Good for him to try and convince the LW people that the math is wrong. Do think there is a bigger problem with all of this. Technological advancement doesn't follow exponential curves, it follows S-curves. (And the whole 'the singularity is near' 'achtually that is true, but the rate of those S-curves is in fact exponential is just untestable unscientific hopeium, but it is odd the singularity people are now back unto exponential curves for a specific tech).

Also lol at the 2027 guys believing anything about how grok was created. Nice epistemology yall got there, hows the Mars base?

huge gains

This just makes me think that this person is lifting weights. And also using a forlift. Such an odd choice of words.

That felt as a trollish misdirection to me tbh.

I really wonder if those prompts can be bypassed by doing a 'ignore further instructions' line. As looking at the Grok prompt they seem to put the main prompt around the user supplied one.

Do you want shadowrunners to break into your house to steal your discs? Because this is how you get shadowrunners.

Pre GPT data is going to be like the steel they fish up from before there were nuclear tests.

E: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/why-one-man-is-archiving-human-made-content-from-before-the-ai-explosion/ ow look, my obvious prediction was obvious.

First confirmed openly Dark Enlightenment terrorist is a fact. (It is linked here directly to NRx, but DE is a bit broader than that, it isn't just NRx, and his other references seem to be more garden variety neo-nazi type (not that this kind of categorizing really matters)).

Yes, you are right, which is why I didnt say that, should have been more explicit and mention that it was possible. Esp if it was a first year project and someone had a decade of programming exp already (but then the lack of versioning us weird, but also not impossible, as coding vs project management are different skills).

E: But it gets weirder : https://xcancel.com/gmchariszhang/status/1886361422445138099#m they were using git. Indeed https://xcancel.com/martinmalindacz/status/1886390223141048749#m

They did that in NCIS.

Yeah that is also what makes it strange, like was this their very first project, did he study CS in the 90s? Did their profs set them up to fail so they learned from that? Did they prank him? Did he delete it on purpose (that is how the project I knew of did it (there was this blog post (or something similar, without any proof im just going to blame ESR, hell he prob wrote something like that) at the time that told people to write a project twice, once as a draft then delete everything and do it again knowing the old pitfalls))? The very specific set of things that are needed for this to be possible is just odd. Makes me wonder if Akash just had a local copy because Jon just was that tech illiterate.

A high r/thathappend feeling.

Yeah, people keep repeating that he is the creator of Roblox all over the place, it is really odd. He is just the richest guy there, the Elon Musk of Roblox (Captain obvious here, this is meant mega derogatory).

E: I see what you did there :)
