I hear GPT-8 will broadcast a dyson sphere circumnavigation race

Opening the sack with this shit that spawned in front of me:

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says GPT-8 will be true AGI if it solves quantum gravity — the father of quantum computing agrees

Guess it won’t be true AGI!

Kind of a fluff story (archive) where salty’s douchiness is on full display.

I referenced it because fake book titles are throwaway jokes, you can reference something hyperspecific and not have to worry about whether or not someone will get it, because they might not even notice it at all.

The spectre of Marx nods in approval

Ah, gotcha. fwiw I wasn’t saying that to say “joyless people are bad”; burnout also tends to look like joylessness.

Man, knowing nothing else about your coworker, they sound like a completely joyless person. Coming up with fake titles for things is like, such a high fun-to-effort ratio. “Creativity and the essence of Human Experience” by Chat GPT. Boom, there’s one. “Cooking With Olive Oil” by Sam Altman. “IQ184” by Harukiezer Murakowsky. This is so fun and easy that it’s basically hack outside of situations where it is solicited.

Satire warning!!! 🚨🚨🚨 You have been warned!!!

Some great tips for using ChatGPT to stop being a “Brain only” person to a fully optimised person!

it would be very funny if Rocco Basilico’s legacy was that his name bore resemblance to Roko Basilisk and nothing else

It is well known that the Marketplace Of Ideas is Zero Sum

Uh I think we are very quickly and dangerously approaching Dawkinsian Meme Theory

Tech take from the near future: Podcast life begins at conception i.e. the instant one thinks the inside thoughts should be outside

Well, I have had some of their hot sauces before and can confirm that they are not bad to pretty good, and are at a good gift sort of price point (if you live in the US).

Hmm, it’s still on the funny side of graph for me. I think it could go on for at least another week.

this is cartoonish. Like, Dilbert had “elbonia” for whatever reason, did scott adams predict this?? (fuck scott adams ofc)

All is forgiven. Hot Ones is an internet interview show. Its core premise is that the host and interviewee conduct their interview while eating increasingly spicier chicken wings. As with any interview platform, it’s a common stop for public figures to hit up, especially on PR tours.

The show has a reputation for researching its guests well and asking insightful/deep questions. There’s also an element to it where, for some guests, as they experience spicier wings, they are unable to keep up whatever facade or persona they usually keep up in interviews.

I wasn’t making any profound commentary; I want to see Yud in pain while trying to explain alignment.

If Yud and Soares are on a book tour I want them to go on hot ones

Recently thought about how this one xkcd has probably done more recruiting for the rat community per unit effort spent making it than that 700k word salad.

Where are we on xkcd? I haven’t looked at it regularly for over a decade now. Nothing personally against the author or comic itself, I just completely deconverted from consuming nerd celebrity content at that point in the past.

Not sweaty enough
