slatestar/lesswrong comunities discussed AI risk early, back when it just sounded like sci-fi to most people. Same with prediction markets back when it was a weird niche thing discussed here way before polymarket became a thing.

So what's next? What's something discussed around slatestar/lesswrong that you think has potential of becoming of more mainstream importance one day?

growing up it was one of those way overplayed songs on rock stations but I gave it another listen today and wow the vocals are great.

any other recs for those Eddie Vedder / Scott Weiland (stp) / Layne Staley type vocals?

deep, gritty vocal styles, anything within altrock. any recs? bonus if they aren't as well known but still have powerful raw vocals.

anyone have experience with this, how many hours of heavy use can you do?

anything like larry june/nipsey hustle, pure money getter music

I'm looking for DJs in the vein of Yousuke Yukimatsu—people whose sets jump between seemingly unrelated genres (ambient, rap, noise, trance, techno, pop, classical, etc.) while still feeling cohesive. I'm not necessarily looking for open-format club DJs or festival sets. I'm after DJs with incredible taste and sequencing who make unexpected transitions feel emotionally inevitable. Who else should I listen to? Links to full sets are appreciated.

thought of this while listening to Future - Sorry and a few other of his more emotionally deeper songs.

i think hes looked at as a pop sensation right now but in the future people will appreciate his artistry more.

besides roids/trt of course, inb4 those mentioned.

I looked at wallets from 5+ years ago... I have over 10bnb locked up in a contract I set for 40 years (smh I know), I see reminders of all the crypto traders I know who are probably long gone now who used to be friends who I am out of contact with or are probably gone forever, I see all the money (over 100k) destroyed by ftx and sam altmans trading against his own customers.

I haven't looked in a long time because it hurts so much.

I'd rather be a crypto noob because then I'd be blissfully ignorant to how brutal things get.

I had a big trump coin wallet that revived me for a bit because I got in early enough but as we all know the melania coin made it draw down. I tried to rebuild again with a hype long but 10/10 destroyed that too.

For the first time ever I have pretty much given up hope in crypto and I've been in it since early 2010s.

I'm not saying it'll never pump again a bit, but I don't think there will ever be another mega bull run for it like we have had in the past. I am pretty much zeroed out and have to become a normie now (and I have nothing to show for resume too). At least it was fun in the moment.

mostly interested because I saw thiel/altman invested (yes I know altman divested).

What are the biggest hurdles I should know about that Oklo has? Would dems winning next elections be bad for regulatory reasons?

Hey r/ftx, Has anyone else run into this? I signed up for FTX years ago using a nickname/alias (pretty normal at the time), and now my claim KYC is getting flagged for a name mismatch with my legal ID/passport. I actually completed full verification through SumSub early last year (passport, SSN, address docs, etc.), but it's still showing a discrepancy. The portal is asking me to explain it, with the June 30 deadline coming up fast. Wondering:

• Did you hit the same issue?
• What worked for you - just explaining it in the portal, uploading old screenshots showing the alias, contacting support@ftx.com, or something else?
• Any tips to avoid getting the claim expunged over this?

Really appreciate any advice or experiences. Trying to get ahead of it without stressing too much.Thanks!

any interesting facts about Musk that most wouldn't be aware of?

if i'm cooked in my late 20's does that mean my brain is just cooked forever because of neuroplasticity?

AI doesn't create shit. It wears your skin.

Every AI generated face is a mishmash of real faces, peeled off people who never consented, stitched onto the machine. The model can't dream up a face from nothing because it has no nothing to dream from, so every pixel is a fragment of a real human's stolen identity.

Same with text, code, voice, whatever. "Generative" is a flesh compactor. It runs the labor of millions of people who'll never see a check, and spits out an average of them.
Don't believe me, read the AI ToS. "Improve our products and services" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. That's the clause where your labor becomes their capital and you get nothing back but the privilege of using the thing built out of you.

Meta's doing it in the open with their own workers. Zuckerberg said on a podcast they're building AI to replace mid-level engineers outright, not assist them. That AI learns by training on the actual work of the people it's about to replace. Not just the code, everything. They're datamining a worker's mental and physical labor to play it back without the worker. Horror scifi skinwalker shit, but its now our reality. Once the data's locked in, the original meatflesh is optional. The outputs come back wearing your face and your decisions, without you receiving a cent of the money from the labor.

This is where I lose interest with the AI accelerationist crowd. It's just capital separating you from what you make, owning it, selling it back to you, faster than before. Speeding up extraction isn't escaping it.

Most people still act like this is a normie workplace tool, or a silly slop machine. It's neither. It's far more serious... and looking at the benchmarks that come out you'd see it is gaining powerful at an increasingly exponential rate without any signs of slowing down.

I'm not anti AI out of a kneejerk surface level reaction - I put hundreds of hours into the technical details and this is my current view. It's inherently anti-human.

or do you think zhipu/z.ai will always be ahead of minimax in development
