…You know, if I actually believed in the whole AGI doom scenario (and bought into Eliezer’s self-hype) I would be even more pissed at him and sneer even harder at him. He basically set himself up as a critical savior to mankind, one of the only people clear sighted enough to see the real dangers and most important question… and then he totally failed to deliver. Not only that he created the very hype that would trigger the creation of the unaligned AGI he promised to prevent!

As the cherry on top of this shit sundae, the bubble caused by said hype dealt devastating damage to the Internet and the world at large in spite of failing to create the unaligned AGI Yud was doomsaying about, and made people more vulnerable to falling for the plagiarism-fueled lying machines behind said bubble.

Now we need to make a logic puzzle involving two people and one cup. Perhaps they are trying to share a drink equitably. Each time they drink one third of remaining cup’s volume.

Step one: Drink two-thirds of the cup's volume

Step two: Piss one sixth of the cup's volume

Problem solved

Long-term, I'm expecting itch to dive in popularity from this - they've nuked much of the trust they've built up over the years with this.

Found a neat mini-sneer in the wild: It's rude to show AI output to people

Two ferrymen and three boats are on the left bank of a river. Each boat holds exactly one man. How can they get both men and all three boats to the right bank?

Officially, you can't. Unofficially, just have one of the ferrymen tow a boat.

Caught a particularly spectacular AI fuckup in the wild:

(Sidenote: Rest in peace Ozzy - after the long and wild life you had, you've earned it)

Found a banger in the comments:

Hey, remember the thing that you said would happen?

The part about condemnation and mockery? Yeah, I already thought that was guaranteed, but I didn't expect to be vindicated so soon afterwards.

EDIT: One of the replies gives an example for my "death of value-neutral AI" prediction too, openly calling AI "a weapon of mass destruction" and calling for its abolition.

Managed to stumble across two separate attempts to protect promptfondlers' feelings from getting hurt like they deserve, titled "Shame in the machine: affective accountability and the ethics of AI" and "AI Could Have Written This: Birth of a Classist Slur in Knowledge Work".

I found both of them whilst trawling Bluesky, and they're being universally mocked like they deserve on there.

I don't keep track, I just put these together when I've got an interesting tangent to go on.
