This website has a serious problem with heresy. If you're pro AI you get hate but if you're pro AI and trans you'll get a lot more hate because how can you go against the group. You should know better is a justification for violence.

Oppression of the few are the oppression of many. Sacrificing the rights and care of few, sacrifices those of many. Taking away the rights and care of few, takes away your own.

When Gen Alpha watches Pulp Fiction, they’re going to think the joke with the “five dollar shake” is that it’s absurdly cheap

Anyone who thinks gender identity has fuck all to do with anything other than gender identity is, at heart, a fucking transphobe. I will not be entertaining questions like "how is it possible for a Trans person to be a transphobe" in regards to this rule.

There’s a trans person calling for trans people who use AI to be forcibly detransitioned. I’ve experienced a lot of harassment at the hands of people like this, and my response to them is: I want you to have universal healthcare that has 100% coverage of any gender affirming procedures.

seize the means of production = leftism destroy the means of production = reactionaryism

Moore’s Law continues apace: we see compounding gains in price performance on a steady clock this pushes computing resources toward abundance, ubiquity, and critically, ACCESSIBILITY LLMs are a means of production that meaningfully alters leverage for technical tasks, and must be seized, not ceded

If you are a trans person saying another trans person should be forcibly detransitioned, no matter the reason, you are not a safe person and shouldn’t be allowed in this community full fucking stop

George: Well, I'm in the files Jerry: You're in the files!? George: I'M IN THE FILES, JERRY!

The secret to happiness is spending 3 hours dancing on 50 mg of weed gummies with your wife

Going home with the hottest person at the club Okay, we’re married, but it’s still true 😤

Anyone expressing positive experiences on the internet is selling something, apparently Makes a convenient excuse to dogpile women on the internet, I guess

This is the left reacting to AI right now. And, yes, this cartoon is real: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Th...

This is unacceptable. If you don’t like what someone says on here, block them and move on. This behavior is no better than Republicans who tried to get people fired for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk.

They're like, "AI doesn't work!!" while I sit here in my home office looking over at my wife, who has no code experience, build super interesting custom tools in immaculate TypeScript and Rust with Opus

Walton Goggins makes a pretty good cowboy

A loooot of people overcorrect in response to things being overhyped to being too cynical instead.

The luddites by their very own history and stated goals would destroy the data center before ever letting a single peasant use its capacity, just as the luddites rallied to exclude former peasants from ever producing textiles.

The future should be Universal Basic Superman You're able to relax and rest, healed with technology that feels miraculously magical, attended to by robots, while being able to immerse yourself in that which you love www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOL9...

guy who thinks GLP-1 is a type of LLM

Free speech protections are so important, and it makes me sad so many of its supposed advocates just take the stance of, "I can say whatever I want without consequence, but my political enemies should be round up and shot for wrongthink"

*sigh* okay, fine, capitalism, you win again you crazy bastard

(walking up to a sapphic couple) so who drives and who feeds the other one French fries while they drive?

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it

Get to go clubbing with my wife tonight, yay

Typewriter user talking to someone using a word processor:

Guy who thinks “inflation fetish” is getting findommed by rising prices

*singing as I get ready for the gym* where have all the sports bras gone? loooooong time passing

I don't and have never identified as a Marxist, but I'm reasonably confident if Marx were alive today, his perspectives on politics and technology would be similar to mine

This person could not be more wrong if they tried (including doing the whole "they"-ing a trans woman thing)

werner herzog and arnold schwarzenegger are both variants on the austro-bavarian accent in English, proving that it is the best accent family for either dramatic or comedic delivery depending on which variant of it you have and how you modulate your delivery

What really gets to me about this tendency to make perfect the enemy of good: Even if your promised revolution is "right around the corner," that doesn't mean that everyone's lives will get measurably better, right away. There has to be a fucking WAR first."

which mostly takes me back to my generalized position of “even if the medium term effect of LLMs is a mere 10% increase in net productivity it’s literally the biggest single advancement since, like, the steam engine”

"take a hike" oh you care about my cardiovascular health? thank you!

tired: yelling at LLMs on Bluesky wired: flipping off a cybertruck IRL (seriously try this it's massively cathartic)

One way to put this: if you treat every political interaction like a grad school discussion, you're never going to wield power

I unironically love to see it I don't even have to wait for robotics to get better for the trash to take itself out! 🥰

Marx would be like "my monthly crowdfund that my buddy Engels pays could be so much lower if they built more apartments bro"

I responded to this tweet on Twitter saying we needed to build more housing, and Troutski called me a "developer shill" I see this attitude so much with self-described Marxists, even though Marx would scream in horror at this kind of behavior in his name

It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance or just plain ignorance to say something like this on Bluesky, a platform that does not hide the fact that it uses AI extensively

OpenAI is the Yahoo! of the AI era You would think Google is the Google of the AI era, but, no, it's actually MSN Search *Anthropic* is the Google of the AI era

The funny thing is that the bubble pop is liable to accelerate more productive uses of AI—the Dotcom Crash worked out pretty well for the Internet, just not for the first generation of internet companies.

Hype bros: we'll have the machine god in the next few years! All of our problems will be solved forever! Luddites: AI is obviously still as bad as it was that one time I used free ChatGPT in 2023 Reality: steady, moderately fast progress in a way that will disrupt a lot of industries

Another way this manifests on the left is fighting against imperfect solutions or harm reduction because the revolution or whatever is right around the corner. This is a position of privilege. Saying we'll have communism soon doesn't help the person starving from SNAP cuts today.

If you consider doing this because you don’t like tools the whole industry is using, get a better hobby

Timothy Snyder has a concept called "politics of eternity" that drives a lot of reactionary behavior. Basically, people get caught up in their prior convictions and cling to the idea that a past understanding of the world must be true. This applies a lot to how pop left Luddism works as well.

I think that's kinda the problem in general - on the Internet, a lot of people either used it once in 2023 and have no idea that it's not that bad anymore, or melt their brains on Twitter and blame all the AI Nazi shit on there on the AI rather than the Nazis

A nice thing about all the no kings rallies (that are also why they drive some parts of the left nuts) is how much exposure they give you to “we take those.” Dudes whose signifiers are all fucked up for the bsky/tumblr/discord discourse but will fucking clock a Nazi that tries to kidnap a kid.
