Well, here's an #InOurTime episode which I *think* is not actually an April Fool but real knowledge carefully presented to make it *sound* like an April Fool. But I'm honestly not sure.

How a discovery in the 1970s changed the theory of the origin of complex life on earth.

It's also important to recognize that tech oligarchs won't let this die. It's too important to them. This is part of the boss fight right here. They will take everything from us to coerce us into making LLMs profitable, to deskilling our labor and selling (skewed) human knowledge back to us at a premium. They will take away every benefit the state has, kill as many people as it takes to funnel every penny of government subsidy into this. They will burn every drop of subsidized oil. Those ICE camps are gonna be used for something. If it takes right wing death squads, they'll do it.
They will kill every last one of us to realize total domination. We have to be ready for that, and prepare accordingly. As many lives as have been taken by people with similar ideologies, those ideologies have always lost. If we know what's coming and prepare for it then they will lose faster, and at a lower cost.

The absolute waste of time and knowledge and energy caused by smart people "building" shit with and for LLMs.
Smart people giving their work away for free to motherfuckers like altman and amodei and musk and jfc i hate this timeline.
