“AI researcher blogger”

From the second link

first, I’ve seen that one of the most common responses is that anyone criticising the original post clearly doesn’t understand it and is ignorant of how language models work

And

PS: please don’t respond to this thread with “OK the exact words don’t make sense, but if we wave our hands we can imagine he really meant some different set of words that if we squint kinda do make sense”.

I don’t know why some folks respond like this every single *time

Lol.

And of course Yud doubles down in the replies and goes on about a “security mindset”. You can see why he was wowed by ceos, he just loves the buzzwords. (‘what if the singularity happens’ is not a realistic part of any security mindset, it gets even sillier here, as the recursive selfimprovement here just instantly leads to a undetectable AGI without any intervening steps)

It gets even better, in defending himself he points out that using the wrong words is fine and some people who do research on it actually say loss function at times, and as an example he uses a tweet that is seemingly mocking him (while also being serious about job offers as nothing is not on several levels of ironic online) https://xcancel.com/aidangomez/status/1651207435275870209#m

Remember, when your code doesn’t compile, it might mean you made a mistake in coding, or your code is about to become selfaware.

Certainly a lot more money in that, than scouring github for code you can put into urbit.

Tbh, from looking it up it seems to have just been a Muslim rights org who complained it wasnt great (which seems fine), reading between the gossip lines. Also seems that the AI images were from the people who hired K3 to play not them themselves.

Nobody seems to have been mad enough to firebomb openAIs offices.

Belgian AI fails. So there is a big kids pop group popular in Belgium/The Netherlands, called K3. They used genAI images for their show. And apparently it created images of them with with both bikinis and headscarfs at the same time. According to this article https://www.nu.nl/muziek/6368424/k3-geschrokken-van-ongepaste-ai-beelden-tijdens-optreden-jammere-fout.html (in Dutch sorry) lot of people apparently were mad. (I have not seen mad people myself, so not sure if it actually was a problem, and how many people are mad over the four main reasons to be mad possibly (being, ‘islamisation’, immodesty, being insulting to Muslims, and feeding genAI crap to kids while you are one of the biggest acts around (and can certainly afford professional artists), so take into account this is likely a nothingburger))). I was amused to read first that they had shown inappropriate images, and then read it was just headscarves and bikinis.

e: also note for context, nu.nl is a news site, but usually the quality of their articles isn’t the greatest, not a lot of actual journalism, and a lot of bias towards the establishment and a tendency to mainstream pro the current social order stuff no matter how out there. (They had articles going 'no the inflation isn’t due to companies rising prizes, as not all inflation is because of that) and a tendency to post a lot of gossip like shit. (nos.nl is our big main news site). And their source, shownews is worse. It is basically on our fox news style tv channel. (they have an eveningshow ‘vandaag inside’ which is basically causing the people who watch it to become nuts in the fox news style way, esp elderly people. Weird transphobic rants, anti-woke shit, contrarian idiots who don’t realize they are idiots but are brave truthtellers, all brought in a ‘bar style’ sort of setting. Watched some of it (really funny to hear them say leftwingers don’t watch their shows) and every hour of it would require several ours to explain why almost everything they say is wrong)). I’m trying to provide context for where my poor country is going.

Lol at the critihype from the BussyGyatt person in that post. Come on LLMs will not become AGI, and that leaves LLMs ‘predicting shutdowns will be bad for their goals’ which is only so because people like this have kept saying it an the LLMs have trained on it. If you really worried about this, you’d stop feeding that data to it.

I dont know anything about the locations of any offices, but could it he that openAI just didnt have any local places? Asking them why not all worked ld be a good journalist question

But otoh it is just two three of them, and the second ones photo gives off a weird vibe. Why is he smiling like it is a joke?

Yeah the god argument is wat invalidates it for me, then it no longer is an ancestor/rescue simulation, it is just a simulation thought experiment where everything goes. I’m basically trying to point out a motte/bailey here. Where they make arguments for specific simulation stuff where it is convenient for them, but as soon as there is pushback it is ‘but they have the power of gods’.

