today’s least surprising news: substack’s coterie of totally-not-nazis fucking love AI https://on.substack.com/p/the-substack-ai-report

Convenience is king, and never mind accuracy.

look, i didn’t say liar,

Transformers do way better transcription, buuuuuut yeah you gotta check it

even the Nazis can’t stand these fucks

because they cribbed their ideas from deathnote, and they’re stupid

oh yeah that was obvious when you see who they are and what they do. also, one of the large opensource projects was the lesswrong site lololol

i’m surprised it’s as well constructed a study as it is even given that

wonder if that’s why they tried and failed to change it to “squiggle maximizing”

the comments are wild “yes good post having my brain taken over by a superintelligent autocomplete is a reasonable concern”

it should be, but he’s been actively promoting the stuff

all the stock sites are. use case: an image that’s almost perfect but you wanna tweak it

LEARN PAINT YOU GHOULS

you should be read up on the gospel of @fasterandworse never shutting up about “Hooked”

the psychology of loot boxes?

yep! https://awful.systems/post/4568900

the book is “Hooked” and it’s Don’t Build The Torment Nexus I’m Now Providing You A Detailed Blueprint Of

AI->cocaine filter: Cocaine isn’t going to replace you. Someone using cocaine is going to replace you.

these are stock images! Which are surprisingly cheap. By Valeriy Kachaev, who puts stuff up as Studiostoks on a pile of stock image sites. His pics are bizarre and keep being the perfect thing.

ahahaha holy shit. I knew METR smelled a bit like AI doomsday cultists and took money from OpenPhil, but those “open source” projects and engineers? One of them was LessWrong.

Here’s a LW site dev whining about the study, he was in it and i think he thinks it was unfair to AI

I think if people are citing in another 3 months time, they’ll be making a mistake

dude $NEXT_VERSION will be so cool

so anyway, this study has gone mainstream! It was on CNBC! I urge you not to watch that unless you have a yearning need to know what the normies are hearing about this shit. In summary, they are hearing that AI coding isn’t all that actually and may not do what the captains of industry want.

around 2:30 the two talking heads ran out of information and just started incorrecting each other on the fabulous AI future, like the worst work lunchroom debate ever but it’s about AI becoming superhuman

the key takeaway for the non techie businessmen and investors who take CNBC seriously ever: the bubble starts not going so great

this is not debate club, per the sidebar
