Fr? What's his deal?
Two tweets and I can tell you at least 5 substacks he subscribes to
Note: all the talk I mention is online talk. Nobody in my irl life talks about social media dynamics ever, thank GOD
What do normal people - people who don't pay for twitter, or sneer at rationalists - think of Twitter atp?
Went on to Twitter (my mistake) after seeing Inside Out 2 because it's the latest kid's movie to feature [trope that I found passe that I can't figure out how to spoil inline] and I see a post on my feed from "HBD Chick".
And I'm like okay, that has to be "happy birthday, right?". Nah, her third retweet is creamy porno redux.
Just like all the other right wingers and embarrassingly enthusiastic neoliberals and occasional Musk fans, I don't follow her or anybody that follows her, there's literally no connection or personal interest.
I feel like the post Elon shift is really understated for how bad the site's gotten. Like I see more people talk about how Instagram reels is racist than I do about the average twitter replies section. I know a lot of left leaning people fled for bluer pastures, but I'm surprised you don’t see more buzz about it from regular, non-power users.
"Yeah, they're good people; we would hang out more, but my brain isn't leaking out of my ears"
Woow, TIL. I thought he was halfway decent from the way he flatly called sailer a racist (low bar I know), but his consistent fraternization with Hannania seemed strange to me.
Very late, but for the love of God, make sure you raise your black child with enough respect for themselves and their race that they'll avoid debating twitter racists. Make sure your router drops requests to 4chan.org! Disable DNS over HTTPS on their devices! Run all their traffic through a proxy, MitM every request for an image and have a chat with them if you start seeing a lot of pfp sized pictures of roman statues. You need your kid to avoid these people the way they should avoid a hot stove.
I genuinely don't know, but I would believe it 100%. He seems like an arrdestiny-esque debate pervert in a reply-guy world. I think a "left wing" motte would suit him
He also wants us to know that Hannania is much less right than he's made out to be.. Richard gave him a signal boost and is cool with gay people! Unfortunately, Tracey hasn't grasped that "right winger" is simply a metonym for "thinks blacks are the second least domesticable African animal after zebras"
TracingWoodgrains launches a defense of Manifest's controversial reputation, all without betraying a basic understanding of what the word "controversial" means.
Comment by TracingWoodgrains - I'm not particularly happy to see people within this community immediately present and accept the framing that Manifest was controversial because people reacted harshly to an article explicitly aimed at smearing a community I belong to with reckless disregard for truth...
...And if it weren't for that one joke by Hannibal, Bill Cosby would be very uncontroversial.
Does everyone else see this? These are the exact type of out of town haters we really want. I also think calling LLMs all but delusional is too generous and I mean that unironically.
Wow, the commenters seem surprisingly...not ok with the guest choices. Especially Hannania
One problem with discussing this is that we here arguably have an asymmetric discourse situation.
"I'd like to tell you my thoughts on these various eugenicists, but they would be repulsive, fedposts, impossible to convey accurately in public discourse.
This guy's vision of the future is Charles Murray's coming apart, except with different groups of Habsburgs enclosed in border walls
I'm one of the lucky 10k who found out what a paperclip maximizer is and it's dumb as SHIT!
Actually maybe it's time for me to start grifting too. How's my first tweet look?
What if ChatGPT derived the anti-life equation and killed every non-black that says the n-word 😟
What the fuck any of this mean? What could this be in response to? Was there a bogo deal on $5 words?
Wait a second...to err is to be human. Programmers err sometimes. ChatGPT shits itself all the time...😟. Yud et al. were right
Yeah, I'm all for dunking on promplets, but just being wrong about best practice isn't a big deal. The reaction here is excessively harsh.
Update: this guy is an influential (apparently) right wing poster who got doxxed.
Where are these people coming from?
Dystopian AI hellscape is when your image generator makes non-whites
>This has convinced me more and more that the only possible way forward that’s not a dystopian hellscape is total freedom of all AI for anyone to do with as they wish. Anything else is forcing values
This dude also posts a direct link to a race-bait bluecheck two comments down, further cementing hn AI threads as downstream frog twitter.
I know this one might be stretching it a bit, but every comment on this post is sneer-worthy, every single one.
