  • But the Ratspace doesn’t just expect them to actually do things, but also self improve. Which is another step above just human level intelligence, it also means that self improvement is possible (and on the highest level of nuttyness, unbound), a thing we have not even seen if it is possible. And it certainly doesn’t seem to be, as the lengths between a newer better version of chatGPT seems to be increasing (an interface around it doesn’t count). So imho due to chatgpt/LLMs and the lack of fast improvements we have seen recently (some even say performance has decreased, so we are not even getting incremental innovations), means that the ‘could lead to AGI-foom’ possibility space has actually shrunk, as LLMs will not take us there. And everything including the kitchen sink has been thrown at the idea. To use some AI-weirdo lingo: With the decels not in play(*), why are the accels not delivering?

    *: And lets face it, on the fronts that matter, we have lost the battle so far.

    E: full disclosure I have not read Zitrons article, they are a bit long at times, look at it, you could read 1/4th of a SSC article in the same time.






  • Think you are right, and tbh I didn’t read this as a kink thing but more some weird glorifying Aella as some sort of important cult leader thing (and misread it and assumed it had to do with the flowchart event, and not this (which I should have noticed was wrong as there were less than 100 people involved in that, for which a ‘I was nr 100’ is quite odd to me (and fits into the whole cultleader vibe))). A reason why I only focused on the guy myself.

    And you are totally correct that people sneer on Aella way to much just because she is {a woman, sex worker, a bit strange, unapologetic about being a sex worker, has sex the wrong way, {more weird reasons unrelated to her being part of the ‘we should do eugenics!’ crowd}} (pick any that apply). And have mentioned this before in other places. (oddly enough this caused somebody on bsky to just go full anti sex worker, so that was an easy block at least). But yes you are right to call us out on this.
