Nice touch that the sister animation person is the backup emergency generator in the first one.

I'm just amazed they take the artstyle but nothing of the magical whimsy and wonder Studio Ghibli movies have and call it the same. A cartoon picture of Joe Rogan doesn't come close to anything from Studio Ghibli. Talking about missing the point. It is almost enough to start believing in souls.

Never realized it, but somewhere it is funny they have such a weird fixation on lovecraftian concepts. With Land looking a bit like Lovecraft if you squint. (younger nick land I mean because that isn't a recent picture).

Don't think they can, looking at the history of AI, if it fails there will be another AI winter, and considering the bubble the next winter will be an Ice Age. No minduploads for anybody, the dead stay dead, and all time is wasted. Don't think that is going to be psychologically healthy as a realization, it will be like the people who suddenly realize Qanon is a lie and they alienated everybody in their lives because they got tricked.

(from the comments).

It felt odd to read that and think "this isn't directed toward me, I could skip if I wanted to". Like I don't know how to articulate the feeling, but it's an odd "woah text-not-for-humans is going to become more common isn't it". Just feels strange to be left behind.

Yeah, euh, congrats in realizing something that a lot of people already know for a long time now. Not only is there text specifically generated to try and poison LLM results (see the whole 'turns out a lot of pro russian disinformation now is in LLMs because they spammed the internet to poison LLMs' story, but also reply bots for SEO google spamming). Welcome to the 2010s LW. The paperclip maximizers are already here.

The only reason this felt weird to them is because they look at the whole 'coming AGI god' idea with some quasi-religious awe.

Remember, cleaning up oilspills is good for the GDP.

At least he is using LLMs to blast away what is left of his critical thinking skills. If the effect is real he will be a vegetable in a week.

Yeah, they kid proofed the LLM or something (I didn't do that much digging, I just scrolled past some of their comments) and his reaction was, not literally mind you, fuck them kids.

Astrologers do strange discovery, a planetary system where all the planets seem to be made out of a strange liquid.

I'd assume in the fuckbot fantasy it cleans itself, and folds your laundry, and tells you did a good job. And hell, it also flies, fights aliens, makes fuck everybody money, and can go faster than the speed of light.

 

The interview itself

Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

"No, I can't wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I'm too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can't you wash them?"

Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.

Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).

In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.

Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.
