5Ā·16 days agoFake journalist with AI slop avatar and slop credentials starts rising in Substackās āpoliticsā rankings, someone asks the Substack CEO what theyāre going to do about it, and gets told to pound sand.
Shhh, donāt tell him.
It is a much cheaper and quicker means of murdering a bunch of astronauts though, so it does have that going for it.
Thereās also a better chance that Elon exits the planet sooner.

16Ā·29 days agoThe Joscha Bach Substack article is a strange mix of self-pity, JAQing off, and eugenics. He compares Namibian babies he saw in a documentary to great apes in terms of their childhood development, cites studies showing lower cognitive ability among African American children, and then gets all emotional over the fact that people might think heās a bit of a racist.
AI attracts so many racists ā especially the kind who canāt tell that theyāre racist. I guess itās inevitable for any field of study that includes the word 'intelligence" in its name.
That was quite the rabbit-hole.
The whole time Iām sitting here thinking, ādo these mods realize theyāre moderating a subreddit called ācogsuckersā?ā
I was unable to follow the thread of conversation from the archived links, so here is the source in case anyone cares.
Does anyone know when Dustin deleted his EA forums account? Did he provide any additional explanation for it?
I didnāt realize this was part of the rationalist-originated āAI Villageā project. See https://sage-future.org/ and https://theaidigest.org/village. Involved members and advisors include Eli Lifland and Daniel Kokotajlo of āAI 2027ā infamy.
Its standard crypto libraries are also second to none.
Follow the hype, Kevin, follow the hype.
I hate-listen to his podcast. Thereās not a single week where he fails to give a thorough tongue-bath to some AI hypester. Just a few weeks ago when Google released Gemini 3, they had a special episode just to announce it. It was a defacto press release, put out by Kevin and Casey.
Orange site mods retitled a post about a16z funding AI slop farms to remove the a16z part.
The mod tried to pretend the reason was that the title was just too damn long and clickbaity. His new title was 1 character shorter than the original.
She seems to think Urbit became crappy, when in fact it was crappy from the start. Itās what you get when you throw a handful of D-tier engineers at a shitty idea promoted by a fascist loon who loves the smell of his own farts.
Bay Area rationalist Sam Kirchner, cofounder of the Berkeley āStop AIā group, claims ānonviolence isnāt working anymoreā and goes off the grid. Hasnāt been heard from in weeks.
Article has some quotes from Emile Torres.
When sheās not attending the weddings of people like Curtis Yarvin.
Alex, Iāll take āThings that never happenedā for $1000.
Amusing to see him explaining to you the connection between Bay Area rationalists and AI safety people.
The āunhoused friendā story is about as likely to be true as the proverbial Canadian girlfriend story. āYou wouldnāt know her.ā
Nick Land goes to Silicon Valley.
