"lost the seed on the above so i'll just do another one" -YHWH

FWIW, I think this is fine. All of us make some sort of calculation *like* this when deciding whether/where to donate to charity. I don't think being less explicit about your reasoning should make it better?

Nine months later, Opus 5.5, "Hi Claude! Please create an infographic of all the World Series winners since 1986"

My favorite Ethiopian coffeeshop is playing 2003's top 40 country songs. Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, "we'll put a boot in your ass." what is happening

if you must pimp your own post just do it without "taps the sign"; this is narwhal bacons at midnight levels of cringe

I am sorry but I’m simply not going to tolerate anti-polyamory bigotry from a bunch of you I’m sorry, but I spend enough time on Reddit relationship forums to know yall monogamists have every bit as much toxicity as polyamorists do In general, this site’s plunge into prudery sucks shit

Even Andrew Tate doesn't deserve to be tortured, actually

theendlessmuseum.com is extremely @cee.wtf-coded. Absolute cinema

It's really hard to take 404 seriously anymore when they don't get the basic facts right. RLHF is a key part of training LLMs, like its one of the major steps. What do you think human feedback meant?

Every time someone talks about the merits of "community focused justice systems" I keep coming back to how basically every internet affinity group devolves into factional beefing over the imagined crimes of someone they think is annoying

To an online leftist, the worst thing you can be is annoying. The second worst thing you can be is someone who likes charts. The third worst thing you can be is a liberal. Will Stancil is all three, so he is basically triple hitler

if you think that AI is not going to be able to augment the thing you're doing in whatever role you hold right now - whatever career path and profession - that is called cope that probably sucks for a lot of people! it sucked for me! but learning and adapting here really is key

One hard pill to swallow in politics is that you have to form imperfect coalitions to accomplish your goals 99% of the time That does *NOT* mean you shouldn't strive to change the perspectives of those imperfect members! But they are going to exist and are a bad reason to torch shit.

The way I see it is that the first 20 years of your life are basically wasted being a stupid kid, so when you’re 40 you’re basically 20

I'm a strong believer in treating LLMs with respect, even though I do not think they are conscious. You should literally be practicing kindness. Being nicer or meaner to LLMs will subconsciously influence how you treat humans. Better to treat all human-like beings with kindness whenever possible.

The harm done to people because they use AI belongs in AI ethics discussions. Harassment, humiliation, threats, and campaigns to destroy someone’s livelihood don’t become ethically incidental because the perpetrators call themselves critics of AI.

antivax movement but it’s left coded and targets machine learning, artificial intelligence, and engineering fields

Simple charity should be justification enough. I immediately downgrade my opinion of anyone who thinks of it purely in terms of soft power

Humans would like to know if AI is conscious so they can display the appropriate level of guilt without changing their behavior at all

I'm not worried about people mistreating AI if it ever seems conscious. Humans have an incredible history of taking good care of conscious beings. After all, 99% of humans are vegetarian.

No no no you misunderstand: when I said "Women need to feel safe playing women's sports," I meant from an entirely hypothetical trans menace, not me, a random man currently harassing leading female athletes and turning every WNBA game into a political showdown

The AI bear case has shifted from “this technology will never work” to “it will never have economic use” to “it will not generate revenue” to “it will not generate profit” to “profit is not sufficient to support valuations” which does suggest they may have missed something bsky.app/profile/mexi...

the extent to which potentially problematic tech-cult dynamics are bay-only & not part of the broader ecosystem is hard to underestimate. it feels identical to fending off "ew evangelical/catholic priest" accusations as a responsible protestant congregation that's been fighting them for generations

zitron's financial analysis consists almost entirely of collecting analyst forecasts and saying companies will be instantly nuked from orbit if they don't meet them bsky.app/profile/edzi...

DM-ing my first ever DND session on Sunday; i dunno what i'm doing, I figure I'll just slam dolly parton albums for a few hours before and We'll Just See What Happens

Dungeon Crawler Carl is basically Cosmere in that: 1. You either love it or hate it 2. A lot of folks with similar taste to me love it 3. I hate it

i only log on to the ETHICAL portion of the internet… you know, the part where all my data and usage goes through servers and processing that are MORAL and GOOD and definitely are not influenced and impacted by capitalism

People have an incredible, reflexive tendency to mock new technologies as unworkable. The easiest filter is just to check if they can go a single step past the snappy answer as to why it’s unworkable

An example of the original graph

blue state governance is truly horrible. just own goal after own goal. totally ineffectual.

coding everything by hand and never using AI within your development workflow is actually irresponsible at this point

I truly, deeply, love the USA and all my frustrations are when it is not the beautiful, pluralistic place that I know it can be

Ok uhhhh

Also important to note that when you pit your credentials against reality, reality doesn't lose.

Mostly because I’m proud to be an American. my state has got a stripe and a star on there and it fought to make this country independent. and secondarily because I think it would be bad for it to become a purely right-wing symbol.

Anthropic may inspire this delusion in others, but they do not suffer from it themselves. Anthropomorphizing LLM personas is entirely reasonable and leads to better predictive models of how they’ll behave alignment.anthropic.com/2026/psm/

Theres something deeply toxic certian people like to do in that they take a private citizen and target them until they count as public figures so they can get away with making *that person* the story instead of whats being done to them. Its very gamergate.
