I think its more just getting money from people who think something sounds cool despite being not actually useful. Long storied history of this sort of thing.

You can get a local copy of all of hyperphysics

Oh, Zitrons bluesky, cool

Is there a place to see this other than getting an account on that site?

And was a Bayesian calculating agent that enumerates every possible explanation for the information it takes in and ranks them according to evidence, along with every trajectory through the world that could fulfill its utility function, rather than approximating the high dimensional shape of text

And also seemingly made by one of the profusion of post-covid right wing grifters

I think I am yet to see her NOT having the right take on something.

Is there a link?

Nobody knows statistics like me. My uncle, great professor, great genes, he knew, frequentist is the worst. Now, Bayes-e-an statistics is the best, the biggest statistics. You gotta have priors! You have a belief, a tremendous belief, beautiful belief in your head. And then you learn, you get the data, and frankly its nasty and unfair, fake news.

I actually suspect he really does think he is above that and is unlikely to go down the right wing grifter rabbithole. The ‘only i can save the world’ fix is so much stronger than any other weaksauce dopamine he could get from that.

This is going to be an amazing few months. Not in a good way. The factions in the US government taking sides in an angels on the head of a pin debate. All the warring brainworms of 2010 web forums making a nest on Capitol Hill.

[The antichrist] lectures

Oh boy here we go

And the white house is not just calling out the doomers, but the companies themselves doomtrolling over how dangerous their new stuff is and how omg its ROGUE!

I hate it when my college niche internet morbid fascination becomes an oval office power struggle. Effective altruists are being called out from administration accounts by name and the president is still ranting.

I mean… what is this? It’s even weirder than usual

I hate to turn this into a screenshot fest but i mean…

They’re calling out effective altruism BY NAME from the white house. The president is still ranting about this. This is NEW.
