Why do they do that, though?

Are they? Are they really? They sound more like tools to me.

Or let immigrants in. Immigrants who might be brown.

No, not until you add flavoring.

Not what I asked.

So what does this actually mean? What are advertisements? Like functionally what the singing frog are they doing? Why do the wealthy and their corporations want to do it so desperately?

This works.

Nobody’s saying its not allowed. Freedom not at issue. My freedom to know what I’m buying is being respected. A sticker on the box. A tiny tag in the corner of the entire store page.

What future ai tools? This shit is a dead end, all the money and all the silicon has been ramming its head into a mountain of granite for six years. You can’t even buy a gaming computer, much less get funding for real ai research, and the blowback is going to chill the field for decades. Again.

‘Art is hard’ yeah, you aren’t addressing that. The actual making of art is part of the art. You would fucking know that if you had ever made any. There is a difference between art and vibes.

ai has

Ai does not, at present, have jack shit. It can optimize my StarCraft build order. Which it could do in 2010.

the new models that also don’t do the thing are easier to run

Cool, love that for them.

in a 100 years

I’ll be fucking dead, and if we don’t cut the shit on hyper consumption, everything but maybe roaches will too. Do you think data centers will outlive us by more than five minutes?

in a 100 years

You didn’t even fucking respect me enough to write this yourself did you? Choke to death sucking lies out of sam altman’s weird rapey dick, if you’re not too old for him.

I hate actually doing art, please someone else do it for me. I have no imagination and do not understand what art is

But also

nobody will play game with me I can’t imagine having a gm

Six years ago I think I would have offered to be this person’s friend, or run a ttrpg for them, or teach them about art. But you can’t even do that from here. They can’t engage. There’s no vector for salvaging humanity, and they don’t even understand what they’re not doing? How can I respect others with this shit poisoning their idiot-fat?

Gettingbhigh is very important to me, and I stand by my statement.

We did it! Progress! Let’s go back and show Claude Shannon!

Sucks Linux is so unstable and sometimes just breaks for no reason.

Right. The middle between pants-on-head and sensible is like… Underwear on the outside? Donald duck with pantsgloves?

Maybe we shouldn’t perpetuate dunning-krugerization such that everyone feels they fully understand the effects of a magnetosphere on orbital mechanics after a one paragraph explanation. The sense of ‘ownership’ and ‘mastery’ people seem to have of a field after ingesting licking like two facts is really disappointing.

I miss multiplayer video games. I wish someone still made them.

Kill the checks notes city council?

If life gives you all the lemons, guard them jealously until your enemies die if scurvy.

What, in the past six years of hype bullshit, leads you to justify this profoundly charitable position?

Okay but we gotta use it. If we don’t use it we’re not cool.
