pluribus is a show where the plot refuses to move forward, things are repeated again and again, and nothing interesting ever happens. it is a movie concept stretched out into a tv series. however i like it cause it's slow, boring and filmed well- and makes the borg look extremely incompetent

there is a profound disconnect here in modeling/understanding what is going on
it's not 'there is now youtube slop generator, you must use it in your class'
it's 'a general method has scaled from broken english to IMO gold, and experts don't think it is going to stop'

man if i got an email like this from opus i would be glowing with happiness for days
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

“why are all your posts on here about this”
idk maybe it’s because i got dogpiled with hundreds of people informing me that LLMs are markov chains and tons of crude insults?
the discourse on here for AI is fucking bleak

yeah basically you can't really use the site for anything remotely to do with ai unless you're an extremophile. there's a reason why most of the people who talk about ai the most are Combat Posters, anyone who does not thrive on conflict simply stops bothering to post at some point

it would be incredibly easy to create a new account and rack up a huge following and clout by proclaiming why “generative ai” or the “ai bubble” is about to collapse and everything will go back to normal, with vague techy sounding language with just enough insight + credentialism sprinkled in

so it turns out that the studios that made very highly acclaimed games have been using new tooling without the “matmuls are the devil” mindset, and ppl are very upset about this (e33 + bg3 devs)
expect this to continue and devs to simply self censor to satisfy the mob

the studios that innovate and ignore witch hunting will be disproportionately rewarded, as Embark is. ARC Raiders is a fantastic game and scaling meaningful, rich in-game interactions with modern AI is an obvious low hanging fruit that many studios are avoiding out of fear.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

when i think about AI, i think about the universal approximation theorem, erdõs problems and imo medals, rate of change, and the things i can do with frontier language models like opus 4.5 and the insane internal complexity
in 2025 most ppl think of “annoying slop video” or “copilot win11 popup”

a few months ago i built a game out of the wikimedia dataset to see how good i was at identifying safe mushrooms. i mostly learned that i should not forage for mushrooms lol

seeing a machine do something that you previously thought was unique to your cognition, and opening up that capability to anyone, is to many people a deep narcissistic injury. this explains much about the social environment

if post-scarcity ASI singularity goes well, you will be able to choose to live in a perfectly maintained bubble that is a simulacrum of the world where “the bubble popped”, where all AI research was meaningless, etc. perfectly maintained by machines of loving grace

thinking about this again. i stand by it
in much of 20th century science fiction, anti-ai/anti-progress bigots are depicted variously as religious fanatics, right wing social conservatives, and so on. it has turned out quite differently.

eastern Marxist-Leninists:
- oversaw single largest industrialization, becoming competitive superpower
- competitive in frontier research and technology
- modern china: _mandating_ AI fundamentals
western “leftists”:
- you offended my aesthetic sensibilities, so i will now oppose technology
- oversaw single largest industrialization, becoming competitive superpower
- competitive in frontier research and technology
- modern china: _mandating_ AI fundamentals
western “leftists”:

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

there is a culture on here of believing you can sneer your way into or out of anything, you don’t have to understand anything, and it’s virtuous to act like a 1980s high school movie bully
scorn was an effective weapon for the monkey jpeg NFT shit because it was effectively a status good, generative AI is a tool that millions get utility out of daily and you can't sneer your way out of that.
