Dont worry about the heat. Normal computers provide normal computing. Quantum computers quantum computing, ergo quantum computers provide quantum heat. Totally different.

I hope this convinces you all to invest in my magic data center.

Without having read that specific article

From what I heard Cofnas research is quite bad (it has cases of him seemingly not having read the sources he cites as those say the opposite of what he claims they do, and that is above the normal badness of race science shit. Some of his tweets (I think it was tweets, could also have been facebook posts or something) certainly read as 'intended for internal racist fights' and not intended for academics). And the guy who appointed him is also being looked at with suspicion. So hope they also take a good look at the guy who hired him (without using the normal process for it apparently).

I'm gonna make AIGadot say 'Free Palestine'.

(For some context, Gadot is more a supporter of the Israeli military than stopping what is going on in the various Palestinian territories. But she is not the worst)

Part of the accusations were also that he faked running a lot of marathons in a short period. Which he actually did. I even heard that some news outlets who accused him of faking it actually had reported themselves on him running the marathons.

It is a kiwifarms style witch hunt but started by a racist academic, and perpetuated with help from the media.

Well, yeah don't think that is strange, if you eliminate stuff like aging and sickness, a random thing like a traffic accident (interesting he picked bus, and not a general traffic accident, or the more common car as a way to die, but the mega rich do hate public transport) will take you out.

There prob is already a science fiction story where a society of near immortals become mega risk averse because they fear falling down a stair and breaking their neck.

If it is created by Rationalists part of the oddness could be explained (apart from them just being Rationalists), that they want to be superpredictors, their magic math skills and prediction experience give them better prediction powers. Which will also lead to them subconsciously grading things better than they are because they are invested in it.

The polymorphic malware is hard to make a signature from, that must mean it is self aware!

On the bright side, you can reduce your token usage by 20% with one simple trick.

Or reduce it by almost 100% by using the 'rm -rf' command.

Technically that is unclear this is what he says:

‘No doubt it is,’ Caplan conceded, ‘but I don’t want the superintelligence to come into existence before I’m uploaded. It’s very important to me that I’m the first transcendent being in this stellar system. I can’t risk having to compete with another resource-hungry entity; I have personal plans that require at least one Jovian mass of computronium.’

Drum machine? Autotune would be a better example

Yeah it is nuts, also very funny that in the book im reading which mocks the rationalists, the rationalist goal is to own Jupiter or something.
