Damn, had missed somebody did an effort post series on all these problems. What I have read so far is pretty good.

Imagine the horrible product they would have created if they had actually followed up on the oppenheimer thing. A soulless vaguely wrong feeling pro technology movie created by altman and musk. The amount of people it would have driven away would have been big.

You, a human can respond like that, a llm, esp a search one with the implied authority it has should admit it doesnt know things. It shouldn’t make up things, or use sensational clickbait headlines to make up a story.

I’m glad that messing it up is at least common.

Search engines also must wonder why I’m so interested in couches and coaches because I know which word I mean, I don’t always know how it is spelled. There prob is a nice mnemonic involving Vance and Waltz I could think off that would help me with that problem however.

Otoh, this does open up the potential for a headline like ‘Chatgpt sanctioned for using stolen cryptocurrency assets.’

I thought of the old sneerclub/ssc poster (def not a regular on the former, while a former regular on the latter) yodatsracist

Allright, let me put my ‘warnings for young demonologists’ guidebook to the side. ;).

Personally id not use disinformation as a tool. It is what got us into this mess, and you are also helping the actual goal of the flooding the zone with misinformation tactic. People stop believing in things.

Ah my bad, i always mess the spelling of gray/grey up.

If Penrose followed his trajectory from 30 years ago, he is now a radical anti AGI person but because he thinks human minds work on quantum effects.

‘nightmare blunt roration’ as people say. See the greyzone is also present.

I thought in modern US phrenology East Asians were smart?

Ow boy, yeah, the scientific racists usually admit the asian people are smart (or do better than the west on IQ tests) but that is usually followed up with some asspull on how white people still are better. Stuff like they are genetically inherently collectivist, lack creativity, etc etc. It is always funny to see IQ-anon people go ‘well western white still best’ while being really into race an IQ. (oddly rarely do they seem to mention that ‘it could just be that because higher IQ is seen as a source of pride in the west, Asian countries/China simply lie about the IQ scores’, as that would introduce a heretical thought about the sanctity of IQ testing). But yes, this is a very common pattern to see them go ‘acthually Asians still bad’.

No idea on the rest. Sorry I don’t speak their languages, so can’t really tell.

Yeah, that was quite a good post btw. I snicked again at the ‘new sources of porn’ and ‘James Somerton plagiarized.’ bits after seeing your link.

I had no idea thanks!

There is more than just the war came to them. The Ents are wrong in their ‘nobody is there for us’ assessment. (like the modern day ‘Entlike’ people), the Wizards were in fact there for them, that is why the betrayal of Saruman hits so hard. A wizard should know better, aka a wizard should be there for them to protect their neutrality, aka the wizards respected their desires to be left alone. I assume Gandalf, Radagast, and the blue man group didn’t try to recruit them on purpose. Also the Elves gave them the gift of speech ‘the cure to dumbness’, in fact in the previous war the area the Entwives lived was razed by Sauron. One of the powers of lord of the rings is that not all people speak with wisdom, but they always speak their truth. Treebeard spoke the truth the Ents believed, but they were not wise (a pattern often repeated in things various people say, as Bret Devereaux mentions here). (They could be read as the Dutch/Belgians in a lot of ways, even if they according to Tolkien were a Macbeth reference). Which all fits back into Lazerpig, yes you are an Ent, but it isn’t a positive thing, and the lack of selfawareness of what this Entness means is why your vid is so rough.

Being an Ent is like being like a Libertarian, deadly afraid of bears, “like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”(E: hahah) But think his heart is in the right place, he clearly has done more for Ukraine than any of us here I assume, just that the anti-antifa part of the video shows a lot of repeating rightwing sources uncritically (like the BLM in 2020 vs the statues shit in 2017 fuckup, time goes the other way dude, and there wasn’t a unite the left rally). And the weird US style confusing the democrats/the left/antifa as one big block. Etc

And yes, longer videos are fine, I use them a lot when im doing repetitive tasks which do not require my full cognitive load. Does mean you sometimes miss things, but that happens. It is entertainment anyway. And hey he is right on the Ent part in an other way, over 2 hours, with another hour on the cutting room floor, all to conclude that hobbits are not orcs.

Yeah, of course I didn’t expect him to be totally on my side, even if he mostly has his heart in the right place. (with a few exceptions, like the downplaying of the nazis in azov (granted, Ukranian anarchists did ask if people could focus less on them as the nazis there are not the main problem right now, which is a different take than ‘the nazis are not real’, more a militant neo-nazis we can deal with, but the Russian state we cannot etc), and the ‘harsher punishment for crimes’ shit). I had hoped for more. I had hoped my comment written around the mental health break point, would end up to be a total egg on my face, react before watching the whole video gotcha mistake on my part. Sadly it was not (also why I don’t go into the various issues the vid had after that point, even if the repeatedly shows his intention were good, just he is an Ent), but imagine if it was, imagine him going at the end, 'ow correction yeah the Daryl thing, turns out that was Tim Pool, did yall notice how much you went along with my framing? Do you get it now? Sadly it was not.

Isnt the money in volume in bitcoin quite low reportedly? I figure the exchanges can track that, but not sure if they release that data, which should show if this is real at all

Yeah the guy sucks incredibly. Always found it a bit glaring that there was no rationalwiki page on him specifically. But I have long ago decided that I will not start to help maintain a wiki on all these people (I already have an unhealthy focus on this stuff, that would just cross the line), or I would have helped out.

Ah that is a bit sad, I often link to Rationalwiki as it properly documents several far right people. (no idea about the people listed here, never heard of them). And seeing people defend/use the twg article is a bit sad. But I’m not going to repeat what what I said about that bullshit here before already. Anyway, typical Rationalism rationalization bullshit.

E: seems the problem is that RW is in a SLAPP suits allowed state and has little money. Of course the anti-RW people will use this loss to claim that RW is actually defamatory.
