  • Kiki on the outside, bobo on the inside.

    Watch your enemies suffer, from the comfiest chair possible.

    If it were the future it might be; teach your enemies empathy by all having enough bobo to learn it… But this is not that time (and perhaps it never will be).

  • Depends what you mean by AI…

    …but I guess currently the main difference is that the dot-com boom basically was the internet. It was huge but we thought it was small.

    The AI boom is small, but we think it’s huge.

    We think it’s going to replace, invade, and take over everything all at once. It’s not. The models take work to be constrained. The training data takes time to find and cleanse. The applications and use cases have to be married to good data sets and modeled to functional outcomes.

    We thought the internet was just people with journals, blogs, and geocities pages… It turned out to be ebay, youtube, reddit, instagram, tiktok, Facebook, Amazon.

    Right now we think AI will be in everything doing everyone’s jobs …but it will probably be a bunch of smaller tools. Translators, cancer finders, copy editors, face scanners, better security cameras, better search engines…

    The applications are still uncertain, but seem kind of smaller than we first thought. Ubiquitous (probably) but not larger than life.

    The dot com boom was larger than life.

    But I think the biggest difference is that AI will most likely need the internet. The dot com thing WAS the internet.

    “AI” is kind of subordinate, or seems smaller in some sense. It’s more like lots of small changes. They’ll each make life a little easier, but it will all feel separate rather than some giant face in the sky that speaks intelligence into society or controls the world.



  • Imagine not only believing in the anti-christ, but then also believing that LLMs are some accurate tool.

    In truth all that Thiel is saying is that he’s a type of brain rotted Zizian cultist.

    Delusional Rationalists are mentally ill, and for some reason when given LLMs they become worse. Thiel and others believe LLMs are time travelling gods.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if he and Elon were in relationships with ChatGPT (or think they are). The Rationalist groups actually believe in thought-experiments like Rokos Basilisk (Roko was just a user on a Rationalist forum by the way)… So I think these old tech billionaires are just lost, broken, and evil. They’re pathetic, and should have their estates put into insolvency if they’re going to say mentally ill shit.
