I thought about it, and I don’t think I have any real questions, first I hope your are ok. But that isn’t really a question. And secondly I was thinking about how a lot of questions I could ask feel more about me wanting to after a group I dislike than helping a victim out. Even a question like ‘Did their internal processes give you support and some justice at least?’ is answered by you coming here and offering this AMA.

So, the questions I more have is are you ok? And do you currently have a support network that is helping you out with things?

And for the rest I just think that if you feel like there are things you want to share you should share those (I think looking at your post you seem to want to talk about the harm reduction methods at those events, but not sure. Any important lessons we could take from that?) but don’t want to pressure people into that, and also don’t think I personally can totally do justice to the severity of situations like that. (which is of course on the problems with the discourse around SA).

It is amusing how all these genAI things still get stuck in loops.

George lucas has entered the chat.

Yeah the first AI comes in all nice and friendly but if you dont toss them out before you know it you turn out to he an AI bar.

(Also noticed that a lot of ‘I just want some nuanced talks’ friendly looking ai bros are not friendly at all when they keep getting pushback).

This reminded me of a few old comic stories were eventually the robot/computer was partially running on blood.

(One of them was a judge dredd one where they had vampire robots who iirc used the blood to keep a president in suspended animation alive. Snap, Crackle and Pop, it had a suprisingly wholesome ending for a dredd comic).

Think it is a geek/nd failure mode tbh.

I have also done something like that in some messy situations and it was eye-opening when people just told me ‘dude, I dont want to be involved, and thus dont care’, obv a bit different than this case (as the people here do seem to care), but it made me realize I was stupidly trying to explain myself to people and hoping that helped with the issue/emotional issues coming from that issue.

Hell part of this ‘people will see my side if I explain it’ is one of the reasons some instances got defederated.

Lol, yeah, didnt check awful for a day and this escalated. Well done on all the mods for keeping us informed what is going on btw.

What a great example of how not to react when caught in a controversy by the db0 crew.

Ow god vox day. That dweeb.

the phrase “magic dirt” sounds real familiar.

Same for me but also cant recall the reference.

Yeah I saw Galloway be described as, lets keep it civil, a big opportunist.

A quick glance at segfaults reactions seem to me like he operates on ‘if I just explain it enough to people they will agree with my side, and if they dont they have not properly heard all the facts’, and he (the dox people dropped seems to imply male pronouns) seems to really begrudge friends/people he knows irl for disagreeing with him. Which doesnt seem to be the most healthy place to be in in a conflict like this.

What a shitshow, always sad to see somebody have an online episode like that. (As an outsider I obv have no idea what is going on, and im not going to dig into all that).

How is this possible? We included ‘do not treat sarcasm as serious’ in the prompt.

Damn prompt goblins again!

Turns out sneerclub is the superpredictor. 10/10 on going ‘this is a bad idea’.

I enjoyed a different type of takedown than our more usual method of pointing out the weird nested asumptions.

it has become painfully clear that there is some sort of intrinsic value to the truth of the art, of the experience that creates it, to the backstory that connects it to reality.

This has been a thing for a while now already, even before gen AI in gaming that there often was, for a lot of people a preference to playing with others, as in various games any npc AI, or randomly generated events (like in skyrims dynamic quests) were seen as less interesting than real human interactions/created things.

Think this is a typo btw:

The argument goes that we’re seeing an exponential increase in the rate of technological development.

Also interesting to note that the evidence so far is at max N=1.

This is exactly what a white MtG main would say.

The top comments under the yt vid:

“If people like 47fu build it, everybody dies.”

And

When I saw Eliezer’s attire in the thumbnail, I was a bit disappointed. However, after listening to the first five minutes, I’m wondering how the hell he knew to dress so appropriately. Now I’m convinced he is a genius.

Unrelated to that, but is it just me or does Liron Shapira look weird? Did he use some sort of genAI overlay on his own looks, or some weird postprocessing something? His older vids don’t give me that vibe. The bowtie looks oddly floaty. (But can be that they always do that and I’m just not around enough people who wear that).

Looks to me he took the debate the correct amount of serious.

Cant IPO, cant AGI, cant ROI, poor openAI just the worst luck.

Fun how articles like these make goblins relevant for talking about AI again. Can’t stop the goblin! Goblin collapse!
