Here’s how SIM swap in alleged bitcoin pump-and-dump scheme worked
  • Yeah security in the USA has always been pretty bad. Iirc it often had to do with monopoly like structures keeping the advances at bay because it costs money to upgrade. Did the bank cards move away from magnetic strips already?

  • "Life, it never die

    Women are my favorite guy."

    Wonder what is up with the folks and them getting into rhymes/poetry. Jordan B Peterson does something simple (his pinned tweet as example here. But we know he fried parts of his brain using the russian coma rehab method.

    And it isn't even the Sinterklaas period yet. No need for bad rhymes. (I'm also suddenly reminded of all the people who tried to 'rap' their messages in the late 90s).

  • Wait, you are saying the MOON could get MAD! Is there a RESEARCH INSTITUTE doing emotional moon research? This is an extinction level threat! We need to do something. I'll start the wiki. Anybody have a song?

  • I saw people say they would add 10% opaque layers of the musk with Epstein's accomplice (whos name i forgot for a second and too lazy to look her up) photo. Would be nice if there was a tool to do so automatically. (Not that i post on twitter anymore).

  • Re one, what is worse? People selling anti wifi amulets that they know don't work? Or people who sell them while not understanding (nor believing) that they dont work? (More likely it doesnt matter as it remains a scam. Ow god, im getting close to doing actual ethical thinking here).

  • As Nina Power was mentioned before, here is an article on a Welsh 'druid'/forger which touches that subject (and Marx) a bit. People might find it an interesting read.

    Anti-Woke Druids and Radical Bards - 'What links Welsh 18th century romantic Druid-Bards, gathering around a circle of pebbles in North London, and the contemporary online right?'

  • Google, Amazon buy nonexistent mini nuclear reactors for AI data centers
  • For the non-banned people who think this is a good take. It is not. Corps due to competing with each other keep the research private, which if it doesn't work out will lead others to do similar research (wasting that time/money again) or they will patent it which causes a slowdown in further research due to all the license payment shit. (Or worse, they go the before patents were a thing way, and keep it all a secret, wasting more time and money).

  • I think I see a possible future here. Just as the promptfondlers are now trying to talk down human accomplishments to make the LLMs sound more impressive ('it learns just like a child!' (no, it doesn't)). As when you are trying to reach a deal on a car, you either need the buyer to raise the price, or the seller to lower theirs. This will lead to a lawsuit where they are going to drop down the theoretical capabilities of an AGI just to trigger this clause.

    And as the judge thinks that emoji's are a form of novelty pasta, any potential jury can't spell stattistical, there is a 50% chance that they will be convinced it is AGI because humans like the AGI also make mistakes.

  • Interview with a former Effective Vampire^M Altruist.

    The interview itself

    Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

    Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

    "No, I can't wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I'm too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can't you wash them?"

    Eliezer complements Musk, Musk negs Eliezer

    Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.

    Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).

    In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.

    Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.
