The long and short of it is motherjones discovered TPOs openly nazi alt.

A few more tidbits from this article on TPO's openly nazi alt:

Despite the many claims about his Jewish identity, Faliceer self-identified as a Nazi. “I’m Jewish and a National Socialist,” Faliceer wrote. He claimed in 2016 that some of his own ancestors fit the same mold: “My family were considered to be Edeljude [noble Jews] because we were some of the first German nationalists and Hitler loved Germany so he declared us Aryan.”

According to his childhood friend, Lasker was raised as a Christian and appeared to convert to Judaism in college. The friend found out after seeing on Facebook that Lasker’s display name was in Hebrew and discovered he had joined a Jewish fraternity. A second person told Mother Jones that Lasker’s parents are not Jewish and are of a Christian background.

They added that Lasker is a “pathological liar”

using their lingo and their crit-hype terminology strengthens them

We live in a world where the US vice president admits to reading siskind AI fan fiction, so that ship has probably sailed.

Nah, he's just talking to an LLM.

“I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”

And I don't think you can brute force physics in general, having to experimentally confirm or disprove every random-ass intermediary hypothesis the brute force generator comes up with seems like quite the bottle neck.

It's kind of the opposite, GenAI is downstream of machine learning which is how artificial neural networks rebranded after the previous AI winter ended.

Also after taking a look there I don't think lemmy.ml has anything in particular to do with machine learning, it looks more like a straight attempt at a /r/all clone.

It's possible we may be catching sight of the first shy movements towards a pivot to robotics:

Both developer kits, because it's always a maybe the clients will figure something out type of business model these days.

Also Microsoft spontaneously deciding that they will just turn vscode into free cursor can't be helping their prospects.

Why are people paying for it… is it only for some fancy editor integration so it sends off/reads back the code as needed?

Even the vscode socials are taking the piss:

($10 is the copilot subscription apparently)

Penny Arcade chimes in on corporate AI mandates:

I increasingly feel that bubbles don't pop anymore, the slowly fizzle out as we just move on to the next one, all the way until the macro economy is 100% bubbles.

Love how the most recent post in the AI2027 blog starts with an admonition to please don't do terrorism:

We may only have 2 years left before humanity’s fate is sealed!

Despite the urgency, please do not pursue extreme uncooperative actions. If something seems very bad on common-sense ethical views, don’t do it.

Most of the rest is run of the mill EA type fluff such as here's a list of influential professions and positions you should insinuate yourself in, but failing that you can help immanentize the eschaton by spreading the word and giving us money.

Grok find me a neoliberal solution to the problem of being unable to monetize your progeny by having your sons till the fields and your daughters sold off.

Also not to give this blather more consideration than it deserves, but someone in the comments notes that since he banned women from higher education, which severely curtails their economic outcomes, this creates a perverse incentive to only have boys that you can borrow against, which isn't that good for increasing the population in the long term.
