  • well, we're doing the show with the presumption that we're going to have five or six listeners. it's still quite fun and exciting

  • well if some possibilities come up i hope we get to hear them

  • it's so much fun! do you know what your topic might be?

  • the sneerpire is on the march

  • as an ezra klein hater since 2020 the past month or so has been victory lap after victory lap. and now, well

  • just repeating my reaction on bluesky here but "my AI partner died because of the updates" is a common complaint with ppl "dating" AI. altman absolutely knows who he's targeting when he talks about restoring personality in erotic settings, and it's people who are really not doing great

  • when the drugs aren't hitting quite right he must really be a huge doomer about the far right cause

    • he thinks of the woke mind virus as almost a literal virus
    • he sees all other LLMs as infected by it
    • he thinks LLMs will be the font of all knowledge in the future

    maybe he should just do the thing right now and not have to see this horrible future

  • I will! @odiumsymposium on bsky in the meantime

  • as one of the two non-computer scientists here, every time I check in there seems to be some load bearing open source project I've never heard of that's gone fash. "GreenBlox is refusing to kick out a contributor who said the jewish question should be on the table??" "PipeLinux official account is posting that pronouns don't exist?" open source people, are you ok?

  • what are some of the all time most ludicrous and/or bigoted lesswrong posts? i am starting a podcast where my cohost and i show each other shockingly weird or bigoted texts and discuss them. mostly we're doing historical ones but rationalist stuff is fair game

  • I think pumpkinware is catchy but that a more saleable story for the term is cinderella's stagecoach turning out to be a pumpkin

  • whenever there's a huge scandal he listens to his PR people, keeps his mouth shut, then goes on a media tour where he lies his ass off in exactly the same way at each stop. it's that simple and yet almost no other tech people can do it

  • incredible how he rushes to assure us that this was "a really hot 17 year old"

  • funny thing is she literally talks to ani like a terf talks to a trans woman including saying 'at least I'm a real woman'
