@ai_shame RT'd a good sneer in the wild recently:
Bonus: Eliezer, of all people, also sneered at the TESCREAL twat:
At its low point, some computer scientists and software engineers avoided the term artificial intelligence for fear of being viewed as wild-eyed dreamers. (New York Times, 2005, at the end of the last AI winter.)
I expect history to repeat itself quite soon - where previously using the term "artificial intelligence" got you looked at as a wild-eyed dreamer, now, using that term's likely getting you looked at as an asshole techbro, and your research deemed a willing attempt to hurt others.
On the one hand, Bitcoin as an emoji would be basically useless.
On the other hand, it could work as an easy shorthand for "scam"
(and jeez, I know naming stuff is hard, but “Ploopy” is kinda bad as a company name).
Naming themselves after something which implies immortality would've been my pick - something like "Theseus", to suggest a Ship-of-Theseus kind of immortality, I dunno.
I like how the advertisement's URL opens with a fucking O_Q like even its unsettled by this shit
That's a car I'd key guilt free
The site describes CalcGPT as an art installation
As a critique of AI, it probably is pretty effective - no better way of mocking ChatGPT than by having it fuck up basic arithmetic that even a five-year-old can do.
You wanna mock somebody, it helps tricking them into mocking themselves.
In other news, Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 got sent a viewpoint article with the title "Can Artificial Intelligence Speak for Incapacitated Patients at the End of Life?".
I will give MAIHT3K credit for managing to get through that shit, because what the actual fuck.
I've kinda said this before, but I expect shit like this to feed a growing trend of treating all crawlers as malicious until proven otherwise, and blocking them accordingly - even if it causes serious problems, its arguably better than the risk of getting fucked by an AI crawler.
I also expect robots.txt to fall out of use as a consequence of this plague of AI crawlers. Between OpenAI openly ignoring it, Perplexity openly deceiving it, and Anthropic spamming crawlers to get past it, the trust necessary for robots' "voluntary compliance" model to work has been thoroughly fucking shredded.
