  • I read that as "vitality cure" and didn't think twice about it, seemed the appropriate level of evil.

  • It's just a tool, like cars! My definition of tools is things that are being forced on us even though they're terrible for the environment and make everyone's life worse!

  • Do you think they still say all that bullshit even when they're not screenshooting it for twitter? Probably, right

  • That might actually be the most infuriatingly US-centric post I've ever read, and that's really saying something! God!!!!

    And it's talking about "The World" in the title of course!

  • Anime – what started as a niche genre of manga and animation

    Off to a strong start I see

  • Lionsgate sells movie catalog to AI video startup Runway hoping to replace artists and FX
  • I hated Inception (and Dark Knight) so much that I can now hate every new Nolan movie without having to watch them. Bliss!

  • I think Zizek is a super nice guy, despite disagreeing with 90% of what he says. I still think he's a great person with a nice soul.

    The sentences these people post, man.

    Anyway, it's great that he chose a cryptofascist crank who tries to pass himself off as a communist to show how open minded he is. Damn, you respect Habsburg, Orban and Zizek, let me guess how you feel about Putin.

  • Promptfondler drama: Shumer’s ‘no-hallucination’ Reflection 70B AI turns out to be two other models in a trenchcoat
  • It's funny because they're trying to get rid of the only thing that's interesting about gen ai.

    edit: Well, in this case, not sure if this counts as "trying".

  • Nevada to clear unemployment claim backlogs with one weird trick: pretending an AI has judgment
  • AI systems are for when you can't decide between malice and incompetence.

  • I don't know man, there are plenty of jobs that don't involve any of whatever that is, like line cook or caregiver or going on disability.

  • here's the amazing Vibecamp essay where the rationalists talk about "microdosing" meth if they can't take the adderall to become a financial genius like Scoot promised them
  • Of course I ignore your warnings and proceed to read this shit from the beginning.

    And before you say, as many people I'm sure will, that language changes or evolves and so forth: shall I presume many of you have no objection to being called 'nazis' in the standard twitter-left definition? Shall I treat all drunk sex as 'rape' because kidnapper-rape and frat-sex have the commonality of reduced consent? Shall I treat your remarks about this-or-that group as 'hate speech', or 'violence', in the form of speech? Clearly, we have some sense by which concept creep exists; by which definitions can be stretched dishonestly. That is what you're doing, and you know what you're doing.

    Cool. Cool. This is fun.

  • Scale AI is stiffing its task workers
  • It's microwork, like Amazon Mechanical Turk. You sign up on a website and there are small tasks you can complete (label this picture, is this result inappropriate, which of these is better etc) and you get a cent. Sometime the task will really be a test and your performance will be evaluated. It sounds easy at first but you'll be asked to make a call on many edge cases but it's not worth spending more than a couple seconds on it. I've done it. I stopped because taskers were getting increasingly demanding, it got slower and more annoying and I wasn't interested in having to actually use my brain for 2€/hr.

  • Oh my god I only now notice the title is a reference to Tiqqun's Preliminary Materials For a Theory of the Young-Girl, this is like a supercollision of dumbfuck cryptoreactionary nonsense I've obsessed over.

  • Haela Hunt-Hendrix, the singer from the black metal band Litvrgy, was one of the principal organizers of this “symposium.” [...] Besides making music, she seems to be interested in esoteric religious themes, numerology, and Orthodox iconography. In any case, Hunt-Hendrix claimed that Anna was stealing her ideas and twisting them in a “cryptofascist” manner.

    Oh no! How could she!
