500excf type r posted:I would not call musk fans "specifically intelligent in an engineering focused way" but more like people without any formal education in science/math/physics but loving love it!! Yeah in my tech circles I still see a lot of folks driving Tesla’s but their opinion of that company and Musk himself has fallen off a lot. 5 years ago I was a weirdo for hating both, now it’s default in engineering circles. (Anecdotal, natch) At this point the only people I see praising musk are capitalism worshippers, genuine idiots, and people who have Marvel/Tony Stark is Real Life brain disease (that’s a very overlapping Venn diagram btw)

pretty soft girl posted:Wait there are actually people who take rokos' basilisk seriously and/or successfully grift other people with it? who are these bazinga rubes I don't think there was ever a huge number of people who took the basilisk seriously, but... yeah. That's what makes Roko's basilisk funny: a gaggle of techbro "philosophers" recreated Pascal's wager from first principles, then scared themselves silly with it. And the whole purpose of the idea was to explain why LessWrong (the Thiel-backed stable of pseudophilosophers run by a guy best known for an interminable Harry Potter fanfic and being annoying on transhumanist mailing lists in the early 2000s) needed your support, because they were the cutting edge of AI ethics research and if they failed then Skynet would paperclip maximize us out of existence and stick our digitally recreated-from-metadata souls in hell simulations for not supporting its creation. I don't think it ever was successfully used as a grift because it just made everybody involved look stupid, but the intent to prey on fears of AI was totally there.

what I don't get is how as the leader of the company, his reaction when someone comes to him and says "aha, look what Dennis from the database team really thinks of you! He secretly said your ideas suck in our Slack chat!" is to say "good job, I will fire that insolent underling, there is a promotion waiting for you if you keep this up" and not "what the gently caress is wrong with you"

Starting with "enlightened post-singularity supercomputers" as the basis of your philosophy and then reinventing Christian Hell is hilarious and should never not be brought up when anyone actually espouses their ideas.

Otherwise, that's wrongful termination, and doing that wholecloth smells like easy money to lawyers

Therefore you should continue to support Eliezer's boys and pay no heed to HellSatanComputerCo. Or something. I swear to god this whole thing just gets stupider every time I look back at it.

The Ligma tweet would be a (good in a vacuum) joke if it happened the by the day after the initial news coverage. The fact that it happened at this point in time makes me suspicious that he's trolling through media coverage about the firings to find out who to doxx

I'm more just interested on the scientific side to see if it's possible to use millions of people to mock a very bad person with endless blood money enough they will go to Mars (or explode themselves trying) then be trapped there. Sort of like the sending convicts to Australia thing, but instead of forcing them physically, you use their egos to make them do it themselves. It's an interesting academic question to be solved. Can it work?

Ups_rail posted:So are they not happy with the cars? Both. Kinda like how the whole “I loving love science” thing from Reddit and FB was pretty much everywhere and now people think it’s lame. General opinions of Musk were as high or higher than most CEO’s around and was considered doing a public service. That’s all gone. I’ve been nosing around the EV market and zero people have recommended a Tesla to me, including people who own one.

gently caress, my granddad used to do this. "I'm an engineer, so I know more about computers than you'll ever know!" Granddad, you can't run anything newer than the loving Commodore 64 that you STILL HAVE and STILL RUN, don't hire me to fix your computers and then give me that poo poo.

There are still "I loving love science" people around. They aren't as online as they once were, but they're out there holding onto the internet meme identity they adopted 10 years ago, working desk jobs largely unrelated to their science and engineering degrees. Still wearing the sorts of pop culture mash-up tshirts they got in the loot crate services they once subscribed to.

Hate to break it to you Eløn (I don’t) but the guy you argued with and fired was an Android developer, and last I checked websites don’t run on that. You can’t even get that thing right you cretin. Did he lose interest in monetising Twitter or something? Seems like a waste of resources to me but what do I know - I’m not a thin skinned billionaire baby.
