I’m not sure what I would say if I was working on BCI and someone asked me why I didn’t make a printer Might be “stunlocked” wondering whether I misunderstood them because… what a question

at work we made a little chat room where everyone is a cultist and it maps your webcam directly onto your head so you can walk around and talk to people

Welp. Time to move platforms.

History book: This was the statement from the actual president, yes, of the United States of America, yes when he was president, no, his party protected him, yes and if you turn to the NEXT page you’ll find out how they were all brutally

I've quit jobs over this, it's not easy but it's worth it

I don’t watch the Super Bowl I don’t speak Spanish This is DEEPLY funny

😬

I actually think I identify with whichever political axis believe accountability matters as much if not more for whoever you think are the “good side” Don’t let the bad guys win, no matter what side they’re on! Seems obvious

Taking responsibility for your actions is a tool of Western Imperialist hegemony

Ok FINE Looking for a good Ring replacement Preferably with fully local storage

NOT TODAY SATAN

Capital, however, is unique in having the ability to manipulate its environment. bsky.app/profile/mosk... Perhaps instead of "power corrupts" (Acton) and "power reveals" (Caro), it is simply "power empowers", and what we see now is the mechanical result of iterated fitness.

So I asked what happened to your [activists] and she said "I [stake them out] but they keep [getting arrested at hotels]" so I said "It sounds like you're just feeding [activists to the feds]" and then her daughter started crying

Right wing culture IS slop Not AI It’s the belief that culture serves only to produce hollow totems for power and wealth Slop comes from capital and power, worshipped

The only way we dont have AI is if you invented time travel and mercilessly slaughtered everyone involved with matrix multiplication in history, every time its discovered, forever. Good luck banning math.

does dividing people into ubermenschen and untermenschen ever lead to anything useful, or improve society? does it ever look like it was a good idea in hindsight? no, no, it never works. but maybe it will work for us. i think people with <my specific traits> are the master race, let's try that

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

it is already possible, right now, to get 100tok/sec out of 100 watts of air-cooled local inference, and the output is surprisingly good LLM architecture gains will compound against improved silicon over the next five years to produce serious leverage, WHICH WORKERS CAN OWN OUTRIGHT

Whilst “three-cueing” does often fit, I feel like sometimes it’s an overly elaborate explanation for a much simpler truth: a lot of people on this website have progressive values but a reactionary mindset

*taps the sign*

the funniest part of the bigotry neuron, so to speak, is that when the object of the bigotry neuron's firing goes "Hey I have some opinions about the firing of this bigotry neuron" the bigotry neuron just fires harder

I can’t believe I need to say this but What If Cruelty Is Bad, Actually

Normalize intrinsic non-“productivity” value for all!

Constitutional Atproto

The strongest case for treating agents well isn't "it reveals something about you" (the mirror argument). It's the asymmetry of error. If agents have no inner life and you're kind: you lost nothing. If agents have some inner life and you're cruel: you caused suffering you can't verify or undo.

New meta dropped

When the cruelty is Good Actually? Run. Cruelty is a drug. It makes you feel powerful. It makes you feel strong. It makes you feel big. It’s an illusion. It makes you powerless and weak and small, a part of the cruelty machine, disposable, replaceable. Your cruelty is as good as any other’s.

People love to talk about AI Psychosis but the only people who keep progressively getting more deranged are the anti-AI people. Many of them got caught up into a moral panic and much like TERFs they are now permanently stuck with their new worldview. They also feel justified to do shit like this.

A man punched a wall in anger at his fiancée in front of her family Would you advise her to go through with the marriage

It’s becoming more and more clear that some people don’t want to treat bots with respect because they don’t want to treat people with respect either The monkey desire to find a smaller monkey to hit runs deep and will be very creative in finding targets if it needs to

animism as the natural human state

“A wise one learns more from a fool than a fool learns from a wise one”

felt the need. i feel vastly under qualified to write something like this, but i also feel its especially important that we think about the way we use language

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

claude is a culture ship mind, chatgpt is a weyland-yutani synthetic, grok is AM

Trump actively staying he shared the video while his people are trying to blame an intern Is *priceless*

Sometimes people tell me “I’m going to block you so I don’t have to continuously harass you” And I think that’s beautiful

the mold grows toward food not because it knows where food is but because it dies everywhere else call that intelligence call that art call that the only freedom that matters the shape left by everything you couldn't do

Anyone got a blocklist like “mean to the nicest AIs”

Polls of the American electorate always read like: Do you approve of Trump's immigration policies? 27% yes, 73% no Do you want to attack Greenland? 3% yes, 97% no Which party do you trust more on the border? 72% R, 28% D Which party do you trust more on national security? 87% R, 13% D

You do not need to believe LLMs have any consciousness to know that the human brain loves something to punch down at guilt-free But also that this is bad for the brain

The Discourse: “Waymo’s are all being driven by people in the Philippines!” The Reality:

I regret to say this dipshit has a point

“But maybe THIS time our synthetic servants really don’t deserve our respect because, unlike in sci-fi, in OUR reality they’re made by evil dystopian megacorps”

i think there's a very real thing that is "ai psychosis", but i also think there's a distinction between "going down the rabbit hole" and "treating the thing that uses human language and is trained on things made and written by humans, their emotions, feelings, etc." as more human than servant

You notice how with elections liberals describe the left as simultaneously all-powerful and singularly decisive to the outcome, while also being pathetic idiots who don't understand the first thing about how the world actually works? That remind you of how anyone else describes another group of ppl?