It gets even worse, as under our computing paradigm, you can’t properly make simulations of the whole world, it is too computationally expensive. But, the ‘real’ people being simulated are people working in those fields (because lets be honest, it isn’t violinists making these arguments, not the people the 4channers are claiming are real). Which means their simulation is useless, as the simulation is incorrect in their important work. It is like simulating newton, but instead of in gravity he lives in a space station without gravity. It is no longer a proper simulation of the man, it is just some weird experiment, and well, now the simgods can do anything and we can’t say anything useful about anything so it all falls apart into mental masturbation. Cops and robbers for adults ‘no you can’t shoot me I have a forcefield’.

E: wanted to look for a proper definition of ‘rescue simulation’ as now I’m running on half remembered sentences and vibes, so I looked into r/SimulationTheory/ and just looking at the subjects of the posts made me sad and made me realize how many people are going to lose a lot of their grip on reality. Hope they can come back (not everybody of course, look at the replies here to ‘chatgpt confirms sim theory’)

But then it wouldn’t be a proper simulation for those people being saved. This is the level of historical of a Ridley Scott movie.

Might also want to link the sneerclub thread on it there if you have it handy, I think it explained a few references and things, at least from what I can tell this take is very tongue in cheek, but I do not know enough about the subject to talk about it.

More vibe coding wins in the wild. Soon we will be out of a job here.

I don’t know the guys behind it, just repeating what others have heard. I’d have included a source if I had one sorry.

Small point, but I heard nitter is run by chuds, xcancel is better.

E: I always get clowdstrike and cloudflare confused, which were the ones who protected the nazis again and which ones were the ones who took down the internet for a day? ;) (Ha, the last page even leaves out this incident)

But compared to the anti piracy fines for sharing music from decades ago it is pretty low.

Saw people suggest it was because the judge doesnt want to kill the goose that is laying pyrite eggs.

Iirc he was also on the forbes 30 under 30 list. Making that list more and more a list of people to avoid.

e: https://www.forbes.com/profile/edward-saatchi/ there he is, with the 30 icon. Strangely empty profile.

96% accuracy. So… unusable. That is an extremely high rate of failure.

Imagine how often it triggers on just people talking about hearts of iron 4 alone.

E: read more about it:

we achieved a 94.8% detection rate for nuclear weapons queries and zero false positives

‘zero false positives’ Sure bud.

Only noticed it when I realized I had not closed the tab, but there are several comment under that article telling the author to kill himself. Over a dumb art project.

The more you read the worse it gets. And sadly, no all these manosphere dweebs write like this.

(A lot of them also credit Heartiste, which is why his popularity, enough for Scott to publish the anti-heartiste faq, which he didnt write. Was such a bad sign. (Also the guy is a neo-nazi racist, openly hated black and jewish people)).

Edit: And from Hugos blog: (source: https://profhugodegaris.wordpress.com/masctemp/)

“With a video you get not only the content, but can also see the emotion behind the content. Initially I only put up a video link to YouTube, but since the CEO of YouTube is a Jewish feminazi who censors and even terminates whole masculist and MGTOW video channels”

Look anti-Semitism. The fucker.

Ah yes, im a classical liberal of the style of Locke how he thought about slavery, that kind of classical stuff.

I didnt know anything about him, not even who he was, but DuckDuckGo search suggestions suggested I search for him and mgtow, so the search engine knew. First link shows he isn’t mgtow, he is a masculinist. https://profhugodegaris.wordpress.com/masculisting-the-mgtows/

His wikipage on his beliefs is wild. Legit beliefs skynet or eclipse phases TITANs will attack.

Quote from his site a free book he provides: “MASCULISM : Men’s Rebellion Against Being Manslaves to Women, An e-Textbook of 370+ Masculist Flyers for Men’s Studies Courses””

Manslaves rise up you have nothing to lose but your money in the divorce as half your stuff was hers anyway.
