They targeted redditors. Redditors. (jk)

Ok but yeah that is extraordinarily shitty.

Putting philosophy talks at a music festival is one of those ideas you come up with to try and sound smart, cool, and edgy, but as a high schooler who has never done drugs nor been to a live show before.

Anyway I went through the lineup summaries on the wikipedia page, two notes:

1. No Jay Shetty! His particular brand of grift philosophy and thinly veiled clout chasing would fit in exactly at this sort of event. Then again, this festival might actually be beneath him, as he hangs out with hollywood a-listers.
2. The lineup noticeably hits its turning point into a nosedive when they start hosting Pinker in 2018.

I can only offer my solidarity and sympathies. If I were still living in the US, I’d probably have started taking firearms training and bought some by now.

I checked the link, the thread elaborates a bit more:

to which my understanding is: this is absolutely true as well.

How much of this is the AI bubble collapsing vs. Ohiophobia

slophistry

Not even venmo knows.

after this decisive victory, I guess I have no choice but to take this mask off, what a shame...

that+ losing the popular vote in 2016 must have really hurt that ego of his.

This wasn’t from a place of knowledge. I made a social read. Musk is absolutely the type to call a trilby a fedora and feel smug about it; I extrapolated from that.

According to my former left-libertarian roommate: also the scumbag scion of a political dynasty I think? I didn’t look into it because I had no reason to doubt

shakes fist at gerard that David is a real scallywag!

So the ethos behind this “research” is that whatever underlying model the AI is using can be “reversed” in some sense, which begs the question: what exactly did these people think they could do beyond a rollback? That they could beg the AI to stop being mean or something?

They were probably inspired by the blanka creation scene from the street fighter movie where they brainwash some guy by showing him video clips of bad stuff and then switch it to showing good stuff.
