The Supabase homepage implies AI bros are two levels below "beginner", which I found somewhat amusing:

The Gentle Singularity - Sam Altman

This entire blog post is sneerable so I encourage reading it, but the TL;DR is:

We're already in the singularity. Chat-GPT is more powerful than anyone on earth (if you squint). Anyone who uses it has their productivity multiplied drastically, and anyone who doesn't will be out of a job. 10 years from now we'll be in a society where ideas and the execution of those ideas are no longer scarce thanks to LLMs doing most of the work. This will bring about all manner of sci-fi wonders.

Sure makes you wonder why Mr. Altman is so concerned about coddling billionaires if he thinks capitalism as we know it won't exist 10 years from now but hey what do I know.

I found this footnote from Sam Altman's blog amusing in light of your comment:

*By using the term AGI here, we aim to communicate clearly, and we do not intend to alter or interpret the definitions and processes that define our relationship with Microsoft. We fully expect to be partnered with Microsoft for the long term. This footnote seems silly, but on the other hand we know some journalists will try to get clicks by writing something silly so here we are pre-empting the silliness…

Bonus: He also appears to think LLM conversations should be exempt from evidence retention requirements due to 'AI privilege' (tweet).

Now I'm all for privacy, and this is a good reminder that 'the cloud' is not as private as maybe it should be. But clearly AI privilege is not a thing that should exist.

Dude came up with an entire "obviously true" "proof" that music has no value, and then when asked how he defines "value" he shrugs his shoulders and is like 🤷‍♂️ money I guess?

This almost has too much brainrot to be 100% trolling.

including possible effects on the protocols from issues like such as AI fuzzing attempts, to social engineering by AI's,

"You know those massive problems we already had going back decades? Well what if the same problems happened in the future but with the letters 'A' and 'I' prepended? Scary!"

through to how we deal with and approach and facilitate Avatars and Agents.

Gosh darn it don't tell me LLM hype is going to ruin the existing definition of "agent" already well established in web standards.

Alright that's it: anime streaming needs to return to fansubbing (note: this link contains a skintight anime bosom so don't open it in front of your boss unless your boss is chill)

The one human-written slop text I've read in my life was a textbook for a philosophy 101 class. The text was wordy and meandering to the point of being almost unreadable.

The whole department was corrupt though. The textbook was written by the dean, expensive, and was filled with exercises on perforated pages that had to be ripped out and turned in (no photocopies allowed, and hence no secondhand market for the book). The teacher also showed obvious favoritism towards Christian students and found a way to make the entire class about god.

So anyway that's why I never minored in Philosophy.

I have nothing witty or insightful to say, but figured this probably deserved a post. I flipped a coin between sneerclub and techtakes.

They aren't interested in anything besides "superintelligence" which strikes me as an optimistic business strategy. If you are "cracked" you can join them:

We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.

Now OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk's lawsuit with an email dump containing a bunch of weird nerd startup funding drama: https://openai.com/blog/openai-elon-musk

Choice quote from OpenAI:

As we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open. The Open in openAI means that everyone should benefit from the fruits of AI after its built, but it's totally OK to not share the science (even though sharing everything is definitely the right strategy in the short and possibly medium term for recruitment purposes).

OpenAI have learned how to redact text properly now though, a pity really.

 

OK OK old news I know. But this is a metal cover of a bitconnect speech that I found pretty amusing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ-Ayj-ht_I
