Really hope this is going to be the wave breaking, as it is getting so stupid. (Some dutch library had all its new books be ai slop (some even quite racist it seems), and this isnt a single incident).

He is married to Galef?

CFAR? The 'We can learn a lot from scientology courses' guys?

E: No wait that was Lukeprog

a group that says it’s going to solve philosophy

This must hit really hard if you are Wittgenstein

Ow yes, I know, I'm not dragging on CNC (which imho if properly executed also has limits, the dominant party isn't suddenly allowed to get into cutting after they watched a slasher movie if that wasn't part of an agreement for example). And I think you can already do that in part with the lovesense stuff, if people agree to 24/h them. (Not sure about the batterylife of those things then whoever).

Btw, he isnt the creator, he is just the fourth engineer they hired. He is much more a content creator (and game patent asshole) than the creator: https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Community:Shedletsky

E: he also created this "A Bridge Too Far is a game that was created on September 21, 2007. The objective of the game is to blow up the bridge." Which as a Dutch guy just makes a lot of alarm bells go off. (In market garden the bridges needed to be taken intact). Im not saying he is a crypto neonazi btw, it is just a dumb bad name.

The tweet before that:

Let me tell you something about Akash. During a project at Berkeley, I accidentally deleted our entire codebase 2 days before the deadline. I panicked. Akash just stared at the screen, shrugged, and rewrote everything from scratch in one night—better than before.

This says more about you, the scale of the project, bad organisation of your group, and the lack of challenge of Berkeley (nice namedrop though) group projects, and the failure of understanding the excersize (the goal is to learn how to work as a group and notice the networking problems), and the goals of being at a university (networking, partying and learning) than anything else.

Hell I know of a project that also did this and they didnt manage to rewrite the project, as it actually took a lot of time.

We will have a manned mission to mars within two years! Full self driving this year! This will bank the unbanked! Wait, sorry different guys. ;)

Just the opening alone, doesn't know what to do with his life, but mentions 'NPC coworkers' (that is also so fucking weird, I don't think I have worked with much people who gave off an NPC vibe off at all, like people always seemed like people with lives and hobbies, social lives, families interests, stuff they cared about, etc.

It started to dawn on me that what I actually wanted was to look like Elon, and that is incredibly cringe. It hurts to even type this out.

My reactions to this 'ow come on, you call others NPCs?!' and 'at least he knows it is cringe'

When I got back home and regaled my friends with my mountain stories, one of my friends joked that I should work for Elon and Vivek at DOGE and help America get off its current crash to defaulting on its own debt. So I reached out to some people and got in.

This has got to be a parody.

So now I’m in Hawaii. I’m learning physics.

Ha, I recently watched, this video billionaires want you to know they could have done physics by actual Theoretical Physicist, Angela Collier. I'm quite sure he will not be getting an actual degree in physics.

I don't have the energy to read the orange site comments.

'i am a stochastic parrot and so are u'

reminds me of

"In his desperation to have produced reality through computation, he denigrates actual reality by equating it to computation"

(from this review/analysis of the devs series). A pattern annoying common among the LLM AI fans.

E: Wow, I did not like the reactionary great man theory spin this article took there. Don't think replacing the Altmans with Yarvins would be a big solution there. (At least that is how the NRx people would read this article). Quite a lot of the 'we need more well read renaissance men' people turned into hardcore trump supporters (and racists, and sexists and...). (Note this edit is after I already got 45 upvotes).

I have joked before how people really into stoicism tend to be quite emotional and even a risky, as stoicism always seems to be aspirational and doesnt describe the stoic fans behaviour (a good example is the yter Sargon), but this might be a bit of an extreme example.

'nerds taking over the world' no it was finance with techbros taking over the world. If nerds had taken over there would be a lot more open source and we wouldn't all be familiar with the word 'enshitiffication'.

One of the most famous techbros wants people to print out code and has trouble running a python script.

E: that these fucks can play with their venture capital shit while Real Tech Nerds(tm, do not steal!) like Foone have to ask for donations is pretty terrible. (Foone is a fun account to follow if you like somebody who takes old hardware and stuff apart in fun ways).

E: related skeet "1980s techies: Imagine a World Wide Web where all human knowledge can be shared and accessed by everyone. 2020s techbros: We will steal every word you’ve ever shared, every artwork you’ve ever displayed, lock them away in datasets without your permission, then sell them all back to you, but shite."
