the way other-scott did?

Did he?

Now I'm wondering if 'third Scott' (Guess he didn't fake it, his dream of being hunted in the streets as a conservative didn't come to pass) was in the files. Would be very amusing if it turned out Epstein was one of the people hypnotized.

‘intellectual dark web’

But this was after people coined ‘Dark Enlightenment’, which I don't know when it started, but it was mapped in 2013. Wonder how much the NRx comes up. But for my sanity I'm not going to do any digging.

(people already discovered some unreadable pdf files are unreadable because they are actually renamed mp4s (and other file types), fucking ~~amateurs~~ podcasters. And no way im going to look into that).

First of all, like, if you can't keep track of your transcripts, just how fucking incompetent are you?

Second, I would actually be interested in a problem set where the problems can't be solved. What happens if one prompts the chatbot with a conjecture that is plausible but false? We cannot understand the effect of this technology upon mathematics without understanding the cost of mathematical sycophancy. (I will not be running that test myself, on the "meth: not even once" principle.)

I thought I was sticking my neck out when I said that OpenAI was faking their claims in math, such as with the whole International Math Olympiad gold medal incident. Even many of my peers in my field are starting to become receptive to all of these rumors about how AI is supposedly getting good at math. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going crazy and sticking my head in the sand.

All I can really do is to remember that AI developers are bad faith (and scientists are actually bad at dealing with bad faith tactics like flooding the zone with bullshit). If the boy has cried wolf 10 times already, pardon me if I just ignore him entirely when he does it for the 11th time.

I would not underestimate how much OpenAI and friends would go out of their way to cheat on math benchmarks. In the techbro sphere, math is placed on a pedestal to the point where Math = Intelligence.

If famed bag holder SoftBank are starting to raise their eyebrows when asked about future investments, the jig is definitely up

Weirdly the media are reporting that they have made a profit on their investments but when you actually read the articles, they are saying that the magical imaginary money that their OpenAI shares are worth has gone up
