I don’t entirely follow how setting lower prices today improves future model quality but sure I’ll go along with the ride

More people using it, more training data fed into it.

77% of people still paying after one month

That seems a bit low.

Wait will this mean that poisoning LLMs will be even harder to detect and prevent?

(Death comes for XSLT)[https://dbushell.com/2026/11/03/xslt-rip/] (article about google killing XSLT, or gunning for it, not my usual fair but it is bad, and I didn't see much attention pointed at it so far).

It is amazing as if there is one person you should empathize with, if you are going to be weird about the movies it isn't Anakin. It is Padme, Anakin is a failson who got shit gifted to him because of a blood test who then blew everything up because he didn't get a promotion.

Padme had devoted her life to public duty, was elected queen, got a nice boytoy, but then everything was taken from her by one of her closest supposed allies who turned out to be a sith sociopath. And then Anakin tried to fucking kill her. I know women are not people to these people but come on.

The Bane stuff is also so weird, did they miss that when Bane has his whole anarchist speech he is lying? 'We are giving the power to you the people', and then the trigger man is his boss, and the judge is scarecrow. And they were always going to nuke the city. Eat less lead paint!

I left the cheesecake in the fridge and it looks like it is trying to take over my fridge and creating bioweapons.

Please fund my cheescake institute.

And no obv this is too dangerous to let out of the fridge.

If you know there are always new bottlenecks tha keep slowing things down why try at all? When do you go 'wow none of this helped and we wasted a lot of energy on spinning our wheels'

(Or perhaps you dont know what the actual bottlenecks are, a manager should know better).

There is also the series where various old spacecraft become sentient, humanity becomes immortal and they all get really into football variants or something. A story spread over various sites and yt clips.

They say on social media.

I’m starting to think I found an exposed nerve.

Could you both please not be embarrassing?

Also what does anything of this have to do with the article?

There are also really people who think all crititcs also constantly use it. Which also baffles me.

A big marker also works, think that is how people tag things going by the smell I one noticed when some 30 year old guy tagged a table in the train I was in. (It was an odd moment).

Time to also archive the NFT/cryptocurrency ads, going to be hard to get rid of 'fortune favors the brave' a few days before a crash however.

As we don't have a top level post about this already (nor on reddit) I thought why not make one. Archive.is

Extremely likely the guy was a lesswronger, or at least radicalized by that sort of thinking.

But not much else seems to be known as far as I can tell. Corbin also posted about the HN reactions in the stubsack.

And remember, no fed posting.

 

Via reddits sneerclub. Thanks u/aiworldism.

I have called LW a cult incubator for a while now, and while the term has not catched on, nice to see more reporting on the problem that lw makes you more likely to join a cult.

https://www.aipanic.news/p/the-rationality-trap the original link for the people who dont like archive.is used the archive because I dont like substack and want to discourage its use.

 

As found by @gerikson here, more from the anti anti TESCREAL crowd. How the antis are actually R9PRESENTATIONALism. Ottokar expanded on their idea in a blog post.

Original link.

I have not read the bigger blog post yet btw, just assumed it would be sneerable and posted it here for everyone's amusement. Learn about your own true motives today. (This could be a troll of course, boy does he drop a lot of names and thinks that is enough to link things).

E: alternative title: Ideological Turing Test, a critical failure

 

Original title 'What we talk about when we talk about risk'. article explains medical risk and why the polygenic embryo selection people think about it the wrong way. Includes a mention of one of our Scotts (you know the one). Non archived link: https://theinfinitesimal.substack.com/p/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about

Begrudgingly Yeast (@begrudginglyyeast.bsky.social) on bsky informed me that I should read this short story called 'Death and the Gorgon' by Greg Egan as he has a good handle on the subjects/subjects we talk about. We have talked about Greg before on Reddit.

I was glad I did, so going to suggest that more people he do it. The only complaint you can have is that it gives no real 'steelman' airtime to the subjects/subjects it is being negative about. But well, he doesn't have to, he isn't the guardian. Anyway, not going to spoil it, best to just give it a read.

And if you are wondering, did the lesswrongers also read it? Of course: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hx5EkHFH5hGzngZDs/comment-on-death-and-the-gorgon (Warning, spoilers for the story)

(Note im not sure this pdf was intended to be public, I did find it on google, but might not be meant to be accessible this way).
