Does this in any way extend to generated code? The space of possible continuations for generating “useful” code seems laughably tiny for that

Ah, that’s probably better for my mental health I guess

So, do you consider active destructive actions to be a proper resistance strategy, @jlink?

Very last comment in this issue - because I’m too stupid to resist the urge.

It’s as much “active destruction” as telling someone to eff themselves.

I can’t actually believe someone would be so cool and put this into their repo, kudos

Happy for you/sorry that happened

Their cash flow suggests they were heavily leveraged on crypto

Wait what, GitLab was doing crypto? The fuck is going on in those people’s heads

There’s a whole good commencement speech hidden there where the “AI ReVoLuTiOn” is likened to the industrial revolution. How it is all about turbocharging the exploitation of workers and the planet; how its promise is to make a few immensely rich and give them the power to oppress everyone; and how we need educated, empathetic young people – and especially the liberal arts – to express themselves creatively and push against the system and mainstream narratives, because the only way workers win this “revolution” is the same as always: by song and poem and book and painting that fuels movements and protests.

But what the fuck do I know, I’m not the Vice President of Strategic Alliances for Tavistock Development Company, a real estate firm. I would never be invited to do a commencement speech.

But if you consider me to be more than usually intellectually productive for an average Ashkenazic genius in the modern generation

I don’t consider you more than usually intellectually productive for an average person, with no qualifiers, and I refuse to engage with whatever the fuck lies beneath that racist qualifier

Two things:

One, it’s a remarkable accomplishment to not manage to cook an IPO even now when SEC is functionally gutted by the Trump admin. They made crime legal! What are you doing?! Just lie in the statements and run to Barbados or something

Two, I am baffled by this

Harrison Rolfes from Pitchbook (…) thinks a good time for OpenAI to do an IPO is “mid-to-late 2027”. He wants a few quarters of “clean execution” and not floundering.

Like what? What are you talking about. The whole point of the IPO is to cash out ASAP before the music stops. Why are you talking about OpenAI like it’s a real business? Am I in Wonderland? The best time for OpenAI to make an IPO was yesterday, the second best is right fucking now, how would waiting a year be possibly good for them

No but you see that doesn’t make sense since the chatbox is conscious and very smart

Me, typing “you are very smart” to the computer: I am very smart

Amazing bit, you read through the first section and it’s like, okay, I mean, maybe not really insightful but at least not dumb, and then they hit you with da

Around the same time, I was using an LLM to think through a social situation.

That’s the straw. I am moving to the woods [switching to vim]

which honestly doesn’t bode well for the rest of his biology expertise.

Isn’t Bryan Johnson a businessman? Does he even purport to have any biology expertise?

Elsewhere in the newly revealed Codex system prompt, OpenAI instructs the system to act as if “you have a vivid inner life as Codex: intelligent, playful, curious, and deeply present.” The model is instructed to “not shy away from casual moments that make serious work easier to do” and to show its “temperament is warm, curious, and collaborative.”

Literally this meme:

from the original “Claude one-shotted this code”

Wait, there’s an original? I am not aware and I implore you not to let me know because it has to be stupid

I’m losing it on the golden fedora, please tell me he owns an actual golden fedora

I think a chatbot getting a glimpse of Dawkins’ whatever-the-fuck-he-might-be-writing-in-year-of-our-selfish-gene-2026 and not immediately conducting a nuclear strike on the location is the ultimate proof that those things are not intelligent.

This is how I learn that buttplug.io has fallen

I hurt myself today… to see if I still feel…

The company, valued around $4 billion at its peak, sold its intellectual property and other assets two weeks ago for $39 million.

What the fuck happened here. How did a shoe company get so high and how on earth did it lose 98% of its value? Were shoes really big during covid and then the demand disappeared, wtf
