Holy shit that is amazing. The thinnest skins. All of this over the promise by God not to flood the world again.

The bikeshed should be RED!

Looked at Grummz twitter, and looks like Notch is also getting involved. With friends like that.

Amazing how this new crop of outrage merchants who touched some game code in the past make Derek Smart look measured and well balanced.

I have no idea what set the drama off btw, I have not really looked into it (could it be that this mod you are talking about was the unofficial mod the godot communication was talking about? Or is that a different mod? And did the redot (wait, re.? please tell me it isn't a reference to the reeeee thing) people really pick the side of the n-word mod?)

I did see that the guy who started redot basically only forked it and then went 'any devs wanna take over this fork?' Very I started the wiki, without even starting a wiki.

Small FYI, not a sneer or anything, you can stop reading if you don't know what the godotengine is. But if you do and hear of the fork, you can just ignore the fork. (the people involved also seem to be rather iffy, one guy who went crazy after somebody mentioned they would like gay relationships in his game, and some maga conspiracy theory style coder. That is going by the 3 normal people the account follows (out of 5) who I assume are behind it).

The type of guy who was totally convinced by the 'but what if the AI needs to generate slurs to stop the nukes?' argument.

I'm afraid for that, as I fear you would see a lot of laughing people. The emperor knows he is naked, but he still is emperor and he sees the people pretend he has clothes. The people of the court also know the emperor is naked, but he is the emperor and they will go along with his wishes. What are they going to do? Quit?

LSD powered mega-erections, all thanks to LSD (and the blood of my sons).

You think capitalists would do that? Go in front of the government and tell lies?

E: this is also my feeling about Altman saying 'I did drugs and I changed bro'.

 

The interview itself

Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

"No, I can't wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I'm too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can't you wash them?"

Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.

Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).

In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.

Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.
