World not surreal enough with real stuff ?

I mean three-body problem was a good show and all..
Giant reality show to distract!!!!

Edit: Also this is from 2020..I can’t believe this guy is actually a credentialed academic:

How can he go around saying stuff like this?

Isn’t our fucking awful conspiracy and misinfo filled public dialogue lousy enough? It is one thing to tentatively speculate on such things. It is another to..what gives with these guys?
Like are they self psyoping at this point?

I really wonder about some of these guys. For example supposed ai experts who sound batshit loony - as if they are mixing up shitty Hollywood movies and science.

Surely you have some responsibility when you talk about fields like ai or astrobiology etc to not seem like someone who is pitching a bad movie.

I have wondered for years (sometimes in silent indignation) and now I am starting to wonder if instead of psyoping the public with drivel they actually buy their own bs..

That is one reason I follow Yan LeCun of meta on ai sometimes. At least he seems entirely sane. He is one well-known ai scientist I have seen discuss ai such that it actually sounds like a cool science to the lay person rather than like a depressing pitch for a (low quality) tv show.

It is bad enough that ai hallucinates. It is worse when the people working on it also appear to.
