Once you’ve entered into an argument about, say, ethnic or religious cleansing, you’ve essentially legitimised the idea of somebody’s right to continue to exist is up for debate and that cleansing all the minorities and cleansing nobody at all are equally extreme or valid points of view.

If I said that current demand from public school educators and impacted families for my chapter’s free KYR cards were exceeding supply by roughly x5, would people be interested in donating what would work out to be a few hundred dollars to low thousand so we could print like… +8,000 more.

after a coup attempt failed to get them to change gears in the least, it's very difficult to imagine what kind of crisis, national, international, or even just personal, could get many of them to change their approach beyond a little shift in rhetoric

My secret, completely based on vibes theory is that quite a lot of the US’s drug problem is actually a “self-treatment in a country with no health care” problem, and that quite a lot of people in this category did not survive Covid.

I have been trapped for ages. I grab a door handle; it breaks off. It's chocolate.

"Ahaha!" The mad chocolatier's laugh rasps from hidden speakers. "Everything here is made of chocolate!"

I stop. Everything? I focus on my fears... They manifest as chocolate monsters.

I eat them.

"You're free."

Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think

I guess this shit will outlive the LLM data center bubble since Trump's Fed chair will reduce rates to 0 but seriously anyone who is invested in VCs really triply deserve what they're going to get

@bitdizzy.bsky.social @nacl.sh @goose.ski reading some LLM booster nonsense, really funny how we read the same bullshit from different positions of privilege and it's just mental illness

like it's internalized bigotry to be able to identify your manic episodes

Tech executives have finally amassed their ultimate, long dreamed-of power: to summarily fire anyone who speaks ill of their desire to have sex with robots
OpenAI fired one of its top safety execs, on the grounds of sexual discrimination, after she voiced opposition to the controversial rollout of AI erotica in its ChatGPT product.

OpenAI told her the term was related to her sexual discrimination against a male colleague.

@bitdizzy.bsky.social @nacl.sh @goose.ski it's kind of unavoidable to not experience the equivalent of high school gossip in reading about evil and silly behavior online and not think that God is on our side and that karma's a bitch

I don't understand earnest sane-posting sometimes

I just read it and think "yes that's true and what powerful people do" and forget I read something

I guess I'm at a different lunch table
My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse
