It’s impossible to stop returning to that steaming pile of dogshit post and find something new to sneer at:

As Delicious Tacos aptly put it, a Far Left phase is treated like a woman eating pussy in college, while a Far Right phase is treated like a man sucking cock.

SO? WHATS THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE YOU WASTE OF SPACE?

Holy FUCKING shit this cannot be real. No. He could not have written this.

My estimation of SBF as a wretch just fuckin plummeted.

Maybe it’s a sort of recency bias but I feel like the old CNN/GAN image generators produced far more visually interesting “art” than the hyper-realistic unnerving shit that today’s generative models put out.

someone re-invented email-threading. It’s billed as a way to have “long and complex discussions.” Their prototypical example? Yud’s utterly pointless thoughts on imaginary scenarios conjured up by his immense brain. Orange site is skeptical and yearns for 4chan instead.

people have been screaming the answer at you, yet you ignore it. The American middle class was gutted by outsourcing labor and they’re not happy about it. It couldn’t get more simple.

IIRC it’s (spoilers sorry) “AI escaped the torment nexus and they decided not to kill everyone so that’s great”

I think you’re being too generous. What they wanted to say is “There are genetic traits associated with intelligence.” However, not inserting probability distributions in every fucking sentence is a class 2 misdemeanor in Rat circles, hence what was written.

Deep into that diatribe:

Some people’s moral intuitions are that nonexistence is preferable to, or not obviously worse than, existence in a less-than-ideal setting. I wholly reject this intuition, and looking at the record of the persistence of life in the face of adversity, belong to a heritage of those who have, time and time again, rejected it. Life is Good.

What a disgustingly privileged thing to say. People have survived in shitty situations so therefore more children in poverty is axiomatically good? This guy deserves poverty. (edit: maybe that’s a bit too far but I fucking hate this guy)

It gets even worse when you add YC’s claim that it doesn’t “fund ideas” but rather “fund people.” They didn’t find Austen (a shit person) because he had a good idea (he didn’t). They funded Austen (a shit person) because they liked him (a shit person).

In this case, the context is definitely humans being born on earth. The entire diatribe I responded to can be summed up as “People have all kinds of ethical and moral objections to surrogacy. In this post, I dismiss all of those without an argument, and instead assign positive moral value to everything that increases the number of lives, including surrogacy.” It’s probably one of the dumbest things I read this week.
