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.

I’m still waiting for even one argument for the usefulness of AI image generation that isn’t fucked up. Just one.
Grok seems so support nudity and deepfakes too according to some news articles I’ve seen because of course nothing screams more free speech than plastering the face of your favorite actor or political opponent into a porn scene, so now let’s see how long it takes the first bluecheck fucker to try and create CSAM with it, because I suppose that’ll be the point when it gets too hot even for Elon.
I'm banking on the primary use case being "getting Elon sued into oblivion by Disney" .
...I mean yeah that's a pretty obvious use case - if Elon's given you a checkmark against your will, might as well use the benefits to cause him as much grief as possible.
(Also, loved your series on Devs - any idea when the final part's gonna release? Seems its gotten hit with some major delays.)
Oh no, the dangers of having people read your work!
It is coming, potentially in the next week. I was on leave for a couple of weeks and since back I've been finishing up a paper with my colleague on Neoreaction and ideological alignment between disparate groups. We should be submitting to the journal very soon so then I can get back to finishing off this series.
oooh, please link in c/sneerclub when you can
