If the DOJ investigates it and agents of the state will fuck you up over it then it kind of seem like law-adjacent at least.

I really want to agree in principle but it's just not very reassuring to keep being technically correct about this shit.

I think of a lot of left/right tension in this framework. The farther left you go the more visionary goals you see held by people with 0% chances of ever having any practical impact on anything.
On the right you find weirdly elite strategic execution of absolutely dogshit ideals.

And that seems bad. I don't really want a singularity anymore.

An R-strategy singularity sounds like actual cosmic horror. That seems less like an indominus rex, and more like that fungus in the 1989 Super Mario Brothers movie I guess? Like, it never gets smart, it's just good at making more of itself all the time.

So that's what we sometimes call an R-strategy, when you spend less energy on being a perfectly-adapted super-being and more energy on dropping as big a payload of offspring as possible early and often before you die. I'm not a biologist or and AI expert but it kind of looks like it's doing that?

I'm just reading about AI models training on AI-produced data and it sounds like it's not worlds away from AI training subsequent AI but not really because it's "better" data, just because AI-produced data is infecting data sources at an incredible rate.
