I hear you. I feel weirdly guilty about seeing this coming for so long.
It's like...they're trying to do a Peronism by hijacking working class ideas for their weird right wing bullshit, but they're lazy computer touchers so they just seem unhinged to outsiders.
I know that Robot Hell doesn't usually allow humans but I bet the Robot Devil would make an exception for these two, if only for the cheap tech support.
OpenAI but for Taylorism
I mean, the moon doesn't smell like the craft trailer, I'll grant you that, but the dirt is made of razor blades, which is bad.
Don't forget that the soil is incredibly toxic and that what little atmosphere exists smells like getting continuously Dutch Ovened forever
Isn't that his full-time job? (derogatory)
this whole “superbabies will save us from AI” presupposes that the superbabies are immune to the pull of LW ideas.
Well, if they fall for less wrong, then we know they're not all that smart
Non Fungible Tanks?
What if HPMOR but Harry is Charlie Manson?

Fascism is all about vibes with no underlying structure. AI slop satisfies that specification perfectly.
Thanks, fr!
Speaking of non-german speakers, I hope poptart is doing alright. Haven't heard anything of him since the blackout.
I can't find the exact quote because google has decayed into hot garbage juice, but there's a line in Gideon the Ninth where Harrow asks Gideon how she thinks necromancy works exactly, and Gideon says something like, "I don't know, maybe you think about bones really hard until something happens?"
That's how LW people think actual intelligence works.
A) True, though I got an older model on sale. That said, it is a tradeoff. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
B) I'm an adhd caveman who came from a LightPhone II. It helps to have an appetite for mild annoyance when stepping outside the regular tech ecosystems.
Edit: Apologies for sounding defensive, wanted to share my personal experience and ended up simping for software. @rook is 100% right that options are slim and fiddly!
Yep that's a brickin
Plus 1 for GrapheneOS, has been pretty solid so far. Also, it seems that police imaging software doesn't work on it yet!
I'll tell you this for free, we gotta do something about all these trenches!
I can kind of understand how the out-in-the-open fascist monsters are created. Hell, they all seem to be made in the same factory.
What I can't get my headmeat around is what makes men like Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Keir Starmer tick. What the fuck drives these hollow lukewarm maniacs to spend an entire career struggling to get to the top of the system, only to promptly wither in the heat of a real crisis?
rpg.net gets caught being unfathomably based (2018)
Attached: 1 image Good move from the mods at rpg.net! Even more relevant today than when it happened in 2018. #uspol #ttrpg #rpg #gaming #resist #humanity #GoodVsEvil
From the Uplifting News Department, an event that was brought to our attention by Wandering.shop member David Croyle. Specifically, that time that the administrators of rpg.net bluntly declared that their website is officially a No Nazis Bar.
There were no follow-up questions: https://wandering.shop/@croyle/113980700961699526
Nashville Developer Makes RealPage, but for Renters
Looks like a local boy did good.
I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.
I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

The System is Borked, We Need an Upgrade
Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.
I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.
Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.
Salesforce invites a horse into the hospital
"Let me get this straight," he said. "You're hosting a 'future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?"
John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
In a questionable new trend, supermarkets in the South now seem to be selling bullets right out of a dispenser.
When you think MURDER, think MARCUS MUNITIONS!
