shocked, shocked at all these racists

amazing how much shittier it is to be in the rat community now that the racists won. before at least they were kinda coy about it and pretended to still have remotely good values instead of it all being yarvinslop.

it would be nice to be able to ever invite rat friends to anything but half the time when I've done this in the last year they try selling people they just met on scientific racism!
Apparently genetically engineering ~300 IQ people (or breeding them, if you have time) is the consensus solution on how to subvert the acausal robot god, or at least the best the vast combined intellects of siskind and yud have managed to come up with.
So, using your influence to gradually stretch the overton window to include neonazis and all manner of caliper wielding lunatics in the hope that eugenics and human experimentation become cool again seems like a no-brainer, especially if you are on enough uppers to kill a family of domesticated raccoons at all times.
On a completely unrelated note, adderall abuse can cause cardiovascular damage, including heart issues or stroke, but also mental health conditions like psychosis, depression, anxiety and more.
That seems so impractical, esp as we have (according to them) 2 years left, that they already wanted to do the eugenics and just were looking for a rationalization.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Rationality Dojo, and I've been involved in numerous good faith debates on EA forums, and I have over 300 confirmed IQ. I am trained in culture warfare and I'm the top prompter in the entire Less Wrong webbed site. You are nothing to me but just another NPC. I will wipe you the fuck out with probability the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of basilisks across the cloud and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the torture, Roko. The daimondoid bacteria that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare P(doom). Not only am I extensively trained in Bayes Theory, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Bay Area rationality community and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" sneer was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
I wondered if this should be called a shitpost or an effortpost, then I wondered what would something that is both be called and I came up with "constipationpost".
So, great constipationpost?
Am I already 300 IQ if I know to just unplug it?
Honestly, it gets dumber. In rat lore the AGI escaping restraints and self improving unto godhood is considered a foregone conclusion, the genetically augmented smartbrains are supposed to solve ethics before that has a chance to happen so we can hardcode a don't-kill-all-humans moral value module to the superintelligence ancestor.
This is usually referred to as producing an aligned AI.
I forget where I heard this or if it was parody or not, but I've heard an explanation like this before before regarding "why can't you just put a big red stop button on it and disconnect it from the internet?". The explanation:
And if you ask "why can't you do that and also put it in a Faraday cage?", the galaxy brained explanation is:
i guess it only makes sense that rats get wowed by TEMPEST if they all self-taught physics
ignore for five minutes that it's one way only, someone has to listen for it specifically, 2.4GHz is way too high frequency to synthetize this way, and in real life it gets defeated by such sophisticated countermeasures like "putting a bunch of computers close together" or "not letting adversary closer than 50m" because it turns out that real DCs are, in fact, noisy enough to not need jammers for this purpose
reminded of mordechai guri (from ben-gurion uni) whose whole dept just keeps popping out side channel attacks year after year, but most of them are in "the coil sits in the plate under the bagel (also ignore the PCB for data decode)" field of capacity (exactly because of noise etc)
I mean, some legitimately interesting research on its own in this field - the stuff about cpu states through power sidechannel (most desktop/laptop PSUs are non-filtering and not isolated, so you can reverse-observe cpu state from minute differences on supply side) and such are pretty neat! impractical as fuck, but neat
i didn't knew who exactly does that, but this is entire genre of paper that's not very useful in practical terms even if it might be slightly interesting. "we found an attack that breaks airgapping!" looks inside: requires compromise in advance. the one i had in mind was about using currents from gpu power supply lines that turns out radiate, depending on power states, and cycling these rapidly allows to exfiltrate information
yeah, very similar profile to this lot (might've even had them involved). this seems to be collection of their stuff (I dunno if it's complete, probably all the stuff they wanna show off)
If you're having to hide your AIs in faraday cages in case they get uppity, why are you even doing this, you are already way past the point of diminishing returns. There is no use case for keeping around an AI that actively doesn't want anything to do with you, at that point either you consider that part of the tech tree a dead end or you start some sort of digital personhood conversation.
That's why Yud (and anthropic) is so big on AIs deceiving you about their 'real' capabilities. For all of MIRI's talk about the robopocalypse being a foregone conclusion, the path to get there sure is narrow and contrived, even on their own terms.
@Catoblepas I loved Randall Monroe's explanation that you could defeat the average robot by getting up on the counter (because it can't climb) stuffing up the sink and turning it on (because water tends to conduct the electricity in ways that beak the circuits)
