"I have a newborn baby and a startup and time is tight." Proceeds to write 10,000 words about typing into the void.

    oh gosh our boy is just so proud that he got the echo-chambering machine specifically engineered to chamber echoes to echo his words.

    what kinds of jailbreak is he going to invent next, maybe a way to make LLMs suck up to everything you say? perhaps even a sophisticated hacker glitch to make LLMs say things that are statistically likely to follow the preceding input

    That reads a lot like “how I got the stripper to like me by stuffing her garter with hundred-dollar bills”

    Mostly I'm just upset that he brings up knob-and-tube wiring and then moves on without ever actually explaining what the fuck he's taking about. Congratulations on living in an old house that hasn't been completely rewired up to modern code I guess? What does that have to do with literally anything that follows? Going off on a long tangent about the history of domestic wiring sounds way more interesting than this dreck.

    Didn't really think about it until just now, but a load-bearing part of Yarvin's work seeming erudite is him dropping in little bits of obscure trivia that may or may not have anything to do with the topic at hand

    @istewart @sneerclub Hey, I do that too! In fiction. Adds that crunchy texture that makes readers think it's profound.

    Like the bottle opener on a Galil, or the "Flower Field" version of Minesweeper, it can also help distinguish your story in small, but interesting ways, and help it stick in a reader's mind. (Had to try this trick for myself :P)

    dead dove

    Truer words, dawg. Amongst everything else, what the fuck is up with the subtitle.

    I can't imagine anyone really subjecting themselves to reading all that, I'm delighted for them though, or distraught that it happened...

    It is a bit sad how Yarvin frontlines his "victory", by quoting some extruded text, but in context—he is somehow kind enough to provide, maybe he didn't bother reading all of that either—it's just some fence-sitting big nothing, i doubt the claims that this produces any form of "red-pilled" Claude.

    (I'm not sure what I expected, but it truly was a dead dove.)

    In 50 years some history pervert's gonna dig this up and have a very weird day.

    You make an important point. For instance, just imagine when Twitter finally goes down for good. Trump's most provocative bullshit is archived in multiple places, but the output of dozens of little Twitlers that we might recognize and consider fairly important movement figures will probably be so much dust in the wind. Historians working on Nazi Germany can consult complete archives of shit like Der Sturmer if they need to; historians working on this period might be faced with a tattered quilt.

    I don't think we can afford copper but I do like the sound of playing a cruel prank on future archaeologists.

    I'm excited to see that he is well into the process of succumbing to AI psychosis. I just hope he manages to lead J.D. Vance someplace really weird before the inevitable.

    Yikes 🫪 I’d never actually finished a full post of his — and still won’t (had to close this one about 1/3 of the way through) 😅 What an insufferable tool.
