  • McKenzie has got to be one of the worst writers I've ever come across.

    <thousands of words of blather>

    We will return to the other reason in a moment.

    <thousands of words of blather>

    We return from this flight of fancy to the indictment.

    <thousands of words of blather>

    Why? We’ll return to it in a minute.

    I didn't make it to the end, because I'm not going to waste that much time reading tens of thousands of words of fascist-supporting bullshit.

  • You and me both. The deluge of shitty AI slop code is never-ending. Unfortunately, software companies are going to have to start going under before anything gets done about it.

  • You thought software quality was poor before LLMs? You ain't seen nothing yet.

    Typical mentality on the orange site:

    I don't think I've read a single line of code I've shipped in over 6 months.

  • The back-and-forth between Gwen and LessWrong commenters is getting spicy. This definitely deserves a top-level post on SneerClub.

  • Habryka's all, "Dammit, why do you have to come here and remind everyone where the Zizians came from?"

    EDIT: This person also seems to have no concept of the finality of death, which might explain why the Zizians were so murdery.

  • Epistemic status: All of the western canon must eventually be re-invented in a LessWrong post. So today we are re-inventing federalism.

    Is this self-parody?

  • If there were any doubts before this incident that Sam Altman is a sociopath, there can be none now.

  • Sounds like your typical commenter on a lesswrong or Astral Codex Ten blog post.

  • One can hope. But given how long she's been a part of this milieu (her social circles are made of up of people like Razib Khan and Curtis Yarvin), I doubt it.

  • Every day, HN users flag into oblivion anything mildly critical of the technological dystopia these tech-bros are trying to manifest. "Politics!" they cry. But Sam Altman comes along with an OpenAI marketing piece dressed up as a condemnation of political violence, and suddenly "politics" are a perfectly acceptable topic. dang has long made it clear whose side he's on.

    Oh, and I hope everyone noted how quickly Sam used this incident as an excuse to place blame on the reporters who published the New Yorker piece that was mildly critical of him:

    Words have power too. There was an incendiary article about me a few days ago. Someone said to me yesterday they thought it was coming at a time of great anxiety about AI and that it made things more dangerous for me. I brushed it aside.

  • Sorry, I meant the backstory on her removal from CEP. As far as I can tell, she's sort of disappeared from the Internet since her removal.

  • He really is insufferable, isn't he?

  • I'm surprised at how they've practically erased her from the site. Do you have any idea what the back-story is? I assume there must have been some sort of falling out. Perhaps her proximity to Curtis Yarvin was more than Trace could take (see: pictures of her at Yarvin's wedding).

  • Depending on your DNS provider, you may not be able to use archive.today without infinite captchas. I believe Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and NextDNS are affected this way. Google (8.8.8.8) apparently is not.

    Since age 12, SBF was a dedicated utilitarian, mommy says. It's not fair to imprison him for life.
