Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

somebody had to do the design + layout for that banner. i wonder what was going through their head then.
"I should start the Butlerian Jihad"
Wonder if the sinister look was demanded by the clients or the person doing the design.
Incorporating into your workflow a company that is a shell around other companies that are selling their products at a loss with no path to profitability seems like quite an unacceptable business risk to me. But I dont get paid the big bux
as long as you can mark it up and as long as the charade lasts, and as long as there's someone willing to pay, this will make money. when spicy autocomplete provider collapses just pack your bags and leave
@fullsquare @Soyweiser "I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook, and by gum, it put them on the map!"
I think when you have integrated all this into your workflows doing that and going back might be hard esp on the enterprise level.
For the enterprise using it, yes. For the enterprise selling it, probably not so much.
apparently a complete archive of scott siskind's old livejournal. found on the EA forum no less. https://archive.fo/fCFQx
The kokotajlo/scoot thing apparently made it to the new york times.
So this is what that was about:
stubsack post from two months ago
On slightly more relevant news the main post is scoot asking if anyone can put him in contact with someone from a major news publication so he can pitch an op-ed by a notable ex-OpenAI researcher that will be ghost-written by him (meaning siskind) on the subject of how they (the ex researcher) opened a forecast market that predicts ASI by the end of Trump’s term, so be on the lookout for that when it materializes I guess.
edit: also @gerikson is apparently a superforcaster
missed that at the time, but you'd think scoot would have an easy time finding a contact at a major publication like the NYT...
Check out the by-line. Big surprise!
Spooks as a service
when you say "made it", i think FUCKING ROOSE

tesla: "your car is not your car and we have deep, varied firmware and systems access to it on a permanent basis. we can see you and control you at all times. piss us off and we'll turn off the car that we own."
also tesla: "sorry no you can't return it"
I wonder how often Musk fires employees who explain to him that, no using tesla cars for distributed computing is a bad idea and we should stop working on this.

Hopefully no one will actually get these images tattooed on their body.
