Beff, founder of e/acc, claims OpenAI hyperstitioned AGI into reality and Dario Amodei used the mechanism for regulatory capture

OpenAI hyperstitioned AGI Dario hyperstitioned Singleton RSI regulatory capture

@aidan_mclau they ✨ manifested✨ it

@aidan_mclau yes

@aidan_mclau speculative realism hard at work

@aidan_mclau I will admit that the existence of LLM training data makes hyperstitioning far more likely

@aidan_mclau Hyperstitioning is a universal human instinct. But it'd be more accurate to call it a semi-malicious instinct to gossip/spread propaganda in an attempt convince other humans to think/believe something you like to think/believe. Every neurotypical adult human does this regularly

@aidan_mclau hyperstition makes it sound magic. this plan involved .docx and .xlsx and i bet you even a .pptx

@aidan_mclau More generally just whether they are working to make it more probable?

@aidan_mclau psychohistory

@aidan_mclau Self-fulfilling prophecies are just narrative trading with more steps. Seen it before.

@aidan_mclau i don’t like the thing

@aidan_mclau thank u dario

@aidan_mclau People are too proud to ask

@aidan_mclau Don't blame this on treebeard

@aidan_mclau reflexivity can be strong.

@aidan_mclau Duty to ask yourself whether prediction is an accurate forecast for hyperstitional weather
