Epistemic status: All of the western canon must eventually be re-invented in a LessWrong post. So today we are re-inventing federalism.
Is this self-parody?
If there were any doubts before this incident that Sam Altman is a sociopath, there can be none now.
Sounds like your typical commenter on a lesswrong or Astral Codex Ten blog post.
One can hope. But given how long she’s been a part of this milieu (her social circles are made of up of people like Razib Khan and Curtis Yarvin), I doubt it.
15·11 天前Every day, HN users flag into oblivion anything mildly critical of the technological dystopia these tech-bros are trying to manifest. “Politics!” they cry. But Sam Altman comes along with an OpenAI marketing piece dressed up as a condemnation of political violence, and suddenly “politics” are a perfectly acceptable topic. dang has long made it clear whose side he’s on.
Oh, and I hope everyone noted how quickly Sam used this incident as an excuse to place blame on the reporters who published the New Yorker piece that was mildly critical of him:
Words have power too. There was an incendiary article about me a few days ago. Someone said to me yesterday they thought it was coming at a time of great anxiety about AI and that it made things more dangerous for me. I brushed it aside.
Sorry, I meant the backstory on her removal from CEP. As far as I can tell, she’s sort of disappeared from the Internet since her removal.
He really is insufferable, isn’t he?
I’m surprised at how they’ve practically erased her from the site. Do you have any idea what the back-story is? I assume there must have been some sort of falling out. Perhaps her proximity to Curtis Yarvin was more than Trace could take (see: pictures of her at Yarvin’s wedding).
Depending on your DNS provider, you may not be able to use archive.today without infinite captchas. I believe Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and NextDNS are affected this way. Google (8.8.8.8) apparently is not.
Looks like they’re using the standard blue/orange color scheme
Fake journalist with AI slop avatar and slop credentials starts rising in Substack’s “politics” rankings, someone asks the Substack CEO what they’re going to do about it, and gets told to pound sand.
Shhh, don’t tell him.
It is a much cheaper and quicker means of murdering a bunch of astronauts though, so it does have that going for it.
There’s also a better chance that Elon exits the planet sooner.
The Joscha Bach Substack article is a strange mix of self-pity, JAQing off, and eugenics. He compares Namibian babies he saw in a documentary to great apes in terms of their childhood development, cites studies showing lower cognitive ability among African American children, and then gets all emotional over the fact that people might think he’s a bit of a racist.
AI attracts so many racists – especially the kind who can’t tell that they’re racist. I guess it’s inevitable for any field of study that includes the word 'intelligence" in its name.
Bay Area rationalist Sam Kirchner, cofounder of the Berkeley “Stop AI” group, claims “nonviolence isn’t working anymore” and goes off the grid. Hasn’t been heard from in weeks.
Article has some quotes from Emile Torres.
Habryka’s all, “Dammit, why do you have to come here and remind everyone where the Zizians came from?”
