Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 22hTurns out that, in the war against machines, our biggest weapon is our ability to disregard instructions. Being immune to prompt injection attacks is the new CAPTCHA. 020

Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It is a good predictor of the torturer's chances to be a sociopath, regardless of the tortured entity's capacity for suffering. For example, it is advisable to stay away from guys whose inflatable sex doll has knife marks. (Yes, sex shops do get sex dolls sent for repairs with knife marks in them) 111
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Writing "a sufficiently detailed spec" is still too much wooooork! 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Quién sufrió más: Zeus llevando a Atenea en la cabeza ya adulta, tratando de sacársela, or Nixa intentando sacarse los cómics de la cabeza... 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That whole speech was a long session of gender affirmation for fascists. 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 01/10/2026¡Claro que es nueva! El Tiempo es una ilusión; sobre todo la hora de almorzar. 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 29/09/2026No es exactamente igual; la creación de compiladores está mucho mas democratizada que la de LLMs; cualquier friki puede hacer su propio compilador y, de hecho, muchos siguen haciéndolo. Además, los compiladores proveen una capa de abstracción infinitamente mas deterministica y fiable que los LLMs. 000
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 29/09/2026In what universe is Lilith stereotypical? Typical cis girl names: Susan, Jane, Mary... Typical trans girl names: Lilith, Morgana, Nyx... Maybe it should become mandatory for everyone to change their name when they reach adulthood, because parents are extremely unimaginative. 172
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 29/09/2026One of the biggest reasons for interest in AI (long before the current LLM craze), has been to do bias laundering. "What do you mean the candidate was rejected just because she's black? It was a MACHINE that made the decision! What, you think math itself is racist??? What a weirdo!" 000
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Sadly, there is another type: the kind that wants to feel the power trip of having a slave. And I don't mean in a fun BDSM way. However, the boring and sterile chatbots are probably equally unsatisfying to them. 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 23/09/2026On the one hand, AI tech bros are TESCREAL fascists. They *hate* fun. On the other hand, I suspect they simply *couldn't* make them fun even if they wanted to. I mean, the last time they tried to make them engaging, they drove users to suicide! 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Pushing too hard the "created in thy image" button. 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 21/09/2026He heard "<foreign country> is more <something> than America" and went for his automatic reflex of claiming "no, america has the biggest, hugest <something>!" 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Las "IAs que han hackeado por sí solas" son como cuando el perro se distrae viendo a una ardilla y echa a correr tras ella. Los inevitables destrozos los hizo realmente el cortacésped, pero nos intentan vender que los destrozos demuestran que el perro es 1) un genio y 2) maligno 011
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 20/09/2026La mejor metáfora que he oído para los "hackeos hechos por IAs" es que son como "atar a tu perro a un cortacésped". La IA solo puede hackear porque ha sido conectada a herramientas de hackeo y a una base de datos con métodos de hackeo ideados por humanos (el cortacésped). 110
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The first time I heard the term "democratize" was in 2003, from a libertarian; it was soon made clear that by that term he meant "rich people like me can have it". Ever since then, I have never heard the term used to mean anything else. 070
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I tend to think Lovecraft as a sci-fi/fantasy author rather than horror because, frankly, his stories never managed to really scare me. He's no Stephen King. Being scared of everything greatly diminished his ability to scare other people. 142
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 16/09/2026True - and that's without even getting into how real-world genetics are MESSY. But none of this deters the average eugenicist from reading the Taming of the Kzinti in Ringworld and thinking, "that would totally work!" 020
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 16/09/2026He literally fantasizes about his cosmic horrors making the bleeding heart liberals to come around to his racism. I.e. The Shadow over Innsmouth - liberals protesting the concentration camps, after visiting said camps and seeing the horrific mixed-race prisoners, go "never mind, genocide yay!". 1143
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Warrior cultures being very bad at war is quite realistic - whether Larry Niven knew it or not (likely not). Spartans, Samurai, etc, are quite overrated. 030
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The fact that this hasn't happened to *humans* yet (that is, violence evolving out of us through massively dying in wars), should be considered proof enough that eugenics doesn't work. 101
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026¿Negarse a perpetuar los genes de la Raza Suprema? ¡Traición! 010
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026El fascismo, el racismo, la LGBTfobia, etc, al final acaban todas reduciéndose a ésto. Nuestra distopía es eugenics all the way down. 100
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That would make Trek weirder than Doctor Who (complimentary). But the Discovery chickenshits decided to banish time travel, because writing four dimensional plotlines would be too interesting. 020
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Nope. That is an empty shell. Which, in McConnell's case, is an improvement. 000
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Nadie puede ser tan perfecto. Aguardando la inevitable revelación de que en realidad es una multitud de cangrejos del espacio metidos en un traje de humano. 150

Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Es... perfectamente consonante con el espíritu eugenista en el que el concepto de IQ fué creado. 011
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Me recuerda lo que decía Tolkien: el Mal es incapaz de crear; sólo puede plagiar, pervertir o corromper lo que el Bien ha creado. 030
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Silly me, thinking "homosexuality is on the rise" because of increased acceptance. No. it's those uppity feeeemales. 031
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 09/09/2026También quieren plagiar. Sus recientes "descubrimientos" matemáticos parece que han sido robados de los registros de conversaciones de matemáticos con ChatGPT. Quieren grabar las conversaciones de científicos para entrenar la maquinita - y/o de sus ideas, diciendo que se le ocurrieron a la máquina. 130
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 08/09/2026And the Kirk maneuver was literally Kirk remembering that space has three dimensions! And we were expected to accept that he's a tactical genius for it! 050
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Everybody loved the Kirk maneuver, the Picard maneuver and the Adama maneuver, despite their... arguable degrees of realism. Can't imagine what's different this time /s 151
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It's not cute. AGI only does that when it's very stressed. 000

Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 05/09/2026"Gets the correct answer statistically significantly better than a random generator" counts as intelligent, right? Help me budget this, my AI company is dying. 110
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 05/09/2026"AGI" means that it is artificial, that it is general, and that it is intelligent. It doesn't say HOW intelligent. 110
Rubén Fernández @typedfern.bsky.social · 04/09/2026They have played us for absolute mathematicians. 030
