I think that’s more about Wolfram giving a clickbait headline to some dicking around he did in the name of “the ruliad”, a revolutionary conceptual innovation of the Wolfram Physics Project that is best studied using the Wolfram Language, brought to you by Wolfram Research.
The full ruliad—which appears at the foundations of physics, mathematics and much more—is the entangled limit of all possible computations. […] In representing all possible computations, the ruliad—like the “everything machine”—is maximally nondeterministic, so that it in effect includes all possible computational paths.
Unrelated William James quote from 1907:
The more absolutistic philosophers dwell on so high a level of abstraction that they never even try to come down. The absolute mind which they offer us, the mind that makes our universe by thinking it, might, for aught they show us to the contrary, have made any one of a million other universes just as well as this. You can deduce no single actual particular from the notion of it. It is compatible with any state of things whatever being true here below.
that is best studied using the Wolfram Language,
isn’t this just a particularly weird lisp </troll>

Gentlemen, it’s been an honour sneering w/ you, but I think this is the top 🫡 . Nothings gonna surpass this (at least until FTX 2 drops)
no fucking way

“im saving the world from AI! me talking to epstein doesn’t matter!!!”
€5 say they’ll claim he was talking to jefffrey in an effort to stop the horrors.
no not the abuse of minors, he was asking epstein for donations to stop AGI, and it’s morally ethical to let rich abusers get off scott free if that’s the cost of them donating money to charitable causes such as the alignment problem /s

I dont like how I can envision this and find it perfectly plausible

You know, it makes the exact word choices Eliezer chose on this post: https://awful.systems/post/6297291 much more suspicious. “To the best of my knowledge, I have never in my life had sex with anyone under the age of 18.” So maybe he didn’t know they were underage at the time?

Nice to hear from you today. Eliezer: you were the highlight of the weekend!

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.

He’ll probably do this by running an agent that uses a chatbot with the playwright mcp to occasionally scrape the site, then feed that to a second agent who’ll filter the posts for suspect behavior, then to another agent to summarize and create a report, then another agent which decides if the report is worth it for him to read and message him through his socials. Maybe another agent with db access to log the flagged posts at some point.
All this will be worth it to no one except the bot vendors.

At this point I’m starting the suspect that they were actually all produced in a lab somewhere on that island

I take it you haven’t heard of miricult.com, because this isn’t the first time evidence has come out of Yudkowsky being a pedophile. Some of us even know the identity of the victim.
Still, crazy that Yudkowsky was (successfully) blackmailed for pedophilia in 2014 but still kept it up

eagerly awaiting the multi page denial thread
I’m looking forward to the triple layered glomarization denial.

Its not just a Yud thing - I’ve been told its baked into the culture of the Rationalist grouphouse scene(they like to take in young runaways you see).

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.
Someone is probably hawking AI driven backups as we type

the REAL reason Yudkowsky endorsed the “superbabies” project is so Epstein and his pedophile friends have more kids to fuck. It all makes sense now!

Great to hear from you. I was just up at MIT this week and met with Seth Lloyd (on Wednesday) and Scott Aaronson (on Thursday) on the “Cryptography in Nature” small research conference project. These interactions were fantastic. Both think the topic is wonderful and innovative and has promise. […] I did contact Max Tegmark about a month ago to propse the essay contest approach we discussed. He and his colleagues offered support but did not think that FQX should do it. Reasons they gave were that they saw the topic as too narrow and too technical compared to the essay contests they have been doing. It is possible that the real reason was prudence to avoid FQX, already quite “controversial” via Templeton support to become even more so via Epstein-related sponsorship of prizes. […] Again, I am delighted to have gotten such very string affirmation, input and scientific enthusiasm from both Seth and Scott. You have very brilliantly suggested a profound topical focus area.
