Yeah, why do they dress expensively but shit? My suspicion is so that the kind of elites the Kravattennazis don’t like can snub them. Gives them street cred, the “elites” don’t like them!

Consider: making fun of the way they look not only hurts anyone who looks like them through no fault of their own (say, can only afford a shitty cut once every few months) but actively plays into the hands of those shitheels - they made you do a classism.

Let’s ridicule them for their garbage beliefs and their shitty actions; they sure deliver plenty of those.

Oh lol, isn’t this what Hindenburg Research and others are doing, except on the real market? Shorting some company’s stock and then publishing news stories about how bad things are gonna happen to them is a very fun grift…

Guess what I’m saying is, wonder if an FTC with fangs wouldn’t treat prediction markets as an as-yet unregulated securities exchange…

Oh boy, if licensing education is too expensive to run, do I know a bad purchase for Microsoft to have made

Despite worrying my brains out about getting deported from my home of 14 years because I wasn’t born in this godforsaken place, I’m extremely excited that Elon will get fired in the next 6 months or less. Gives me life to think about him getting very publicly humiliated by an even greater piece of shit than he is.

Ohhhh, so this is a forced-birther agenda item. Got it

Hate to break this, but https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/elon-musk-x-corp-alex-jones-infowars-rcna180487

Seems he is now fully sold on the idea that this is his world, we’re just living in it.

Microsoft found a fitting way to punish AI for collaborating with SEO spammers in generating slop: make it use the GitHub code review tools. https://github.blog/changelog/2024-10-29-refine-and-validate-code-review-suggestions-with-copilot-workspace-public-preview/

Right, sure he picked the most glorified fantasy race out there, “but evil”. When in reality he’s a Duergar at best:

Personality Tyrannical, grim, industrious and pessimistic,[11][20] the lives of the gray dwarves were bleak and brutal. Rather than a flaw, however, they viewed their lack of happiness as their greatest strength, the defining feature of duergar pride.

Sounds about right for the joyless world he imagines his ideal society would represent.

 

Got the pointer to this from Allison Parrish who says it better than I could:

it's a very compelling paper, with a super clever methodology, and (i'm paraphrasing/extrapolating) shows that "alignment" strategies like RLHF only work to ensure that it never seems like a white person is saying something overtly racist, rather than addressing the actual prejudice baked into the model.

 

School student tells AI to put 20 other students’ faces on nude pictures, shares them in chat; it takes months for anyone including the school administrators to act because of some extremely, uh, dubious loophole.

If someone does that in photoshop, it’s a crime; if they do it in AI pretending to be photoshop, it’s somehow not. Gotta love this legal system’s focus on minor technicalities rather than the harm done.

 

They have Nik Suresh (the author) on, as well as Robert Evans. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but it’s fun so far.

 

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.
