They did do one on Yud, it’s hard to find and has an annoying amount of side chatter but it’s a pretty solid breakdown of the dude.

The episode is mentioned here: https://shatterzone.substack.com/p/rationalist-harry-potter-and-the

But I can no longer find it on YouTube.

Every TC article I’ve seen recently is furious jerking about how totally legal AI is and how it will finally defeat the copyright Great Satan.

Jibo, Juicero… it is possible to get one’s hands on one of Theranos’s machines?

Meta: reddit sneerclub appears to be open again. Is this an authorized action or has Reddit scabbed it?

I like that RGB LEDs default to flashing rainbow.

Full disclosure: I am one of the most prolific posters on /r/aiwars because arguing on the internet is my vice and it is an infinite source of people to argue with. The guy who posted your example of nazi shit has apparently blocked me, but I have absolutely seen it there in the past, albeit in a thread full of people shitting on the mod for not blocking the dude.

fair share of doomsday rats have sneaked in trying to co-opt the movement

There’s a group called “Pause AI” that is exactly this, EA funded (iirc) org trying to astroturf artists against AIart.

Setting up email and actually getting into people’s mailbox isn’t trivial.

Maybe the difference is that Rhysider is doing journalism and Zitron is much more soapboxing. I’m hoping he gets the rants out of his system early (or maybe confines them to his blog where they’re more than welcome) if he’s going to continue doing interviews, because there are moments where he injects his own opinion after a guest answers and it’s a bit awkward. His interview with the Onion guy was great, but his interview with the SEO wizard was kinda painful at times, even though she had really interesting things to say.

Rhysider’s editorial comments come off a bit naieve and even a bit childish at times. His good attitude is sort of infectious though.

e-commerce is better than the moon landing

Most reasonable PG fans

Judging by my extensive arguing with people like this on reddit they fall into one of two camps:

• Once bigcorp creates panicea AIs, they won’t need to pirate anymore because they will be able to ask ChatGPT to make all the movies and music they need.

• They don’t think that additional copyright protections will ever be able to touch Microsoft and can only ever hurt the little guy.

Poof, species extinct.

Gravity and Juiceros

Gravity is what allows a cinder block to replace tour Jucero.

Thanks for reminding me about Jucero.

Cory, who claims to be a leftist

I read one of his books and I gotta tell ya, his idea of scifi was ‘what if the people negatively impacted by DRM were oppressed minorities instead of just first world complainers.’

Suppose Universal et al. gets a precedent-setting ruling and slays OpenAI. LOL, LMAO even, but then what? What’s to keep the current entertainment cartels from making deals with Microsoft or the husks of the AI companies to rev up their own (now) fully legal and licensed bullshit engines?

I think it remains to be seen if you can train a base model without something as big as common crawl. A precedent that Universal needs to give you permission could also be a precedent that everyone must give you permission for you to scrape them.

I’ve been disappointed to see Doctrow’s reaction to the AI industry, to say the least. He’s spent so much time relentlessly campaigning against intellectual property that he apparently cannot imagine anything worse than intellectual property winning anything ever. I don’t think he’s a big picture guy, I think the internet just really likes him because at the end of the day he was popular on slashdot and he tells people that piracy is awesome.

That’s convicted fraudster sam, different sam. Easy mistake, you can usually tell them apart by the hair.

This is Sam “WorldCoin” Altman we’re talking about, I’m sure he assumes they can mine crypto with it.
