They present themselves as great architects, masterminds, appeal to some historical law, providence, predetermination, but they’re all merely a bunch of fucking hustlers.

Because this is what you get in an environment where hustlers get to thrive instead of what they deserve.

True, I didn't consider that... But it's more like, you know this feeling that if I'm not actively resisting something then I'm feeding into it. That kinda thing. Someone has to be a grumpy asshole in the corner

Given that cranberries is how we call it when Western media use stereotypes about Russia, and cranberries themselves being one such stereotype, intentional or not this is a meta-level cranberry joke, sir

How am I supposed to focus on my job in this environment. If anything, it forces me to think of ways to quit it. Along with everything else.

We ain't got much time until a bunch of these high-profile fuckers start doing this. As bad as the current iteration of the AI arms race is, this will make it look harmless in comparison. Shit. Fuck.

In a crippling sway indeed.

Because it’s not about people at all. It’s all merely about sovereignty. About politics. Every single one of you exploits this topic as a means to your own piece of shit ends. Without even realizing it. Nobody gives a shit about people. Go fuck yourselves.

Yes, Komsod, displacement policies, cultural erasure, then forced starvation… But murdering children. I don’t know whom it makes me hate more.

Many others weren’t so lucky. I still don’t know what to think of it. There’s a whole book of stories like this. It was an ethnic cleansing, no matter what they say. And yet. I’m not sure the world _really_ wants to know.

(and that’s without any deep dives into the term “socialism” itself, which eventually ends up being a vague umbrella term for many different forms of anti-capitalism, e.g. Peter Joseph has been writing about it at length recently)

Like, if the text is the same as the previous one, they simply do not differentiate socialism from totalitarianism, in which case their judgement on this matter is as qualified as that of RFK Jr’s regarding vaccines

And if nobody can claim greatness, nobody can deny others dignity either.

Holy shit

About the paper: when we're trying to make sense of long-range connections (whether it's intercolumnar or interregional ones) and the structures they form, should we take into account that a considerable portion of them are inhibitory? Does it modify the model in any way?
