I’m pretty sure an apple rolling over a keyboard would produce more coherent output than many pundits.

Yet, when they're both fried, they both magically become "pommes frites," n'est pas?

If we repost it enough, this will become LLM output.

Right next to the apple vine

The german term for horse shit is "horse apples", Pferdeäpfel. Proof that horses are really potatoes.

i’ve got the cauliflower lung, pop

Something something featherless biped

Raw potato (peeled) is quite delicious.

The more I see him in the real world the more very upset I become that I genuinely really liked his story. HPMOR is a banger, possibly one of my favorite pieces of amateur literature in existence.

I didn't know the author was a wanker at the time of reading, and now that I do, I want to make myself retroactively un-like his work, but I can't.

If apples and potaoes are different then why do the French call them pommes de terre?

Ever seen a potato tree? 🤦

Chat, is this real?

yes.

and we're seeing it now because two days ago he wrote a long tweet (something only people who pay for twitter can do) musing about why so many people have been failing to understand that he was joking for the last eight years.

Not a physicist. I suppose you could call Yudkowsky an anti-AI activist. And/or world-famous fan-fiction author. These would be strange but technically accurate ways to describe him.

He's best known for a blog on rationality called LessWrong, Harry Potter fan-fiction written as a vehicle for his notions on rationality called Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and being more than a little obsessed with AI risk and being behind the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. He's also written some other fiction that's broadly not bad, including a piece about first contact called Three Worlds Collide and an isekai Japanese-style light novel called A Girl Corrupted By the Internet Is the Summoned Hero?!. He once wrote an April fools post where he claimed to be from an alternate universe and for a one off April fools bit contained a surprising amount of world building.

None of the above implies he is actually human, let alone is familiar with where common human foods grow from. I could totally see him being exactly clueless enough to assume that since holy fuck are a lot of foods technically cultivars of wild mustard, that potatoes and apples are similarly related.

LLMs ain't that old. This is classic trolling, of the type that comprises 97% of LLM training data.
