Or amalgamating with them. Robinhood has been partnered with Kalshi since last year, and they're trying to gin up some kind of "standardized" prediction market contract format, a la CBOE's standards for futures and options.

Intentionally switching to a more trivial scale, while remaining purposefully vague and imprecise, is such a fascinating bafflegab tactic. It's a giant waving red flag that Altman is bullshitting, but many people (especially in the press!) still take it as profound.

Props to Lemmy for doing... something... with the katakana URL. Was still able to follow the link on Safari.

Even as someone herding along a few perpetually-in-progress Gentoo setups, piping curl into sh to install random stuff staggers me. I don't see how this can be taken seriously; the software and the surrounding hype complex come off as a gimmick to catfish impressionable high-schoolers who don't know any better.

"Hey kid, want to try some Linux?"

On the other hand, bombing foreign data centers, likely located in densely populated urban areas, would be justified and morally upstanding if it seems like they might be incarnating the imaginary computer god! I'm glad we have such a nuanced thinker guiding our modern morality.

Said it before, I'll say it again: if Americans are all temporarily embarrassed millionaires, HN is where the temporarily embarrassed billionaires go to hang out

"Leaking rationalist-evidence-bits" is an unexpectedly top-tier euphemism for the aftermath of digesting Wendy's chili

How interesting, a volcel who only thinks he’s an incel. Many such cases
