(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.

Yeah, they kid proofed the LLM or something (I didn't do that much digging, I just scrolled past some of their comments) and his reaction was, not literally mind you, fuck them kids.

Astrologers do strange discovery, a planetary system where all the planets seem to be made out of a strange liquid.

Horny LWer: slams table I warned ya! I warned y'all, but did ye listen?

I'd assume in the fuckbot fantasy it cleans itself, and folds your laundry, and tells you did a good job. And hell, it also flies, fights aliens, makes fuck everybody money, and can go faster than the speed of light.

Fun story, so on reddit I got a reply on a 4 year old 'AGI is prob not going to happen' post of mine of somebody going 'has your mind changed now?' (and yes, I think it is prob less likely), and while I was amused at the start already (the only reason to ask that question is to think my mind has changed, are impressed by the LLMs ability to go AGI, which means you don't get what I think about it), then I checked their profile (their username already was sus to me). A hardcore redpiller who now spends their time being mad their LLM chatbot no longer accepts erotic chats.

Which is to say, the tabloid got the gender wrong, but only because some men don't get that women are people.

I have been achtually it was a stately homed, and stand corrected my bad people. I will start to drill oil to give.

Yeah, find odd how people dont seem to get that this llm stuff makes AGI less likely, not more. We put all the money, comute, and data in it, this branch does not lead to AGI.

Our local pro entertainment industry lobby group (the kind of group who gets thepiratebay blocked, Brein) is already succesfully going after smaller LLMs and datasets created by (and made freely available) over enthousiastic amateurs/hobbyist which breach copyright.

This might seem like a positive thing, but I doubt they will have the willpower/power/desire to go after the big ones. (And even then not sure they are the good guys here).

That 'uses an iq chart from a tabloid mag' thread reminded me how bad the Lw Rationalists are at Lw Rationality. It is supposed to help you be less biassed, but nope first google hit from a bad source and almost zero community pushback, because it confirms their bias about IQ, and the relative value of fields.

Wonder if it would be more 'die regeln sind die regeln', but my German is quite poor. I can understand it a little bit, but can't really speak it.
