Apothecary Diaries grindset

Okay, let's see how the slightly chubby sumo wrestler does on his own.

I'm about 25 percent into the article and this part seems important:

This is his actual plan: to halt all AI research, all across the Earth, and instead do genetic engineering eugenics for a generation. Pause AI, stop AI, slowdown, pacing the frontier, they are all smokescreens, rationalizations, or ways of watering down this plan. This is why there is never any real “after we pause”, or “we will unpause when”; this is the only actual plan, and the public front for the plan cannot say this because it is too stupid and too offensive to be spoken in public, except by Yudkowsky himself, who never stops talking and who is too ridiculous for anyone on the outside of Effective Altruism to believe that everyone listens to him.

I think this article is at least ten times longer than it needs to be. No wonder people are focusing on the stuff related to the headline.

That belongs in a museum!

Do they practice safe sex by having orgies in a Faraday box?

EDIT: about 50% into the article, the sex they practice doesn't seem very safe, sane, or consensual

We need a subsidised European* alternative to break the duopoly.

*doesn't have to be, but as an EU citizen I'd prefer if it was :P

It's easier to imagine a convenient bad thing happening than a good thing happening, I guess?

Do we have a c/lemmyirl?

That reminds me, I should try to set up a Bolt bridge for my Discord-Stoat server pair again.

I think we should push for NoAI statements on games, like on Itch.io. GenAI disclosures are great, and there will still be some slop peddlers claiming their games not to have GenAI, but this will require them to explicitly lie rather than merely refuse to disclose it.

Also, while I still think Steam is a pretty decent platform despite this, we should absolutely criticise Valve whenever applicable in order to make sure it stays that way or improves. (I think one other issue worth mentioning is CS:GO gambling or sometjing, feel free to bring up more in the replies.)

Thank you!

I guess a possible part of the solution could be breaking these problems down into manageable chunks?

"Think globally, act locally", as they say... and "locally" doesn't have to be a physical locale. It can be a fedi instance or a niche group of some kind.

Steam -> Library -> Milgram Demo -> cog icon above "Notes" -> Manage -> Uninstall

or you can use the uninstall method of your OS (IIRC, for Windows it's Programs -> Uninstall, for Linux you might need to look it up... but if you're using Linux, you probably don't need advice for this :P)

True, although I meant making steps towards making it easier for everyone.

And also setup a dummy network for them to jailbreak, with some reward hidden behind.

Give the nerds some enrichment in their enclosure :P
