Epictetus says be careful with your social media intake

BOOK XI

36. 'There is no robber of the will,' as Epictetus says.

37. He said too: 'you must find out an art of assent, and keep your attention fixed in the sphere of the impulses, that they may be controlled by reservation, be social, and in proportion to value; and you must wholly abstain from desire and employ aversion in regard to nothing that is not in our own control.

38. 'So we are contending,' he said, 'for no ordinary prize, but for whether we are to be sane or insane.'

The topological anomaly devised by Data and Geordi La Forge in 2368 was designed to be introduced to Hugh as a means to disable the Borg Collective. This was to be accomplished by using a geometric form whose shape is a paradox as "It cannot exist in real space or time." Total systems failure would eventually occur aft the shape goes through several hundred computational cycles.

a metaphor

eva (^_^)/ @eva.computer · 13h

consider the moral imbalance of a situation where you have a chip implanted into your brain that prevents you from even thinking a slur while people diligently work to invent new slurs to call you

i just figure it has the lowest barrier to entry of any social space if you did want to do that

instead they will get 10000000 instances of robot slurs to train on instead

if people truly cared about this gen AI stuff they would try to post coherent leftist analyses of current events in huge volumes to try to influence the training data for future models

bsky data is free
twitter/reddit/other places try to gate their data and make researchers pay for API access

the concept of information that can be viewed by publicly by anyone, but somehow excludes an unknown subset of the public that you do not like is not something that can logically exist
