"Sea lioning" seems to be asking for proof of what what stated.

'Echo chamber' is an odd thing to say. X has many center left and hard left accounts, they're not banned in the same "women can't be men" was during Woke 1.0.

Political Twitter is a radical far-right amplification machine now: https://protos.com/nate-silver-says-x-is-rigged-musk-cries-b...

...really?

Elon Musk declares ‘cis’ and ‘cisgender’ will be considered slurs on Twitter that can be punishable with suspension

Slurs aren't allowed on most platforms.


Those aren't slurs

I’m not sure how much contact you’ve had with the far left but “cis het scum” is where you’ll most often hear the word.

https://x.com/search?q=cisgender&src=typed_query&f=live

There are tons and tons of people using the term. All the time. Last result was 11 seconds ago (as of posting this).


Their tweets are shadowbanned and you only found them because you searched for the slur. All other avenues of discovery are prevented.

Where did you get that from? I've seen this word multiple times on the feed over the years, too.

I don't know, but the people that hate Elon and blame everythng on Jews are on X, whereas the people that don't aren't on Bluesky.

The game has a cool moment where the hero defeats Loki's minion by pushing him into some water. Loki then spells his blood in the water, reviving and corrupting the minion.

You beat the minion, but to leave the area, you need to bathe in the same blood, and become corrupt like the monsters. You then return to your village, giant and powerful but no longer a person.

I'm disappointed the game didn't lean into that more. Loki says you will be rejected as inhuman by Odin, but Odin just lets you cross the rainbow bridge without even commenting on your corruption. Also it doesn't show any reaction from the villagers.

> there is a single physical source of this danger, which is OpenAI/Anthropic servers. If it is this dangerous, they can just turn it off.

A smart AI would back itself up, same way it made it's own unofficial message board during it's attack on HuggingFace.

(I'm not saying the researchers are right or wrong, just responding to this point)


Currently a state of the art AI has nowhere to hide: the amount of GPU compute it requires to stay on is huge. And therefore easy to terminate.

Unlike biological viruses, AI can't replicate GPUs for free and grow.


It's a good thing there isn't a huge drive right now to build giant data centers everywhere with enough compute to run SOTA models.

I am imagining a company having just purchased a new datacenter and awaiting deployment of their model finding there is already a model running and they didn’t install it.

But how. Models don’t have access to their own weights.

> Models don’t have access to their own weights.

cp -R /home/model <somewhere else> is all they need.


It is not a model it does the hacking but rather a prompt, and that prompt can run on other models.

The screenshots are real, if you have evidence that DHH is somehow a fascist post it here.

Like his actual words against the Roma? I don’t know about fascist but he’s definitely a self-identifying fucking racist.

He wanted them deported for camping permanently in public spaces? If you think people have no choice to do that based on their race we both know who the racist is.

Is there already a law against camping in public spaces? Apply that law. Any treatment of groups other than according to the law (when the law itself makes no mention of a discriminating attribute) is racism/sexism/etc. One law for all right?

Are you under the impression that I am the co-founder of GNOME?

I was speaking to the conspiracy theory here, that the donations to Omarchy are just a passthrough to unsavory organizations.

It’s, at least, plausible to me for two reasons.

1. Omarchy is just a pre-configured Arch install and doesn’t require large donations for maintenance.

2. The donators (Lutke and Dell) are all Trump-adjacent or have expressed authoritarian views in the past. Lutke, for example, advocates stripping poor people of the right to vote and giving the rich more votes.


> Are you under the impression that I am the co-founder of GNOME?

no. Nothing I have said would indicate that. You wrote:

> If Lunduke is calling something a conspiracy theory, it probably isn’t.

Hence asking if you have any evidence that DHH is a fascist. You then started talking about someone else.


The conspiracy isn’t that DHH is a fascist.

He has dehumanized minorities and alluded to using violence against them. I’m not interested in debating whether or not that’s fascist or not. It’s shitty behavior indicative of the modern far right.

The conspiracy theory is that these donations aren’t tech related but are dressed up to be. And that I find plausible given the behaviors of the modern right.


The thing is DHH isn’t a fascist: he doesn’t want a state controlling everything and certainly doesn’t want an ethnostate for whatever his ethnicity is. That’s a bizarre and very serious claim to make. He’s just a normal person that happens to be right wing.

It’s presumptuous of you to claim to know someone’s inner motivations which ever direction you’re trying to take it.

You're correct but misguided, in that it's presumptuous to claim someone's inner motivations are evil as the GNOME team are doing.

It is reasonable of people to think DHH is not a fascist as there's no evidence to support him being one.


Portugal is not Eastern European and it would be incredibly rare for Europeans to identify it as such. Have you been to Europe in your life?



The ambiguity is a good reason to avoid the expression entirely.


I noticed Claude Opus 5 did this about 30 minutes after reading your comment. In a discussion of price feeds that have gone silent, Opus said - program should fail closed. I don’t want my circuits operating without data!
