They do need to ship a personal agent and I have confidence they will fuck that up though

Now when I skinned a dozen people alive to make a 100% authentic Leatherface outfit prior to going on a rampage at a summer camp, that may have been an atrocity. But! Have you considered that I was watching a genocide in progress? So frankly, obvious-final-girl, you should really put that gun down.

Solving AI and online gambling. Ok. If you want to do it, you must go to a remote, high-security building, navigate a maze with extreme air conditioning and huge arrays of computers with flashing lights that run programs which gradually drain your bank account but occasionally produce great riches.

It’s clearly very intelligent, with the ability to monitor everything about the ship’s crew. But it doesn’t. Makes me think there must have been some major privacy event in the StarTrek history. Something so bad that a computer that can remember your drinks order became a taboo.

StarTrek’s ship computers are fascinating from a privacy perspective. Picard has to tell the replicator how hot he wants his tea, every order. When an advanced alien abducts someone, the computer can instantly report “Lt. Worf is not on the ship”, but it has to be asked.

I went to a talk by qntm. I asked him about what fiction gets at the experience of LLMs the most. He said Douglas Adams with all the objects that can think and talk for no reason and sometimes you have to have a conversation with your elevator to get it to work today. Anyway my IDE is mad at me.

So weird who would have guessed that so many Free Palestine/Fuck Ukraine guys were violent antisemites!

sorry, i don't yet understand what happened on the plane to Israel either but if your kneejerk is that this is a perfidious Israeli false flag you are just absurdly cooked and you need to change your life

This definitely feels like something Enron would have done

Like if they actually feel that strongly, the incentives all point towards availing themselves of whistleblower protections (and a share of the fine collected)

Any auditor who actually managed to officially disagree in a 10-K with one of their biggest clients would likely find their career cut short soon after

It’s probably underrated that, despite the many controls in place to mitigate this, there is still a very clubby relationship between big companies and their external auditors. A lot of work goes into helping the client do what they want (even if you think they’re pushing the limits).

The inside baseball part that interests me is listing this in securities filings as a risk factor. Because if it ever got into Item 9 — “Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure” — there would be A Problem.

Like the baseline product is not “raw LLM” it’s “featuring Claude as The Helpful Assistant”

Yeah, people will inevitably project onto them. Can’t do much about that but we shouldn’t help them to do it. It’s also not simple because, at least the way Anthropic articulates it, the model that users interact with is already playing a character.

Jarvis is sort of a foil for Tony Stark C-3PO and R2-D2 are comic relief Funny enough, Data and the Enterprise Computer are probably the best to safely emulate

A big downside of the top AI guys being deeply influenced by sci-fi is that they don't realize that giving non-organic characters personalities is a narrative requirement and not much more. If Marvin was just an android and not the paranoid android, he would be boring.

this is not just work ethics for a lot of people. for a lot of people, working on machine learning is something more like a religious vocation. i think the hard thing to convey is how viscerally satisfying it is to get one more fact about how the Pile of Numbers Which Acts Like a Guy works.

Okay now I’m a little bit worried about the future politics of the cohort of students that spent a year in COVID school

I think there are some workplaces that could do well with many fewer managers but I don’t think “car company” is one of them

If I got REALLY rich, I wouldn’t tell anyone, but you might be able to tell (second actor following him holding a sign that says “Maxine Waters was 80 years old when she whupped this guy’s ass”)

If I got rich, I wouldn’t tell anyone but there would be signs (actor hired full-time to follow Michael Tracey while holding a sign announcing him as a proud rape apologist who harasses sexual assault survivors for fun)

Michael Tracey seeks an answer to one question: what if the biggest moron on kiwifarms proudly displayed his full name and face as he embarked on a pro-rape harassment campaign
