Looks like elon and the others fell for it tbh, not so much you. (Note his screenshot showed he liked and retweeted it).

Every time you pay a worker the risk of them owning a little bit of the companies stock increases. And workers owning the means of production is socialism, so that means paying workers is for commies.

Mentioned this to people around me who are owldicted, and it did seem to change a thing. They agree with me the quality has dropped, they heard the stories that the lessons now dont properly teach you the language, but they continue using it. It is telling people not to use their pet names for passwords all over again.

Their twitter account is really odd though and im not 100% sure they are trolling still.

Yeah it gets really weird in the end very EE (Eastern European) sf. (Which often has a bit more fantasy elements in it, compared to more western europe (ignoring psionics here, which despite being fantasy is so ingrained in our idea of SF it doesnt really feel like it) SF. Not that I mind. I read a lot of 70s SF so I found the no fantasy stance slightly odd. Also quite bleak which is also common in more EE SF I heard). I digress. The other things made more impact so I forgot if it was also in the book. Which I enjoyed so you could try going back.

Ah yes one of those great ideas to change the world by changing nothing podcasts.

Big chance this person is <25 and this is just the reactionary yearning for a better past that never was. Also interesting how they always blame the 'Left', and not just somebody like Reagan who had actual power, actually caused a measurable shift etc. (Not saying it was great before him, I wasnt there in time and place) But nope popular culture controls the world. Thanks cartoon Obama.

Yes the score is still negative even of they had one win. Note how the glyposate asspull still got 50 upvotes. (And how one person went 'wow i have the same' in reaction to that to then just go 'it was gluten'. Enormous levels of contrarian so open minded their brains now have worms stuff. And amazing that all of this started just because Yud thought others were not unbiassed enough to properly understand his argument about training agi safely. Talk about 'I realized my initial goals were impossible so I made secondary goals which were also impossible so I'm going to become a weird (far) right winger scope drift. See also Musk. Whos plans for Mars were replaced with AI robots, and now is starting a company townwith all the women he has kids with (see also 'the implication'). (Yeah I made up that his women compound and company town are in the same place, but you get my point I hope).

Interesting how they fail in similar ways, Musk ignores the community notes and spouts his bs, vs Yud and ignoring the post (i assume 2023 yud vs 2024 lw) and already going anti meta study (??) in the tweet. Womens compound vs math pets. Weird science fiction bs vs weird science fiction ba. Has group of haters he claims are actually a small (undead) Jewish cabal who are behind all his hate vs Has group of haters who all are (goth) David Gerard.

Also not that this 'key was generated by a person once' stuff does not validate personhood, it just means an identifiable person was involved once. So, it can be used to blame somebody, not prove personhood

 

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.
