also, just ito "things to pick by which to point out dirtrag as a Shining Beacon", it's pretty fucking out there

probably but it isn't one I've come across (in this form), thus my surprise

"embracing cognitive bias" in the "hell yeah I'm down for quadrupling stakes! BRING OUT THE ADDERALL*" sense

(* otherwhere it'd be blackjack, hookers, and blow. but these nerds would get thrown out of such smokey rooms fairly immediately - if they ever even got in)

Good god, that certainty. And only 56 betters? lol.

it really fucking was

literal fucking neonazi identifiers in post history, comes into our house, and then claims us to act like nazis. clever!

now now, them dropping the umlaut was totally because of brand confusion. it had nothing to do with the roots of the company servicing those wanting to be above the poors and putting that on the sign! what a ludicrous suggestion

because I build things (which entails signing up for a service that someone else built)

fucking THIS

I am so immensely fucking tired of seeing "I built an AI to do $x" posts that all fucking reduce to 1) "I strapped a custom input to the openai api (whose inputs and execution I can't control nor reproduce reliably. I am very smart.)", 2) a bad low-scope shitty-amounts-of-training hyperspecific toy model that solves only their exact 5 requirements (and basically nothing else, so if you even squint at it it'll fall apart)

basilisk save us from the moronicity

Ooh, there’s an idea. Train a LLM on his logorrhoea, output to a variety of places (as often with his face on a profile as not), and watch the little man twist himself up as he tries to position being okay with it while also really hating that it’s happening

nytpitchbot: first we had breadtube, now this ~~wingnut~~ thought leader wants to make people aware of breadsexuals

I actually really liked this reply purely on the fact that it walked a different avenue of response

Because yeah indeed, under the lens of raw naïve implementation, the utter breadth of scope involved in basically anything is so significantly beyond useful (or even tenuous) human comprehension it’s staggering

We are, notably, remarkably competent at abstraction[0], and this goes a hell of a long way in affordance but it’s also not an answer

I’ll probably edit this later to flesh the post out a bit, because I’m feeling bad at words rn

[0] - this ties in with the “lossy at scale” post I need to get to writing (soon.gif)

slight queasiness like a reverse body high, tinged with experience of time distortion ("the fuck? since 2000?! WHY") and dissociation

some memory loss about the experience as well, with any recall about the details of the visions entirely vacant from my mind. it's like seeing the machine elves but my brain didn't want to remember
