“my favourite conspiracy theory is the one that Michelle Obama is a man.”

That isn’t even a good conspiracy. (that is also why it is a dogwhistle, if you enjoyed those kinds of crazy conspiracies you would say ‘transvestigations where everybody famous is actually trans’ is my fave (and yes they do it to everybody, it is very dumb). Focussing only on Michelle is odd, and shows in the kind of environments you hang out with (My example would be Andrew Tate, but it also isn’t funny, as it is part of the wider ‘make trans people unsafe’ campaign, and people should understand that))).

If it isn’t on this quick sneer page, you can just look at the posts with a lot of replies, either shows it broke containment, or somebody went full debate mode.

It was amazing that maupin went ‘people accuse me of being a duginist and it was crazy, never read any of his work when people said that. Minutes later I have read his work now however, and quite agree with him’. (Badly paraphrased however).

Also lol at crp.

Yeah, im just saying it exists. Not saying people make similar bad life choices to me that make you realize this stuff exists. (If you do want to however thought slimes ‘hmm borger king’ video about maupin is quite something).

I think they are feeling like they are riding the wave. The unstoppable wave of ‘achtually we are right’ and they learned nothing from the expert drug users and dont know the wave is about to reach the high water mark.

See, no math in any of those talks.

There isn’t much about this guy on the internet.

There is actually, but it is mostly on youtube. Anyway he aligned himself to Caleb Maupin. A colorblind communist who thinks brown is red. (I dont think he is actually colorblind, but he likes Dugin).

Another one of Neals plans work better in fiction than reality.

‘I asked the AI to help me with our process and the AI actually had no suggestions, we are already on the top of our game. turns out "<self congratulatory bullshit line from the PR materials>’ wasn’t just pr’.

Eric “my new theory of physics has not maths in it” Weinstein?

But commissioning a porn artist is hard as they lost their payment providers and bank accounts, while the slop machines got off with a american authors only slap on the wrist.

The LW types not that much, at least not more than your average online rightwinger I think.

Also they have memory holed that Scott claimed stopping smoking would help with covid. Not because there was proof of it, but just because he dislikes smokers. Maximum truth seeking my ass.

Taxis dating and food. Love how the ‘innovation’ of AI is now just going after the uberfication targets of last time.

And the manifesto but just makes me think that this will be the first AI to attempt a mass shooting. Unhinged ahistorical manifesto usually precludes that. ‘Roman siegeworks’ what? (This isnt about siegeworks, it is about roman discipline, they should have thought about a defensive wall from the start. (It even has a technical name which I have forgotten). Literally the wrong conclusion imho. And if you look at the wiki page, the whole story about them building the defenses in the night is just made up (also the word is ‘Contravallation’ (which was also in the manifesto image, I need new glasses)).

Also think the step from ‘victorious empire’ to ‘empire laying in ruins’ the next paragraph is just bad writing.

And a last thing, the whole fadeing in of the text/images on the site is annoying, and also breaks for me at times. Causing the images to fade in and out randomly. “Made by sleep-deprived engineers and sheer will” that tracks.

“Behind a one-way mirror,” They are watching you eat.

I miss mp3s being widely available. The lack of easy piracy also coincided with me just spending less money on music at all. (Lot of other factors as well).

However I think some of those other streaming services provide lot better rates per song for the artists than Spotify.

This has been a problem for a while esp with podcast providers, who put ice ads in podcasts and then the podcasts get blamed. (Despite having very little control over it, and the control also often being ignored).

Dont know about that incident, but that is different than scanning for csam which is different than scanning for faces which is different from feeding your images into an genAI training set.

You could think that they are doing all this anyway (which I think the AI only companies do btw, vut doubt the bigger ones do, esp Apple).

Somebody got fed up they were only evaluated on “%of people who adopted AI”. This feels very malicious compliance to me.

So for my gaming needs I check reddit every now and then, and on phone it had after the comments ended a related answers section, which gave related answers 99% of them in the same sub.

Now they out some ai generated shit between that and the answers are just horrible generic slop.

Check out this answer for example: https://www.reddit.com/answers/3c67990a-d1a2-4f86-b1e4-c2f3bb54803d/

Very important context here. I was looking at the starsector subreddit. (A 2d arcade like space shooter) This is about a minecraft like building game. (Most of the advice is also useless (how to survive: ‘use mods!’).

If you called me a boomer in my mentality, I wouldn’t really disagree. I still believe that things like cash flow and return on capital matter.

Guess im part boomer as well. (Holy shit we are so fucked if this is a “boomer” thought in the stock market)

E: I had hoped this part was a bit and he would reflect more on it later.

I am not here to belittle AI, it’s the future, and I recognize that we’re just scratching the surface in terms of what it can do.

But turns out it wasn’t. What if this is it? (And im talking about AI as it exists now not some magical other tech from the future), the gpt 5 release was meh, we reached the end of the S-curve (or hit our (local) maximum, if non-S curve curves are more your thing). He even admits the tech doesn’t work that well in his own article.
