  • Her account is just another reminder that -- apart from race science -- nothing goes better together with rationalism than social cluelessness.

  • Clown v. Clown. This is about the level of discourse Yud deserves.

  • What about the git commit messages for the Microsoft PM who vibe-coded all these changes. Were they also accompanied by a "Co-Authored by GitHub" message? Because that'd be hilarious if they weren't.

  • McKenzie has got to be one of the worst writers I've ever come across.

    We will return to the other reason in a moment.

    <thousands of words of blather>

    We return from this flight of fancy to the indictment.

    <thousands of words of blather>

    Why? We’ll return to it in a minute.

    I didn't make it to the end, because I'm not going to waste that much time reading tens of thousands of words of fascist-supporting bullshit.

  • You and me both. The deluge of shitty AI slop code is never-ending. Unfortunately, software companies are going to have to start going under before anything gets done about it.

  • You thought software quality was poor before LLMs? You ain't seen nothing yet.

    Typical mentality on the orange site:

    I don't think I've read a single line of code I've shipped in over 6 months.

  • The back-and-forth between Gwen and LessWrong commenters is getting spicy. This definitely deserves a top-level post on SneerClub.

  • Habryka's all, "Dammit, why do you have to come here and remind everyone where the Zizians came from?"

    EDIT: This person also seems to have no concept of the finality of death, which might explain why the Zizians were so murdery.

  • Every day, HN users flag into oblivion anything mildly critical of the technological dystopia these tech-bros are trying to manifest. "Politics!" they cry. But Sam Altman comes along with an OpenAI marketing piece dressed up as a condemnation of political violence, and suddenly "politics" are a perfectly acceptable topic. dang has long made it clear whose side he's on.

    Oh, and I hope everyone noted how quickly Sam used this incident as an excuse to place blame on the reporters who published the New Yorker piece that was mildly critical of him:

    Words have power too. There was an incendiary article about me a few days ago. Someone said to me yesterday they thought it was coming at a time of great anxiety about AI and that it made things more dangerous for me. I brushed it aside.

  • He really is insufferable, isn't he?

  • Depending on your DNS provider, you may not be able to use archive.today without infinite captchas. I believe Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and NextDNS are affected this way. Google (8.8.8.8) apparently is not.

  • Shhh, don't tell him.

  • It is a much cheaper and quicker means of murdering a bunch of astronauts though, so it does have that going for it.

    There's also a better chance that Elon exits the planet sooner.

  • annieposting

  • That was quite the rabbit-hole.

    The whole time I'm sitting here thinking, "do these mods realize they're moderating a subreddit called 'cogsuckers'?"
