you do know that you don’t have to be a pliant useful idiot like this, right? doing the free “open source” pr repetition (when it’s none of that)? shit’s more like shareware (if that at all - certainly doesn’t have the same spiritual roots as shareware. for them it’s some shit thrown over the wall to keep the rabble quiet)
(it’d be nice if we could popularise something like how kernel will go “tainted”, but unfortunately the entire fucking llm field is so we’d need a stronger word)
Feeling decidedly strange to keep having the internet weirdos one’s been keeping a watch on keep coming up in news like this..
Man, I didn’t even know how to react to this nonsense
same way as other nazis - boop 'em on the nose
I'd be willing to wager a guess that this fragile little flower has never had a "physical altercation" in their life and would walk away with fucking ~ptsd from a single "hey that shit is not okay" boop
this hints at is that these people are dumb and fundamentally incurious
if you're talking about eigenrowboat, I don't think I agree. they're quite curious, but they "just" go in with a particular viewpoint and a desire to "prove their point" in the most prevaricating way possible. it's no accident that the entire sphere of "how do we make scientific racism and nazism more socially palatable" gravitates around these fuckers. if you're instead talking about them making these comments in a "see the poor are dumb and useless and thus deserve what they get", well, see aforementioned shitty opinions
wow, thanks for that wonderfully personal and thought out contribution
what the fuck makes you think "let me, unasked, go pop some shit into a prompt, and then unload its response on someone who didn't ask for it" is at all something that's okay to do?
fucking moronic dickheads
new idea: get the morewrongers to work themselves up about "ontologically, is 'superhuman prediction' the same class as superintelligence?"
why? oh, y'know, just things:
friend of mine happened to dm me this the other day, and here are my reactions from chat, verbatim (albeit timestamps removed)
fucking sfba method, man
so many things in that post, man, god
linear extrapolation for “lost sales”, doing the double presumption of both constant uptake and that everyone would definitely have been a customer
“whatever you’re thinking, double it” bayfucker advice
and just …. everything
fucking hell
and the code. fuck me the fucking code. it's always "nice" to see just how very very clever all the yc fuckers are. but christ does it give me feelings.
but they gotta go fast! if they're barely approaching redshift, are they even agile?!
Yeah.
I had parents that did this shit (and more). Emphasis on “had”: I walked the fuck away from the whole goddamn lot.
Does my fucking head in to see this kind of shit not only being given airtime but done so without criticism in the coverage.
I'm not aware of any, got a source?
"You see, if I don't ...[pause..massive bong hit]..get involved, right? If I don't get involved ...[pause..walks to table, grabs a keg, slams it in one go].. then I by default can't be subjected to the problem! [does line of coke off side of now-empty keg] And this way, I can always be perfectly neutral! [coke kicks in] This is how I manage to make HN be so central to everything!"
and feel there are a number of nonracial issues that have since become much more important than the things WNs fixate on
like staying out of jail? and making profit off loons? at least, I'm guessing those are the priorities
Ah, good old TPOT, and the teenage-wisdom “you just don’t like hearing the truth” takes. Such elevation, blessed be the fucking clowns.
(Extreme double-lol at paulie coming in hot there)
nah, not yet, imo. reasons: you overestimate how much & how many people care, and the complexities of doing such blocks well
I run the hosting of some small (by global standards) media setups and I've floated crawler defense there and had fairly little bite so far despite the issues the crawlers have caused. engagement brain is still extremely fucking prevalent
using it to source data in the meantime. I can tell you with absolute certainty that openai lies about its sourcing
