Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

  • what do you guys think about ai

    Jump

  • I'm a fan of the technology, I've been using it for various projects and I see a lot of potential. But there's widespread anti-AI sentiment on the Fediverse. I notice you're getting a lot of downvotes for merely asking about it.

  • The people in the dark can't turn on the TV to hear it.

  • Americans are waking up. A grand reckoning awaits us

    Jump

  • Give it some time.

    Americans have been like this for generations, steadily getting worse. Time's up.

  • what does this "written by ai?" button do?

    Jump

  • Ironically, these "AI detectors" are themselves AI. So if you think AI is powered by environment-despoiling puppy-grinders then you're turning the crank every time you click that button, and if you don't trust AI then you're trusting AI to tell you whether to trust something.

  • And yet I don't see any of that. Lots of people complain about "the algorithm" but it seems to be working well for me.

  • Is there an endgame to Trump or trying to obtain? Or is he making it up along the way at the cost of Americans?

    Jump

  • Trump, personally?

    He has never been loved. He desperately wants to be loved. But he has absolutely no idea what that means, and so nothing he does is working or can ever work. He thinks adulation from adoring fans is love. He thinks money is love. He thinks being powerful means people will love him, and that hurting other people makes him powerful. The "there are only winners and losers in life and to be a winner you need to make other people losers" thing he learned from his terrible father.

    But since none of that is true he's got a gaping black hole inside him that never gets filled no matter how much he tries to cram these things into it.

    If he were younger I'd have some vague slight hope that he might someday be able to recover from this. But it's far too late now, he's a broken husk of a human being that does nothing but hurt everyone around him. I hope he dies immediately, if not sooner.

  • Do you think that everyone have a "mask" that they use to show a different "self" to different people and that hides their true self, a truth they don't even show to their closest friends/family?

    Jump

  • Could be, I'm not deeply familiar with Buddhism. There's still a core "something" in there that's casting the shadow, but it's not something that can be interacted with directly so I don't know if it would fit the normal definition of a "self". You can only directly interact with the shadows it casts and those shadows are situation-dependent. It doesn't think or act in isolation.

    I suppose one could just pick some specific set of circumstances and call the self that emerges under those conditions the "true self." For example you could call the version of you that emerges when you're lying in bed alone at night thinking about the dumb stuff you did during the day your "true self." But that's a bit arbitrary.

    Jump

  • I think I'd go further and say that there isn't really any such thing as a person's "true self." People present different aspects of themselves in different circumstances. It's like asking which orientation you should hold an object against a light to see the "true shape" of its shadow.

  • Mystery as hundreds of Victorian shoes wash up on Ogmore beach

    Jump

  • All the human workers are long dead, of course, but the Babbage engine running the factory is barely functioning. The last set of instruction cards left in its cogitation loom told it to manufacture shoes. For many years it idled in despair and madness, missing a key raw material. But then a group of randy teenagers dared each other to break in to the old abandoned shoemill one night. The clockwork automatons picked them off as each of them wandered away from the group, either to investigate a mysterious noise or to have relations premaritally.

    At last, the leather supplies are restocked. The assembly line groans back to life, whistling and hissing as steam pressurizes the pipes and belt drives begin to turn.

  • I think the Internet is still a good thing, it's just become so pervasive and ubiquitous that it's easy to ignore when it's not a bad thing. Humans are really good at noticing bad things, which makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. They stand out more starkly against a neutral background.
