People who struggle to find basic things via web searches. That is, before the somewhat recent ratcheted up enshitification

This is you: LLMs are good, except they are enshittifying search, which follows from the fact that LLMs are bad. But actually, even though they are bad, I know how to use them, so LLMs are good, actually. Normies are dumb and I’m better than them and it doesn’t matter if search is good or bad, normies r dumb and normies will never learn to google good which they can learn from me, a LLM understander who is very smart

I’m pretty fucking tired of seeing all the ads for computers with integrated AI chips. You’re telling me you made an RV for the virtual dumbass and you want me to pay for it? Fuck off!

Eeps: 90%. I have found something to disagree with:

Everybody loves Puerto Rican music (please get on this, you’re missing out)

I cannot stand reggaeton, so this is a no from me.

Eepy Status*: about 20% of the way through. This is all I have to share so far:

Bjarne Stroustrup? More like, Blarney Should-Shut-Up.

*yes, short for epistemic status. Don’t like it? Good, mission accomplished.

Edit: Eepyness: 60% of the way through.

This is a masterclass in tea spilling. So many shots fired at fucking everything. I am in awe.

Ah you see, the moment you entered the realm of numbers and estimates, you’ve lost! I activate my trap card: 「Bayesian Reasoning」 to Explain Away those numbers. This lets me draw the「Domain Expert」 card from my deck, which I place in the epistemic status position, which boosts my confidence by 2000 IQ points!

 

Just a lil tidbit of news of some web3 based company going away.

 

Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

 

Discussion on AI starts at about 17mins. The Bas(ilisk) drop happens at 20:30. Sorry if ads mess up my time stamps. I think this is the second time it’s come up on the show.

 

Don't expect a good or deep analysis of FTX or any TREACLESy stuff here.
