I didn’t want to watch the cartoon because I thought I could just skim the story faster, and that’s how I read the “Hurr durr AI can derive general relativity in three frames, nothing personnel, kid” story in full for the first time. It sucks that people didn’t nip Yud in the bud early enough by telling him he lacked sci-fi chops, though I suspect that wouldn’t have slowed him down at all.
The story itself is an allegory1 about AI processing information fast2. Yud wasn’t thinking of himself as a sci-fi writer when writing this; he probably thought he was the messiah delivering a sermon, which… is exactly how I’ve come to understand Yud anyway.
- the fact of which is explicitly spelt out in the middle third when it drops out of the narrative entirely to do so
- see hurr durr description in paragraph above

Angrily puts away bludgeon
I think I’ve seen a bit of it and thought that it was a game that could kill me in that manner!!!
“Your wages feel overtuned.”
“We’re thinking of reworking your position.”
“This company is in beta. Your position is not fixed and might not be in the final product.”
Tangent: As a first time participant in an early access game, I came across the term “overtuned” which made me irrationally angry. My understanding is that it is supposed to mean “you buffed this because of feedback but maybe a little too much” but I have rarely seen it used to mean other than “this needs a nerf, and I won’t justify my position, but I want to sound like I’m reasonable”
I’m thinking this is a POSIWID kind of deal. The mission statement of this company should just be: “A. I. Money please!”
it is stupid and wrong, and i pity your inability to understand that fact
Yeah where is he? I would like to bludgeon him
He’s (lol) supposedly super into math and game theory
It’s kind of the inverse of a sports fan that is into sports because of the stats. He’s into the stats for the magical thinking
Actually, LLMs are syringes filled with brain-parasite-infested poop
Self declared expert understander yud misunderstanding something is great. Self declared expert understander yud using known misunderstanding generator chatgpt is the cherry on top.
aw dawg, not the peat bogs!
The escape GOAT is the protagonist of the elusive samurai (逃げ上手の若君), Hōjō Tokiyuki
ATTN: If you’re coming into this thread to say, “The output of AI is bad because your prompts suck,” I’m just proud that you managed to figure out how to use the internet at all. Good job, you!
LLMs, and everyone who uses them to process information:
They got tired of all the “SV keeps re-inventing trains and buses à la carcinisation”* memes and decided to remove them from public consciousness altogether
*Yes, I did initially misread “transport” as “public transport” and not “internet transport” even after skimming the article. No, I will not change this joke. Yes, I look like a fool now, but when silicon valley vertically integrates away your precious commute I’ll look like the best damn prediction marketeer out there.
