Less insane and more honest, truly

It's two guys in London and one guy in San Francisco. In London there's presumably no OpenAI office, in SF, you can't be at two places at once and Anthropic has more true believers/does more critihype.

Unrelated, few minutes before writing this a bona-fide cultist replied to the programming dev post. Cultist with the handle "BussyGyatt @feddit.org". Truly the dumbest timeline.

I dont know anything about the locations of any offices, but could it he that openAI just didnt have any local places? Asking them why not all worked ld be a good journalist question

But otoh it is just two three of them, and the second ones photo gives off a weird vibe. Why is he smiling like it is a joke?

This is always what you get when your fundamental belief is "capitalism good", so no matter how close you get to "and the problem is capitalism" you can never actually get there, like in a crazy version of edging.

What I'm saying is that libs are philosophical gooners

Certainly a lot more money in that, than scouring github for code you can put into urbit.

nah they're built different

I have spend the last few hours looking through all my social media posts making sure I delete any bad things I have said about witches.

Hecate left no crumbs

Yeah, I think the whole 'quickly getting away without leaving a trace' is more sign of some training. But, this is reduced in being likely by the whole FBI just being filled with incompetent goons, podcasters, racists, who are now playing 'find the person of color' and not doing the actual FBI things.

I mean I have no high opinion of groypers, so I don't think they are well trained soldiers or something so take that into account. Exmil just has a higher willingness to kill people.

But yes, very good to point out thanks. Esp as Evans has experience in these things, and can generally be relied upon. (Apart from his views on 40k being too rosy).

We can prob rule out a Luigi style killer as there was no shellcasing with words on it found as far as I can tell.

"One of our guys was murdered; it could have only been an elite Navy SEAL with over 300 confirmed kills!!!" them, probably

Yeah and missing the point that a lot of people think 'some ideas are so shit they shouldn't be debated the right way' esp not ideas about others who are not you and stuff we have debated (and fought over) again and again already. It is like the IRA, Kirk needs to be lucky once, trans people/minorities/university professors(*) need to be lucky every time, again and again, forever. This is just the dumbest level of object level vs meta level thinking out there. When somebody enters the marketplace with sawdust they claim is flour every week you toss them out, don't let them in next time. And you should notice they only try to sell this 'flour' to the poor.

*: my second point, Piper is also very full of shit here. You know what happened to uni professors who debated/corrected/were women/poc in his space? They got put on the TPUSA watchlist and got death and rape threats. He was part of the organisation who ran that database. So this imagined idealized platonic Kirk shaped object isn't even real. Hell you can see in debates the tricks he pulls so his side thinks he wins. That creepy smile he makes after a point that he knows is bullshit, that is to knock people off balance so people react oddly (as it is a really creepy smile) and don't react to the dumb shit he just said. See this clip for example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jrsy1aB6OSk (it cuts off before she talks about how creepy his smile is). Note he is lying about the fetus thing, and if this wasn't a high stress debate and people got time to think about things they would just reply with 'so a dolphin fetus is a dolphin little human being?'. But that is professional debaters vs college students for you. This is not a man who was interested in truth or having his mind changed. And this smile is not some incident, he does it in other places. But his audience is preprimed on thinking they are the logic and reason people, so they consider somebody going 'what the fuck did you just do with your face' as a way to dodge the argument, so in their eyes this is a win for him.

I find that all these debatebro types have some of these tricks, in addition to often controlling the mic. Peterson refuses to explain, Shapiro demands you accept his premise from the start 'for the argument' (yeah if you are right you are right, but the debate is about if you are right not 'assume im right'). The 'I refuse your question' guy is simply somebody who noticed one of those debatebro tricks and refused to go along with it. (the patron saint, may your hair remain long, and your bluetooth have good connections forever). Note that this prob doesn't work on the more experienced debatebros as they would have prepared an answer for 'why can't we both have lgbt people and economic stability' and it gives them a way to spout hate and misinfo again. As all work is skilled work, being a bad faith debate bro propagandist is also a skill (which the Koch brothers paid Kirk well for).

Related to this "Those who walk away from debatebros".

I'm at least enjoying the many comments calling her out, but damn she just doubles down even after being given many many examples of him being a far-right nationalist monster who engaged in attempts to outright subvert democracy.

Why don’t you tell us what those are Kelsey

According to this https://bsky.app/profile/esqueer.net/post/3lyj2o4cuvc2g , and I think a fox news news report he is dead.

He was shot while he was trying to blame gun violence on trans people and gang violence basically. In a moment of weird poetry.

But I just posted this here to warn people. A tip if you see something traumatic: https://bsky.app/profile/baroness.bsky.social/post/3lyj32qx2os2f go play some videogames to not sear it into your mind.

Anyway, doubt they will make the diaper guy the new Horst Wessel.

We're already seeing some of the less circumspect fash call this their Reichstag Fire.

But I just met 'er!

Behold the power of this fully selective quotation.

That's just yer bog-standard "the best lie has a seed of truth", ainnit?

(Peer review in its modern form was adopted gradually, with a recognizable example in 1831 from the same William Whewell who coined the word scientist. It displaced the tradition of having the editor of a journal decide everything himself, so whatever its flaws, it has broadened the diversity of voices that influence what gets officially published.)

Epstein was a sophon controlled trisolaran asset working to prevent crucial development of physics!!! j/k

First domino: US government invents peer review

Last domino: Richard Stallman successfully kamikazes his reputation for good after multiple close attempts over the years

imo academia in the us selects for self-serious mini-tyrants. people unable to sleaze their way to an equivalent position in the job market, so they go with a position where their subordinates have no agency or recourse for inappropriate behavior and are entirely dependent on them for their funding and their career progress^[by standing up to my piece of shit advisor, i have left with just a master's degree after five years, despite definitely having enough research completed under this advisor to leave with a phd. i chose to stand up for myself and try to end this cycle instead of adding an acronym to my title. arguably a mistake, idk, there is a robert frost poem about this.]. the university system here seems to only care if a professor brings in grant money

if so, they can do whatever they want.

e.g. a year ago a student of mine with a documented, legally required accommodation was just straight denied it by a professor in my department. this poor student had to go through some equal opportunity claim just to have his accommodation met, and the professor is still there, having suffered no consequences.

maybe i should apply to a phd program outside of the us. i speak spanish (but slowly, y como un gringo) 🤷

😭

sorry my friend, that is really brutal. wishing you the best. ❤
