"Those aren't real jobs anyway and if you're against workers getting fucked over by technology leveraged against them you're against logic, science, facts, and The Future. I like my cheap slop. I got mine." :morshupls: Awfully familiar take, isn't it? :cap-think:
So like has Roko actually done any work in the AI field or is he another "techno philosopher" making terrible dipship takes that can't be proven true or false?
In your heart, you know the answer
"Roko's" academic contributions to fields he claims to have expertise in:

The closest thing I have to AI programming experience is implementing enemy and NPC behavior in my games, yet I still have a better claim to being an AI researcher than 90% of Yud cultists
Their qualifications include "consuming fiction" and "bloviating in their mind palaces while doing magical thinking based upon their consumption of fiction." :galaxy-brain:
You don't understand
They read A LOT of forum posts
"No investigation, no right to speak" isn't just good policy for a communist party, it's also excellent life advice
He's another A U T O D I D A C T. :galaxy-brain:
Oh one of those "college is a scam" types :cringe:
Hexbear's seen that take a few times, under the superficial backing of "because some college professors are cranks :jordan-eboy-peterson: , all of them and the entire institution should be abolished." When I saw that take it was in defense of A U T O D I D A C T S, particularly a certain Harry Potter fanfic cult leader that gets paid millions to kiss the ass of billionaires and uses those millions to drug and practice amateur nonconsensual mind control on "pets" at his techbro parties. :kombucha-disgust:
I hold A U T O D I D A C T S in the same regard as typical homeschooler advocates. At best it's idealistic and ignores the usual and likely bad outcomes, and it's often much worse.
Yeah it's always funny to me when Hexbear goes a little Pol Pot, as a treat
It's usually in "those aren't real jobs anyway, fuck you got mine chatbot slop go brrr" flavor. :soypoint-1:
People who insist that they are smart are the absolute fucking worst. Ego is the death of intellect.
The thing about being an audodidact is that you can just stay in your comfort zone and never tackle anything beyond what you can easily handle. Contrast that to college where you absolutely have to learn new things and demonstrate your understanding of them to pass a course - a course you'll be taking with many other students, some of whom are almost certainly better prepared and more experienced than you. My first year of college was possibly the most humbling experience of my life because it showed me in no uncertain terms I that I didn't know shit.
That explains why Big Yud never dared approach it.
Jesus... yeah nah anyone making those takes don't realize college sucks in the west because of capitalism and the reinforcement of reactionary ideology has clearly lost the script on how communism states are very much oriented around ensuring proper sources of education and growth for people via sources like universities.
well college should definitely be reformed as a system. Really the whole thing would be fixed if we just let anyone attend lectures and publically posted the times like events at community centres.
have people register to do exams if they want accreditation. The problem is the high barrier of entry and cost of study prohibits people exploring a subject. Really society would be so much better off if anyone could out of interest sit a college level course in any subject or module on a whim
The whole thing should be way more casual
self taught means taught by someone who doesn't know what they're doing. And in his case he learned by reading the works of a sci fi writer not an academic
he's a follower of Elizier Yudkowsky, the original "AI expert who has never done any work on actually existing AI"
I can't fucking believe that a precocious manchild somehow grifted his way to being head of a think tank.
"Precocious" :thinkin-lenin:
