Did they try to add a bell curve in a place where it shouldn’t be te last image? Im fascinated by how little sense it makes, and by how bad the adding a groupthink axis is.

The url manipulation trick doesnt work for you?

E: this I mean, somebody even made a site for it. My own setup is weird and I have ancient strange habits so I just added it to my search bookmark.

Elsevier doing some AI

"So, [Elsevier] added an AI question and answer to my article in Computer & Education.

The answers are wrong! They did not ask permission! The answers are WRONG!

How is this science?!"

Not dating your press releases on your own site is a choice. (Lot more places do this and it is driving me slowly mad) So, did they drop this yday? Some weird schrodingers april fools joke deflection attempt?

[This is what tankies actually believe!!2!one!!!]

Finally Tim Pool will get what is wrong with AI

Finally a ‘to the moon’ you can trust.

I had not heard from it and is all sounds quite bad.

Lol the guy has gotten dragged by everybody so hard for his AI stances a while back, that he now has to double down and call AI superior. Meanwhile on Yt there is now a group of people who pay rent just making ‘this guy stinks’ videos.

E: The ratio on the replies/qt/likes oof. (Also, lol in his ‘you have already lost, I drew myself as the chad and you as the soyjak’ image he drew himself as a group of children). E2: sorry closed it

liked the manic energy at the start (and lol at Strange not sharing his full history (like the extropian list stuff, and a much more), like not mentioning it is fine, the scene is set), and Chekovs fedora at the start.

Dropshippers trying to profit out of his popularity/infamy.

there were too many office politics involved and not enough common sense

Did my spider sense just tingle? Think the US might be in a bit of danger. Esp with the bit of “burn the boats” tendency this all seems to have.

Nice touch that the sister animation person is the backup emergency generator in the first one.

I’m just amazed they take the artstyle but nothing of the magical whimsy and wonder Studio Ghibli movies have and call it the same. A cartoon picture of Joe Rogan doesn’t come close to anything from Studio Ghibli. Talking about missing the point. It is almost enough to start believing in souls.

“vc-chan”

Thats just chefskiss

Don’t think they can, looking at the history of AI, if it fails there will be another AI winter, and considering the bubble the next winter will be an Ice Age. No minduploads for anybody, the dead stay dead, and all time is wasted. Don’t think that is going to be psychologically healthy as a realization, it will be like the people who suddenly realize Qanon is a lie and they alienated everybody in their lives because they got tricked.

All praise the Omnissiah

(from the comments).

It felt odd to read that and think “this isn’t directed toward me, I could skip if I wanted to”. Like I don’t know how to articulate the feeling, but it’s an odd “woah text-not-for-humans is going to become more common isn’t it”. Just feels strange to be left behind.

Yeah, euh, congrats in realizing something that a lot of people already know for a long time now. Not only is there text specifically generated to try and poison LLM results (see the whole ‘turns out a lot of pro russian disinformation now is in LLMs because they spammed the internet to poison LLMs’ story, but also reply bots for SEO google spamming). Welcome to the 2010s LW. The paperclip maximizers are already here.

The only reason this felt weird to them is because they look at the whole ‘coming AGI god’ idea with some quasi-religious awe.

Remember, cleaning up oilspills is good for the GDP.

At least he is using LLMs to blast away what is left of his critical thinking skills. If the effect is real he will be a vegetable in a week.
