I’ll give this author +10 bayes points for noticing Trump does unpredictable batshit stuff

+10 bayes points

Has someone on LW already proposed a BayesCoin or have I just figured out how to steal lunch money from all rationalists at once

Thanks Scott, never change.

Not to worry, he never will!

“Do not use for anything.”

That’s really harsh since I have a few bad books that are at least useful as monitor stands

TW: contains real chuds

read the study yourself

• > they don’t understand

This is actually an accurate representation of most “gifted olympiad laureate attempting to solve a freshman CS problem on the blackboard” students I’ve went to uni with.

Jumps to the front after 5 seconds from the task being assigned, bluffs that the problem is trivial, tries to salvage their reasoning for 5 minutes when questioned by the tutor, turns out the theorem they said was trivial is actually false, sits down having wasted 10 minutes of everyone’s time.

Misogyny is the free square, easy to forget

There’s a fucking for profit that does this and it’s used by the god damn USA Speaker of the House so that his son can monitor his fondling

While all the comments are correct, i.e. what the fuck is wrong with you, this is also wrong since it immediately leaves the duck unsupervised after the first trip. So really not sure what you’re trying to prove here.

In my head transhumanism is this cool idea where I’d get to have a zoom function in my eye

But of course none of that could exist in our capitalist hellscape because of just all the reasons the ruling class would use it to opress the working class.

And then you find out what transhumanists actually advocate for and it’s just eugenics. Like without even a tiny bit of plausible deniability. They’re proud it’s eugenics.

Unlike in the paragraph above, though, most LW posters held plenty of nuts in their hands before.

… I’ll see myself out

Can post only if you look like this

Bwahahaha, as I said on bsky: let them do it, can’t wait to use it as a cautionary tale of why full rewrites are a terrible idea during freshman programming lectures

Jesus christ this is so cringe, they used The One Joke three times in the first minute and that’s not even the halfway point, I’m not finishing this nonsense

The secret is to have cultivated a codebase so utterly shit that even LLMs can make it better by just randomly making stuff up

At least they don’t get psychic damage from looking at the code

To be fair, many men see every women, including cis, as one they’re allowed to abuse and all the other things you mentioned. And then it’ll be her fault for being “hysterical” or something similarly dumb.

I will find you. And I will kill -9 you.

ye like maybe let me make it clear that this was just a shitpost very much riffing on LWers not necessarily being the most pleasant around women

It’s so funny he almost gets it at the end:

But there’s another aspect, way more important than mere “moral truth”: I’m a human, with a dumb human brain that experiences human emotions. It just doesn’t feel good to be responsible for making models scream. It distracts me from doing research and makes me write rambling blog posts.

He almost identifies the issue as him just anthropomorphising a thing and having a subconscious empathical reaction, but then presses on to compare it to mice who, guess what, can feel actual fucking pain and thus abusing them IS unethical for non-made-up reasons as well!

Sometimes pushing through pain is necessary — we accept pain every time we go to the gym or ask someone out on a date.

Okay this is too good, you know mate for normally people asking someone out usually does not end with a slap to the face so it’s not as relatable as you might expect
