Seeing that, I too immediately thought, in popehat voice, "It's not RICO."

unsettling.

Indeed.

 

This is a real plate, not one of those fake vanity plates. The Sox may have the worst season in the history of baseball this year, but that's not necessarily related.

I think that he might share a social media manager with Jordan "please stop me from posting" Peterson.

I think that people have a really hard time conceptualizing compound interest rates. $10,010 invested with bit connect at their claimed rates would be $3.1 million after 12 months. But you get your "capital back" after 4 months?

The interminable length has got to have started out as a gullibility filter before ending up as an unspoken imperative to be taken seriously in those circles

Only in these circles could an article that AI can read to you in an hour and forty-eight minutes be clickbait for the paywalled "companion piece."

I went to the study, and that's the global market size for all sex toys annually, and just eyeballing another chart, butt plugs might be 10% of that. So butt plugs are around $3 or $4 Billion. On the bright side, unlike AI safety, butt plugs actually serve a function.

When I click a link to LessWrong from this board, I receive a malware alert from my home gateway (Netgear Armor). Apparently it's their AI text-to-speech bot.

Question - any concerns about this? Google isn't helping me much.

URL is https: // embed.type3.audio/

Searching their site tells me that this is literally a feature and not a bug.

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/b9oockXDs2xMdYp66/announcement-ai-narrations-available-for-all-new-lesswrong

TYPE III AUDIO is running an experiment with the LessWrong team to provide automatic AI narrations on all new posts. All new LessWrong posts will be available as AI narrations (for the next few weeks).

You might have noticed the same feature recently on the EA Forum, where it is now an ongoing feature. Users there have provided excellent feedback and suggestions so far, and your feedback on this pilot will allow further improvements.

 

This totally true anecdote features a friend who "can't recall the names of his parents [but] remember[s] the one thing he'd be safer forgetting."
