you can tell these sorts of guys run on intellectual ressentiment. somehow openai disempowering mathematicians empowers them. to do what? i don't know. they will wake up tomorrow and understand exactly as much math as they did today

Yeah. That line made me laugh. "Instead of powerful corporations teling you what to think you give US the power to tell you want to think'

Does science belong to an association of scientists?

"Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done" lol.

i'm not dooming, i certainly don't think they're guaranteed to win. but staging an all out assault on every flow of money to intellectual work is what they've been saying they intend to do, and they're doing it. it is really important to take them seriously

i tried running my posts by a comms team, but they told me my posts were bad and i shouldn't make them, so i don't do that anymore

demon core vidal:

i am again going to politely entreat on you to stop posting about any policy anything without running it past your comms team. as politely as possible, you are not actually capable of being appropriately objective, which you *should* be when talking about policy

aaron rodericks

Yes I've tried that and we then don't post anything. See nearly any post from the safety account as an example.
Users keep demanding policy explanations daily and then make up their own random stories when there's usually an objective and repeatable process on our end (since we train mods).

i looked the artist, Tassaert, up, and he's really cool. did a lot of paintings depicting the suffering of lower class women in paris. here's his painting depicting a starving mother and daughter committing suicide with coal smoke. between this and the sapphic erotica definitely some transfem vibes

remembering this. of course guys who have tons of money and are constantly getting jerked off about how moral and ethical they are would want to not give up the money, and instead tell a moral and ethical story

cspan: Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

i looked this up and found out hilbert thought anything conforming to consistent axioms existed. what the hell man

The divergence between both
thinkers in this respect is plainly revealed in the
following paragraph from Hilbert:
You write: …‘From the truth of the axioms
it follows that they do not contradict one
another’, … I have been saying the exact
reverse: if the arbitrarily given axioms do
not contradict one another with all their
consequences, then they are true and the
things defined by the axioms exist. This is
for me the criterion of truth and existence”

clicked on a the boys clip and i am finding out that stormfront being a nazi was a huge twist for some people

I’m amazed at how much foreshadowing StormFront had as a nazi even when I remembered some of the clues half of them i still missed.

uhhhhhhh yeahhh i guess you could throw in a few extra bits and a timestamp

Comment #7 August 22nd, 2026 at 9:23 pm Brian Slesinsky #6: Yeah, at least the watermark could include which model it is, and maybe a few bits of additional information. A timestamp is an interesting idea as well.

checked scott aaronson's blog because i had a vague recollection he'd been working on this with openai, and indeed he had a blithe, even triumphant post about how great putting "watermarks" in text will be. within hours a commenter is already realizing this would be really good for spying on users

So yeah, Anthropic has announced that it’s now watermarking the outputs of Claude, using a scheme based on Google’s SynthID, which is in turn based on the Gumbel Softmax scheme that I proposed at OpenAI back in 2022—as far as I know, the first LLM watermarking proposal, though far from the last one. I’m gratified that Anthropic credits me for this, even though I shirked my duty by never publishing a paper about it (by the time I sat down to write one, it seemed like the whole field had already assimilated my scheme and moved beyond it—AI just moves too fast for me!).

I wonder how often they will rotate secret keys? The detection algorithm could tell you not only whether it was written by Claude or not, but approximately when it was generated. Could they use secret keys for other purposes, too? For example, to try to detect which accounts are being used to resell their APls to China?

after hours of chatting, and emailing support, it just won't post the episode for unclear reasons, so we're switching podcast hosts, delaying the new episode on most platforms for days. just horrible. in revenge im burning their money on having the bot write essays while i watch YT

end of bot mesage: That's about 2,150 words. Happy to keep expanding, tighten it, or shift the emphasis — for instance, I could dig further into the media-ecosystem angle (Tucker Carlson–adjacent outlets, World News Daily, the Sam Harris comparison Helen draws) or spend more time on the race-science-in-Western-values thread with Roger Scruton.

me: great. give it another shot, and expand as much as necessary to cover all those additional suggested topics

swiped through the replies and compared to the average level of cis discourse it's like the athenian forum in there. speak it white boy

Even assuming a trans girl is necessarily larger and stronger than cis girls, which isn't the case, it would only be unfair to other girls if she's not a girl_ Otherwise, she'd simply be a large, strong girl, and they already have those.
