"Thank you to the company insiders who bravely spoke to me. According to my sources, the answer to "What did Ilya see?" is actually very simple...
People speculated that Ilya saw AGI...as if was hiding some conscious, shackled AI in the basement.

But reporting this out, I thought: This is not a horror story about AI. This is a horror story about humans.
Like in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the issue wasn't HAL lying."

"Everyone owes massive gratitude to ex- folks who are speaking out. It was refreshing to see @janleike 's thread today.
And by refusing to sign an NDA, Daniel Kokotajlo gave up an insane amount of money so that he'd be free to criticize the company. That's real integrity."

I usually follow anyone back and it's very rare that I intentionally unfollow a mutual, but I just unfollowed someone whose account I realized is primarily promoting grind culture. Absolutely not.

No, I do not have 12 working hours on weekdays and 16 more on weekends to "create wealth." Sick of this pervasive ableist, capitalist, anti-humane attitude.

"You SHOULD be able to--" no I shouldn't and I can't! That's the whole thing. Let me rest FFS.

Dear Google,

When I search, I am not looking for The Answer. I am looking for sources. A search that generates only answers will be useless personally, and worse than useless professionally for me.

What I would really like is an internet search engine that works. Google did that once. Then they focused on other things and used it for ad revenue and it became the new Craigslist.

It would sure be nice if Google would reinvent an actual internet search engine.

@bookstodon

Idea:

Bookstores should group fantasy with horror instead of scifi. Both fantasy and horror are purely creations of the author's mind; scifi is tethered to factual information.

If you need to group scifi, I'd put it with mysteries and thrillers.

@Uair @bookstodon

Having managed a bookstore and worked in several bookstores back in the day: the categories are extremely arbitrary and permeable anyway, books are released with multiple categorizations, and placement in an actual store boils down to management preference.

There will never be a final decisive categorization because that's simply not the dynamic nature of human creations.

2024: OpenAI releases a free virtual assistant with a weirdly flirty voice.

2025: Millions of men become emotionally attached to the AI.

2026: OpenAI threatens to delete your virtual girlfriend if you don't pay a monthly subscription. You must also buy her digital flowers or she will hate you.

@researchbuzz @wonderfox @lowqualityfacts We're already getting Google Sausage answers and it makes me furious. It's algorithmic promotion. You can't even get a proper boolean search going any more. It pretends it didn't see your quotes and minus signs. 🙄

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

Oh thank goodness, the renewal of my E-passport has been processed. Next I have to renew my APIT.

I don't know what they each are separately. But I need to renew them both annually by May 17 to continue practicing remotely in other states.

I've been stressing out all week waiting for the approval of the first one required before I can even start the application for the second one.

@samhainnight Oh no my real passport I dare not even try right now. I have a last name they always screwed up anyway, then I have been married with a hyphenated name and divorced since I last renewed my passport. My social security account chose to line break my name at a different place than my other documents. Also I was adopted by a stepparent and then changed my name in my 20s to get his name out of my life, so my birth certificate is yet another wrong name.

@samhainnight PA is going to "Real (🙄) ID" soon so I will have to deal with all these layers of passport/SS card/birth certificate crap soon enough.

I'm certain "Real (🙄) ID" was enacted for some ridiculous reason like immigration "reform" or some other form of racism. I guarantee it. Now it's a bunch of barriers.

My worst surgical living nightmare is a walk in park, compared to what children undergoing surgeries without anesthesias are suffering right now.

I had multiple surgeries in childhood for my polio paralysis. During one foot bridge surgery, I woke up in massive pain & was screaming from pain & felt terror upon seeing my foot all opened up with blood, bones & everything else showing. I was sedated again quickly but still remember that clearly.

are the strongest kids in the world.

Sometimes I wish just one Republican state would leave the US to found it's own country.

Just one, which could try out all the book burning, closed borders, fewer women's rights, religios politics, non-scientific medicine — so everyone could really see, what that leads to.

For years, politicians in Europe blamed everything on the EU, but I can assure you, when Britain left our union and became a country with considerable challenges, it crushed the EU blame game in many countries.
