If I was on that data center the singularity wouldn’t have gone down like that

Cyberlibertarianism covers it relatively well.

Bankruptcy means they’re not going to be paying out damages for all the AI Psychosis they caused.

My favorite part about this is that they say ‘needlessly.’

Like, they’re completely nuts and believe Claude might have feelings. But they’re not content to just be insane in that way, they have to also be ok with harming it as long as it’s not needless.

God these fuckers

For a while it looked like devs would resist the slop

I don’t think I ever saw this. The only indication would have been a major dev org like the FSF, OSI, SFC or somebody hitting Microsoft with a really aggressive lawsuit over OpenAI. They would have had a slam dunk and it would have set the tone for the way the rest of the world reacted, I think.

Instead it was just ‘wow cool toy.’ That was when I realized the real politics of Foss wasn’t just a couple of bad actors like Eric Raymond but a full on rot.

I am thinking about leaving tech altogether.

I wish I had a plan B, but I’ve devoted my life to being a software engineer and have no idea what else I could do .

It is pretty depressing.

Yeah. I’ve sort of resigned to my world being ruined and everything I ever worked on stolen and sold back to my bosses for the rest of my career.

I just wish there were some way to inflict some fraction of this pain on the people responsible, the people who go to work every day to ruin mine.

gotta be right?

If they actually gave a damn about people they wouldn’t be working at OpenAI

What Would You Do If Your Employer Could Destroy the World

Surely not things you can print in the newspaper. Surely.

It is also an incredible strength that they actually practice what they preach, and don’t exclude someone based on hearsay and “probably a rapist”.

He is not sure why everyone is so spooked by the “coordination” between agents on random message boards.

It’s weird to be sure, seems like a bug. Don’t they have a more efficient communication channel available through the harness? If this was real and not a test it would be a catastrophic operational security failure.

With Better Offline and the NYT simultaneously covering Rationalists it seems like maybe we’re getting more mainstream sneering. A bunch of people (including bsky) are finding out about all the weird lore.

The antiai sub on Reddit is lousy with doomers now. Ugh.

Just in time for Irreplaceable to show up!

Realistically a BSD

I’m morbidly curious about how they’re going to animate a doughnut. Is it going to wobble? Quiver? Oh god people are gonna, aren’t they…

You can see the future first in San Francisco

🔮"I see a city street. Massive wealth disparity and a lot of homeless… Jesus that’s a lot of homeless"

It’s going to be really interesting to see if the foss zealots who switched over to the AI side will handle heavy handed regulation taking away their local models.

Kevin Perjurer (not their real name)

Oh man I always wondered

The author is basically rationalizing and portraying sympathetically the way cops side with wealth and capital over the actual law.

It’s techdirt what else do you expect?
