Now we need to make a logic puzzle involving two people and one cup. Perhaps they are trying to share a drink equitably. Each time they drink one third of remaining cup’s volume.
Step one: Drink two-thirds of the cup's volume
Step two: Piss one sixth of the cup's volume
Problem solved
Two ferrymen and three boats are on the left bank of a river. Each boat holds exactly one man. How can they get both men and all three boats to the right bank?
Officially, you can't. Unofficially, just have one of the ferrymen tow a boat.

It is technically correct to call Yud a "renowned AI researcher", but saying someone's renowned in a pseudoscience such as AI is hardly singing their praises.
Personally, my money's on them being thoroughly lost in the AI safety sauce - the idea of AI going rogue has been a staple in pop culture for quite a long time (TV Tropes lists a lot of examples), and the relentless anthropomorphisation of LLMs makes it pretty easy to frame whatever fuck-ups they make as a sentient AI pulling malicious shit.
And given man's long and storied history of manipulating and misleading their fellow man, I can see plenty of opportunity for fuck-ups baked directly into your average LLM's training data.
And less time than her partner-in-crime, who went out of his way to show a complete lack of remorse and a strong willingness to reoffend, all whilst lying out his ass to basically everyone.
Honestly, SBF's antics probably helped make Ellison look like her role in this was much smaller than it actually was
oh yeah she got two years’ jail for her part in stealing eleven fucking billion with a B dollars
A slap on the wrist compared to Sam Bankman-Fried's twenty-five years. Turns out working with the feds, admitting your guilt and knowing when to fold 'em are pretty important when karma finally catches up with you.
or is there some weird-ass chess proxy-fixation among the rats that I have thus far been blessedly unaware of?
Gonna take a shot in the dark and say the fixation's from viewing chess more as an IQ showcase than as a game.
Do you really think "cult" is a useful category/descriptor here?
My view: things identified as "cults" have a bunch of good traits. EA should, where possible, adopt the good traits and reject the bad ones, and ignore whether they're associated with the label "cult" or not.
I'd bet good money any judge reading this is gonna go "Yep, this kid does not want to change" and ramp up the sentence as a result.
As the cherry on top of this shit sundae, the bubble caused by said hype dealt devastating damage to the Internet and the world at large in spite of failing to create the unaligned AGI Yud was doomsaying about, and made people more vulnerable to falling for the plagiarism-fueled lying machines behind said bubble.
