"We’re moving towards this ‘one true answer’ world.

This ugly little statement has been true ever since Twitter started eating mainstream media personalities’ brains. It’s why I consider the modern chatbot to be a direct design descendent of short-form social media – it’s giving you Twitter with zero pushback or hate. Beware anyone who thinks this is a good thing.

plausible deniability… sounds like we’re dealing with real professionals here

You’re the second person I’ve seen this week asserting this without any evidence. That tells me that if a bubble like OP is talking about does develop, then superficial links to government labs on the part of company founders will be a big driver of it.

look at me, the thinking man, i update myself just like a computer beep boop beep boop

I have a degree of appreciation for Chapman because he was willing to more-or-less call out Yuddite rationalism as a failure and start to gently guide people away from it. But I also came to the conclusion that his whole project has never fully escaped the self-aggrandizement/self-importance inherent to the rats. That ultimately leads to the performative humility and “radical acceptance” that make so many attempts at appropriating non-Western religions to US culture ring completely hollow.

Broadly, the whole TPOT/post-rationality/meta-rationality thing still stinks like a bunch of people who thought advanced degrees and/or advanced technical skills would earn them a lot more compensation and social status than they actually ended up with, and are still dead-set on getting all that by hook or by crook.

better, or equivalent to, a mass defecation event?

I’m sorry, we finally, officially need to cancel fantasy TTRPGs. If it’s not the implicit racialization of everything, it’s the use of the stat systems as a framework for literally masturbatory eugenics fetishization.

You all can keep a stripped-down version of Starfinder as a treat. But if I see any more of this, we’re going all the way back to Star Wars d6 and that’s final.

Despite Mr. Davis’ commitment to verbose apologetics, his faith movement is based around the devotional practice of wandering around pulling spurious probability estimates out of one’s ass

A recent innovation on this practice, among the degenerate indulgence-retailers of the movement, is the posting of graphs showing hopelessly low-liquidity betting pools on prediction market websites

We have at least one major worked example of that in Scientology, but IIRC many of the rats are reluctant to even accept that

what in the world does any of this bull shit have to do with showing off your mid-tier Yamaha sport bike

I’ll buy that for a fully-depreciated H100 GPU

That’s good news! Mpreg rpf must rank almost as high on Big Yud’s evidence scale as serious nerd out-fighting blogs, so we’ll soon be able to move forwards with an official decision thanks to your efforts.

tl,dr; Thiel now sees the Christofascists as a more durable grifting base than the EAs, and is looking to change lanes while the temporary coalitions of maximalist Trumpism offer him the opportunity.

I repeat my suspicion that Thiel is not any more sober than Musk, he’s just getting sloppier about keeping it out of the public eye.

My velocity has increased 10x and I’m shipping features like a cracked ninja now, which is great because my B2B SaaS is still in stealth mode.

Yeah it’s satire, but effective satire means you can never really tell…

they seem to have trained on nearly everything you’ve ever heard of. especially a lot of Perl

This is profoundly hilarious to me for some reason. AppleScript, of all things, also seems suspiciously high on that graph. As does Pascal running neck and neck with Swift.

Open Anus Impossibly? My friend, this is nothing new, that site has been around for at least 25 years

This is just haplessly comical. The AI-generated sinister hijab lady, the attempts at algorithm-compliant YouTube face, the fact that they’re doing this instead of raising their kids (which may be beneficial for the kids in the long run…) Who do they imagine they’re convincing?

Australian posters: is this an appropriate circumstance to tell these people to “get a dog up ya”
