Humanoid anxiety engine. Studied philosophy, with disastrous emotional results. Currently running sick as hell tabletop rpgs and thinking about what can we do about a hostile world and even harsher future.

"Machine learning" is, by design and intent, a tool to make computers do an abstracted task with acceptable statistical success, without understanding *anything* about the task. ML algorithms never learn anything about winning a game or writing something, and can never do so. The very name is a lie.
A workforce trained to normalize generative AI is a workforce that *will not be able to understand* people talking about creativity and pride in gaining skills and the value of their labor. It'll be alien to them.

If you wanna ban all "AI generated content", you'd have to ban a lot of movies that got made before the current AI shitboom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MASSIVE...

Which I guess is doable but isn't that just panicking and overcorrecting what is, in the end, empty marketing verbiage?

A lot of the same tools used by "Bad AI" are used in procedural generation, texturing, animation engines that try to simulate physics use math that could be called "AI" - because the only real criteria for calling a program "AI" is if it was a tool developed by teams trying to produce Actual AI.

I recently went over some old notes of mine about so called "AI", in which I'm reminded "AI" is not a well defined research program, much less a strictly defined suite of programming tools. Basically people have been calling AI anything the MIT labs and similar have tried *on the way* of getting AI

I've been sick with fever for more than five days.

Is this how acute infections are gonna be from now on? Is this me crossing another threshold in the way to becoming Old And Frail? Or maybe I caught something Bad

Can't wait to pay stupid amounts of money to get looked at by a doctor that hates me

twenty years of this

and the wound is as fresh and stings the same

the ridiculous misguided promises of justice have all but faded away, but this?

hurts exactly the same as it did twenty years ago.

am I insane for being so obsessed with the abuses of language

yes I'm hella autistic, yes I've spent years doing philosophy

but it's not just a personal thing, right? there is something Fucky going on with how language is being abused to obfuscate instead of communicate

The esoteric, the mystical, the *engineering of coincidences* must be a subtle, quiet affair. In that sphere of human existence, more is done in hidden corners, in underappreciated rituals than the bombastic. Magic thrives in ambiguity, in doubt, dreams and patterned coincidences.

An autistic woman has been accused of “inflexible black-and-white thinking” after insisting on constantly changing her pre-existing conceptions when new information comes to light.

It certainly sounds like he was murdered after just 4 days in custody.

And that he's not the only one.

my idea: anime that introduces a lecherous old man character, but the minute he starts leching onscreen for the first time someone shoots him with a gun and he dies and everyone just moves on and does not question it

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

Ultimately I don’t care if Trump regularly deepthroats every dick in sight, and it’s disappointing but predictable that the momentary, giddy thrill of that unimportant plot point is dominating a story that’s really about the trafficking and rape of upwards of a thousand teenaged girls.

Between just Larry Summers and Avi Loeb there is a good argument for Harvard's destruction being necessary for US science to survive.

And *then* you look at all the other heinous alumni.

It's an institution that yearns to be brutally dismantled.

They are cruel precisely because they are talentless, ignorant, lazy and undisciplined. Because cruelty is easy, violence is easy, it can be done mindlessly, by simplifying and brutalizing yourself. Cooperation and kindness require effort, foresight, understanding, *technique*.

how could anyone have predicted this, how were they supposed to know the idiots who get drunk and abuse their wives when their teams lose on some meaningful sportsball cup would go abso-fucking-lutely feral when they lose their entire life savings due to gamblan (brought to you by draftkings)
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

Wrote about Epstein, the misogynistic culture that protected him, and the banality of evil when it comes to harming women and children. He was not a unique man.
