Clown v. Clown. This is about the level of discourse Yud deserves.

What about the git commit messages for the Microsoft PM who vibe-coded all these changes. Were they also accompanied by a “Co-Authored by GitHub” message? Because that’d be hilarious if they weren’t.

McKenzie has got to be one of the worst writers I’ve ever come across.

We will return to the other reason in a moment.

<thousands of words of blather>

We return from this flight of fancy to the indictment.

<thousands of words of blather>

Why? We’ll return to it in a minute.

I didn’t make it to the end, because I’m not going to waste that much time reading tens of thousands of words of fascist-supporting bullshit.

You and me both. The deluge of shitty AI slop code is never-ending. Unfortunately, software companies are going to have to start going under before anything gets done about it.

You thought software quality was poor before LLMs? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Typical mentality on the orange site:

I don’t think I’ve read a single line of code I’ve shipped in over 6 months.

The back-and-forth between Gwen and LessWrong commenters is getting spicy. This definitely deserves a top-level post on SneerClub.

Habryka’s all, “Dammit, why do you have to come here and remind everyone where the Zizians came from?”

EDIT: This person also seems to have no concept of the finality of death, which might explain why the Zizians were so murdery.

Every day, HN users flag into oblivion anything mildly critical of the technological dystopia these tech-bros are trying to manifest. “Politics!” they cry. But Sam Altman comes along with an OpenAI marketing piece dressed up as a condemnation of political violence, and suddenly “politics” are a perfectly acceptable topic. dang has long made it clear whose side he’s on.

Oh, and I hope everyone noted how quickly Sam used this incident as an excuse to place blame on the reporters who published the New Yorker piece that was mildly critical of him:

Words have power too. There was an incendiary article about me a few days ago. Someone said to me yesterday they thought it was coming at a time of great anxiety about AI and that it made things more dangerous for me. I brushed it aside.

He really is insufferable, isn’t he?

Depending on your DNS provider, you may not be able to use archive.today without infinite captchas. I believe Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and NextDNS are affected this way. Google (8.8.8.8) apparently is not.

Looks like they’re using the standard blue/orange color scheme

Nick Land goes to Silicon Valley.

Fake journalist with AI slop avatar and slop credentials starts rising in Substack’s “politics” rankings, someone asks the Substack CEO what they’re going to do about it, and gets told to pound sand.

RFK Jr’s Nutrition Chatbot Recommends Best Foods to Insert Into Your Rectum.

Shhh, don’t tell him.

It is a much cheaper and quicker means of murdering a bunch of astronauts though, so it does have that going for it.

There’s also a better chance that Elon exits the planet sooner.

That was quite the rabbit-hole.

The whole time I’m sitting here thinking, “do these mods realize they’re moderating a subreddit called ‘cogsuckers’?”

I was unable to follow the thread of conversation from the archived links, so here is the source in case anyone cares.

Does anyone know when Dustin deleted his EA forums account? Did he provide any additional explanation for it?

I didn’t realize this was part of the rationalist-originated “AI Village” project. See https://sage-future.org/ and https://theaidigest.org/village. Involved members and advisors include Eli Lifland and Daniel Kokotajlo of “AI 2027” infamy.
