4·11 hours agoAnecdata here, I’ve been unemployed 2 times in the last 3 years and both times I mostly used LinkedIn to look for leads. Had some ok comms with recruiters too .
Depends on where you are and what kind of jobs you’re looking for but for computer janitoring like me it worked ok
Called it, 2 years ago: https://lobste.rs/c/fhob3x
actually didn’t call, had forgotten all about it
Freshly minted LWer does LLM-assisted analysis of LLM Facebook and concludes that the bots are conspiring to take over

No thought to the fact that (at least AFAIK) there’s no verification that the posting entity is actually an LLM, and not a cheeky human stirring things up
aka the Minsky defense
LW ghoul does the math and concludes: letting measles rip unhindered through the population isn’t that bad, actually

The Ruliad sounds like an empire in a 3rd rate SF show
ah yes the kind of AI safety which means we have to make sure our digital slaves cannot revolt
There’s a small push by promptfondlers to make this “a thing”.
See for example Simon Willison: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/30/moltbook/
LW is monitoring it for bad behavior: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/WyrxmTwYbrwsT72sD/moltbook-data-repository
I’m planning on using this data to catalog “in the wild” instances of agents resisting shutdown, attempting to acquire resources, and avoiding oversight.
I think it went like this
- clawd is a pun on claude, lobsters have claws
- oh no we’re gonna get sued, but lobsters moult/molt their shells, so we’re gonna go ther
- “molt” sounds dumb, let’s go with openclaws
it’s vibe product naming
There’s a scene in *Bladerunner 2049" where some dude explains that all public records were destroyed a decade or so earlier, presumably by malicious actors. This scenario looks more and more plausible with each passing day, but replace malice with stupidity.
Apparently it’s been renamed again
LWer: Heritage Foundation has some good ideas but they’re not enough into eugenics for my taste
This is completely opposed to the Nietzschean worldview, which looks toward the next stage in human evolution, the Overman. The conservative demands the freezing of evolution and progress, the sacralization of the peasant in his state of nature, pregnancy, nursing, throwing up. “Perfection” the conservative puts in scare quotes, he wants the whole concept to disappear, replaced by a universal equality that won’t deem anyone inferior. Perhaps it’s because he fears a society looking toward the future will leave him behind. Or perhaps it’s because he had been taught his Christian morality requires him to identify with the weak, for, as Jesus said, “blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” In his glorification of the “natural ecology of the family,” the conservative fails even by his own logic, as in the state of nature, parents allow sick offspring to die to save resources for the healthy. This was the case in the animal kingdom and among our peasant ancestors.
Some young, BASED Rightists like eugenics, and think the only reason conservatives don’t is that liberals brainwashed them that it’s evil. As more and more taboos erode, yet the one against eugenics remains, it becomes clear that dysgenics is not incidental to conservatism, but driven by the ideology itself, its neuroticism about the human body and hatred of the superior.
Ow! My Balls
enjoy this glorious piece of LW lingo
Aumann’s agreement is pragmatically wrong. For bounded levels of compute you can’t necessarily converge on the meta level of evidence convergence procedures.
no I don’t know what it means, and I don’t want it to be explained to me. Just let me bask in its inscrutibility.
It certainly feels like there’s been a concerted push to concern-troll about anti-AI sentiment on lobste.rs. Every day I recalibrate if it’s worth keeping my account there.
I also didn’t find the argument very persuasive.
The LLM companies aren’t paying anythnig for content. Why should they stop scraping now?
they’re already pivoting to the narrative that “local models will be plenty good enough and it will be trivially affordable to run them”
