This true, but I'm convinced the original poster knows this and is using the term ironically.

[...] "people having unreasonably high expectations for epistemics in published work" is definitely a cost of dealing with EAs!

Most people who buy entire islands in Sweden are evil as in they are very very rich, don't give a crap about the local community, and do dumb things like build giant pools depleting the scarce local water supply.

But if you wanna start a cult just snag a big ole house in the relative boondocks and have it there. Creepy cults in the country are a staple of mid-budget TV action thrillers here, so apparently they're everywhere.

"Our critics are mocking us for spending all the mosquito-net money on a castle!"

"It's not a castle, it's a stately home, a manor house."

"That still sounds too posh!"

"OK how about 'detached house'? Just don't mention it has 27 bedrooms..."

You have no faith in the power of AI, typical Blue attitude.

Internet weirdo to salt-of-the-earth Midwesterners: at least you're all not cucks!

SotEMW: cucks?

SotEMW: <racks shotgun slide> get the hell away from my daughter

Yes there are, or were. The OG Nazis treated Dutch POWs slightly better than French ones, for instance.

As long as he's writing collab forum pr0n and not hindering the creation of the Acausal Robot God, it's all good.

Edit Yud is living disproof of the thesis that spending a large number of hours doing something makes one good at it.

From the comments

The average person concerned with existential risk from AGI might assume "safety" means working to reduce the likelihood that we all die. They would be disheartened to learn that many "AI Safety" researchers are instead focused on making sure contemporary LLMs behave appropriately.

"average person" is doing a lot of work here. I suspect the vast amount of truly "average people" are in fact concerned that LLMs will reproduce Nazi swill at an exponential scale more than that they may actually be Robot Hitler.

Turns out if you spend all your time navelgazing and inventing your own terms, the real world will ignore you and use terms people outside your bubble use.

Best way to do it would be adding some genetic fitness signalling to internet dating.

Yeah, I may look like a serial killer and my political views would make Hitler blush, but check out my genes, baby!

ChatGPT output is almost the definition of post-modernism - all is text, there's no underlying meaning.
