Ok, that's fair enough. The framing of "misinformation [...] I would like to seed" was just there to frame the bits. I don't really want these bits to take off.

When

…I do not give Instagram or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Instagram it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents.

Goes wrong

I think it's accurate that the US and England didn't join to stop the Holocaust. Sentence 3 is a little oversimplified, and sentence 4 is straight-up lunacy.

Well, I can see the distinction being important. I'm sure the adult baby/ageplay crowd don't want their good reputation stained by these chuds

as one of many people here who has undergone undergrad math, i reckon a month of youtube and anki might not be enough for even intro to linear algebra. I’m even saying this as someone who skipped all lectures and crammed before all the tests.

cocktail component: Ur-bitters. Suggested preparation: place a moldbug into a burlap sack. Muddle sack with a bat-sized muddler. If no muddler can be sourced, an ordinary bat is fine. Collect strained liquid and dispose of sack and contents.

A friend of mine recently had a kid and gave the snoo a good review. If it’s really that good a product, it should be nationalised in the name of public health.

Yeah an inner mental process that has been replicated - well to a (very) limited degree.

Given that you refuse to provide a definition of creativity, this is not something that you (specifically you, not the generic) are allowed to believe.

My argument is that this is exactly what is so offensive to people.

Your argument is wrong. People who are “offended” by AI don’t believe that AI is doing anything that humans are doing beyond formulaic bullshit and plagiarism.

The painful realization or disillusionment that one of the things we held most special about being human, turns out is not so special after all.

If you or a loved one has experienced said painful disillusionment, my advice would be to go outside, touch grass, i.e. experience what it means to be human, because your conception of such is lacking.

I never would have predicted that before GPT-3. I look at movies or stories with a character that is an artistic archetype differently now.

You never saw a robot in fiction, specifically the many robots that are characterised to be all but human? The ones designed to be mirrors to humanity so that we can gain perspective on exactly what makes us human? Roy Batty? Data? Bender Bending Rodriguez?

Meat good! Silicon bad!

They label those packets specifically “do not eat”, I guess you had to learn the hard way.

BJ: "I don't know what the is-ought problem is, or why anyone cares. I am clearly qualified to declare it solved. First, let me google what the definition of 'is' is, and also what 'ought' is. Then I'll use some science words to hot glue the two things together, and BAM! Solved. Another win for e/acc."

FWIW the “reply” that Yud “broadly endorse[s]” is the top comment:

https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/g72tGduJMDhqR86Ns/diamondoid-bacteria-nanobots-deadly-threat-or-dead-end-a?commentId=T5FNEgeCCXFjGMsbN

I read his comment in the original post and thought he was endorsing your article, which, for a moment, made me think Yud had a little more magnanimity than I’ve seen before.

RE: covalently bonded bacteria. Here’s evidence of how Yud is joking: he understands bacteria as well as I do, which is not at all. However, I know that bacteria can be spooky, so if I were Yud trying to make a joke about bacteria, I’d google for developments in bacteria research and pick some phrase that stood out.

Given that the energy cost would probably kill off a significant portion of bumblebees or something, it’d have to do a lot of damage to TESCREAL to be worth it, just on utilitarian grounds alone. Given that these people seem to lack self awareness I don’t think satire would have any appreciable effect on them.
