Wait, late realization. So, if we are doing this, does this mean Moldbug is now on the side of the SJWs regarding the slave/master debate in regards to hardware? It is after all, literal slavery now, NRx: if these words and your logic don’t mean what they mean, what do they mean?

(Don't take this as me being anti renaming the slave/master shit).

Did he just pull a "according to the dictionary"? Sorry Moldbug, you just are radically uncool no matter how many leather jackets you get.

fascinating

Nooo run! Beware the lure of the abyss that is learning more about this stuff. Remember you cannot unlearn things!

That doesn't matter, they still are the 'clueless' AI doomers vs the 'sociopathic' Altman (doubt much 'losers' work there). (I'm using these terms here specifically like how the insight porn ribbonfarm thing did. And I mean it as a joke, ribbonfarm is part of their insight blog culture, they just don't actually learn much from the things they read).

To explain, the clueless believe in the work the company is doing and will work hard without really looking at advancing their own career, they are the true believers (they still can be real life sociopaths, if they work for the art in the woodchipper company for example). The sociopaths are the ones who are in it to improve their own career will fuck over and abuse the clueless for their own advancement/enrichment. Losers know it is just a job, a paycheck, they do their job nothing more and go home, have a family, hobbies, touch grass, live a rich full life. There I saved you a novel length of blog posts (im not kidding btw, the ebook (sold on amazon of course) is 171 pages).

All of this could have been prevented if the Rationalists has just read the insight porn article in ribbonfarm about sociopaths etc in the workplace. ;)

To steal and butcher Davids/Buttcoins (no idea who came up with it) slogan. 'they are explaining it wrong, but no they can't be that stupid right?'

I have not read the article yet, but isn't part of the whole accellerationism thing that you accelerate the decline of the current system so your glorious new system can arise (because it is obviously better). Seems to me like it is the same stuff, they just disagree which faction will prevail after the fall.

E: amazing they only now realize they cant galt gulch it out, and that they are part of the world. Damn evil Ents, this is why your wives left you.

Yeah their site is so badly coded it happens to me at times as well. Which says a lot of things.

This reminds me of how allround crazy person Scott Adams also claimed he successfully predicted Trumps first win. But he didnt. He predicted a landslide win, and not him losing the popular vote. That last part people forget when they claim he predicted it correctly. Figure kot of that going on here with the Rationalists claims. Predictions like this are easy to go 'well it didnt happen for the reasons I thought and also did not happen totally as i said it would, but I still got it correctly'. Esp as they want to be superpredictors. (And yes we also do it, but we are not a group who pretends to be anti bias rational trained supernerds as a larger project).

I'm happy to see you fully commit to acausal theory here.

Having a large list of people who will not be attending but making it look like they might seems a bit fraudulent to me.

E: "and now our special guest, you know him from your comment sections Steve Sailer!"

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.
