Oh true! It’s funny talking some data sci folks that are just “I didnt need GPUs but now I might as well optimize for them now” because they’re org has tons of that compute now for “AI”

I keep saying this lol. Honestly the world needs dillegence more then heroics

AI development has a few factions. People that want to make and fuck their AI daughter/girlfriend. Researchers that want to underatand the basis of the human mind. Capitalists that want to convert human intelligence into capital they can fully own (slavery is the first attempt). Then finally cultists that want to make God in their image.

It’s a crazy field for someone that is fascinated by thinking about thinking and want to make useful little tools.

It was a pink ping pong ball

To answer the first question posed. Would I hand a form of id and communication at the door of the bar for them to keep? No.

Are you crazy? Don’t touch that. Like listen I don’t go crazy like other people do, digital wallets, important 2fa, etc and of course it’s encrypted at rest and locked but still no, don’t touch that.

I mean my cats do both. That’s because the fields naturally habitat mice where I live so what the snakes, chickens and raptors don’t eat occasionally make they’re way into the cats habitats. I guess I could design a mice habitat to more aggressively grow them for the cats but I think growing food stuff for myself that they can also eat makes more sense (I.e. chicken, and fish).

Cats are cruel hunters tbh, I don’t mind just letting them play with non feeling things and eating prepared healthy meats instead that can be harvested in less cruel ways and do more for my food ecosystem too.

Unfortunately boomers really hated so many of their kids that they’re kids think thats what it is like to be parents.

Faith unfortunately did nothing to save the boomers, that dopamine treadmill effected that too and the idea “what’s the point of a soul if no one ever dies?” Lingers in the mind.

We really do have a misanthropy problem in the west. Left and right agree they fucking hate people. They forget people is the sweet grandma, the goofy kid, the kind person who helped them once, the stocker that shelved their food, the HV/AC tech that worked to keep it frozen, etc etc etc. More people then the mind can comprehend make the best parts of our live and take care of those we love. We are part of that too.

I don’t think that is true of Ohio or skibbidi actually. Though insano style slang are different

Giving THAT speech at the epicenter of American facism convention is so unfortunate.

Like dawg this is the party still on the war on drugs, they are commiting war crimes for it. The party of Palantir and Flock. The ones pushing for concentration camps.

I can’t fully blame anyone being grateful for getting freed from our prison system. I also get not going guns a blazing condemnation at the RNC, but he’s been free for a minute now he really can’t be that ignorant of what they are doing, right?

I do think that is a common autistic ideal of governance lol

The ideal that a well ran system doesn’t need active interference or rulership.

Cool. I wonder what the maintenance looks like for those, and programming.

No offense but your friend sounds like a bitch.

Like if I said “yeah no I’m really tough I can punch a baby” I would be a pussy 110%. Like no shit you could punch a baby, they are like cannocially helpless. Fight a boxer or something smh

Being a rent seeking parasite is good actually.

I don’t agree, but I notice a lot of people actually do fantazise being an aristocrat. The goal is to retire and be served by others now. The fact that slavery and brutal autocracies force millions to labor for the first world is seen as abstract but the primary issue most people have in the first world is that we don’t get enough of the share of loot from these brutal systems. Its the same reason “white privilege” is seen as so ridiculous to some. People are working hard, and life is tough, so the idea that they got more they deserved too is an affront to the narrative we hold for ourselves.

No no. Many of those people absolutely love them if they are personally neighbors, coworkers, etc, but absolutely hate them in the abstract and would pay to have people like them, but not them, killed.

This is the worst of all worlds too me. If it was fair it would be good. As in no intellectual property then sure AI can train on anything but the rest of us can own and create culture freely. Or the opposite extreme every work requires express permission. Want to repost a tweet get permission (not a fan of this myself but honestly still better then the current).

If it has to be biased then biasing against the ultra wealthy seems obviously better.

But here we are hoping the current tyrants hurt the new ones a little

Artists or copy rights holders?

This is way. I mean if you are going to vote otherwise vote third party to help them get that 5% mark for federal funding and better ballot access.

But honestly we have to choose the most effective strats at all levels. Vote in the primaries Dems for progress or repubs for harm reduction choices. Vote for local politics where shit actually gets done. Vote state level where voting changes and law enforcement actually gets decided. Vote for the best of the two if your state is close, vote third if the worst evil is slated to land slide your state.

Get support and support mutual aid. Join resistance networks. Support your community and worker coops. Boycott everything that supports evil where you can. Etc etc.

Honestly it seems like a lot but most of the nations politics don’t fucking matter. Filter for politicians that are on your ballot boxes otherwise they are just idealogues you like to listen too. AOC and John Thune are like 80% relevant for most Americans. They can’t vote for or against them.

Levergism. To get what you want in the world you need power to get power you need leverage to the keys to power.

For working class folks that tends to be in the form of withholding labor, providing labor both of which are dictated by supply and demand. So learning a specialty in an in demand field or getting/making tools or skills that make you more demand is common technique. (Organizing with others to be noted also a huge way to do this)

They are arguing that learning AI is like learning to drive a forklift or an excavator. Like sure you could use a shovel or set up pullies but it’s just faster and thus more valuable to use those tools.

The difference being we don’t actually know what tools and varients of those tools actually make sense. So it’s like saying you need to learn to use motors to a 1900s factor worker.

Damn what a waste of cool damp cave

I like sex. Not just doing it, but talking about it, thinking about it, studies about it, philosophies around it, who different cultures view it, etc.

It’s largely taboo where I live, but my girl friend get it and my best friends are chill about it, but I’d love to be able to talk about the interplay between taboos and gratification in the grocery store with the clerk instead of the weather. You know?
