I dont know anything about the locations of any offices, but could it he that openAI just didnt have any local places? Asking them why not all worked ld be a good journalist question

But otoh it is just two three of them, and the second ones photo gives off a weird vibe. Why is he smiling like it is a joke?

Yeah the god argument is wat invalidates it for me, then it no longer is an ancestor/rescue simulation, it is just a simulation thought experiment where everything goes. I’m basically trying to point out a motte/bailey here. Where they make arguments for specific simulation stuff where it is convenient for them, but as soon as there is pushback it is ‘but they have the power of gods’.

It gets even worse, as under our computing paradigm, you can’t properly make simulations of the whole world, it is too computationally expensive. But, the ‘real’ people being simulated are people working in those fields (because lets be honest, it isn’t violinists making these arguments, not the people the 4channers are claiming are real). Which means their simulation is useless, as the simulation is incorrect in their important work. It is like simulating newton, but instead of in gravity he lives in a space station without gravity. It is no longer a proper simulation of the man, it is just some weird experiment, and well, now the simgods can do anything and we can’t say anything useful about anything so it all falls apart into mental masturbation. Cops and robbers for adults ‘no you can’t shoot me I have a forcefield’.

E: wanted to look for a proper definition of ‘rescue simulation’ as now I’m running on half remembered sentences and vibes, so I looked into r/SimulationTheory/ and just looking at the subjects of the posts made me sad and made me realize how many people are going to lose a lot of their grip on reality. Hope they can come back (not everybody of course, look at the replies here to ‘chatgpt confirms sim theory’)

But then it wouldn’t be a proper simulation for those people being saved. This is the level of historical of a Ridley Scott movie.

Might also want to link the sneerclub thread on it there if you have it handy, I think it explained a few references and things, at least from what I can tell this take is very tongue in cheek, but I do not know enough about the subject to talk about it.

More vibe coding wins in the wild. Soon we will be out of a job here.

I don’t know the guys behind it, just repeating what others have heard. I’d have included a source if I had one sorry.

Small point, but I heard nitter is run by chuds, xcancel is better.

E: I always get clowdstrike and cloudflare confused, which were the ones who protected the nazis again and which ones were the ones who took down the internet for a day? ;) (Ha, the last page even leaves out this incident)

But compared to the anti piracy fines for sharing music from decades ago it is pretty low.

Saw people suggest it was because the judge doesnt want to kill the goose that is laying pyrite eggs.

Iirc he was also on the forbes 30 under 30 list. Making that list more and more a list of people to avoid.

e: https://www.forbes.com/profile/edward-saatchi/ there he is, with the 30 icon. Strangely empty profile.

96% accuracy. So… unusable. That is an extremely high rate of failure.

Imagine how often it triggers on just people talking about hearts of iron 4 alone.

E: read more about it:

we achieved a 94.8% detection rate for nuclear weapons queries and zero false positives

‘zero false positives’ Sure bud.

Only noticed it when I realized I had not closed the tab, but there are several comment under that article telling the author to kill himself. Over a dumb art project.

The more you read the worse it gets. And sadly, no all these manosphere dweebs write like this.

(A lot of them also credit Heartiste, which is why his popularity, enough for Scott to publish the anti-heartiste faq, which he didnt write. Was such a bad sign. (Also the guy is a neo-nazi racist, openly hated black and jewish people)).

Edit: And from Hugos blog: (source: https://profhugodegaris.wordpress.com/masctemp/)

“With a video you get not only the content, but can also see the emotion behind the content. Initially I only put up a video link to YouTube, but since the CEO of YouTube is a Jewish feminazi who censors and even terminates whole masculist and MGTOW video channels”

Look anti-Semitism. The fucker.

Ah yes, im a classical liberal of the style of Locke how he thought about slavery, that kind of classical stuff.

I didnt know anything about him, not even who he was, but DuckDuckGo search suggestions suggested I search for him and mgtow, so the search engine knew. First link shows he isn’t mgtow, he is a masculinist. https://profhugodegaris.wordpress.com/masculisting-the-mgtows/

His wikipage on his beliefs is wild. Legit beliefs skynet or eclipse phases TITANs will attack.

Quote from his site a free book he provides: “MASCULISM : Men’s Rebellion Against Being Manslaves to Women, An e-Textbook of 370+ Masculist Flyers for Men’s Studies Courses””

Manslaves rise up you have nothing to lose but your money in the divorce as half your stuff was hers anyway.

Yeah Im not totally sure it was that song, but it was a neonazi/nazi song, and he was ejected very fast by the bartenders.

Populist groups pull that shit a lot. Wilders also keeps claiming we should all do what he wants because people voted for him (a scary and depressingly large group, but not a total majority). It is a way of trying to get more democratic power behind you than you should really have looking at the democratic support you have alone at least in the case of politics. It also is often just delusional.

I recall a neo-nazi guy being kicked from a bar once while he loudly (and alone, the whole place fell silent, was a massive vibe shift) started to sing what I think was the horst wessel song (I was not familiar with the song at the time, so this is my guess), and while he was being kicked out he shouted that everybody else agreed with him and was just afraid to say it. Whole group of metalheads/etc like that suddenly silent and a vibe of ‘something shit is going down’. Was a weird moment.

Yes, I posted it here so we can all pretend to be shocked a bit.

Not totally in our wheelhouse, but seems like the Abundance movements has a bit of a right wing speaker problem: https://bsky.app/profile/therealbrent.bsky.social/post/3lxzn3lxqo22b

that “90%” of the audience was “on [Tucker’s] side” but had been unwilling to admit it.

Why are transphobes always this full of shit. Polls always disagree with this, and it cant be ‘people are afraid to speak out out of fear’, as there seem to be very little consequences to just being a lowkey transphobe. Hell even raging transphobes who stalk people, assault kids, and call for violence in what can only be called a life destroying obsession with trans people get defended by the people in power. There is very little reason for people to lie on polls over this.

Also dislike the focus on ‘trans women’ as these whole shitty arguments forget trans men exist. (This seems to be a general problem sadly, trans men, same as intersex people, or detransitioners tend to be only brought up like gotcha arguments, and not much to discuss the different problems they also face. Obv, I’m also doing that here, so I’m not immune)

Lol, like Musk could do anything like this privately, and not post about it on twitter.

E: unrelated to that, but Altman looks like one of the antagonists from the movie Aliens: https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2024/04/c1178b6b21888026dbd2ae9ba7e97bc8.jpg
