Yeah it is interesting how much the LW space recreates these sorts of ideas from first principles, the combination of overfocus on math, disdain for non-lw experts, disdain for softer sciences, insider hero worship, and contrarianism creates a perfect cult incubator.

All the advertising being for AI stuff us a nice touch.

I have a different hear me out btw, compared to a Musk or Moldbug, I think Jensen pulled off the jacket.

Yeah, I have also been amazed. Like there is so much wrong. (love the 2022 and earlier games on the ‘new releases’ page for example).

Think that would just drive them to incel style rhetoric. With a helping of ‘no you are right to worry, but it doesn’t look like your penis has shrunk sir’ from the bots. (poor third world workers who then have to process that shit. “why are all these people suddenly uploading their penis in grok?”).

Sorry I have to vent, but looks like the humblebundle site did an AI powered redesign as the site (while looking like it works) is now a total mess. I’m a bit in slow motion trainwreck watching mode. Sucks I do have a list of unclaimed keys still at the site which I paid for (some of which are now gone, as in I know I still had a key as I kept a list of some of the keys in a file (I was worried something like this happening for a while) but the keys are no longer in the list of games I got, this is just one of the many many bugs or just plain weird things I noticed (The reddit is filled with people having a lot more complaints, somebody bought a ‘4 for 1, play with your friends’ pack, and only got one key, if you made a ‘gift a key link’ yday the link now is dead, but the game counts as claimed, etc etc).

The UI does have nice rounded corners now however.

E: additional funny moment, so I know people who have subscribed to humble choice (a monthly thing) an basically have forgotten about it, but during the creation of the new site they messed something up and they no longer have the information on file to complete the transaction for that, so a lot of subscriptions will likely auto cancel, what a foot shot).

E2: It also removed 2FA, made it possible to change passwords without the old password, and switch emails without access to the old email. Amazing work.

Lets hope his ex-wife goes the MacKenzie Scott route and starts giving away a lot of the money to charitable causes.

(I heard even with all the charity her net worth still increased, holy shit the deck is stacked against poor people).

Nevermind my suggestion, of course they also use AI shit now.

If AI will not come closer to AGI, the definition of AGI will come closer to AI.

I was send this picture and thought some of you would get a laugh out of it.

Sure seems that AI usage more and more has the stink of ‘you can trust people who use this at all’.

Unrelated to that this is also very odd:

Then, we were able to speak directly to an engineer at Unity, who asked around and ultimately concluded that what we wanted wasn’t possible.

Broke: “it is AGI when it makes A BILLION DOLLARS”

Woke: “it is AGI when it does a ted talk”

Like how they drifted into a discussion of free will instantly.

The coding stuff is going to be fun, if what I heard about the coding bots having reached their maximum (and ai companies now moving to other fields to build specialized models for (which fits my prediction that they wouldn’t build AGI and all the ‘gains’ would be more and more unwieldy specializes modules/models. Like the ‘correctly count the r’s in strawberry’ one)).

Yeah, coding guides are everywhere (or used to be at least, more and more seem to be shutting down due to declining sales + increased costs due to scraping).

Never saw anybody offer a link to a guide like that.

Hell coding has Become a Programmer, Motherfucker which isn’t just one guide, but an entire list of guides, and it even uses (old but checks out) meme to diversify itself from other people offering the same.

(I checked, the guy, despite still being on twitter, is still doing his thing trying to help people to learn how to code, his stance on AI wasn’t totally clear after a short glance, he is however a gamer angry about bad UI implementations (I can totally relate)).

Good point, had not thought about that. And that makes, in a way stuff even worse, as when it goes wrong people go all ‘skill issue’ despite the systems being designed and marketed for full cognitive surrender.

that making a Harry Potter x Star Wars crossover with a genderbent character

And evil characters they claimed were right even. This is just ‘hitler did nothing wrong’ with extra steps.

That should cause an issue like this I assume.

Should have taken the effort to type ‘shutdown -r now’ yourself.

Prob even quicker than asking an llm.

From my cold RSI hands!
