and now i am inexplicably deeply upset? I don't understand why a chart would do this to me. I thought charts were my friends.

I saw a sankey chart and thought “lol whenever i see one of these i think of that stupid thing” and then i looked and realized it is in fact that chart

I’m not surprised, given it’s the tech class.

I do not know who or what that is. I'm very thankful.

Gotta wait your turn

looollll

I absolutely hate that it is in fact actually important for me to know any of this bullshit, but it is, and also if nobody is mapping out an HBO miniseries based on that Lum thread, then I will.

I would really appreciate it if my Mythos Knowledge (Harry Potter Fanfic Cognition Hazard) would stop increasing so fast.

Find it quite amusing that in the supposed elite of the elite of the AI industry with absolutely all filters for the most zealous devotees, the self-reported satisfaction still only reaches ~60%.

Could have been the Smash Bros/Evangelion one where Shinji becomes Kirby and Wolf takes becomes Hikari and goes to the Mario Tennis academy.

man why'd you have to remind me of that whole thing

I'm shocked and horrified to learn I have such a gap in my weird internet subculture knowledge

Yeah no this is super duper true

Source: lots of people I know who work in AI

No this is real and a few years ago they were all into crypto

I just can't get over the fact that these people literally have no qualifications whatsoever. Their thoughts on "AI" are as valuable as my thoughts on space travel. And yet we get credulous articles like that one. How does a reporter not think to examine what their actual qualifications are?

Yeah ditto on the no personal knowledge but both the AI folks and Aella are based out of Lighthaven: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/t... www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Thanks!

Hilarious sentence in there: "At first, he [Yudkowsky] resisted being profiled." Roose should've said, "OK fine" just for the comic effect of how hard Yudkowsky would've walked back his "resistance."

Right ideally someone would just pull the data from ATUS.

Is there an explainer for how all of this is connected?

I thought this was like an AI character that ppl fck with and I’m not completely convinced it’s a real psn

Why did I - you know what that’s enough internet for me today

Wow that is a dire year. And I say that as a chronically ill disabled person!

My takeaway from this is there were 4 times she had sex and didn't cry afterwards.

143 days without going outside!

What

😭

Silicon Valley has bought D.C.

No thank you

I mean that just sounds very potentially fun!

Man I wish right

That's okay, I keep reading it as "skankey charts."

"37 people came in aioli" is an uncomfortable thought

We can choose not to let them ruin things because if they ever figure out they have that power, then they'll try to ruin everything.

Oh, man, I haven't thought about this in years. Yeaaaah, those were the same people as the AI fuckers we got now.

Normally I’d not point blame at the gal here, but aella is WEIRD weird so I have to wonder if she like, did something very strange to them

We do know who the fluffer is I am certain. She is the one who had a baby with one of the men there iirc at a later date.

Why would you... expose the internet to this? I .. I wish I could turn back the 5 minutes it took me to realize what this was so I never knew. Stahp, this is abhorent.

This sounds like slut shaming.

It's ironic that my first interaction with a guy from Silicon Valley, after friending him on Twitter, was to be exposed to very very bizarre things that he liked on his feed.

Do you think you could space some of these posts out over a few days? This is a LOT to absorb in one evening! 😅😅😅

The fact that I actually understood every last word of this made me stare at a wall and wonder why I have done this to what's left of my mind, and all I could come up with is just muttering, why didn't they make My Immortal their holy text instead? Make it stop. Make it stop."

I was going to say, I don't think the sex cult is even in the top 10 of my list of objectionable TPOT shit.

My real objection is somehow they made a gang bang unsexy. How bad to you have to be at this.....

what did I just read

@scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz can we get a skywatch label for memetic sankey horrors?

made a sankey chart explaining my experience

Hey now… it could be ANY of her holes. I assume performing in a gangbang is probably not that easy if you’re not used to it or not a porn actor. And if they filmed it, that’s a lot of awkward position to take for the cameras to get a good look at the action.

That is absolutely Sankey

Okay, I know this is way off the point, but I desperately need an interview with one of those 15 ‘Didn’t cum’ respondents. What do you MEAN you went to Aella’s birthday gangbang and didn’t cum? How??? What in God’s name was going on in that room???????

Don't take a photo. Take a fatto. Keep the meals and moments with your people. Color fades after 72 hours and returns every anniversary. I built fatto. It's now live on iPhone. apps.apple.com/us/app/fatto... clearvista.ai

please stop making us know this

oh dear!!!!

Lord forbid a girl have hobbies. But no honestly they do sound super culty in an evangelical way. Both sides of this spectrum scare the hell out of me.

Well, there it is: the most unerotic "gangbang" porn I ever read...

I’ve heard that playing Tetris for a few hours can help with that.

their tastes are... unconventional, this is what they allowed to be seen.

‘70smaxxing, basically

Maxxing p(coom)

SBF and his girlfriend

You would think so and yet so many wealthy people kept their good friend Jeffery around for his great parties. Rich people are as vulnerable to "hot girl WANTS to sleep with you" as anyone else.

The arrow of time, unfortunately, remains undefeated.

I’m both happy and sad now that I know about this. Good on her for the careful tracking.

I find myself very bothered by "didn't cum" the way I imagine some people are bothered by "they". If you're going to use that spelling there you should also be using cummed.

I think his agent may book him for anything and sometimes that bites him in the ass. At least he's kind of getting better with vetting.

So this is where the paella graphic comes from

This is more disturbing than the Thomas the Tank Engine gifs.

I don't think I ever noticed the "Friends" bit, which... imagine being Aella's friend and still having to fill out the Google Form and go through two layers of filter. Imagine getting rejected by the autofilter.

but did they have the shirt?

I happened to be on twitter the time the aella stuff unfolded and read it all with morbid fascination lmao. I’m no longer on there. I’d never heard of the Harry Potter stuff, that’s crazy

Where do we start? With Harry Potter? With aella? He barely even knew who Charlie Kirk was before gkkk

I see this and the mind immediately moves (fortunately) to how she’d always blow off critique of her self-taught “statistics” by people who were actually well trained in statistics. Always infuriating seeing willful ignorance applauded as rational intelligence

I can't be the only person wondering: how much did a ticket cost?

I fucking hate nerds
