Take I've seen in the wild from an AI concern troll: power prices and emissions going up is bad, and it's the fault of anti-AI people for overestimating the energy costs. This is also why we need nuclear power, because it's the only way to cut into the profits of fossil fuel companies.

Gouda dog, my name is Herr Fschmidt.

I’m a 27 year old American Reactionary Programmer (Mennonite coder for you morons). I write parsers and text editors on my TempleOS PC, and spend my days perfecting my html and playing superior Mennonite games. (Determining the closest connection I have with Mennonite strangers, reading the bible, and shunning)

I train with my Holzaxt every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through Peruvian Walnut because it is hammered over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my axe license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Mennonite fluently, both Plautdietsch and the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Mennonite history and their anabaptism, which I follow 100%

When I get my Mennonite visa, I am moving to Pennsylvania to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a farmhand at a puppy mill or a pastor!

I own several zipperless trousers, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Lancaster County, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Bernese German as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Pennsylvania!

ok this is likely nothing of real substance but I searched the name of the dude, and discovered that A) there is a wiki of notable incels/incel influencers and B) the OOP has an entry. It's the same username as in the reddit screenshot.

E: originally I had embedded a link to said incel wiki. Removed because the wiki is run by incels. It’s not hard to find.

Great find. A reactionary fetishising Japan?? Unheard of

Do we have a word for people that are kind of like… AI concern trolls? Like they say they are critical of AI, or even against AI, but only ever really put forward pro-AI propaganda, especially in response to actual criticisms of AI. Kind of centrists or (neo) libs. But for AI.

Bonus points if they also for some reason say we should pivot to more nuclear power, because in their words, even though AI doesn’t use as much electricity as we think, we should still start using more nuclear power to meet the energy demands. (ofc this is bullshit)

E: Maybe it's just sealion

formulaic

System prompt: don’t be formulaic. Try be spontaneous and random, like natalie portman in that movie. Not the pedo one, the one with JD from scrubs

Grue? Is this Zork?

Zit crit!

Agree: I don’t have much of an opinion on him either way. If this community is gonna hold him up as a voice of note then it should be able to critically engage with his work.

If saltman knew what quantum gravity was and why LLMs won’t solve it first, maybe he’d have general intelligence
