The problem with powerscalers is that they're unimaginative. They talk about "can goku beat superman" and not "could lord vetinari fix gotham"

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

1/ US regulators were ordered by a Trump Administration political appointee to stop investigating suspected insider trading relating to Donald Trump's March 23 announcement that he wouldn't bomb Iranian power plants. The move is said to be "unheard of". ⬇️

I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

⚡️Russia behind Britain's Brexit vote, UK prime minister admits for first time.

Yet some people still refuse to see fascism when it's a farce of itself.

Amirite tho

I do think you basically charge a few of them with the cybercrimes they're committing and the "alignment" problem does suddenly start to disappear.

this is my standard response to anyone who is using an unlabeled bot that is replying as them. it's from the Anthropic universal jailbreak bug bounty specification.

"i have created the machine that thinks." you fucked up a perfectly good graphics card is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

AI is ruining cute animals for me

What he doesn't realize is if the yuri writers get replaced, their backup plan is to finish their papers on probabilistic approaches to nonlinear dynamics. So, it should all even out.

We’re delighted to announce we’ve created the Blackshorts from P.G. Wodehouse’s humorous short story “Please, Dear Chap, Don’t Create The Blackshorts”

It would be wrong to speculate about the political leanings of those men in black shirts.

Remember five years ago talking about how the Internet was maybe getting a little bad?
