 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Fantasizing about how this can be eliminated with "a little bit more data bro" is just making me sick. People keep saying it. | 23:44:06 |
 waltmck | You can DM me if you want to talk about this further | 23:44:12 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | If it's so good, go and build it and demonstrate how it no longer causes problems, hallucinates or it wastes time. | 23:45:18 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I will believe it when I see it. | 23:45:24 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Most people have had enough of these lies and over exaggerations of capabilities, and fantasies of comparison to human brains, I am sure. | 23:45:48 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Snake oil is not well respected. You will struggle to garner respect for selling, promoting snake oil. | 23:47:26 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Sorry about the temperature there, comparing it to a brain is just setting off my BS detector super hard. | 23:50:50 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | It is not really the idea that there are comparable elements. It's the fact you said it so casually, as if it is self evident. Like how Sam Altman says we should obviously build a dyson sphere and everyone laughs, but he's actually serious. | 23:52:32 |

| problems | if anyone can get a hype role at openai it's certainly not someone who knows what they're doing, so right on | 00:01:40 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | It is a contentious issue, and people are beginning to pick sides. | 00:06:21 |
 magic_rb | cause people keep fucking bringing it up, making PRs with and then expect a pat on the back for burning the planet and stealing everyones work, fuck no | 00:10:43 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | It is eroding trust everywhere, because it is hard to trust someone when they don't even trust themselves (to write good code) | 00:14:08 |
| magic_rb | different channel man | 00:14:26 |
| magic_rb | shush | 00:14:28 |
| magic_rb | also, youre interupting my WoW session | 00:14:35 |
