Honestly it’s probably most things we post

(like, largely it just bugs me where I know the name from (because being baseline horrendous at recalling names and then recognising this one is uhhhh))

shit you're right, I should search offsite (active) chats too

....why does that username ring bells in my brain

did it show up here somewhat recently? (I ask right before checking search)

(e: nothing immediately in search but I could swear I've seen that name somewhere in the last few months (and not in a good context))

sidenote

you have so many of these! it's amazing! are you going to publish soon? it seems like it might need a whole guide of its own!

moderately barbed jesting aside, a serious question: have you spoken with any programmers/artists/researchers/.... ? so many of your comments have "part of me feels" parts hitting pop-concern-direction things and, like, I get it, but. have you spoken with any of them? what were those conversations like? what did you take away from them? what stuck with you that you want to share?

maybe that means something like this should be a linkblog/{atom,rss,...} feedsite on its ace?

I'm curious, do you get paid for being a multiprotocol rss repeater?

in today's world? too many possible answers to that question

some UN-associated ACM talk I was listening to recently had someone cite a number at (iirc) ~~$1.5tn total estimated investment~~ $800b[0]. haven't gotten to fact-check it but there's a number of parts of that talk I wish to write up and make more known

one of the people in it made some entirely AGI-pilled comments, and it's quite concerning

this talk; looks like video is finally up on youtube too (at the time I yanked it by pcap-ing a zoom playout session - turns out zoom recordings are hella aggressive about not being shared)

the question I asked was:

To Csaba (the current speaker): it seems that a lot of the current work you're engaged in is done presuming that AGI is a certainty. what modelling you have you done without that presumption?

response is about here

[0] edited for correctness; forget where I saw the >$1.5t number
