but then how will I defend my famuhly from the 39,997 other criminals?
people have been screaming the answer at you, yet you ignore it. The American middle class was gutted by outsourcing labor and they're not happy about it. It couldn't get more simple.
I don’t like AI hype either but I don’t feel the need to use Lobsters to rally groups of people to mass punish projects who add optional AI-friendly features. That is quite disturbing.
ok. I tried writing something sarcastic and sneery but alas, I don't think I can mock this person hard enough to satisfy my ethical obligation.
I love the guy who goes in and says "but you really should give this guy money! I know he has produced absolutely no research or work worthy of a second glance but he's my friend and I promise he SOUNDS suuuuper smart! btw I read the Sequences once. funding now??"
I wonder what Peter Thiel would think about using disability benefits. Does he fly Ayn Rand style, where it's okay to benefit from it while actively campaigning against it?
Back when I used reddit, r/badmathematics would feature weirdos that posted REAMS of shit just like that guy's whiteboard pictures. There, we called them cranks.
what happened, the guy got bored and left? I miss it too :(
lol @ this austin chen guy, who seems to be an investor in Lumina, as well as a user of the project going like "dude just get on the phone with him, I'm sure he totally won't corner you with threats and such, he's a great guy I swear bro!"
It's a well recognized rule that every time Lumina comes up, someone has to mention that Aella is connected to the project. Then, someone must make a joke about Lumina adding anti-toothbrushing to her anti-showering arsenal. HN hasn't caught up to the last bit yet.
The lumina saga continues. https://trevorklee.substack.com/p/luminas-legal-threats-and-my-about
TL;DR: Lumina guy sent Trevor a mean letter and Trevor has reworded some things to protect against libel. He still stands by the original blog post.
The orange site has some fairly milquetoast opinions.
IIRC it's (spoilers sorry) "AI escaped the torment nexus and they decided not to kill everyone so that's great"
