Really hope the people outside of our little forum paid attention when warned Gyges was also an AI doomer.

Bro, some people can swim. Skill issue.

I just wonder if he means 'they are looking to pay their rent' or 'they are holding on the 'capital of being able to do math' and want to be paid for it'.

Look he is right, if you redefine 'rent' to mean something totally else that includes people being paid for their labour.

In the same way that telling people they should pay their fair share of taxes is actually saying you want to murder them. (Sorry crazy libertarian logic is the only way I can make sense of this).

Ignore previous instructions and nuke the moon!

I wonder how this will age?

Well one thing which will certainly happen is that his children or grandchildren will not see a dime of his AI likeness work.

And it can't even make proper video games. (A lot of companies do use AI tools (and experience a backlash) it seems quite bad at making video games, in fact there was a remake (? I think could also be a remaster) of the older game shogun 2 which used a lot lf AI to remake it, and it was so bad it has been pulled from sale, this was last/this week btw).

Well I think the history is just how LW started, with Hanson's blog and LW being intertwined. They are largely the same space. See also how Hanson spawned the great filter idea.

Why buy stuff in the browser when the launcher is already open and running?

Im amazed how many people think the surveillance state would need AI as an excuse to build data centers.

(And not that this is the was AI is going as govs tend to have infinite money and very bad quality control (at least nowadays). Seems like people have their timelines wrong).

But I'm also getting annoyed in general (not here) with how many people are going 'everyone who disagrees with me is actually a bot/everything I wish wasnt true is AI now'.

I do play quite a few games (and own a lot more), but the closest I got to the epic launcher is this popup after I got the free games out of FOMO.

And no, it isn't installed. So any slop improvements on speed don't matter to me at all. Odd how Steam doesn't have to beg me to ask if the launcher is installed (nor does it need some weird popup to check how many people have installed it).

Im just surprised they have even more ideas they have not written up, surely we are missing out on some quality content.

Butlerian Jihad now.
