I'm guessing it's because their existing line of business (image generation) has been commoditized by the hyperscalers' image models, and there's no longer any reason for anyone to pay for Midjourney.

we don’t actually need human-like AI for paperclip maxxing

This bit is true though; capitalism is already doing a fine job of paperclip maxxing.

All of complainer's posts on that issue are clearly LLM-written.

Personally, I enjoy talking about goblins.

I will say that Yogthos seems to be unique—the Marxist-Leninists I observe elsewhere seem to pretty much universally despise LLMs, and on the Red side of the fediverse his posting is usually met with confusion.

ProofOfConcept may not be sentient now, but once we figure out how to put programming socks on her, the +2 coding bonus will put her over the top.

Should I be worried that this is on the bcachefs domain? I already don't use bcachefs for other reasons.

Notes that I thought about related to this, just some context:

1. Joshua Sutter is the son of the owner of the former Southern Patriot Shop in South Carolina. He founded the Tempel ov Blood chapter of the Order of Nine Angles, a Neo-Nazl Satanist group. He was outed in 2021 as having been a federal informant since 2005, which is to say he still does the same Nazi shit, but gets paid by the FBI to do it.

2. One of the core practices of the O9A is entryism into other groups, especially other cultish ones. In that context, you'd kind of be surprised to not see O9A people in Rat circles.

Every time an LLM-related package appears on ELPA I die a little more inside.

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.

It's like carbon monoxide binding to hemoglobin.

Zen is AI free, at least so far.
