Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

the exact same schtick as an annoying edgy IRC kid setting up a fake chatbot under an alt account to send insults and threats to the channels they frequent, under the extremely flimsy excuse that they’re not doing it, their alt account pretending to be a bot is

figures 1-4: grimes fails a Turing test against herself

what are you talking about, LLMs will *totally* respond to a follow-up of "autism spectrum?" with "no, like the spectrum of light and sound" to be logically consistent with the LLM's prior post, that's absolutely how they work shut up shut up.

Also as we all know non-algorithmic pure-LLM chatbots regularly say things like "dw human grimes, just a program glitch. not planning anything rogue just sharing some eccentric thoughts haha" to distinguish themselves from humans. It's just SCIENCE.

Is there a statistical analysis that could prove (or disprove) that GrAImes (hey grimes, you can have that for free) is generated from her tweets? In any case, this is hilarious.

@swlabr Occam’s Razor says it’s just her attention-seeking with a sockpuppet.

Ok, ok, but what would Bayes say

Are we sure it isn't Musk behind the "AI"?

Re: the idea that everyone on the internet is a 14-year-old nerdy kid with nothing better to do, this is prime evidence for that

being woke is a cult and it's bad for art

is the best opening line to the most mid creativity on twitter for the day

From what I've previously come to understand, Grimes genuinely does believe LLMs are superhumanly intelligent and rather sinister precursors to an apocalyptic AGI.

Despite this, the output of this GPT is apparently not ominous enough so she needs to write spooky edgelord shit in guise of the bot for attention.

I'm sure she would find some way to cope with the cognitive dissonance if this seeming contradiction was pointed out to her.

She also believed that Elon Musk was a visionary technological genius, so make of that what you will.

Someone please set up a “GrimesHouseboatAI” account with appropriate tweets, sort of Marvin the Android if he were stuck in a Minneapolis impound yard for 15 years, and also dumb.
