  • HOPE (Hackers on planet earth, a hacker convention) tried to invite some AI companies people as speakers and the reactions has been interesting

    We have reached out to people at some of the major AI companies in the list below, asking them to speak at this year’s HOPE conference to start an open dialog about AI. Yet, in every case, when the representatives of the AI companies learned that their talk would not be allowed to be a mere unchallenged sales pitch, they became significantly less interested. And when they learned we would allow— and encourage— audience members to ask questions, the representatives stopped responding to us altogether. This happened with each and every company.












  • Has it been 2 months already? I was wondering when they would turn up in the news again.

    E: I’m not serious, I came across this video on yt which fulfilled my ‘every 2 months’ thing already. It was actually a bit interesting, as it turns out both of them have a long mostly unscrubbed online history which they tracked down and analyzed, turns out she has a history of being a weird quirky person, and they both have an air of ‘want to become internet famous/create an internet scam’ sort of thing.

    The comments on that vid are great as well (wait for it) check this one out:

    It is rich for you to skewer anything Simone and Malcolm miss with their podcast when they post 5 days a week (you neglected to mention) and you can’t even maintain your schedule or throw up a post on bluesky when you are off schedule. Also, because you two are genetic dead ends you don’t know that a mother of 5 cannot be a night person, she was up with a baby when she emailed. Malcolm and Simone talk in different rooms because she always is looking after a baby, and babies can randomly make noise so Simone can mute and Malcolm can take over. Maybe you can meet a baby one day and learn how they work. But I will say this episode is better researched than the usual “read article titles and giggle” podcasts you put out.

    This comment was left by none other than “Diana Fleischman” Yes, that one, the evolutionary psychologist, and partner of Primal “I’m no longer allowed near students” Poly (For those who remember sneerclub from reddit, he was a regular subject. For example).

    Amazing how small this nazi nerd world is. And how bad they are at defending their own. Feel free to leave ‘ad hominem’ reactions to that. (I will not as my yt profile links back to my real life).
