Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

If anyone finds pictures of the wooden unaligned AI effigy they should post them.

CW abuseThinking of Warren Ellis (yes im aware of the sexual coercion, and that the victims tried to work it out with him to make him improve and how that process has apparently failed, even if the people are positive. So be warned) Supergod again. Where various nations invent their own superhumans/agi cyborgs base them on gods/treat them like gods, and the world dies.

Sorry, which parts were unclear? I have a tendency to try and want to talk about way to many subjects at the same time.

Are there OpenAI employees who aren't already in a TREACLESian cult? That's the only way I'd believe them thinking that any cult rituals that their "spiritual leader" performs are strange.

@GorillasAreForEating Didn't know it had gone as far as executives leading chants of "Feel the AGI!" Explains a lot.

[–] swlabr@awful.systems 9 points 2 years ago

I heard from an inside source that the actual chant was: “Feel the LLM! Feel the AGI! Greg (brockman) on up, we’re OpenAI! Cool Runnings!”

He knows something we don't.

You are right he is a genius like Otis Eugene "Gene" Ray.

You reckon he knows how gullible his marks are? I’d agree
