Not really any more insane than any other white-collar corporate job I’ve seen in my life

Spoiler: there are no actual dragons in either book 😞

This is always what you get when your fundamental belief is “capitalism good”, so no matter how close you get to “and the problem is capitalism” you can never actually get there, like in a crazy version of edging.

What I’m saying is that libs are philosophical gooners

“Engineering a Compiler” is a better read than the Dragon Book anyway

Every time I learn one single thing about how academia works in the USA I want to commit unspeakable acts of violence

I was thinking about ethics in game journalism in software engineering and I think it might be easier to create a whitelist than a blacklist:

What are some serious software/hardware companies that have NOT participated in the AI bubble? No AI nonsense in their marketing slides, no mentions of AI on their landing page, etc.

More recursion means more intelligence.

Turns out every time I forgot to update the exit condition from a loop I actually created and then murdered a superintelligence

On the other hand, I’m sure people are going to come up with excuses even for this by blaming the user, his mental illness, his mother or even society at large.

I mean, I am going to say it but not as an excuse. Should companies that supply these products be held accountable as the criminals they are? Yes. Is this all downstream from the fact our society hasn’t treated mental health as a serious matter, therapy access is garbage, all the while being a young person in 2025 is a hopeless string of horrors and anxiety? Also yes.

Torment Chatbot That Kills You is a bad thing to create, but also no one would be chatting with the Torment Chatbot That Kills You if society hadn’t utterly failed them beforehand.

… thank almighty fuck

I’m sorry but this is zero percent surprising like ye of course he is, he was addicted to anime porn before AI generation probably

That’s because we haven’t helped them achieve their full potential

Watch till end the third option made me choke on my drink it was way too funny

We should have a cognitohazard tag

Finally, after years of research, we have managed to connect the smartest Orca to a text-to-speech device! What great wisdom will those superinteligent creatures bestow on us? How can we solve our world’s problems?

Eat the rich.

… What?

Like take your billionaires, right, roast them and then eat their flesh. Burn their yachts too. We can help.

Don’t they just radiate animal magnetism

Sorry darling, but according to my game-theoretical model this discussion ends in my victory in every possible combination of moves, so can we just skip to the point you apologise?

Where… where are you going

I, for one, am excited, because this could be the ultimate bubble. Like think about it, crypto was shit, but at least it was vaguely a thing, like you could buy Bitcoin and order drugs through SilkRoad and you’d have drugs, that’s a material use case. LLMs suck ass but ChatGPT exists, you can go to that website and type shit and it will respond, it’s garbage but it’s garbage you can touch and smell.

Quantum has none of this. It’s ultimate vaporware, a technology that literally does not exist, you can’t have a PoC, you can’t have an early version that you’ll lie about being a “big step towards General Quantum Computing” or whatever. This is SV’s wet dream, can we make money from basically nothing at all?

I wrote this post quickly and without thoroughly studying what people have historically written on this topic.

I think that goes without saying on LW but glad someone put it in writing

Banning him just before the funny number too, oof

Nice, I petittion for this to be the new description of SneerClub just like that magnificent Yud quote was on Reddit
