Wait why would they expect it to leak? (assuming that mentioning it isn't just some marketing stunt, which it probably is)

Don't they have their CFO not even reporting directly to be CEO? I would bet that there's a ton of internal dissent about timing and strategy of how to cash out.

This all reads as a very elitist and privileged perspective.

Dude look where you’re commenting

AI slop will absolutely kill any forum in which it proliferates. So I'm totally fine with it proliferating on LW.

Literally the only pivot to AI that I am happy about. Molly is GOAT

Came across this today: the purpose of a system is what it does. Based on that I would say the purpose of Claude was to make mistakes and get my coworker fired.

to be fair, the plan would have worked if you had included the allotted number of goblins in the box in addition to the packing material.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in that thread, not that the actual proposal is much better. Clippy isn't expected to determine the age of the subject of an image, just whether the image contains nudity at all (in practice, usually how much bare white skin is in the image). Then, before your device allows you to take a nude photo of any kind, accept a text from your partner, or view a Renaissance painting online, it has to verify that you have a government-issued cybersex license to turn the filter off. For the children, of course.

Judging by the current state of NSFW filter neural networks, I expect a surge in the popularity of novelty color filters for smartphone cameras, racialized porn categories, and furry art. Online grooming focused on niche enough fetishes will likely be totally unaffected.

Crazy taxi? In this house we remember Quarantine

Olay but this is good though. This is the kind of autism Lesswrong should focus more on. No bullshit, just the facts.

owning us with hats and logic

Oddly this reminds me of a weird thing. (Not trying to attack you or others here btw, for reasons that I will make clear in the end). When I was active in student activism, I recalled how annoyed our leaders of the group were that a small but vocal (and inactive) part of the organisations membership didnt allow the leaders to be people.

When they (after already working crazy hours btw, these people were committed), spend some time in the evening to wind down and make some sort of joke(*), the inactive members alway would start to send angry emails. 'how dare you make an internal joke while students have less rights/the uni isnt eco friendly/etc". I though back on how that impulse from inside to org was indeed quite weird. Esp as the people complaining didnt seem to be that active members. (If they were they would know how much work was being done and the strain people were under and how the jokes were good for morale).

Something to take into account if you see lesswrong people react negatively to the hat post.

Of course none of this applies tonus as outsiders who do not take them that seriously at all. It is a weird thing to make a long post about indeed, esp with one of the hats being one of yuds it seems? Im wondering if this lesswrong thing is perhaps more of a personality cult that anything serious. A well at least nobody is using the org as a dating hunting ground, that would be bad.

*: basically they would spend their whole day prepping for meetings with the uni/other orgs, sending out emails trying to get the members to help out, doing research and summarizing that for the members etc etc, and at the end of the day they send one internal email about talk like a pirate day, and the next morning they get 21 replies to their work, 20 of those people being mad about the talk like a pirate email.

We have already all died and been uploaded, but it happend so seamlessly nobody noticed.
