I wonder how often Musk fires employees who explain to him that, no using tesla cars for distributed computing is a bad idea and we should stop working on this.

I also thought 'guess LLMs dont work as an editor'.

And blockchains did massive damage, all the ransomware crime would be impossible if the tech world had not jumped into blockchain as much as they did and created and kept maintaining the ecosystem. (It also caused the techbro people who now pivot to AI rise, so it is connected). Note that the damage done by BEC is still greater than ransomware, so not cybersecurity advice.

But I get your point, I think a real example would be facebooks pivot to video. Which destroyed companies.

That is odd in a way, you would expect them to honour is wishes of that data no longer being available, but nope.

Incorporating into your workflow a company that is a shell around other companies that are selling their products at a loss with no path to profitability seems like quite an unacceptable business risk to me. But I dont get paid the big bux

Also that weird 'breed early' fetish common in a lot of rw spaces. And last I looked at it this whole 'older people do worse' thing while it mostly seems (it is complicated and lot of things can happen etc)to exist mostly affects the pregnancy less so the child, and even then the effects didnt seem to be big. Not big enough to be relevant here. (But iirc 99.99% of the research in this is only in about pregnancies, so wouldn't put much stock in 'older parents affect on IQ' style research, due to the type of people interested in that).

But im not a researcher, just a person who looked at the stats a couple of years back and apart from pregnancy risk i wasnt that worried.

E: and look at that the op there agrees with me.

Did he just pull a "according to the dictionary"? Sorry Moldbug, you just are radically uncool no matter how many leather jackets you get.

Yeah, I know, it is a personal thing from me. I have more of those, think it isn't helpful to use certain too general terms in specific cases as then you cast a too wide net. I fun at parties. (It is also me poking fun at how the soviets called everybody who disagreed with them a reactionary)

Considering how rightwingers have tried to link gayness to pedophilia this is a subject I would avoid if I was them. E: and gwern just goes there.

Yes the 2 rs in strawberry machine thinks. In the same way that an airplane flies. /s

E: it gets even worse as half the AI field says the airplanes fly like how birds do. That is why the anthropomorphization is bad. Because it both doesn't think as in the function, nor think as in the system. And by anthropomorphizing people make it look like it can do both.

Nooo run! Beware the lure of the abyss that is learning more about this stuff. Remember you cannot unlearn things!

That doesn't matter, they still are the 'clueless' AI doomers vs the 'sociopathic' Altman (doubt much 'losers' work there). (I'm using these terms here specifically like how the insight porn ribbonfarm thing did. And I mean it as a joke, ribbonfarm is part of their insight blog culture, they just don't actually learn much from the things they read).

To explain, the clueless believe in the work the company is doing and will work hard without really looking at advancing their own career, they are the true believers (they still can be real life sociopaths, if they work for the art in the woodchipper company for example). The sociopaths are the ones who are in it to improve their own career will fuck over and abuse the clueless for their own advancement/enrichment. Losers know it is just a job, a paycheck, they do their job nothing more and go home, have a family, hobbies, touch grass, live a rich full life. There I saved you a novel length of blog posts (im not kidding btw, the ebook (sold on amazon of course) is 171 pages).
