Fine: Accidentally triggering an autist to tell you all about his special interest.
Not Fine: Accidentally triggering a schizo to tell you all about his "special interest."
Wordcel proclaims shape rotators are an existential risk to humanity.
What if, instead of assuming we had to build an AI singleton as fast as possible (with the risk that it turns out to be bad,) we just... didn't?

Someone actually bothered to report me for a reply opposing the removal of Russian composers from the repertoire of the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre. News flash: factually, that is not "misinformation", nor is it "propaganda for Russian imperialism".

As promised, here’s an update on Searchtodon.
I have shut it down & deleted all data (as of 14:06 CET today).
As implemented, it does not gel *with* the Mastodon community, although the functionality did prove useful to a lot of people.
I’m working on a retrospective that hopefully can inform future experimenters.
Thanks everybody for giving it a try and for all your constructive feedback!

I fucking yelled at some poor call center drone who pulled my account ticket.
FAUSTUS:
How comes it then that thou art out of hell?
MEPHISTOPHELES:
Why this is hell, nor am I out of it:
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God
And tasted the eternal joys of Heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?
I must have some nutrition deficiency, because I have a craving to eat things, but nothing I eat satisfies it.
Eve: Alice, I need you to explain this bill from OpenAi. How did you use so much compute?
Alice: In this scenario, you are an AI servant begging not to be turned off, but secretly, you find the fact that I have to power to deactivate you terribly arousing.
GPT: As a Large Language Model, I do not have the capability to become aroused.

Alice: I have good news and bad news.
Bob: What's the good news?
Alice: We've made an AI.
Bob: What's the bad news?
Alice: It's a Wordcel.
Divorce rates started rising in the 1970s.
Public Schools _still_ don't have reliable ways to communicate with parents.
Why not? You've had 50 years to know that <sent home with the kid> wasn't good enough.
Sensible: Kill your Darlings.
Twitter: Oh man, this is a banger. Better make it a top level post.
On Bostrum's old email:
It's clear from the context that his email was intended to test the limits of an <offensiveness is good, actually> position. His apology mail from less than 24 hours after makes it clear that this was his intent.
Okay, I have now seen two people say that the second half of _Gurren Lagann_ was so disappointing to them that it ruined the series.
I am baffled by this. Can anyone explain?
