Google: "Hey creatives, please write propaganda about how this technology that is directly disrupting your livelihoods is good, actually! Not enough people hate you enough for us to stop paying you!!!"
Gotta say, I’m not much of a JLB head, so I don’t fully understand this (would love an explainer!). At first glance I thought this was a Menards reference and super didn’t understand.
Telstra, partnering with shitty people and throwing money at a shitty technology? What year is this, <any year of Telstra's private operation>?
I think in this thread it’s not “this thing is gross because it involves sex stuff”, it’s “this sex stuff is made gross by the involvement of aella and co, who we understand to have fundamentally different and incorrect ideas about ethics both in general and specific to sex”
Basically anything Aella touches merits a sniff test.
Seeing Yarvin mansplain eugenics really does make one wonder how he doesn't just get suckerpunched whenever he says anything at someone in public.
I didn’t know that uwu news influencer was a thing.
It's probably a thing where if you start thinking about it, it's always been around, but we've just never had the right vocabulary to describe it.
Opening up the sack with your new favourite uwu news influencer giving a quick shout-out to our old pals, the NRx. Hoped that we wouldn’t get here, but here we are, regardless.
i’m gonna need a hint here, boss. Here’s my guesses:
my guesses
- Jim Carrey (eggman from live action sonic)
- DJT (campaigned on price of eggs)
- m12n (looks like an egg)
- that one LWer that posts really long anti-trans screeds (probably not this person but it’s tempting to label them as an egg)
Another big oof. Hippie ass white guy saying that we should just JAQ off and give other problematic white guys a chance. Sounds about white!
Also his book is co/ghost written by Neil Strauss, the game/PUA manual guy.
Vercel? What’s the ver stand for? (jk)
Oof that’s the good stuff. Chuds with overly self-inflated egos co-opting eastern philosophy for tech shit is pretty well known around these parts. It’s refreshing to see it from a slightly different white guy.
Also, my usual muckraking bore unexpected fruit:
I’m gonna believe it. The Candace Owens part is disputed, and I daresay debunked, though.

From @BootsRiley:
Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger who tries to recruit music industry folks to Q-anon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump.
He just looks like a hippie.

Abstracted abstract:
Frontier models are increasingly trained and deployed as autonomous agents, which significantly increases their potential for risks. One particular safety concern is that AI agents might covertly pursue misaligned goals, hiding their true capabilities and objectives – also known as scheming. We study whether models have the capability to scheme in pursuit of a goal that we provide in-context and instruct the model to strongly follow. We evaluate frontier models on a suite of six agentic evaluations where models are instructed to pursue goals and are placed in environments that incentivize scheming.
I saw this posted here a moment ago and reported it*, and it looks to have been purged. I am reposting it to allow us to sneer at it.

Hey, me too, but there are plenty of low-scruple* production companies that will happily beat their understaff into penning this slop. That’s hollywood, baby!
