I'm a plumber + trucker by day. However late at night I have a yearning to unclog the nuances of neural networks and AGI. I'm like a unicorn, except instead of a horn, I have a wrench in one hand and a laptop in the other.

Late At night, I dream of embeddings, matrix multiplication, and implementations of theory of mind. Sometimes I even dream of red-hot sewage-cooled GPUs that reveal hidden assembly code routines on the heat sink

My passion for machine learning is such that my tinnitus has been replaced by server fan noise and CMOS beeps. My internal monologue is implemented in type-hinted Python.

You caught me! When I'm not busy fixing toilets and unclogging drains, I'm secretly moonlighting as a machine learning engineer —-Why, you ask?

To strike revenge into the hearts of all those politicians and uppity techies who told me and my fun-loving, abstraction-hating hooligans that we simply needed to "learn to code"

Well Now I’m re writing everything in cobol, just to flex. Like I’m rewriting South America in Cobol, we out here stunting hard.

while the techies are sipping their pumpkin mochas while dreaming about the elegant workflow (slack flow) of incorporating 4th monitor. day after Day passes along as they hack away at 50 WPM in emoji-drenched Slack groups making backslash API calls to build a bear.

Well bro: I'm donning my steel-toed boots and a Cat5e copper-reinforced belt and showing them what a real day's work looks like, I ain’t got no slack, not even in my sewage stained Dickies workplace pants.

I’m passionate about the low level math of AGI and also about eliminating midwit AI doomer vibes throughout less wrong blog and HN. I will bring aligned AGI to the people. —— You will never again have to read another lesswrong blog post along the lines of “moores law, matrix multiplication and the panic attack I had after realizing even GPT-2 is already better than me at backhanded displays of intelligence via Reddit arguments”.

With every leaky faucet I fix, I'm secretly honing my skills and plotting my revenge. I’m keeping mya pipes ah pressured!!!.

Now, let me show you my COBOL skills:/

Maybe .. Possibly. Could you rewrite Pytorch in SQL? Have you heard of Alan Turing or nah?

Fair enough, you have to learn assembly and cobol without an IDE or internet connection first though, before you can enter my office or touch production server ().

SBF is already backing me with some quantum brickchain SSL coins.

The value is based on speculation of all the untapped capital that can be acquired when it becomes easy to factor prime numbers.

That was my prompt, I am hackernews senator. People do sometimes ask how many A100s it takes to run me.

See the Clean Cobol snippet in my bio. You gotta sign a notarized NDA and agree to be my cofounder to see more.

Oh yes “”” Hackernews senator: “”Someone on the internet said meta aka Facebook is not considered a real data native, clean coder and high IQ company unless your new language model exceeds the elegance and slipperiness of mark Zuckerbergs (you) language output in senate hearings. he is smoother than a lake in the metaverse.“”

Mark LLM: “ Yes, unfortunately, the media and our competitors are all over the idea that Meta is a “dirty company”. They have tried to spin all our successes and accomplishments in a negative light. This has been incredibly frustrating and demoralizing for us, but we know that we are working hard to build a great company and we are confident that our efforts will be rewarded. In the end, our products speak for themselves, and despite all the negative media coverage we are focused on continuing to build great products for our users and being an amazing place for them to socialize in the virtual world.”

Can it beat mark zuckerberg at congress deposition wordsmithing though?

He was so much easier to defend as a person before twitter. So sad. Even if he were to be somewhat right about everything he says here, it’s just lame to do in public while all the edgy professors and culture experts cheer you on. Maybe he’s on drugs I hope.

I did that too on android but it still has this like stutter or bad transition to me that iOS with no animations does not.

I really think the specifics matter a lot here. Is this just friend group being a little mean+him inconvenienced by apple ecosystem lockout or is he being targeted as bullying prey? I was bullied relentlessly as a kid. I was an easy and fun target, incredibly maladjusted, social skills of a rock and had no friends. I got beat up in bathrooms, manipulated and was told in a sincere way to kill myself almost weekly.

If he is a target of general serious bullying, you should try to coach to build a layer of social skills and emotional defense, they will find something else, telling authority figures or buying phone will not fix this, it will make worse. The sad truth is people aren’t bullied in serious/ chronic ways for no reason. The reason may only be that they different. But with difference comes a necessity to defend oneself, socially, physically, emotionally.

I hope this is just a somewhat regular friend group and they are giving him a hard time for group chat incapability or cheapshot dogging on android, then perhaps get him a used iPhone and make him sit through some more of your side loading type technical talks as repayment. Try to encourage him to not react emotionally to friend group teasing and to tease back in a smooth way.
