Amazing how that all looks like one of those sites from the geocities era, with sparkles/stars butterflies and unicorns and dolphins all over it. All it needs now is a under construction sign.

Yeah we would like to stop lying and cheating, but the number you see.

Every time they go 'this wasnt in the data' it turns out it was. A while back they did the same with translating rareish languages. Turns out it was trained on it. Fucked up. But also, wtf how are they expecting this to stay secret and there being no backlash? This world needs a better class of criminals.

Yeah lets hope Titan Invictus, and Industry Americus will be fine. Naming your kids after twitter statues, oof.

That he clamps onto fps/arpgs/easy to play tbs games and not a thing like factorio is also something. Hell you expect him, or Bezos to be hype for dyson sphere generator, but nope.

Yes you do need the space dlc for that, important to mention. ;)

There is also so much wrong with this, first his Poe2 playthrough makes any statements he makes about diablo weird. (dragging gear to inventory instead of just picking it up with a closed inventory (or prob using something like ctrl/shift (right) click, I only played up to d3) is so fucking weird even my mom wouldn't do it). Then, assuming there is no ladder which tracks region, dungeon and class used (I looked and first clears seem to be tracked via youtube, at least that was what a search showed me), there is a ladder for cleartime however (and Musk was high on that one for one dungeon (abusing bug (still counts of course, but bug usage should be disclosed for Gamer Honour!)).

So they (or more likely he did to try and impress his manic pixie dreams of facism girl) made up a whole category for him to be first in which is such a scrub move. (Otoh, channeling the silly speedrunner tomatoangus (the g is silent), making up your own categories for your own enjoyment is fine, take care of your mental health, and remember no feeling is final, feelings of dread, hopelessness or despair do not define the rest of your life).

I also assume that Felix is the person who made Polytopia, beating the creator at their own game is a fun thing to do, but usually not mega impressive, as developers rarely reach the skillceilings in their own games. (or the game could just be random enough).

What is also funny is what she doesn't mention. She actually beat him at Polytopia via an epic anime betrayal, which caused him to throw a massive fit (source also note as above that getting mad over this is massive scrub behaviour, and throwing a fit over this is not something I expect of people out of their teens/early twenties).

E: this skeet about grimes

It is also funny that the general hate Musk for a fraud people are now teaming up with the Gamers due to a shared dislike for Musk. He truly is the great unifier.

Going from, i will not make any more political statements to

I lean left on some issues, and right on other issues

Is funny, also which issues, come on be specific.

I remember boten anna as a tech song example

The issue is (as I’ve said before) that we’ve essentially created a computer program that is just as fallible as humans.

Id say it is worse, as we have more physical presence. We can think it rains, look outside and realize somebody is spraying water on the windows and we were wrong. The LLM can only react to input, and after a correction will apologize, and then you have a high chance it will still talk about how it rains.

We can also actually count and actually understand things, and not just predict what the next most likely word is.

But yes, I don't get from a security perspective people include LLMs in things, also with the whole data flows back into the LLM thing for training a lot of the LLM providers are prob doing.

 

The interview itself

Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

"No, I can't wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I'm too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can't you wash them?"

Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.

Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).

In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.

Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.
