Yud follows up Sammy Boy's AI-Generated "Metafiction"

I find absolutely consistently that gen-AI advocates are literally unable to tell good output from bad output. They think people who say their output is garbage are just lying to have a go at them. - awful.systems

If I had a nickel for every "metafictional" "short" "story" a promptbro shat into existence on Twitter, I'd have two nickels. That's not much, but its two nickels too fucking many.

Lol, Altman's AI generated purple prose slop was so bad even Eliezer called it out (as opposed to make a doomer-hype point):
Perhaps you have found some merit in that obvious slop, but I didn't; there was entropy, cliche, and meaninglessness poured all over everything like shit over ice cream, and if there were cherries underneath I couldn't taste it for the slop.
- the cherries metaphor hinges on him willingly having eaten shit covered ice cream
  
  Hey, no kink-shaming.
  
  "No kink-shaming!"
  "But I'm talking about Rationalists."
  "... OK, one kink-shaming."
  
  Also, Yud's kink is literally rape¹, isn't it? Role playing non-consensual situations is fine and all, but this is a subculture where reporting sexual harassment is considered a possible infohazard², and surely the utilitarian calculus in on the side of letting rationalists who do important work on existential risks have a go at you, imagine how many multiplujillion far future virtual entities of minimum moral status that might save.
  Fuck a cult.
  He's openly declared himself a sexual sadist and writes stuff like this, and also math pets.

  "... the HPMORstocrats!"
- LLMs producing garbage fiction? Oh Yud, he's getting close...
