead of grafting from pairs of answers and questions like on quora, lying box grafts from sets of question -> steps -> answer like on chegg or stack or somewhere else where you can expect answers will be more correct

it’d be more of case of getting awful output from awful input

nah, what happened is that they were non-psychotic before contact with chatbot and weren’t even usually considered at risk. chatbot trained on entire internet will also ingest all schizo content, the timecubes and dr bronner shampoo labels of the world. learned to respond in the same style, when a human starts talking conspirational nonsense it’ll throw more in while being useless sycophant all the way. some people trust these lying idiot boxes; net result is somebody caught in seamless infobubble containing only one person and increasing amounts of spiritualist, conspirational or whatever the person prefers content. this sounds awfully like qanon made for audience of one, and by now it’s known that the original was able to maul seemingly normal people pretty badly, except this time they can get there almost by an accident, getting hooked into qanon accidentally would be much harder.

No. Barrels of API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) are mostly hauled from India or China, then formulated into pills or whatever, this goes especially for generic medicines. There is some american manufacture of APIs, but these tend to be on more expensive side (biologicals or small molecule drugs under patent). Inputs for these APIs also tend to be made in India or China

*musk voice* if machine god didn’t want me to fuck with the racism dial, he wouldn’t make it

i meant more like scamming true believers out of their money like happens with crypto, this is cfar deal currently. spam, as something nobody should or wants to spend their creative juices on, or for that matter interact in any way, seems a natural fit for automation with llms

“A lot of the early Rationalists thought it was important to tolerate weird people, a lot of weird people encountered that tolerance and decided they’d found their new home,” he wrote in a message to me, “and some of those weird people turned out to be genuinely crazy and in a contagious way among the susceptible.”

The only question is who will get the blame.

what does chatbot say about that?

japanese have 100v and don’t have this problem

it’s sorta impressive that they’re treating their hardware worse than cryptobros then

isn’t openai silicon breaking all the time because it’s so overheated? so they have to replace it a lot of the time? maybe it’s only good for some months

nah they’ll just stop and do nothing. they won’t be able to do anything without chatgpt telling them what to do and think

i think that deflation of this bubble will be much slower and a bit anticlimatic. maybe they’ll figure a way to squeeze suckers out of their money in order to keep the charade going

You don’t need empirical evidence to reason from first principles

It’s not. He-3 is supposed to be maybe one day used in fusion power, but we’re talking about tons of this stuff. Not only scale is off, also He-3 burning requires much higher temperature than D-T fusion, and this is just around in next 20 years pinky promise

People who think that it’s a big deal also take Ray Kurzweil seriously, it’s scifi noise

In practical terms, when DHS wanted to get He-3 neutron sensors, they bought out entire global supply for multiple years, for an application where only grams are needed and it’s not used up. It’s made from decay of tritium currently and it’d be less energy intensive to make it the usual way

cocaine users are convinced that everyone not using cocaine will be left behind, as use of cocaine leads to increase in productivity and innovation

at minimum brits have source code. couple of eu countries make parts for it as well

there’s a couple of big failures in american defense industry (like shipbuilding) but F35 is not one of them. the alleged killswitch is not likely a thing because first, it could be used by the most probable adversary, and they already shown capability in EW; and second, it’s not necessary because it requires constant stream of spare parts and maintenance. as if it’s worth it, ask any remaining iranian radar operator for firsthand opinion

some countries switched to euro made jets anyway, but these aren’t likely to be doing the job that F35 is cut to do anyway (SEAD)

there’s already euro alternative in development, for which americans were explicitly not invited (GCAP, FCAS). there’s also the everything else part of military, half of euro countries make now artillery (both tube and rocket) so these can be bought locally too

it’s not listed because this is not what is happening

italy for example put bridge construction in that military budget (as critical infrastructure)

also the subtext was “spend that defense budget in america” and this is not happening either for variety of reasons, so it’s partial failure already for them
