Our previous gov in .nl also tried to oush nuclear, but first they had to do a location study (which have already been done in the past, and for some added hilarity, our incompetent farmers party didn’t know you needed rivers near those plants), but even if those were really redone and not just a stalling tactic, they already couldn’t find a company willing to build one.

And after our gov fell we are all back to square one now. Esp as I think forming a new gov will take forever again. Esp with the rightward shift of so many parties. (Our labour green party and our center right (but people think they are center left) party are now considered far left)

Yeah, I was just trying to make a joke about how explosives are overkill (and point out that the billionare bunkers are prob not as secure as they would hope (still mad about them building bunkers instead of you know doing anything positive)), not really trying to make a real plan to stop them.

And tbh, we know what to do with malicious datacenters, esp if they are in bunkers, the Dutch/German police has gone after a few of them. The trick is to wait till their MDMA lab catches fire, and then you arrest them.

Yud as Modok

I saw (because for some reason grokipedia is now high in google search) that grok calls Roko (from rokos basilisk) pseudo anonymous, but isnt he just using full name and face on twitter? Such a weird small error (and change to the Wikipedia page). Didnt click the link obv.

He will train a neural network on GM games, then memorize the algorithm and compute the moves in his head.

The Rationalists.

Think just blocking off the air vents would also work. Same thing with billionaire bunkers, block the airvents, weld the doors shut.

Lol check how bad openai is doing (also so much grok ow god this will end up horrible) https://openrouter.ai/rankings. In public transport atm so dont have much time for a bigger look but interesting if somebody would put this next to valuations (also not deepseek which nobody seems to talk about anymore, dont think the pivot to ‘roleplay’ will work for openai)

The site is clearly vibe coded as it runs like ass on my phone

Did he? I wasn’t aware, or have already forgotten. Searched on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/cwdgnp/miri_among_the_groups_that_received_money_from/ and indeed. Must have missed that.

The new scientist article gave me a white page (after loading for a second so prob some anti adblocker shit, so here is an archive link). The money given is around the same time as Yud wrote the sparkling ceos bit, now im wondering where he met those ceos.

Not a shock to anybody, but Thiel partied with Epstein. Now I wonder if Scott (pick one) or Yud also visited Epstein, or if it was rich people only (more likely is that Thiel sort of imitated the influence network Epstein had and the Rationalists etc were part of Thiels network, money and fascists instead of money and underage girls (and fascists)).

Rationalism described as a cult incubator

I see my idea is spreading. (I doubt im the only one who came up with that, but I have mentioned it a few times, it fits if you know about the silicon valley tech incubator management ideas).

Yes we do. Lot of Canadians gave their lives for our liberation. (not just Canadians, which is why the Trump admin removing the sign about the Black Americans at the American WW2 burial ground here has not gone over well, but also the French gave a heroic defense of Zeeland at the start of the war, and the Brits, and the Polish (they got the blame for the failure of market garden for some stupid reasons, but they jumped late even when the operation wasn’t going well, after being stalled due to the weather)).

Geweldig!

Not a scream just a nice thing people might enjoy. Somebody made a funny comic about what we all are thinking about

Random screenshot which I found particularly funny (Zijn rant klopt):

Indeed, we also don’t have an attribute called friendship, nor does money have a value attribute or stuff like that. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It shows a total lack of understanding of what people are talking and arguing about, just what looks like a very dumb attempt at a gotcha, while butting into a conversation that has been had for years now (which isn’t even about him).

Time to derail conversations about computers by saying you don’t believe in digital ones and zeros because of the volt values are not one or zero. I’m reminded of Dawkins book where he magics away altruism by redefining the word away.

Yeah, im saying that for laymen the term edge is vague, and that it is explained by the context of the piece. I’m complaining about the industries weird jargon, and how easily it slips into everyday usage.

And then you hear people say stuff like: “Just put your logs into splork so you can look at the seim (which people pronounce as seam)”.

Also where they keep the warp engine and the zero point energy generators. Wake up sheeple.

‘I don’t believe people have an attribute called gender’

That must be one of the more dumber things I have read in a while.

Think that is in part intentional so people don’t start squabbling over what does and doesn’t count as ‘the edge’ in edge cases, as it also quite depends on the setup of the organization/people you are talking about. But yeah it is badly defined, which is also why I noticed it.
