It's so embarrassing to watch upper-middle class (at best!) rationalists get their panties in a twist over Luigi. At least the right wing talking heads are getting paid, these guys are just mad he did things instead of tweeting about things.

Lots of developments in the UHC shooter case

  • They (probably) caught him

  • He's even hotter without his three identical jackets

  • He's a Thielhead

Not very happy with how this day's going

That's what she said? That's literally so much funnier than any of the memes

Not just physics, but the physics of the world. Which makes it sound as if AI and physics are fundamentally separate somehow.

Is BasedBeef aware that AI is already fundamentally merged with physics on the basis that it already physically exists? Just because your six finger, no light in her neon eyes gen AI waifu is 2D doesn't mean that the bits that comprise her are exempt from the physics of the universe. Really, what could that quote possibly even mean?

Is that a Henry Ford reference? Very clever lol

Oh man that is so grim

Kronvold, 38, was given an FKU test in 2014 before the birth of her second child, a boy, and again recently while pregnant with her third child. Speaking through an intermediary, she told the Guardian that on this last occasion she was told it was to see if she was “civilised enough”.

I think the real picture is the one depicting the man with a mullet, a receding hairline, a black eye, a more blacked out eye, and a body slathered in baby oil.

Art's value is determined by two measurable factors: prettiness at a glance, and ungarbled signage, artist motivations be damned. With this in mind we can predict other advancements in entertainment (all art is entertainment!)

For example, future pro boxing matches will be performed by rock'em sock'em robots in skin suits. They can score more points than humans. Soccer will be performed by restaurant server robots...in skin suits. Humans will still have a place in Olympic skiing and swimming so long as human pleather warps in water.

Is Google lacing their free coffee??? How could a woman with at least one college degree believe that the government is even mechanically capable of dissolving into a throne for Eric Schmidt.

 

Hermansson logged in to Google and began looking up results for the IQs of different nations. When he typed in “Pakistan IQ,” rather than getting a typical list of links, Hermansson was presented with Google’s AI-powered Overviews tool, which, confusingly to him, was on by default. It gave him a definitive answer of 80.

When he typed in “Sierra Leone IQ,” Google’s AI tool was even more specific: 45.07. The result for “Kenya IQ” was equally exact: 75.2.

Hmm, these numbers seem very low. I wonder how these scores were determined.

49

Ali Breland has written some fantastic entry pieces on the new right, including right wing anons and maga tech; now he has an article about the nooticers

Other anonymous far-right accounts have accrued more than 100,000 followers by posting about the supposed links between race and intelligence. Elon Musk frequently responds to @cremieuxrecueil, which one far-right publication has praised as an account that “traces the genetic pathways of crime, explaining why poverty is not a good causal explanation.” Musk has also repeatedly engaged with @Eyeslasho, a self-proclaimed “data-driven” account that has posted about the genetic inferiority of Black people. Other tech elites such as Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, and Paul Graham follow one or both of these accounts. Whom someone follows in itself is not an indication of their own beliefs, but at the very least it signals the kind of influence and reach these race-science accounts now have.

...And if it weren't for that one joke by Hannibal, Bill Cosby would be very uncontroversial.

 

This has convinced me more and more that the only possible way forward that’s not a dystopian hellscape is total freedom of all AI for anyone to do with as they wish. Anything else is forcing values

This dude also posts a direct link to a race-bait bluecheck two comments down, further cementing hn AI threads as downstream frog twitter.

I know this one might be stretching it a bit, but every comment on this post is sneer-worthy, every single one.
