  • Don’t forget when you were 5 years old and adults would tease you about marrying the girl you were playing with. It’s perfectly normal when they bring up heterosexual relationships with a child. They see two tiny children playing and they say, paraphrased, “you gonna bang her when you grow up? Teehee”

    But telling children they can be gay or the gender they identify as is wrong, grooming, sexualizing children, etc.

    We’re just supposed to enforce traditional roles I guess. If we want to teach kids who to fuck, we do it with traditional heckles like “are you two getting married when you grow up?”




  • “If we assume X theorem is true, Y theorem is true, and lemma Z is true, then …”

    This is actually about our models and seeing their incompleteness in a new light, right? I don’t think starting from arbitrary axioms and then trying to build reality was about proving qualities about reality. Or am I wrong? Just seems like they’re using “simulated reality” as a way to talk about our models for reality. By constructing a “silly” argument about how we can’t possibly be in a matrix, they’re revealing just how much we’re still missing.





  • I get looking at terrorism as a simple data point and then saying left wing terrorism is on the rise. When there’s more violence then it’s indicative of underlying problems.

    But most of the time the conversation implies people need to clean up their act. Politicians must stop using charged language. People must chill out.

    In that vein, I’m curious how much left wing violence is real. When people are getting shot down for trying to get abortions, getting put on lists…

    That’s like playing half a chord progression.

    But when you fight back, that’s also a terrorism. Hitting the bully is still violence, and can’t we all just chill?? Lmao



  • If groceries cost us $500 per month and our government says it accepted $10 from an anonymous donor to help pay for next months groceries, what does it mean?

    Like what just happened? Did they just make a joke / are they fucking with people?

    Are they only funding their gestapo? Are they strategically activating specific personnel via a check, and ignoring less critical or more motivated soldiers?

    It’s as if someone threw some coins at the crowd just for a chance to talk about how it’s the Democrats who “opted” not to pay them. I wish they more deliberately explored the “it costs billions to pay the military yet the 130 million is gonna do… something” part of the story.









  • If AI replaces humans then why would they need to continue training them? You don’t believe in the AGI hype do you? You don’t think our system is about anything other than efficiently racing to the bottom, do you?

    Besides, humans will always figure out a better way, a new way, a fresh take. And there’s your training data.

    I don’t get why it says “training AI on AI content makes it dumb” when people literally use synthesized data to carefully tune models. Today. I’m sure they’ll improve training by the time the internet is fully replaced.

    This all assumes that it won’t take a human-like AI to replace humans. Whatever replaces us will be pitiful, but it will be supported by our institutions, trillionaires, and enough personal data to create fun headlines like “Elon knows so much about you that if each datum was a grain of sand it would be bigger than Saturn!”



  • Why not just use AI to synthesize a dead cop or two? Anthropic is literally dedicated to creating an AI powered hegemony where AI is used for the “greater good.” They barely have a product and they’re working to empower brutal dictators.

    When was the last time MAGA was presented with evidence and they just went “oh, I was wrong.”? Antifa is going to start murdering 7 fingered cops* and Facebook won’t give a shit.

    *(except fingers aren’t a problem anymore)
