It’s on sight with all these fucks holy shit

I liked the part where the reviewer is mysteriously compelled to visit France while reading this novel, which is notably set in France.
I’d chalk it up to the LWer inability to a) summarise and/or summarise accurately, and/or b) LLM usage.
smdh for not welcoming vampires in for peaceful discourse and good faith debates instead
these fucks: "Don't make me tap the sign!!!"
the sign: "My final braincell fell out of my open mouth while drooling"
but I also still think superintelligence shouldn’t be built, because if we’re letting Sam Altman and Elon Musk dictate the “values” encoded into it I do not want to live in that world
Well, sure. FWIW most of us here are on one of two trains:
- "superintelligence" will never be built
- There is no clear path from where we are technologically that leads to "superintelligence," so there isn't much point to worrying about it.
Of course, there is something to be said about not wanting anyone throwing money at Musk or Altman because they've conned people into thinking we're on the cusp. But yeah, I would say most people here do not share this concern, just as no one should be concerned about a dragon razing their town.
One of my ongoing sidequests is creating a K-pop playlist of songs that describe the lifecycle of a bubble economy. I only discover songs through accident right now, so progress on this playlist is slow, but that means that I can store the whole list in my head. Here's the current playlist:
- "Golden" by Huntrix from KPOP Demon Hunters. "We're going up! up! up!"
- "Bubble Pop!" by HyunA. Self explanatory
And finally, I can announce a new addition to this collection:
Antifragile by LE SSERAFIM. Specifically, this is included as a reference to NNT's book and concept Antifragile. I think this is a good song to have at the end of the playlist to represent the economic analysis before and after a bubble.
OFC I am open to suggestions! They have to be K-pop though.
