Good to see artists on the right side of history.

Jacob Coxon is not a researcher (see his Google Scholar) with any meaningful credentials in academic research. He was just a random young person working in the AI industry that happened to be involved with model training—this could be as small of a task as clicking the "run" script. This is just another example of someone fanning sci-fi anxieties for clout. There are existential concerns with AI, yes. But, the idea that AI will go rogue and enslave or slaughter all of humanity is ridiculous and not grounded in reality. Plenty of more credible AI researchers with Turing awards (e.g., Richard Sutton and Yan LeCun) have been clear that LLMs are a mathematical dead end for AI.

It's wild you think a thread on ATRL dot net is more influential to a person's political mindset than actual political happenings in the world.

They basically did this already. At the university I work at, NSF grants were frozen until a representative of the university had to confirm, in writing, that there was "no DEI" and no divestments from Israel. If the administration felt the university lied, then the representative that signed the dotted line would be held criminally responsible. They might just be doubling down or making this type of policy more permanent. But my impression was that this was effectively already happening based on conversations I've had.

Still a boring song but it was so much fun to hear her nail those A5s.

At least Biden made the list. He only included 34 of the 45 presidents.

And this dumb puta didn’t even bother making it on tiermaker.com?

In the very least, I’m hoping Ossoff coming out against Hassan makes Hassan hush about Ossoff being “promising” for 2028.

There is no way to ethically cheat, just like there is no way to ethically betray somebody. The fact that you are so allergic to this basic truth—instead opting to dismiss it as some form of kink shaming—reveals you are not suited for any type of romantic relationship, monogamous or otherwise. Go to therapy. Work to better understand yourself, then reassess.

Wow. An AI model, an algorithm designed to make you happy, agreed with what you said to it. That’s crazy.

Oh, how surprising.

I’m enlightened, so Shut Up and Drive without blinking.

Someone with an ATRL account, probably.

Finally, some good f***ing news.

This just might be the saddest thread ever posted on ATRL dot net.

This is argument is extremely pedantic. I’m a computer scientist that actively publishes AI research. It’s obvious what most people mean by “AI”. I don’t trip over myself when people espouse hatred for AI and rush to correct them that any algorithm can technically be classified as AI. In most settings, it’s obvious that people are referring to the features that are being shoved in our faces nonstop—the same features and brain dead investment that are leading to skyrocketing energy prices across the country. It’s clear people are not referring to the application of deep generative models for the discovery of materials for carbon capture. Don’t be difficult. It’s obvious what people mean.

I will never understand why people who actively detest Hassan Piker are so obsessed with him. Like, WHY did Gail give a shocked side-eye because Nixon does not know a Twitch Streamer..? It's all so unserious.

She does what Gracie Abrams tries to do but pulls it off really well. I liked her album a lot; Silver Jubilee is fantastic.

Rebel Moon came to mind.

No. I deeply value my anonymity. I don't even post on my personal IG.

This is so random and sad… She was so young. My condolences to her friends and family.

In no way should someone like AOC, Mamdani, Bernie, etc. answer a question by litigating the definition of "woke". AOC's answer was beyond stupid because it said nothing and somehow threw everyone and everything under the bus. "Woke 1" doesn't mean anything. Chronically online people have their own idea of what it means, but there's no shared understanding of it. Some think it means BLM; some think it means Nancy Pelosi kneeling on Kente cloth; some think it means trans rights; etc. AOC validating right-wing framing around progressive causes is a great demonstration for why I do not trust her instincts. She could have just so easily shot down the framing of "woke" as a right-wing distraction from issues affecting working Americans. It's amazing to me how so many of the Platner Left have defended AOC for chastising "Woke 1.0" because "identity politics bad" without realizing that Woke version control is actually engaging in distraction politics based on identity reductionism. People like AOC should focus on disarming the attack altogether rather than validate it. (Sorry if this feels directed at you. This discourse, in general, has been annoying me and I needed to vent a little bit.)
