That is pretty cool, less cool is that there is no option to read them without voiding my rights.

Lot of these people are really into science fiction, tech science fiction and tech workers and tech enthousiasts. For a lot of these people thinking you know better is the default, and if you remain in that bubble you do not get proven otherwise.

Sexists an racists have the same problem, which explains the overlap.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand ~~Rick and Morty~~ If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. (I'm doing a variant of this meme)

BREAKING: Police perform 5th anti GPU raid in as many days. Found another illegal weed farm instead. Is the tactic of checking for unusual power usage failing? Our digital AI of John McAfee expresses concern this might hurt bitcoin miners.

I hope somebody said: 'If we let Eliezer write this, everybody dies'

I have not read it, but the 8 gpu max thing is funny. I'm halfway there already. Worse perhaps, I'm not sure there still is a Voodoo Graphics card in a box somewhere (don't think those count as a gpu however).

And it is funny that microsoft will now be limited to 8 gpus. But your anarchist polycule commune with 10 people can have 80 of them.

Slightly related to the 'it is an op' thing, did you look at the history of the wikipedia page for clanker? There were 3 edits to the page before 1 June 2025.

The User may not use this Work for prejudiced or bigoted purposes, including but not limited to: ... Belgium denialism

Weird typo there, for the Dutch French border.

(I mean this as a joke btw, Belgians are super nice in my exp).

Due to the victims wishes (which I was aware of the time of posting), of this all not to harm EA, I have decided to delete the post. We saw it here and talked about it, feel no need to leave it around so it can spread to people with even less context.

It sucks how much time in tech is spend on 'sorry this tool we recommend before suddenly is no longer free, or removed some options (either totally or into the paywall part) so now we will have to look for something else.

Seen it happen to simple csv editors for example.

Check the guys profile. He took some random remark from Gwern indicating what looks to me like human interest, as some sort of commandment.

My first instinct was to dismiss him as an oddball—until a friend told me I was dealing with a legend of rationality. I have to admit: I nearly shit myself. His comment got more likes than the post I’d spent years working on.

Someone with, what, a 152 IQ wanted my accounts of surviving bureaucratic military hell? And I’m the same guy who applies scientific rigor to Pokémon analysis

Another sneer on the subject: https://bsky.app/profile/tef.bsky.social/post/3lz7fdou4uk2y

"In case you're not sure who dhh is, he's a danish counterstrike player and race car owner who writes essays like "i am smarter than you" and "foreigners bad"

rich enough not to worry about consequences but at the very same time, still desperate for status, a man two friends short of a podcast"

Followup by somebody else:

"I posted here about him driving at Le Mans in 2024, and several people told me that he’s disliked and mocked as much in the motorsport community as he is in the tech community."
