You could not predict from "first principles" that effective altruists, rationalists, AI doomers, this entire multi-continental intellectual culture – will all converge on having a racist boomer's theory of Chyna, invulnerable to refutation. This wasn't in the Sequences!
I predict that the water skier will not successfully overtake the boat even if the boat slows down.
Negative users dismissed AI doomers' claims about China as unfalsifiable racism or mere theft and hierarchy, while one hoped Deepseek would disprove them.
@teortaxesTex I have a feeling deepseek will prove these people wrong in 2027
In the end rationalism is a comic book story about racial hierarchy. There are Protagonist Races (Ashkenazi Jews, Whites, upper-caste Indians) which come up with Big Ideas and advance the Narrative. East Asians are an NPC race. This whole China angle is a distraction from AI risk
Un-fucking-believable. So it's theft without even understanding what you're stealing rn? Really? Kind of like how the Qing copied Portuguese cannons.

@teortaxesTex My whole 30 minutes of LLM weight update function research showed the industry was still doing stupid shit on regular vs irregular blocks of weights. There is no moat yet.

@teortaxesTex @duda_jarek @CalcCon @seanbax And the funding would likely be @DEShawGroup since Sean knows everyone, with a delayed rollout for enterprise users. Arbitrage at different timescales and a general for long horizon arbitrage that is bitter pill.
@teortaxesTex If I wanted to get a lab together I would probably hire @duda_jarek @CalcCon and @seanbax. The first two would figure out information theoretic best updates and Sean would code them with near max efficiency.
@teortaxesTex I wouldn't call a collection of provincial Californian sects "multi-continental" just because the internet allows the rarefied outer border of a social cluster to reach worldwide.
@teortaxesTex major dose of deja vu hearing analysts repeat this same line verbatim like it's 2010 and we're talking about the automotive industry
@teortaxesTex I could predict it.
@teortaxesTex It's related to the fact that rhis intellectual culture takes capitalism – and anticommunism – for granted
@teortaxesTex very ominous on broader perspective
@teortaxesTex @duda_jarek @CalcCon @seanbax @DEShawGroup Short duration you are probably training a LLM to emit FPGA code every so many minutes/hours just like JaneStreet.
