Gwern: I am retiring from fulltime writing (& pseudonymity) to launch **Guardian Angel Inc** and bring GAs to life.

this reads like a less addled version of Steve Yegge, but the same genre

if Gwern is not a pasty white dude with a degree from a top-level US university I will eat my hat

also the probability we can match their now-revealed identity to past far-right/racist content that's not been scrubbed is very close to 1

with a degree from a top-level US university I

why do people feel the need to address gwern as somebody smart?

i have never seen him say anything smart

he mostly seems angry about very autistic and occasionally racist stuff

Gas Town is the weird slop-illustrated hype post from a while back about creating a sort of corporate org chart of LLMs prompting each other. Basic ideas like "what if you had developer LLMs and project manager LLMs and a COO LLM and they all roleplayed with each other" got their own obfuscatory Mad Max themed names to make the whole thing seem more exciting and innovative, and I seem to remember a sentence along the lines of "This is not for anyone for whom token costs are an object." Obviously this was the coolest thing to have ever hit the orange site for a few weeks afterward.
