Looks like cypherpunk slop

Market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent/etc.

but with Haskell replaced with a much worse ML with a much less coherent type system

Urbit moment

You can’t take TSMC by force. Any fighting there would trash the fabs, and anyway you need imported equipment to keep it running. So if China did invade Taiwan and wreck it, there’d be little point in trying to take it back.

I genuinely wonder how I’m gonna be a programmer long term because the industry has been so thoroughly infested with this nonsense.

“They might as well be Latvians” is a straight out of Arrested Development.

Eliezer is a major contributor to the rationalist attitude of venerating super-forecasters and super-predictors and promoting the idea that rational smart well informed people should be able to put together super accurate predictions!

This is a necessary component of his imagined AGI monster. Good thing it’s bullshit.

Why would anyone name a browser after Ronald Reagan’s wife anyway

Edit: facepalm

there’s no such thing as an open source LLM you fucking clown

I’m driven beyond irrationally mad about this. How can it be called open source when they cannot legally share the sources with you because they’re stolen? Watching the OSI wrap their little green keyway around the AI industry is one of the factors that helped deprogram me away from the starry eyed idea I had about FOSS.

Wonder if people karma farm there…

Only things that a hidden camera can do.

This is a massive loss. At this point we need specific legislation. Insane to grant fair use to a for-profit copier that provides no benefit to the owner of the copied item and competes with it in the market. I cannot overstate how shitty this is.

He doesn’t believe in Germ theory. He’s utterly deranged. The grift is alternative medicine, but I don’t know if he really understands that it’s a grift. His bosses surely do, but they just want to inflict as much punishment on institutions as possible.

That’s basically the Rationalist story tbh. Read banks, it went right over their head, and now they see hostile Minds around every corner.

Imagine if it was trying to build a feature for a client who needs to look at a demo every time.

You can definitely learn how to code, I believe in you.

Under no circumstances allow your US Citizen self to be illegally detained by ICE I guess.

he’s got that hybrid vigor

What the actual fuck do these people believe???

If I had to summarize it, they believe in scifi handwaves and have taken them far beyond mere logical conclusions.
