But it's not all bad. At least every other account is a spambot now.
I think that there's an assumption here that may, rather significantly, not be well-founded.
One way in which Palmer Luckey is the superior of this peers? It's interesting: just like them, he's enriched himself by selling garbage to rubes at astronomical prices. But unlike them, he's done this because he truly thinks that garbage is cool. And it is!

Mathematicians are OUTRAGED that their high social status, with its accompaniment of wealth, women, and general extravagance, has been encroached upon by artificial intelligences of humble background.
I have no issue with Zohran; I even begrudgingly like him (& I don't live in New York anyway). But it's funny that he's being subjected to behavior by a subsegment of his core coalition that demonstrates they actually have no theory and are functionally a swarm of insects.

Anti-Mamdani chants at the protest:
“Zohran, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”
“700,000 dead. Mamdani, your hands are red!”
“Traitor, traitor, come on out! You sold all your people out!”
“Zohran, you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide!”

Every day I come on here and encounter a new "smart person" who's somehow missed out on literally the entire history of European thought post-1895.
It’s over for the thinking human. Now is the dawn of the sensing human, the human of the body, the blood, the instinct. The animal human, the human of emotions and passions.

I absolutely despise Palmer, and therefore I'm always stricken and dismayed that he seems to have one of the most glitteringly intelligent faces in the Valley. Maybe it's just swamp-person blood-vision.

Palmer Luckey reveals the startup he'd build today: oxytocin doping to end divorce
"I would try to end the tragedy of divorce with oxytocin doping for marriage counseling."
"We understand mammal pair bonding pretty well. There's a lot of people who want to stay together. Most of the people who don't want to stay together should stay together, especially for their kids."
"And we can, if people think SSRIs are fine, which they're not, but if they were, then oxytocin doping to stay together is definitely fine."
"It's the mammal pair bonding chemical. There's things you can do to increase the uptake, and it's very well understood. Also, totally unregulated, which is great. Unregulated spaces are a lot easier to do. You can go buy a kilogram of oxytocin on Sigma Aldrich Chemical Supply right now, and if you do that, maybe you won't die alone."
"It's pure biology. It's used for women who don't bond with their kids, and now for women who don't bond with their husbands. It's also used for kids with various neurological issues, some kids with autism who struggle with pair bonding."
"The cool thing is it's a self-reinforcing loop. We understand that very well. Unlike most drugs, it doesn't form a chemical dependency. It actually unburdens you from a chemical dependency."

China should convince white Americans to complete abandon STEM education by deliberately shaping the online discourse around it that it it suitable only for soulless bugmen and is not suitable for Aryan spiritual aristocrats.

my truthful answer is that i would never presume what the problems are. i have not seen the inside of github's architecture since 2019. i know they have good folks working there. i know that type of scale coming so quickly is very hard to react to when you run at the scale GiHub runs at. nothing is really that elastic, and orders of magnitudes more traffic showing up very quickly is hard to get in front of. I've worked at extreme scale before and seen companies spend three months just preparing for events that will increase their traffic by 10% or 20% percent, which is nothing compared to what GitHub's facing now.

I am literally not prosocial enough to accept this. If my kin and every mind I like is wiped out, I do not care that some hostile distantly related carbonoids proceed to conquer the light cone on the clankers' backs. In fact I'd rather they perish too in such a case.

May a quintillion repos full of garbage no one will ever use bloom!
The busiest single repo on GitHub saw roughly a billion requests in ONE MONTH. Today, we shared how we’re rebuilding GitHub’s storage layer (without changing how you use GitHub) decoupling compute & storage so reads and writes scale independently.
Quicker pushes, pulls, and a platform that stays fast as more agents and developers code. We’re designing against some of the largest workloads on the platform so there’s headroom for everyone.
More below on how this works and excited to show you more at @GitHub Universe. 👇

I miss when computers computed, instead of talking and also taking my job.
Ah. YouTuber.
The most confusing celebrity on LLM Twitter is T3 Theo, who seems to be richly funded to do little but post things that make you hate him.

When I was a child I dreamed of a world in which P=NP. Now I would find nothing more disgusting.

Victorian Britain was so effective, that a country starting with 1/3rd the economy (America, 1836), surpassed her within two generations.
I dislike logging on and getting served the "LLM subscription usage-limits discourse" TL.
So I think this is completely false. There is a claim that is made that somehow, the BARC/EA crowd has had uniquely good predictive ability when it comes to AI. However, when you carefully examine it, other people have predicted similar, correct things, without predicting similar risks, and this crowd has predicted many things that have not happened, and that tends to be swept under the rug.
