Italy becomes Romania
Not to mention that Romania (unrelated to the modern country) was an endonym for the Constantinople-led eastern roman empire, basically Greek for Roman-land.
So yeah, the closer you look the wronger it gets.
I feel like a subset of sci-fi and philosophical meandering really is just increasingly convoluted paths of trying to avoid or come to terms with death as a possibly necessary component of life.
Given rationalism's intellectual heritage, this is absolutely transhumanist cope for people who were counting on some sort of digital personhood upload as a last resort to immortality in their lifetimes.
Wasn't 1994 right about when they stopped making movies in black and white?
That you can jailbreak recall and run it on non compliant hardware seems to be the least concerning thing in that article, recommended reading.
weight classes are for wokies
This used to be a Joe Rogan staple: no weight classes, no time limits and the ring should be the size of a basketball court.
It's really just the umpteenth reiteration of the meathead mantra of how I'd do really well in [popular combat sport] if it weren't for those pesky rules holding me back.
To be really precise it was about measuring the size and distribution of all sorts of skull irregularities (the proverbial 'bumps') and mapping them to various traits, it's basically palm reading for the head.

Except for M&B sleight of hand to work the claim shift shouldn't happen in the same sentence, otherwise it's extremely obvious that you are claiming one thing while carrying water for the other thing (phrenology), which is probably why he ended up deleting the post.
At least they get called on being a word salad merchant in that sub, the response in r/openai is basically rapturous.
Surely an April Fools' thing?
Still, if it's just a parody someone seems to have gone above and beyond in generating content for it.
Past 1M words
That's gonna be 4.000 pages of extremely dubious porn and rationalist navel gazing, if anyone's keeping count.
I can somewhat sympathize, in the sense that there are currently multiple frameworks where Python code is intermixed with magic comments which are replaced with more code by ChatGPT during a compilation step. However, this is clearly a party trick which lacks the sheer reproducibility and predictability required for programming.
He probably just saw a github copilot demo on tiktok and took it personally.
