Think you did, I only followed it up with a google and finding that site.

Not beating the 'this is just Christianity with the labels removed' allegations.

We are in the singularity this is so hard to explain to people.

Describes a normal thing, a think also talked about for several decades in science fiction now.

Amazing the singularity term has now been downgraded to "ai stuff that is hard to explain to laymen".

Thet think their incremental innovations are radical.

According to a site : https://apocaloptimist.net/the-apocaloptimist/

"An Apocaloptimist sees the trouble, but is optimistic we can do anything–including fixing all the world’s problems"

So if jesus wins the war during the second coming all problems are fixed.

(~~The thing is also nuts "we are the people actually working on fixing things [by hoping AGI will fix it all for us]", my brother in Eschatology you are running a podcast~~ sorry the guy is unrelated to the agi people theyvare just using his term).

E: does seem the site itself isnt about AI so they just stole this guys term. Nope they just took this clean energy guys term, sorry about sneering at him he seems to actually want to introduce clean energy and works hard (that seems to be a lot of conventions and blogging however, so buying ourself out of the capitalist problems) for it, as far as I can tell.

Ow god it is pop culture references all the way down. Tvthropes is skynet! You gotta tell them!

Person who lied on his resume about having a cs degree "I need to reduce my cognitive debt"

Im teleporting in real time!

Somebody on bsky talking about various Ben Goertzel Epstein file emails.

AI bros do new experiments in making themselves even stupider. Going from 'explain what you did but dumb it down for me and my degraded attention span' into 'just make a simplified cartoon out of it'.

Proud of not understanding what is going on. None of these people could hack the Gibson.

E: If they all hate programming so much, perhaps a change of job is in question, sure might not pay as much, but it might make them happier.

Yeah, but it is odd, as he managed to scrub all the accusations, which is quite rare for somebody to manage.

Unrelated to that im always reminded of how I didnt like Perdido Street Station, has a few interesting ideas and so much that doesnt work (and a very unlikeable main character).

Wait, the argument is partially women being childless are driven insane? Good to see the return of kings authors found new work blogging for LW.

Miéville

I hope people are aware of the allegations against him, and how he managed to get them all scrubbed from the internet.
