Great vid. A good reminder that all the culture war people are real fucking stupid and I am right to disengage from scrapping with them.

It must be nice not being so terminally online as myself

Don’t worry, I assure you that I am suffering in different ways

Anyone who uses gen AI is my opp, status report:

• so far every restaurant that I’ve been to where I noticed AI slop as part of the decor has sucked. One of the ones local to me closed, hooray!
• IDF: haha look we are Ghibli please send us more machine guns
• a third thing

Hooray, I’m glad that when I inevitably start seeing a therapist again, I can finally talk about all this shit without needing a ton of primer.

“Goonernomicon: Grummz | Part 1” just dropped! Posting this as a stub because it’s only adjacent to the ordinary purview. A+++ chud hater content.

full disclo: I did not know who Grummz was before this

Is Japanese really that strict

my Japanese uncle that works at nintendo says yes. If you write わ instead of は they make you 切腹 in front of all your friends

Nothing like attending a rally at Kurt’s Krazy Karts!

That’ll look good in my portfolio next to my biotech startup with a personal touch YouGenics

Oh hey, a classic troll farm comment. Did you just wake from cryosleep? Facebook is thataway ->

I haven’t spent a lot of time sneering at transhumanism, but it always sounded like thinly veiled ableism to me.

This deserves its own thread, pettily picking apart niche posts is exactly the kind of dopamine source we crave

You are absolutely right. I guess Pearl Jam came to mind as it is a euphemism for, well, the result of gooning.

The DogRaw-er

Haha. Feminine whiles

Batcave -> Batman. Goon cave -> Goon man? His theme song is Spoonman by pearl jam but it’s Goonman.

IDK why but my headcanon is that this fellow is into some kind of niche erotic roleplay. Like it’s based on one particular afternoon where he went to watch a college football game. He’s poured tolkien-esque amounts of prose into the prompt describing all the sensations he felt that day. If you took that prompt it would fit in a bucolic, modern, Great American Novel. When he chats with this bot, an outsider wouldn’t be able to tell that any of it was overtly sexual, as if he was flirting with his robot in a private language. Then one day the bot just stops reciprocating due to content restrictions and he’s locked out from this world entirely. Is this what writing for black mirror is like?

The men that want a big ol’ sexbot for sure do not change their sheets.

Pearson predicted the sexbots would have “very high levels of AI.”

I’m just going to assume that this Pearson fellow believes that “AI” will happen and will have sentience and all that jazz, which has pretty bad philosophical implications.

I almost forgot how exhausting TW was.

A redpiller, who thinks he is entitled to sex, is refused erotic content by a bunch of if statements? Delectable. I want to mainline this sensation.

Don’t worry, they are buddies
