“we set up a pocket universe for our toy robot to run in, looped it a few billions times, and you wouldn’t believe what ways it found to fuck with the rules! we’re ever so shocked! :o” is a going staple in ML agent research for years now, these people are a parody upon themselves
remember that “agents in a physics sim” shit a few years ago (both early goog and openai, I think)? that strain of nonsense
also lol @ the pure Ronald Reagan energy of going “yep obviously drugs just make you murderously insane”
always think of this (which is just multiple kinds of amazing in the current day; that it keeps getting used as a sample in dance tracks is just even better)
what I appreciate (inasfar as something to laugh at) is that when this is pointed out they double down like it's their life savings riding on the game
imagine our drivebys reading the description for the place they ~~drop one out~~ post in
difficulty: impossible
I never hated my parents. They said they loved me, and the cultural wisdom of the science-fictional literature said your parents genuinely love you no matter what you disagree about
"it is said that learning from others is wisdom. but those piddly people around you, pah, what could they know? I shall instead go right to the source, the many works of ~~entertainment~~ ~~idea-exploration~~ ~~drug binge output~~ fine, detailed, highly-accurate scifi literature that man has produced in checks notes the two or three decades that have preceded my birth. for I am yud, and I am very clever!"
literal brigading
hopefully this gets shut down hard at all the places they try to fuck with. we've already had 2 cases too many of jonringer this year
it's also definitely the sort of shit you see in some midmarket airbnb's (because it's in design/pinterest/etc magazines)
my near-completely data-less guess: frozen in 2020 among many other things that year that had sudden stoppages, no clear reason to get unfrozen after that, and then when their ties and batshit ideas got a bit too popular recently it became easy to drop them like a rock
I feel this post is unclear
I'd watch this livestream
Maybe he’s having an Interaction with The Law and finding out that it isn’t in fact some perfectly rational sphere of uniform distribution but is in fact made of (gasp, horror, revulsion) human experience
He strikes me as exactly the kind of person that’d vaguepost tangentially instead of saying “hmm well fuck, I’m getting sued”. At least until waaaaaay down the line
(this is conjecture, of course, just to be clear)
a fairly sizable chunk of everything, generally.
