Not surprised to find Sabine in the comments. She's been totally infected by the YouTube algorithm and captured by her new culture-war-mongering audience. Kinda sad, really.

Check out the by-line. Big surprise!

Scott talks a bit about it in the video, but he was recently in the news as the guy who refused to sign a non-disparagement agreement when he left OpenAI, which caused them to claw back his stock options.

I'm fascinated by the way they're hyping up Daniel Kokotajlo to be some sort of AI prophet. Scott does it here, but so does Caroline Jeanmaire in the OP's twitter link. It's like they all got the talking point (probably from Scott) that Daniel is the new guru. Perhaps they're trying to anoint someone less off-putting and awkward than Yud. (This is also the first time I've ever seen Scott on video, and he definitely gives off a weird vibe.)

Lots of discussion on the orange site post about this today.

(I mentioned this in the other sneerclub thread on the topic but reposted it here since this seems to be the more active discussion zone for the topic.)

Same. I'm not being critical of lab-grown meat. I think it's a great idea.

But the pattern of things he's got an opinion on suggests a familiarity with rationalist/EA/accelerationist/TPOT ideas.

Do you have a link? I'm interested. (Also, I see you posted something similar a couple hours before I did. Sorry I missed that!)

As a longtime listener to Tech Won't Save Us, I was pleasantly surprised by my phone's notification about this week's episode. David was charming and interesting in equal measure. I mostly knew Jack Dorsey as the absentee CEO of Twitter who let the site stagnate under his watch, but there were a lot of little details about his moderation-phobia and fash-adjacency that I wasn't aware of.

By the way, I highly recommend the podcast to the TechTakes crowd. They cover many of the same topics from a similar perspective.

But will my insurance cover a visit to Dr. Spicy Autocomplete?

I've been using DigitalOcean for years as a personal VPS box, and I've had no complaints. Not sure how well they'd scale (in terms of cost) for a site like this.

They were using immutable cache control headers on resources that were, in fact, mutable? Uh oh.

"Fucking probabilities, how do they work?"
