And all that stuff just turned out to be true

Literally what stuff, that AI would get somewhat better as technology progresses?

I seem to remember Yud specifically wasn't that impressed with machine learning and thought so-called AGI would come about through ELIZA type AIs.

When people start going on about having nothing to hide usually it helps to point out how there's currently no legal way to have a movie or a series episode saved to your hard drive.

I suspect great overlap between the nothing-to-hide people and the people who watch the worst porn imaginable but think incognito mode is magic.

Yeah but like national socialist power metal isn't a thing in the way nsbm is.

I wonder if it's primarily occultism's nazi problem metastasizing, foundational dorks like Vikernes notwithstanding.

Edward Teach is supposedly the pen name of The Last Psychiatrist who was sort of a precursor blog to slatestar, if only in the sense that it was a psychiatrist who was also a good writer, blogging about the human condition. He was doing parable-style short-form fiction way before slatescott, for instance.

While I don't remember there being any particular ideological overlap, both him and siskind seem to scratch the same itch for a lot of people, and siskind claims to be a fan.

The whole point of using these things (besides helping summon the Acausal Robot God) is for non-technical people to get immediate results without doing any of the hard stuff, such as, I don't know, personally maintaining and optimizing an LLM server on their llinux gaming(!) rig. And that's before you realize how slow inference gets as the context window fills up or how complicated summarizing stuff gets past a threshold of length, and so on and so forth.

The engineers can generally also do other things

What's the job posting for that going to look like, LLM stack maintainer wanted, must also be accomplished front end developer in case things get slow?

That just sounds incredibly British to me.

When I clicked the video I fully expected Rocko with a c to mean Rosko.

HBD is a legit line of scientific inquiry you guys, it's not just eugenics obsessed weirdoes and fascists trying to bring back birthright as the primary path to privilege.

Also there was a whole thing about how CGTP tends to use 'delve' a lot because it's been RLHF'd by speakers of nigerian english, so yeah.

But then you'll never find out what like a jellyfish surfacing at sea is in reference to.

I wonder how much of that family fortune has found its way into EA coffers by now.

It's not even eugenics to optimize ze genome to make ze uberbabies, OP mostly seems mad people are allowed to have non-procreative sex and couches it in a heavily loaded interpretation of inclusive fitness.
