This holiday season, treat your loved ones to the complete printed set* of the original Yudkowsky for the low introductory price of $1,299.99. And if you act now, you’ll also get 50% off your subscription to the exciting new upcoming Yudkowsky, only $149 per quarter!

*This fantastic deal made possible by our friends at Amazon Print-on-Demand. Don’t worry, they’re completely separate from the thoughtless civilization-killers in the AWS and AI departments whom we have taught you to fear and loathe

(how far are we from this actually happening?)

It could also be swapped out for nothing. The people in charge could figure out that this stuff is costing more than it’s making, turn the servers off, and deactivate the user-facing features or leave them as vestigial stubs.

There’s more evidence right now for that scenario, and it would generate an awful lot of e-waste. Tell me, are you up to date on process improvements for recycling or repurposing that much e-waste?

Why did this immediately give me a flashback to Donald Trump yelling, “when it comes to great steaks, I’ve just raised the stakes!

I suspect it’s a bit of a tell that upcoming hype cycles will be focused on biotech. Not that any of these people writing checks have any more of a clue about biotech than they do about computers.

It makes sense that he would want back on the only grift train that ever treated him so well. Post-Trump/Vance Thielworld is likely to be a particularly sad place, though.
