    A prompt enjoyer does eschatology. Along the way he abuses mathematics, Ohio, and a chinchilla.

    You could’ve probably given me a good 80~100 rounds and I still would not have guessed that set of items

    And I’ve been watching these dipshits for a while

    (the first two I could’ve guessed/converged to within 10~20 I suspect, but a chinchilla? Fucked from left field, I tell ya)

      Especially for a guy named Sharma living in the US. It doesn’t take too many footsteps outside the Bay area for him to be in literal physical danger right now.

      He also less cryptically posted his plans and resignation letter. (Edit: memory lapse) xcancel version of resignation letter post. Tl;dr moving to the UK (understandably) and doing a poetry degree (I didn’t accidentally critique someone into quitting, did I?)

      Honestly, I hope he finds both what he’s looking for and also what he’s not looking for but still equally needs. For example, a personal perspective not entrenched in institutional ontological frameworks.

      Yeah, I can’t hold it against anyone for feeling scared and overwhelmed with what’s happening in America right now and fleeing. Hope he finds happiness soon

        on first reading I thought you were talking about a specific luna (who I shall not tag here) but who is definitely somewhat of a kinkposter

        still might mean that, haha

          He hasn’t even done a suborbital flight yet, has he? I don’t seem him being brave enough to even get as far as the moon, even assuming he’s healthy enough.

            If you accept the imho insane idea that a Mars colony is worth building, using Luna as a stepping stone makes sense. You can debug a lot of issues with recycling, growing food, low gravity, slow resupply etc. with a faster feedback loop.

            You could also technically do all of that debugging before you even get to the moon, though. Also has the added benefit of not dying if something goes awry.

              Anthropic doesn’t actually give a shit about any of the human harms created by the technology

              It’s always been like that

              but yeah it sounds like they got overwhelmed by all the shit happening in the world (there is a lot of shit happening in the world, especially in America) and left for their own mental health’s sake

              you’re right, Amodei and others have published a lot of criti-hype, shameless hype, and delusional anthropomorphization in the past few years. While i was looking for other examples of their bullshit I found this article which was published just after my comment, with a nice sneer:

              If Sharma has an angle here with his resignation, it doesn’t seem all that related to the industry he worked in. “I hope to explore a poetry degree and devote myself to the practice of courageous speech,” he wrote. In the footnotes, he cited a book that advocates for a new school of philosophy called “CosmoErotic Humanism.” Its listed author, David J Temple, is a collective pseudonym used by several authors including by Marc Gafni, a disgraced New Age spiritual guru who’s been accused of sexually exploiting his followers.

                  Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid.

                  Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

                  Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

                  If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

                  The post Xitter web has spawned so many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

                  Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

                  (Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

                  Have to get a new apartment, I did not understand that you have to apply via AI application screening now for so many buildings. I don’t know why it won’t read my statement from the credit union. I hate this so much.

                  Dear rentier class, maybe don’t force people to upload PDFs your bot can’t even open, swear to god someday you will make someone mad enough they inject some prompts into the files metadata and go from there.

                      Who's right -- AI optimists or AI pessimists?  The answer matters; it determines whether your daughter, now studying become an engineer, should give up and plan on becoming a sex worker for AIco stock owners; or alternatively, try to enjoy her short life's last years.

                        Iirc he even claimed he thought at times the world was a simulation made just for him. Im starting to think he isn’t in a healthy place mentally.

                        E: ow god he thinks you can cool things in space, because vacuum.

                                in follow-up posts he talks about how he’s broadly in favour of job automation, but has doubts our current government would be able to do that without fucking everyone over, he specified that “if it were a 1950’s government and congress I’d be more hopeful”

                                …so instead of proposing a solution like “protest against this” or “vote people in power who actually are responsible” he jumps to “your daughter should give up her career and become a sex worker for AI company shareholders”

                                with the Epstein shitstorm still raging, I would not be saying a damn thing about young women being sex workers for rich and powerful dudes

                                    Interesting first job your mind goes to there Yud. Might spend a little bit less time around people who regularly use the word goon but who never talk about the mob.

                                      He hasn’t even done a suborbital flight yet, has he? I don’t seem him being brave enough to even get as far as the moon, even assuming he’s healthy enough.

                                        2034 eh?

                                        I recently purchased a couple of decent red wines with the intent to age them appropriately. Vendor said 8 years was good, so I Sharpied “'34” on the label and felt really really old when I did so.

                                        Anyway, 18 Jul 2034 is as good a date as any to uncork one of them to enjoy. Marked my calendar!

                                          It’s his alt for people who want more yud spam, hence “all the yud.” From his twitter bio:

                                          This is my serious low-volume account. Follow @allTheYud for the rest.
