Fun story, so on reddit I got a reply on a 4 year old 'AGI is prob not going to happen' post of mine of somebody going 'has your mind changed now?' (and yes, I think it is prob less likely), and while I was amused at the start already (the only reason to ask that question is to think my mind has changed, are impressed by the LLMs ability to go AGI, which means you don't get what I think about it), then I checked their profile (their username already was sus to me). A hardcore redpiller who now spends their time being mad their LLM chatbot no longer accepts erotic chats.

Which is to say, the tabloid got the gender wrong, but only because some men don't get that women are people.

I have been achtually it was a stately homed, and stand corrected my bad people. I will start to drill oil to give.

Yeah, find odd how people dont seem to get that this llm stuff makes AGI less likely, not more. We put all the money, comute, and data in it, this branch does not lead to AGI.

Our local pro entertainment industry lobby group (the kind of group who gets thepiratebay blocked, Brein) is already succesfully going after smaller LLMs and datasets created by (and made freely available) over enthousiastic amateurs/hobbyist which breach copyright.

This might seem like a positive thing, but I doubt they will have the willpower/power/desire to go after the big ones. (And even then not sure they are the good guys here).

That 'uses an iq chart from a tabloid mag' thread reminded me how bad the Lw Rationalists are at Lw Rationality. It is supposed to help you be less biassed, but nope first google hit from a bad source and almost zero community pushback, because it confirms their bias about IQ, and the relative value of fields.

Wonder if it would be more 'die regeln sind die regeln', but my German is quite poor. I can understand it a little bit, but can't really speak it.

The incuriosity, not just in how things are, but also in how things could be changed, and even if things are really necessary.

Just 'regels zijn regels' shit. (Sorry living in .nl is great, it just has a few big flaws. Like people shouting 'regels zijn regels', who never apply those rules to themselves as well (it also amuses me a bit that this will look a bit like german so it looks like I'm doing a Godwin to people just glancing over my post)).

And in our moment of greatest need, they disappeared.

E: hope they just bored and stopped and not something worse.

Don't anthropomorphize, they are not alive, destroy them.

A thing which came under criticism here, as while this program is being set up they are also doing budget cuts on universities. So don't expect much from .nl here. Also our gov is a mess, more interested at putting up border controls (this year they caught 250 people, which they consider a big success for re-instituting border controls). So yeah doubt, esp with Wilders in gov and opposition at the same time.

Think Germany and the Uk created travel advisories against the US. ( As we the Dutch are mostly neutral cowards, 20% putins lackey, almost an American vassal state, and very good at ignoring the rest of the world, doubt we will anytime soon).

E: To make it clear this is quite horrible and unthinkable. The MAGA people are moving so fast and the opposition is doing so little (still hoping that like the last war it will be stopped at the courts).
