Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Replying to @RichardHanania

I'm against legalizing bestiality because the animal consent problem hasn't been solved, but probably actually will be quite soon thanks to Al (at least for the higher animals with complex languages). So why not wait a few more years. I don't see disgust as a good reason. It was an evolutionary adaptation of the agricultural era against the spread of zoonotic illnesses, but technology will soon make that entirely irrelevant as well.

Why do I feel like this guy knows exactly how far a Scooby snack gets you.


How the fuck will LLMs help you flirt with Mr Snuffle paws? What is going on in this guy's head?

It's fascinating seeing everyone project onto this things. Like a rorschach test of desires. You have the madcap industrialist slavering over firing all humans, the nerd rapturists, the sexbot enthusiasts, the doomsday preppers, and apparently dolphinfuckers now.

LLMs are AGI, high intelligence is magic, so the AGI can not only understand language, it can understand the language of all beings, or if that is not possible, just uplift their intelligence and make them intelligence? How you ask? Well

you just gave me a great idea for a comedy show.

Nerd makeover except gpt is fed an image of the contestant and asked how to make them over. Contestant then goes to a mingle or speed dating or whatever. Using guidance from the chatbot on what to say and do.

Can we bait tech cultists into this?
