One the one hand that ani thing has the most cringe tone for a chatbot. "Secretly been eyeing your [blank]..." (Damn grok sounds formulaic) but otoh they are debating a bot. You can only do that the first few months you are online, after that you should know better.

You cannot simultaneously claim to care about the "declining birth rate" while also supporting AI "companions"

Actually eugenicists can, quite easy actually. (Repeating the word 'degenerate' and not getting this is quite something).

This is transhumanist

No.

Lol maintaining a wiki is so much work always much respect for people who actually try to keep one up to date and filled with good info. Of course the fraud thinks he knows better without having ran one.

He would have a heart attack if he had to write a complex mediawiki script.

A small taste:

Funny how when there is something novel it always a) already existed in the training data or b) doesn't actually seem to work.

Amazing how they all went from oh us poor nerds vs the jocks to bending the knee and licking the boots of the strongmen. see also YT bribing Trump.

Or, this is how capitalism has always worked. See Enron for example. And we all just got so enthralled by the number (praised be its rise) that we took the guardrails off. The rising tidal wave which will flood all the land, raises all boats after all.

The goal of capitalism is not to produce goods, it is to create value for the owners of the capital. See also why techbros are turning on EA and EA (which EA is which, is left as an exercise to the reader).

Dont worry about the number it will improve after the singularity.

It is a literal gateway to fascism imho, esp when people get into nostalgia for a time that never was.

And compared to nostalgia for mom n pop stores, this even is nostalgia for a mass produced product.

links to AI 2027.

In Dutch we have a saying (from a commercial, well done on the advertisers there) 'Wij van Wc-eend adviseren Wc-eend' (we from the company Wc-eend, suggest you get Wc-eend), which seems appropriate here. It is used in a sarcastic context when somebody gives advice with a clear conflict of interest.

Anyway, just going from the title, 'X is exponential' has been the pro AI cry since the singularity is near. (Which said, well individual tech follows an S-curve, but all the techs combined are exponential, and variants on that). All seems very hopeium, immortality is near!

 

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?"
