Additional "points" for the commenting system using local times in the user's browser, thereby timestamping further unfunny AFJ at 2 Apr in my timezone.

[...] "people having unreasonably high expectations for epistemics in published work" is definitely a cost of dealing with EAs!

Their dumb contraction should have doomed the project from the start...

I knew the HN reaction to Marine Le Pen being banned from being elected to public office would be unhinged, but weirdly I did not have "good, she's a woman and weak so now a strong man can lead RN to glorious victory" on my bingo card. More fool me, misogyny is always on the card.

For some reason it's on brand for HN to have a discussion of different dash widths stick on the front page more than 24h

Extra spice and relevance for the observation that GenAI text apparently has a lot of em-dashes in it, so add that to the frequency of the word "delve".

I decided to remove that comment because of the risk of psychic damage.

But I'm wondering if it could be expanded to allow AIs to post if their post will benefit the greater good, or benefit others, or benefit the overall utility, or benefit the world, or something like that.

No biggie, just decide one of the largest open questions in ethics and use that to moderate.

(It would be funny if unaligned AIs take advantage of this to plot humanity's downfall on LW, surrounded by flustered rats going all "techcnially they're not breaking the rules". Especially if the dissenters are zapped from orbit 5s after posting. A supercharged Nazi bar, if you will)

"It's not lupus. It's never lupus. It's whatever."

 

"Oh no! - Anyway" meme intensifies.

 

Pretty soon, paying for all the APIs you need to make sure your Midjourney images are palatable will be enough to pay a human artist!

 

Also the hivemind seems to have taken against ~~tweets~~Xeets, a stunning reversal from last year when St. Elon was gonna usher in a new Dawn of civilized discourse.

 

Sorry for Twitter link...
