It wasnt just one like almost all of them were bad. The worst one was a vid where they went ‘they did great things with colors, see how the rebels constantly wear yellow and red clothing to symbolize the fire of the rebellion’ only half the outfits they called orange were just brown, and their supporting arguments on this from things which were said clearly were about other thematicnthings which they missed.

I purged them from my history to try and make the algo stop however.

Unrelated to that, also saw a guy do a deep dive on the themes of a movie (not andor). Only to admit he had only seen the movie once. Which is quite a thing to admit.

Considering the war with Iran (and how some people will just blame anything that goes wrong on AI), this is quite the PR mastermove from Altman.

There cant be a bank run if there is no bank.

I myself unfollowed Masnick a while back because I knew I would eventually push back on some of his shit and it would lead to me getting into stupid timewasting discussions. Nice to see im not the only one annoyed.

The blind leading the blind. Because so many stuff on yt is so bad.

(Recently the algorithm decided I wanted some analysis of Andor. And oof).

Seems like it, before they just used to word ‘innovation’ to do the same thing. A think which drives me mad re dutch politics. (We have a problem that our farms produce to much nitrogen, and instead of doing anything about it our govs keep going ‘we will invest in innovation’, which means nothing. It just pushes the ball forward, and more and more stuff gets shut down because of the nitrogen problems (building buildings for example). But the word innovation polls well and feels proactive).

And while this is very specific to the nitrogen problem, people have been doing this with climate change for decades as well. (see also how AI is replacing the word innovation there).

ourselves why the current state-of-the-art in beginner-friendly programming tools is a planet-boiling roulette wheel.

Thats easy.

it’s more complicated than this, sorry, but this oversimplification is basically true

Wait so it isnt true and it is true? Nice to notice your own confusion/reluctance (yeah im a broken record on the Rationalists not doing Rationalism) Also weird way to teach math. This makes me wonder if he understands math at all l.

Dont these sort of prompt files fail when the llm runs out of tokens/context and it needs to summarize its own history. (Yeah im not using the right terms, you know what I mean).

So we can have the one step for a short nondeterministic moment till you try to do something big.

Im not sure calling the problem trackable is meaningful in anyway. Yud style end of the world AGI stuff is also trackable. Doesnt mean jack shit.

The tech isn’t mature, but neither was the Internet 30 years ago.

Drink!

Before they could ask grok how to stop a process it was already too late.

Not that it mattered as Groks advice to become the reichschancellor actually didnt fix this problem.

Thanks for the deep dive ln stuff that is wrong with it (also the others).

Yeah was quite disappointed by that, also the anthropomorphization of AI by the end.

Article on the Ick generated by AI shit from the perspective of a woman “They Built Stepford AI and Called It “Agentic””, talking about how women adopt it less, and gives a reason why this might be so.

On a personal note (I’m a man for the record), while I normally get the uncanny valley effect a lot less than normal people, I do notice it a lot with AI generated people, really odd experience that. (different ick than described in the article).

Well, just dont use your real name online.

The start with the weird bit against people with mh issues had me on edge already, and when he let all the ‘these things are for women/my ex’ stuff slide, I was not thinking good things of the author.

Note how nobody he talks to seems to be a woman, despite all the techbros talking about women quite often.

(The authors apparent metoo history comes as no shock (I didnt look into that so dont quote me on that)).

Also a little bit of context for the people who know nothing about all this, the O9A is one of those very scary groups, liked to various murders and stuff like that.

Iirc some anti-extremism people used to not mention them a lot as they didnt want them to get more attention by platforming them a little bit and they were scared of drawing their attention personally.

with the right bootstrap instructions and a bit of tools.

Is doing a lot of work

I assume a lot of people are using this moment to do the ‘I never liked him’ hate.

I disagree with Tante on the second article btw. Dont think people drop others on a dime, Inthink it is a slower process where someone you look up to does more and more small things you dislike (or you reread and start to realize you perhaps had a few too rose colored glasses on) and then your opinion turns. (With some exceptions of course, lot of people have a few things they consider red lines, like a lot of leftwingers not being fan of sex crimes, or people on the right not being a fan of treating poc like equals).

E: i do have a hit skeet on bsky saying ‘Guess even Doctorow must eventually enshittify’ hope this didn’t trigger this blog post. (I meant it both as he got worse, but also im using enshittify intentionally wrong cause Cory said a very weird thing about how anti AI was neoliberal purity culture, which I also think is misusing terms).

Yeah not even halfway in and it is just madness. Also not unlikely the Roy guy just made things up.

Guess the author didn’t think of asking about the inconsistencies in the mans story cause they both bonded over disliking unhoused people. (The horrible unhoused people who mumble incoherently vs the chad founder who shouts ‘will you be a cofounder with me?’ at people).
