if one person came out and spilled the beans, it’d suggest that there might be more people who didn’t

keep in mind these mails are years-disclosed by now - at least a few of them will have learned a lesson and gotten more careful

(I’m constantly glad that as many of them do not)

(like, largely it just bugs me where I know the name from (because being baseline horrendous at recalling names and then recognising this one is uhhhh))

shit you’re right, I should search offsite (active) chats too

…wby does that username ring bells in my brain

did it show up here somewhat recently? (I ask right before checking search)

(e: nothing immediately in search but I could swear I’ve seen that name somewhere in the last few months (and not in a good context))

some UN-associated ACM talk I was listening to recently had someone cite a number at (iirc) $1.5tn total estimated investment $800b[0]. haven’t gotten to fact-check it but there’s a number of parts of that talk I wish to write up and make more known

one of the people in it made some entirely AGI-pilled comments, and it’s quite concerning

this talk; looks like video is finally up on youtube too (at the time I yanked it by pcap-ing a zoom playout session - turns out zoom recordings are hella aggressive about not being shared)

the question I asked was:

To Csaba (the current speaker): it seems that a lot of the current work you’re engaged in is done presuming that AGI is a certainty. what modelling you have you done without that presumption?

response is about here

[0] edited for correctness; forget where I saw the >$1.5t number

a lot of which also exists on the archives here (although I guess now with that side also existing as frankenstein’s monster there might be some funkiness going on)

yes, sneerclub exists to ridicule these people (see sub sidebar for some links)

and yep, your takeaway about that language is exactly right. although every single one of them continues to swear at every opportunity that they’re not a cult, even midway through praising their cultlord

listen all you need to understand it is yud’s ghost personally whispering over your shoulder at every thought, it’s really quite approachable

ferrymen ⊄ men?

no-one said he couldn’t be yoda

Always good when people bring up ‘trans ideology’.

I wish I’d stored the link somewhere but some years back I hit one of those Twitter Expositionary Threads about (one of?) the roots of this shit, the read focusing on “the nation question” (and then breaking it out both in historical context, and the various ways it got latterly repurposed by ghouls)

and every single fucking time I see some fucker post about “the $x ideology”, I flash back to the that thread, and the knowledge gained from it

also a crutch I use but I really want “onetab for adhd”

some things I want in it: keep tree context, allow me to set notes/reasons on groups, links between storesets, page-archiving with full text search index built

and yeah I know the first one probably requires a Fx feature that might not exist yet

wtf is this comment

fucking willison and his bullshit booster takes

“we can’t figure out how to make them stop” just stop using the lies generator, you fuckwit.

taking all the wrong bloody lessons from “computer says no”

ah, the Billionaire Builder class. I was assured that these are the people who should lead the world “they” have “built”, and see absolutely no issue here whatsoever!~

I mostly saw because my main view is new-comments :)

haha he posted just last week :D

but yeah, he’s quite busy with life and books atm (see blog)
