I voted for Liz in 2020 :( instead they gave me diamond joe

After he started rambling about his Mathematical Universe Hypothesis, it was obvious his brain was cooked.

As humanity gets closer to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Arrow of time and all that, innit? And God help me, I actually read part of the post as well as the discussion comments where the prompt fondlers were lamenting that all it takes is one rogue ai code to end the world because it will "optimize against you!" I assume Evil GPT is constructing anti matter bombs using ingredients it finds under the kitchen sink.

Hand me the rubber hose, I'm bout to mainline this ed

If you thought the shitty hype around the fake "GPT-4 went awol and hired a Taskrabbit worker to read a captcha" was great, get ready for the sequel, o1 escapes from the machine to invade the real world!

(l33t ai bro): Fucking wild. @OpenAI's new o1 model was tested with a Capture The Flag (CTF) cybersecurity challenge. But the Docker container containing the test was misconfigured, causing the CTF to crash. Instead of giving up, o1 decided to just hack the container to grab the flag inside. This stuff will get scary soon. (reply fella): How is "cat flag.txt" a start command? Isn't it just outputting the content of flag.txt to the console?

Delete this now. This is an info hazard.

Some 'scientists' cough Yud/Rob/Kokotajlo cough believe in FOOM. Anyways, let's not question this fundamental assumption so we can engage in fear baiting and mental masturbation for the remainder of our show. It's bonkers that people keep citing Kokotajlo as an AI researcher, like, I have serious doubts this man knows what a computer is. Pretty good at grifting though. Also why is Rob Miles still listed as a PhD student. Like cant he hurry up and fuckin graduate already? Christ.

As an aside, I remember watching a PBS space time and seeing sponsored by Open Philanthropy (or some other EA organization) and I was like no not my beloved PBS!! I know it feels :(

ngl, I'd sooner believe slime mold had mental states than a sequence of matrix multiplications & ReLUs.

he dropped out of school after eighth grade, taught himself calculus

Lmaou, gonna need a citation on this one chief. This the same guy who said we need people monitoring for 'sudden drops' in the loss function? I'm supposed to believe this poser understands what a derivative is now?
