It’s not always easy to distinguish between existentialism and a bad mood.
Either the stupidity just metastasized or China is going to try and pull a reverse star wars on the US and make them burn up an even more horrendous amount of capital to keep up with nothing.

Not really. It’s a narrative that took hold early on to explain where the hell he got all that money without being connected to a visible business, and why he got a slap on the wrist the first time he was found guilty of pimping minors and being a child molester.
It’s certainly looking more and more like it was mostly a case of strong class solidarity among the ultra rich than him having had to force the issue.
How do these people delude themselves into thinking that the dogshit they’re eating is good?
They think it’s just that they’re early, like they did with bitcoin. Maybe in six monthsthe dogshit will start to taste great, who’s to say, and so on and so forth.
Also swengs in the USA often make absurdly more than 1K/week.

Twitter post from @BenjaminDEKR
“OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren’t careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking “is it daytime yet?” every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude “no, it’s still night.” Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How? The “Heartbeat” cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, (“remind me tomorrow to get milk”)”
Continuation of twitter post
“1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied “HEARTBEAT_OK” 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage:
Diligence is costly in executive attention, it is relatively rare that a major donor is using your acceptance of donations to get social cover for an island-based extortion operation
you see, the problem with Epstein was that maybe he made some sparkly elites feel unsafe after the fact, you see. maybe all those fourteen year olds should have just known better, dontcha think?

Either deliberately whitewashing the situation or completely missing the point of why people are mad at Epstein, Yud really can’t help himself.
edit: Or depending on the timeline and the fact that ‘prison time for soliciting a 14 year old’ was on top of Epstein’s wiki as early a 2016 he’s explicitly saying they didn’t mind that part with 300k on the line.
It’s possible it just means the responses aren’t vetted by a lawyer, and will be revised as neccessary.
I’m planning on using this data to catalog “in the wild” instances of agents resisting shutdown, attempting to acquire resources, and avoiding oversight.
He’ll probably do this by running an agent that uses a chatbot with the playwright mcp to occasionally scrape the site, then feed that to a second agent who’ll filter the posts for suspect behavior, then to another agent to summarize and create a report, then another agent which decides if the report is worth it for him to read and message him through his socials. Maybe another agent with db access to log the flagged posts at some point.
All this will be worth it to no one except the bot vendors.
Yeah, he’s the guy who wrote the Harry Potter fanfic
How did molt become a term of endearment for agents? I read in the pivot thread that clawdbot changed it’s name to moltbot because anthropic got ornery.
Rationalism, among other things, is supposed to cure you of being a piece of shit, in fact it’s such a flawless epistemic hack that it’s a common belief among them that it’s impossible for two sufficiently rationalist individuals to disagree, as in come to different conclusions about the same assumptions. So if you think some rat influencer is full of shit, it could in fact be you that hasn’t yet attained the appropriate level of thetans rationalism.
So yeah they’ll just have the superbabies read the sequences and Harry Potter fan fiction.
Also, any talk of alignment should be seen in light of them being mostly ok with humanity going poof by this time next week, as long as the stage is set for whatever technological facsimile of consciousness they deem reasonably human-like to inherit the cosmos.
It’s so blindingly obvious that it’s become obscure again so it bears pointing out, someone really went ahead and named a tech company after a fantasy torment nexus and people thought it wouldn’t be sketch.
A religion is just a cult that survived its founder – someone, at some point.
Somehow I doubt sneerclub turning out to be gigachad central is going to do wonders for curing their persecution complex, but I’m here for it, I even have a couple of (really local) combat sports tournament medals to show for from back in the day.
Self-hating nerd may sound like a quip, but he is pretty specifically painting us as tribe traitors.
Remember, for them, the male nerd is a vulnerable minority, and that they haven’t been granted protected status yet is possibly the greatest injustice of our time.
We’re basically supposed to be fucking up their chances for finally instituting a society-wide word-count based sex redistribution scheme by cozying up to the Man normies who think cults are bad and don’t appreciate race science.
CEO of onlyfans competitor manyvids possibly lost to AI psychosis
It’s a gizmodo summary of a 404 article but the latter is login-walled so
woo takes about quantum mechanics and the power of self-affirmation
In retrospect it’s pretty obvious this was central to his character: he couldn’t accept he got hella lucky with dilbert happening to hit pop culture square in the zeitgeist, so he had to adjust his worldview into him being a master wizard that can bend reality to his will, and also everyone else is really stupid for not doing so too, except, it turned out, Trump.
From what I gather there’s also a lot of the rationalist high intelligence is being able to manipulate others bordering on mind control ethos in his fiction writing,
There’s no good reason for male circumcision
Supposedly it reduces std transmissions and thus HPV caused cancers, which of course is neither here nor there with respect to doing it to people who can’t meaningfully consent, and also there are non surgical alternatives like condoms and hpv vaccines.
Female circumcision is usually butchery and completely indefensible.
Turns out even the paywalling is fake since you can still do the edits by accessing grok from other parts of the interface like context menus, you just can’t outright ask it in a tweet.
These are the people who come next election will be voting strictly according to an AI’s say so.
