I'm a lot more afraid of the recursive effect of this joke. We could have at scale at scale.

All twelve fingers? Wow.

Some of the horrors are also going to be load bearing for some fixes people dont properly realize because the space of computers which can run windows is so vast.

Think something like that happend with twitter, when Musk did his impression of a bull in a china store at the stack, they cut out some code which millions of Indians, who used old phones, needed to access the twitter app.

On the subject of Brave:

https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1j1pq7b/list_of_brave_browser_controversies/ it really has a little bit to many controversies. (And the list is downplaying some of it, the wikipedia clone added wasn't just some random one, it is was the one created by the alt right, neo-nazi Vox Day. Addition of which by the CEO should be enough to not want to use the browser at all).

They now updated this to say it is just a research project and none of it will be going live. Pinky promise (ok, I added the pinky promise bit).

Wonder if this is some sort of pre model collapse sign.

Talked to somebody who is really into chatbot roleplay (of the 'longer term stories with new fantasy characters' type), and he mentioned that he needs to take his characters stories and archetypes to different models every now and then as a sort of refresh, as the models tend to eventually converge into certain stuck patterns. First clue of this seems to be that the replies seem to start to become a similar pattern of text organization. Sorry if this is vague as it is second hand, but the main point is, text based LLMs prob also do this.

Thanks! Had not really thought about how dice would mess with the complexity of things tbh.

That would be such a "we didnt know the dotcom bubble was popping a month later" move.

Obscure crypto programming term. Sure

Wonder how they managed to do that legally, saying it was AI but letting people see the data makes me think they might have broken a few laws.

 

Via reddits sneerclub. Thanks u/aiworldism.

I have called LW a cult incubator for a while now, and while the term has not catched on, nice to see more reporting on the problem that lw makes you more likely to join a cult.

As found by @gerikson here, more from the anti anti TESCREAL crowd. How the antis are actually R9PRESENTATIONALism. Ottokar expanded on their idea in a blog post.

I have not read the bigger blog post yet btw, just assumed it would be sneerable and posted it here for everyone's amusement. Learn about your own true motives today. (This could be a troll of course, boy does he drop a lot of names and thinks that is enough to link things).
