They forced the article to be taken down, there are archive links, when im back home (and if I dont forget) ill scroll past my reskeets to find the link.

Yeah sucks as we should be very clear it is visa/mastercard and the terf group influencing them who is to blame.

"An AI? But using that you could find a cure for cancer!"

"But I dont want to make a cure for cancer, i want to generate powerpoint presentations. Look it just made this quarterly_report_june_july_jan.wpd file for me."

Gonna be really fucked if we finally discover that the people doing the actual work were true believers who didnt even get paid well. And all the money went to altman/infrastructure costs. (I could look in financial statements to figure stuff like this out but erug effort).

The rules did not mention the ferryman couldn't use the stargate on each bank. The rules exclude teleporting, vut a stargate works via a different method.

failed my saving throw.

The irony is completely lost on them.

So not only has Yud failed to properly align AI, he also failed to align the AI aligners. Time to burn down the sequences and start over.

The AI is right with how much we know of his life he osnt really dead, the AGI can just simulate hom and resurrect him. Takes another hit from my joint made exclusively out of the sequences book pages

(Rip indeed, what a crazy ride, and he was all aboard).

Followed one of the links which game me a very "is yud ok?" Feeling : https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/PCfaLLtuxes6Jk4S2/fighting-a-rearguard-action-against-the-truth

(Talking about the way it is written not the actual content, which seems to be 'looks like I was wrong, need to rethink some things and check my assumptions' but using thousands of words that make it sound like is having some weird mental episode).

E:

One is Zack Davis documenting endorsement of anti-epistemology ... [Links to articles removed] ... to placate trans ideology even many important transgender Rationality community members overtly reject

Euh ok. Always good when people bring up 'trans ideology'.

Begrudgingly Yeast (@begrudginglyyeast.bsky.social) on bsky informed me that I should read this short story called 'Death and the Gorgon' by Greg Egan as he has a good handle on the subjects/subjects we talk about. We have talked about Greg before on Reddit.

I was glad I did, so going to suggest that more people he do it. The only complaint you can have is that it gives no real 'steelman' airtime to the subjects/subjects it is being negative about. But well, he doesn't have to, he isn't the guardian. Anyway, not going to spoil it, best to just give it a read.

And if you are wondering, did the lesswrongers also read it? Of course: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hx5EkHFH5hGzngZDs/comment-on-death-and-the-gorgon (Warning, spoilers for the story)

(Note im not sure this pdf was intended to be public, I did find it on google, but might not be meant to be accessible this way).

 

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.
