Damn making honey is metal as fuck. (And I mean that in a omg this is horrible, you could write disturbing songs about it way) CRUSHED FOR YOUNG! MAMMON DEMANDS DISMEMBERMENT! LIVING ON SLOP, HIVE CULLING MANDATORY. Makes a 40k hive city sound nice.

Please, do not rid me of this troublesome priest despite me repeatedly saying that he was a troublesome priest, and somebody should do something. Unless you think it is ethical to do so.

Re the “A lot of the early Rationalists" bit. Nice way to not take responsibility, act like you were not one of them and throw them under the bus because “genuinely crazy” like some preexisting condition, and not something your group made worse, and a nice abuse of the general publics bias against “crazy” people. Some real Rationalist dark art shit here.

There is some dark irony here in that the “we must make sure the AI doesnt turn bad” people cant even stop their own people from turning bad after looking at their own ideas. Wonder if they have already went “musk isnt a real Rationalist” (imho he isnt but for some reason LWers seem to like him) after he turned Grok basically into a neonazi (not sure if it is was reported here but Grok is now doing great replacement shit when asked about Jewish “control of the media”).

Imagine how messy divorces now suddenly get. (Dont worry I know how they will fix this, just ban divorce!)

Somebody didnt do well on tinder

I enjoyed what I have seen from the series so far tbh. Doesnt follow the books religiously l, but still a good bit of sf imho. They seem to understand scale at least.

Thanks!

I will just debate big brother to change their minds!

Sadly we talked about those here, and how unlikely they are to going to work, either in the future or ever. Also, think it was a fusion reactor.

Re being a transhumanists: Well that is why I personally dont like the term tescreal, as I do think there can be good transhumanists out there. The hot swappable furry sex organ transhumanists vs the I just want to code javascript faster transhumanists. (Meant as strawman of both, but Id prefer the first, esp as they are more likely to go the ‘it should be available to all of us or none of us’ route).

Personally I dont think I would mind living forever (or untill Im tired of it) given everyone gets the choice we stay healthy and have free stuff for example. But that will not happen under the Muskians/Rationalists/etc. (im remembering the moment I discovered one of the H+ people was spouting anti trans lines for example, they just want to personally live forever and fuck everyone else it seems).

E: ah they got told to leave.

They traded coal interstellarly, which always made me lol. Think a lot of the people who are this hype about the older sf simply have not read them again in ages. As blakestacey says, the golden age is 12.

He might have also lost a lot of money in betting markets re the nyc primary and his attempt at market manipulation us leading to more exposure of the guy. A very foot shooting moment.

I now imagine a date going ‘hey what is wire heading?’ before slowly backing out of the room.

Also dropped this in the other thread about this but some fam member I think is dropping some lols on the guy. https://bsky.app/profile/larkshead.bsky.social/post/3ljkqiag3u22z it gets less lol when you get to the “yeah we worried he might become a school shooter” bit.

Some people who know cremie are dropping some more lore on him. He apparently has a bit of a problem re lying about credentials and grades : https://bsky.app/profile/larkshead.bsky.social/post/3ljkqiag3u22z

I eas slightly saddened to scroll over his dating profile and see almost every seemed to be related to AI even his other activities. Also not sure how well a reference to a chad meme will make you do in the current dating in SV.

The Korean president should have been aware of biasses ghat would have stopped him falling for a cult.

So, Zelenskyy is goth?

Id tell them to contact local squatters who have exp in this stuff over trusting LLMs myself. But those people will prob not tell them what they want to hear.

But that isn’t a proper copy, as in this simulated reality there is no basilisk (if there is the basilisk also needs to simulate basilisks, and all the way down), so finding out if you are a copy is easy. If it is impossible to build an AGI in our reality, we are in the sim.

Wait…
