Honestly I am in that camp, but Facebook is kind of a special case for me. I don't really care about giving Google or Microsoft or OpenAI or Anthropic all of my personal data, but Facebook is a bridge slightly too far.

It would be pretty cosmically funny if truly demigod-like ASI is still speaking pure Claudeslop.

That is true, but I think within three years that will likely change.

Current LLMs couldn't write this. Ones in a few years possibly could. Betting AI will never be as good as humans at [X] is usually not the hill you want to die on.

That didn't happen with Fable 5.1 two days ago.

Did Dario Amodei say that?

Dario Amodei and Eric Schmidt seem fairly well-calibrated, although a bit early. Elon Musk is constantly way, way overoptimistic (perhaps to the point of willful fraud). Zitron is hopelessly and ridiculously incompetent (and there are alleg

I am fine with socialists who actually try to provide clear arguments and proposals. That's why I'm a big fan of Cassie Pritchard, who is ideologically basically a tankie yet who actually engages in rational discourse (and who agr

1. It is extremely likely neither 8chan /pol/ nor 4chan /pol/ were or are honeypots. 2. Untrue. I heavily used both (not as a right-winger; just as a decades-long anonymous imageboard user who sometimes finds it fun to r

I didn't completely read your reply. That's not what I'm responding to. I am critiquing the proposal of socialism as the answer. My initial complaint was answered. My new complaint is with that proposed solution. Socialism is

LOVEINT is likely highly undernoticed. I am unsure if I'm 100% anti-Flock, but requiring a court order or exigent circumstance to look at any Flock camera feed may be necessary.

The problem is that socialism actually is bad. Neoliberalism is a much better idea that leads to better outcomes, and is based on reason and empiricism and systems thinking. Socialism is pseudoscience, vibes, and cults of personality and id

Many people want to critique power rather than propose and judge concrete solutions.

I think a sufficiently smart non-competent developer can still do this to great effect, but it definitely helps if someone is both a competent developer, smart, and a seasoned user of LLMs.

Just because AI is not yet a god that is better than all humans at creativity and product decisions and design does not mean it is not a huge accelerant right now.

Spite cam actually be one of the most powerful motivators for productivity, in my own experience. I can buy this story being accurate.

I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, but LLMs can actually be a way to create even better things than those better things. I've seen it in action.

Sadly.

I believe it is unlikely. (Not because I do not believe NSA is hoarding 0-days, but for many other reasons.) I'm curious: to any professional vulnerability researchers reading this, what do you think?

Uh huh.

I think it is very unlikely LLMs are sentient, but even if they aren't I would feel wrong and bad to insult it. I can be blunt and sometimes say things like "all of this is terrible in 100 different ways, this is all broken and ba

The only thing more embarrassing than embracing personhood of 2026 LLMs is snarking "glorified autocomplete" for 2026 LLMs.

Please get this poem in front of Scott Alexander. I bet he'd enjoy it and maybe include it in a blog post.

Everyone I know, including myself, is simultaneously extremely pro-AI and anti-AI for this reason. I always put myself in the shoes of the reader when relaying Claudeslop. I either use it as a reference and write it by hand or make Claude e

They won't, because they can't. It's all just vague populist contrarianism.

No, because I do not work at an AI company. I am more just facepalming.

The Guardian's article and your reply here are so foolish and absurd that I can only imagine OpenAI employees are cringing but know they can't/shouldn't really say much.

It's just you. Fable 5 is consistently better than Opus 4.8 at literally every single level, for me. (I always use both at xhigh, for reference.) I could go down a laundry list of various issues I have with Opus that I don't have

They arguably might be, but I kind of want them to be!
