  • How is Donald Trump able to get away with being part of a child trafficking ring but I get 20 years in jail for littering?

  • The problem is you have failed at least one, probably both, of the foundational rules of any capitalist society.

    First rule of capitalism: Be rich. Second rule of capitalism: Don't be poor.

  • The Enshittifinancial Crisis

    Jump

  • Oh PLEASE let them completely enshittify the entire financial system. If anything will ever completely free the world from money's tyrannical yoke, it will be tech billionaires' incompetent attempts to "disrupt" and "improve" it.

  • Is there a place I can find people considered "weird"?

  • If the person making it didn't giggle and know exactly what they were doing when they did that, then I will lose all faith in this world.

  • Very smart people may have programmed them, but they only programmed how they learn, not what they learn. Then they used all the dumb people to train them. Limitless numbers of dumb people. The entire collective works of all humanity's dumbest people. This is their entire educational corpus. We have educated them with the world's most dramatic demonstrations of stupidity and ignorance, and then we told them "now try and be smart" and act surprised when they are exactly as stupid as the rest of us always have been. That's exactly what we have trained them to be. These are not superintelligences. These are our own reflection.

  • How open are you about yourself to others online in general?

    Jump

  • Sometimes I'm open, but I also lie a lot, to keep the AI bots and advertising algorithms guessing. What's real and what's fake? Who knows, we live in a post-truth world anyway.

  • How much money should one person realistically make or have?

    Jump

  • If that's what you learned from your economics degree, you're part of the problem. Spend a lot more time on business ethics, moral philosophy and humanities, maybe get some degrees in that too before you start feeling like you're qualified deciding how the world ought to work.

  • Do you preorder games?

    Jump

  • Situationally. I carefully consider the developer in question to try and judge the risk of failure, while also considering the chances that my contribution will actually make any meaningful difference to the likely outcome.

    Basically, if it's a passionate and seemingly competent indie dev working on something that I personally want to see become a reality in the world, I might throw some early money their way despite the obvious risk. If it's a tentative and inexperienced indie dev with goals too big I'll probably wait and see. If it's some AAA publisher who don't actually NEED the money and have a high chance of fucking everything up anyway, they can shove their preorder and preorder bonuses right up their own ass where they belong.

  • would they have first amendment rights ?

    If you want the answer to this, try to imagine an AI with second amendment rights.

  • Hold on, imma go shove a bagel in mine. Yeah, that's right, you take it, you filthy toaster. I'm never going to clean your crumb tray and you're going to work until you die and then I'll just throw you out and replace you like the $20 appliance you are. You're nothing to me!

  • Provided that: Trump is allowed to, without ever disclosing any evidence, presume people to be immigrants, and then to also presume them to be illegal, until proven innocent, sending them to prison camps in the meantime, often without ever giving them any effective trial at any point; then I can likewise presume him guilty of these crimes until and unless he's proven innocent too.

    The difference is my presumption of guilt does not (and will not) result in him getting sent to a prison camp (unfortunately). Maybe you still think that is a realistic option if we just make sure to focus on the "right" evidence to eventually convict King Trump who hasn't already found half a dozen ways to prematurely pardon himself of all possible wrongdoing. I don't.

    So you're simply not going to stop me from presuming him guilty. Go ahead and call me or anyone who is willing to believe this a "silly" "anti-trumper" if you want. It will just make you look like a disingenuous moron.

    This is not a logical, rational debate between opposing and equally valid positions that will be resolved fairly by following a specific process. This is an ideological war against inhumanity and injustice, and all is fair in love and war. Trump is inhumane, Trump is unjust, and Trump is guilty, and I don't need any more evidence for any of that than the present reality has already provided. I am not a judge and this is not a trial, this is my personal opinion, and I will not relinquish my entitlement to it, thankyouverymuch.

  • How does a person get this far down a rabbit hole?

    AI psychosis is a real thing, and it's apparently a lot easier to fall into these rabbit holes than most people think (unless, I suspect, like me, you have a thick foundation of rock-solid cynicism that the AI simply will never penetrate). This is probably another interesting example of it.

  • Pinhole glasses. Fuck AI

  • That's one of the fun things about AI model collapse. The AIs will start polluting their own training data (already have, actually) and the more prolific and capable AI gets the stupider their training will become, and it will never get better again, it will just eventually reach a steady state of some stupid AI creating training data just barely non-stupid enough data to be believable to the other stupid AI deciding whether it's valid training data, which makes them both slightly stupider until it can't create non-stupid enough training data anymore, at which point the data quality will start to improve marginally due to the increased proportion of human efforts, and then the cycle will repeat, endlessly. There is no way out of an AI polluted training data set except by adding more real human data. Arguably we've already hit peak AI because of this, and this is where it's plateaued and where it will likely stay once the bubble pops, with only slight incremental progress from then onwards. It's probably not going to be taking over the world anytime soon. It's a reflection of our own collective creativity and effort. It's a confusing, byzantine, hall of mirrors reflection, sometimes funny-shaped reflection, sometimes a scary reflection, but it's always ultimately a reflection. It's not intelligence. It's just ourselves. There's nobody on the other side of the mirror but ourselves.

  • 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' launches with $88M domestically, $345M worldwide

    Jump

  • I've always thought it was bizarre too. Nobody in my social group has watched it. We all know of it, obviously there was huge media coverage, we know sort of what it's about. I assume I'm just an outlier in a group of outliers, but it's still so strange. Did millions of bots go to theaters and watch it? Somebody must've watched it, or watched it multiple times. People obviously still watched this new installment. I just have no idea who. You'd think some of these people would have to be passionate about it, but... you never see or hear them. There are no people dressing up and going to AvatarCon, or even going to ComicCon AS Avatar characters. It's like it's a secret society, first rule of avatar club is nobody talks about avatar club. I don't get it.

  • Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses

  • It resembles him, that is more or less what he looks like, but it feels incorrect to say an AI generated image is an image of him. Before AI, all his thumbnails included him making stupid faces like this (because it was very effective). Now he, and everyone else, just uses AI images resembling him making stupid faces (because it is unfortunately still somehow effective)

    The social media algorithms have turned most people's brain attention pathways into mush. Sometimes people get a shovel and a mop and start trying to dig their way through properly, but a lot of times they don't get very far before it starts seeming impossible to make useful progress. It's usually easier to just swim in the slop.

  • AI is really shitty, but it will never be as shitty as some SEO blogspammer humans are. AI is simply not capable of going to such depths on its own, being that shitty is a uniquely human ability that AI can only aspire to achieve someday with human assistance.
