you must click the video link

the video title alone made me flinch, then the video started

also wtf at the custom url, I guess s is their “share domain” under their domain that looks extremely like a spam domain[0]

then searching up around that name, one finds this (warning: linkedin) with “4 followers”, and a smattering of vc sauce in all the associated/cluster shit

god these people are just so fucking exhausting

[0] - spammers fuckin love many of the new TLDs

is when the blighted thing pretends it’s anything at all like a person and …

one of the helpful things that I think is worth reminding people of is that the thing described here is entirely the result of overt intent and choice on the part of humans shaping the fucking thing

it isn’t an emergent property

from the curation of data going into training to shaping “preferred output” (by tuning whatever properties my apply in xyz llm execution pipeline) this shit is all Super Polite by fucking design

exact same shit applies for the prompts responding “oh yeah I’m totes alive! look, I feel doubted that you even asked! :sad:” - that shit is curated and engineered

but I do hear where you’re coming from on the anger. 100%.

the sheer amount and rapidity of times it goes from “fucking wot m8” to moments where you can just see him cackling to himself, “hee heeeeee… that’ll teach 'em!”, just constant whiplash

my neck hurts and I should’ve stretched

the amount of doublethink and newspeak this is attempting to push is remarkable

also afaik thiel isn’t one to regularly demean himself to writing tidbits such as this, is he? I don’t recall seeing nearly as many words from mr likes-it-private as I have from andreesen et al
