Nope sorry, just a bad attempt at a joke. Made sense in my head the first time, now less ;).

Tante.cc writes about Cory using an 'Drunk Uncle' style argument to defend his LLM usage (and go after the left using strawmans).

(To counter one of Cory's arguments, If disliking LLMs was just about the people who run it, people against it would have have stayed in sneerclub).

I was trying to make a joke (and failing) about how people misuse terms. Sorry about it not landing. Should have thought about it better.

Time to say 'Sneerclub was correct' a lot, so we can frontload the 'factcheckers'.

the Gen-Z men shut out by elite institutions often join their grandfathers and turn toward MAGA, or worse, into Groypers.

Iirc that is not as often true as people claim it is. But yeah, not gonna click unherd to see if they have a source. Because blergh unherd.

Not beating the 'this is just Christianity with the labels removed' allegations.

We are in the singularity this is so hard to explain to people.

Describes a normal thing, a think also talked about for several decades in science fiction now.

Amazing the singularity term has now been downgraded to "ai stuff that is hard to explain to laymen".

Thet think their incremental innovations are radical.

According to a site : https://apocaloptimist.net/the-apocaloptimist/

"An Apocaloptimist sees the trouble, but is optimistic we can do anything–including fixing all the world’s problems"

So if jesus wins the war during the second coming all problems are fixed.

(~~The thing is also nuts "we are the people actually working on fixing things [by hoping AGI will fix it all for us]", my brother in Eschatology you are running a podcast~~ sorry the guy is unrelated to the agi people theyvare just using his term).

E: does seem the site itself isnt about AI so they just stole this guys term. Nope they just took this clean energy guys term, sorry about sneering at him he seems to actually want to introduce clean energy and works hard (that seems to be a lot of conventions and blogging however, so buying ourself out of the capitalist problems) for it, as far as I can tell.
