and actually use an AI that cites it’s sources

make the hallucinotron useful with this one weird trick

Zitron catching strays in the comments for having too much of a bullying tone, I guess against billionaires and tech writers, and being too insistent on his opinion that the whole thing makes no financial sense. It's also lamented that the entire field of ML avoids bsky because it has a huge AI hostility problem.

Concern trolling notwithstanding, the eigenrobot stuff is worrisome though, if not specifically for him about how extremely online the ideological core of the administration seems to be, as close to the lunatics running the asylum as you'll get in a modern political setting.

Micrsosoft will be adding numbers on total meetings summarised, total hours summarised, and various classes of prompts.

So the manager types are also affected? This might be interesting.

Governments are toppled, not opted out of, is all I'm saying.

Also not sure I agree that all consumer activism is inherently in vain.

This wasn't a pro-spotify post, it was a your government isn't something you can just boycott away post.

Like, your taxes are already paying for ICE directly.

I feel that if you are an USian who thinks that accepting US government contracts has become morally incorrect then fretting over swedish audio streaming companies is a waste of your time.

edit: That's not the alluded Yud's solution btw

edit edit:

I still wouldn't be all that tempted in his place, if pedophilia is merely a positive description. There's little advantage in not being a pedophile.

Man rationalists from back when they didn't worry about being youtube-ready were something else.

The reflective altruism guy has an ongoing series on hbd in the rat community that includes a bunch of that, you should check him out.

That's easy, it's because LLM output is a reasonable simulation of sounding like a person. Fooling people's consciousness detector is just about their whole thing at this point.

Crabs should look into learning to recite the pledge of allegiance in the style of Lady GaGa.

Airlock can be a verb.

Don't worry about it, managing to run inference on a raspberry is really cool actually.

Also it's true that Zitron is winging it a lot of the time when it comes to technical details, but not in a way that matters for what he has to say, so dismissing him on those grounds seemed deliberately adversarial, sorry if i got carried away.
