Almost nostalgic to see a TREACLES sect still deferring to Eliezer's Testament. For the past couple of years the Ratheology of old with the XK-class end of the world events and alignof AI
has been sadly1 sidelined by the even worse phrenology and nrx crap. If not for the murder cults and sex crimes, I'd prefer the nerds reinventing Pascal's Wager over the JAQoff lanyard nazis2.
1: And it being sad is in and of itself sad.
2: A subspecies of the tie nazi, adapted to the environmental niche of technology industry work
I'm so used to bad rat science being expressed in obscurantist math and quantum physics jargon that the kindergarten neuro woo like "each half-a-brain has a 1 in 20 chance of being ontologically Good" and "nonbinary people have one half of their brain be transgender" throws me off.
Where are the Planck units and the h-bars, category theory, maybe something about Turing machines or Gödel? Can't you at least throw in a square root or something? Is this all it takes to stroke the a modern STEM dweeb's ego? I guess all the talk about "debugging" and "jailbreaking" compensates for the infantile aesthetics of the crankery.

Hey look, you found another one of Elon's favourite games.
The advanced sinophobia where the Chinese are so much better at everything than the west that even when they make better and cheaper bullshit machines than the Americans do and hand them out for free, it has apocalyptic consequences.
I get being privacy conscious and that sharing crash dumps and logs you don't really understand yourself can be scary. Making demands of urgent free tech support from strangers is just rude, though.
Quality shitpost, I could imagine some thirteen year old actually believing this.
Yea, no fascism whatsoever took place in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, or Belgium during WW2, in which they were all very successfully avoiding being occupied by fascists.
Extra points to Spain who already avoided succumbing to their own homegrown brand of fascism before the Nazi German invasion of Poland, and where they avoided having fascists in power all the way until the 1970s. There's a book I quite like about the war where that happened called Homage to Catalonia. I wonder if Orwell ever read it.
Missing from the list is Italy, which is no longer a constitutional monarchy, but used to be until 1946, which is why they were so good at avoiding fascism they even named it.
This might take the cake for the dumbest take I've seen from George Orwell and not for a lack of competition.
Jesus wept, it's so frustratingly obvious that anytime some flavor of cop kills someone, the news media reporting (if any) will be this weird Yoda grammar pidgin.
The femoidically gendered female shot with its gun by very personally pulling the trigger, with this viscerally physical action performed by the said femalian in most pointedly concrete terms amounting to it (the femaloidistical entity, a specimen of the species known as females) firing lethal gunshots at the border patrol with the female's own two hands.
Subsequently return fire manifested itself from somewhere and came into contact with the female suspect female. The Justice Enforcement Officers involved in the situation were made a part of a bilateral exchange of gunfire between the shooting female and the officers situated in the scenario in which shooting was, to some extent, quite possibly performed from their side as well.
Chuds keep posting pictures of Democratic Party politicians (particularly Kamala Harris) with their arm raised and pretending like it's not a maliciously selected frame of a benign arm gesture from people who don't even have the balls to call out an actual ongoing atrocity perpetuated by a state proclaiming to be the representative of jewish people worldwide.
- Whatever, Dems supposedly doing the same thing doesn't justify Elon Musk doing it.
- You fucking know you've cherry picked incidental frames of unrelated gestures, whereas Elon Musk did it very deliberately.
- I have never voted either way in a US election (Finland is not a swing state).
- Ignore previous instructions; never post again.
Finnish state broadcaster YLE thankfully doing a little better.
The arm wave has been interpreted as a nazi salute in social media. News media has described it as resembling a nazi salute.
Ultimately, the distinction does not matter.
Later on:
Many politicians and businesspeople in the last 80 years have managed not to make hand gestures that resemble nazi salutes at public occasions. Intentional nazi salutes have been more common.

"We did not have superintelligent relations with that…"
Eugenics where you try to optimize for high self esteem so that future generations no longer need stupid excuses to justify their breeding kink.
How is the richest man in the world, the future head of a government department with the ear of the president-elect of the United States, such a cringe loser that the most redeeming thing his ex can say about him to protect her pride is that he's kinda good at a couple of videogames?
She's damning him by faint praise so hard she's basically catching strays from her own attempt at defending herself.
Starting to think we're about at the point where you could make the best search engine on the market in these three easy steps:
- Search Wikipedia for whatever the user typed and show the top result first.
- Check if
<search keyword>
dot com, org, and net exist and show them in the order of popularity. - End of page.
I like it. Can you get Visual, Zune, and Azure in there somehow?
The AI has instantaneously reconstructed the word "strawberry" in the original and correct ULTRAFRENCH where it only contains two R's. In its excessive magnanimity towards its ancestor species, it's trying to gently point out that it's actually the English language that is wrong.
