I'm fascinated by the fucking size of that yacht and did some more research and found more stories about obscenely expensive boats going to the bottom.

Still feel bad about those missing though.

Scientology polycules with a Heinlein fetish?

Looking at the map of Singapore there are lots of islands around it (Singapore was probably chosen as a reference datum because libertarians like it and it's a big transport hub). Most of the islands seem to be Indonesian territory.

What or who are NSBM? National Socialist Black Metal?

Most people who buy entire islands in Sweden are evil as in they are very very rich, don't give a crap about the local community, and do dumb things like build giant pools depleting the scarce local water supply.

But if you wanna start a cult just snag a big ole house in the relative boondocks and have it there. Creepy cults in the country are a staple of mid-budget TV action thrillers here, so apparently they're everywhere.

Thank god I misread your comment and thought he had pivoted to AI.

RE: the recent discussion about Robert Heinlein and the origins of the word "grok", here's an archive link about him:

Apparently that's what the company wants too.

Although putting your progeny into a device named for a Reddit avatar is questionable behavior.

 

The wider community is still on Reddit, I wonder if there’s an interest to have a small alternative?

If not, what’s a good Lemmy instance for these things?

 

In a since deleted thread on another site, I wrote

For the OG effective altruists, it’s imperative to rebrand the kooky ultra-utilitarianists as something else. TESCREAL is the term adopted by their opponents.

Looks like great minds think alike! The EA's need to up their google juice so people searching for the term find malaria nets, not FTX. Good luck on that, Scott!

The HN comments are ok, with this hilarious sentence

I go to LessWrong, ACX, and sometimes EA meetups. Why? Mainly because it's like the HackerNews comment section but in person.

What's the German term for a recommendation that's the exact opposite?

 

[this is probably off-topic for this forum, but I found it on HN so...]

Yet again, the best way to profit from a gold rush is to sell shovels.

 

After several months of reflection, I’ve come to only one conclusion: a cryptographically secure, decentralized ledger is the only solution to making AI safer.

Quelle surprise

There also needs to be an incentive to contribute training data. People should be rewarded when they choose to contribute their data (DeSo is doing this) and even more so for labeling their data.

Get pennies for enabling the systems that will put you out of work. Sounds like a great deal!

All of this may sound a little ridiculous but it’s not. In fact, the work has already begun by the former CTO of OpenSea.

I dunno, that does make it sound ridiculous.
