giving any reason other than “the community needs to be more racist” is way exceeding my expectations. well on them

At Ares, we would never wish for a war to occur.

that sentence sent me. you literally named the company ares bro

thinking about how I was inoculated against part of ai hype bc a big part of my social circle in undergrad consisted of natural language processing people. they wanted to work at places with names like “OpenAI” and “google deepmind,” their program was more or less a cognitive science program, but I never once heard any of them express even the slightest suspicion that LLMs of all things were progressing toward intelligence. it would have been a nonsequiter.

also from their pov the statistical approach to machine learning was defined by abandoning the attempt to externalize the meaning of text. the cliche they used to refer to this was “the meaning of a word is the context in which it occurs.”

finding out that some prestigious ai researchers are all about being pilled on immanetizating agi was such a swerve for me. it’s like if you were to find out that michio kaku has just won his fourth consecutive nobel prize in physics

for every one of me that shit my pants the AGI is simulating ten million of me that didn’t, so on average i’m doing pretty ok

honestly I just couldn’t bring myself to copy paste that. easily the worst part

EDIT: have they considered offering a huge cash prize to anyone who proves them wrong

i mean i describe it as a gacha game in the third sentence, i’m pretty clear about that. mtg has always been exploitative, they’re just taking it to another level now

re: election results. unfortunately i’m not surprised or even disappointed by now. it makes me feel sad for my 2015 self and her naivete. she didn’t understand what a disgusting and evil culture she lived in

lmao the disclosure is all the way down at the bottom and it’s soooo small

I heard openai execs are so scared of how powerful the next model will be that they’re literally shitting themselves every day thinking about it. they don’t even clean it up anymore, the openai office is one of the worst smelling places on earth
