bup-pow!

where’s the rationalist smoking gun? or is that just The Argument?

Ezra Klein so centrist, he could both-sides a Moebius strip

ah but if you assume a perfectly spherical polity of uniform density in a vacuum at absolute zero,, klein will still be wrong

there’s this: https://nymag.com/news/features/ezra-klein-2014-2/

While Klein is being circumspect about the operational details of Project X, he suggests that breaking-news squibs could be very short and attached to constantly updated background articles, a bit like Wikipedia entries written by professional journalists.

can we kick aella and her friends out of perversion

yeah. The word-choice watermarking is an interesting trick for a paper, needs quite a chunk of text, will have a ghastly rate of both false positives and false negatives in real world fraud detection, and is evidently good enough for Gemini not to drink too much its own piss but not much else.

Short punchy writing? GO SHORTER.

someone who has crossed paths with the EAs previously sent it to me!

lisp went big in the leadup to the AI winter, which followed a lot of fraudulent nonsense that even the DoD would only buy for so long
