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.

Tickled pink that BI has decided to platform the AI safety chuds. OFC, the more probable reason of “more dosh” gets mentioned, but most of the article is about how Anthropic is more receptive to addressing AI safety and alignment.

Seems that I don't understand the english language anymore.

  • "tickled pink" is a saying for finding something humorous

  • "BI" is business insider, the newspaper that has the linked article

  • "chuds" is a term of online alt-right losers

  • OFC: of fucking course

  • "more dosh" mean more money

  • "AI safety and alignment" is the standard thing we sneer at here: making sure the coming future acasual robot god is a benevolent god. Occasionally reporter misunderstand it to mean or more PR-savvy promptfarmers misrepresent it to mean stuff like stopping LLMs from saying racist shit or giving you recipes that would accidentally poison you but this isn't it's central meaning. (To give the AI safety and alignment cultists way too much charity, making LLMs not say racist shit or give harmful instructions has been something of a spin-off application of their plans and ideas to "align" AGI.)

making LLMs not say racist shit

That is so 2024. The new big thing is making LLMs say racist shit.

tbh I've always read OFC as just "OF Course". Dunno why I never thought there'd be fucking in there.
