âThis whole saga makes me genuinely embarrassed to follow this stuff. I just want a sub that has an informed opinion on AI, this is worse than crypto bro bullshit.â
âEvery hype-man who posts vague tweets and hype posts should be ridiculed. Every clown who posts screenshots of said tweets on this sub should be ridiculed.â
ââAGI is coming out next yearâ - this sub for the last 4 yearsâ
some self aware highlights.
I hadnât put it together before but it completely makes sense that singularity believers would easily fall for AI hype.
yeah, iirc the first step to singularity or at least what causes it is an ASI so we have this community of dweebs thinking that thatâll solve everything and not, like, communism, which probably wonât solve everything but certainly more than whatever the fuck llms are doing.
Itâs incredible watching them slowly realise that they bet their hopes for utopia on a slightly more annoying customer service chatbot.
As someone who once was a transhumanist (back when there were still Socialists in the community) I almost feel bad for them. Almost. A lot of them are young and havenât yet realised that hope from tech alone is always, always hollow. What they do with that knowledgeâŚwellâŚI got better, but I was always communist.
i mean theyre cultists so
the leap from âcute statistics engine that is basically an elaborate and flawed google searchâ to âthinking robot girlfriend that worships meâ is huge and they keep acting like its trivial
Their idiot eschatology community has now reached the development level of having false prophets. What exciting places will they go from here?
strawberry man used the hype by pretending to be an insider and making claims that strawberry is coming very soon and will completely change everything
Lol people still fall for the âmy dad works for nintendoâ bit when no other independent source can verify the claim?

It is just as embarrassing as the people who buy into âinsider political leaks.â Unnamed, unverifiable sources are almost always fabricated
Depends on the nature of political leaks. A lot are deliberately leaked to control the narrative. For example, leaks about Biden âbeing furiousâ with Netanyahu is just to appeal to west wing brained liberals. Or how âanonymous sources revealedâ to MSM that âUkrainiansâ were behind the Nordstream bombing. In the latter case, they admit it was sabotage, but want a different narrative around it.
Does anyone truly believe that Ukraine destroyed NS2 on their own? Biden told the whole world he was going to âbring and end to itâ if Russia invaded Ukraine and that is exactly what he did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4O8rGRLf8&t=90 âHow will you stop NS2, it belongs to Germany?â âI promise you we WILL do itâ
Not necessarily. Often itâs coming from a real source, itâs that if the source was known itâd be blatantly obvious the âleakâ isnât juicy truths TPTB are trying to keep from us but rather blatant propaganda from TPTB are pushing to manufacture consent.
I donât follow. Half-truths are lies in my book so it sounds like we agree that those claims are largely fabrications aimed to stir up drama (increase engagement) or deceive us (manufacture consent)
Either way, it shouldnât be legal for any journalist to try to pass off unverifiable gossip as legitimate News.
