For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

people most often believe what they want to believe so what this says to me is that even though he is very smart, he wants to believe we have figured out/are on the very cusp of figuring out GAI so he is much more inclined to take evidence that suggests that supports what he wants to believe (OMG LOOK THEY PASSED THE TURING TEST!?!?!?) at face value rather than thinking about whether the turing test is actually even a valid way of determining this kind of thing or not.
also, even more cynically, agi being around the corner would increase his own station as an AIvangelist and tech person of note (more TED-style talks in front of other bespectacled 30-50 year olds)
yeah he could always be literally lying to make more money if he's involved in the industry lol
