extremely humiliating sisyphian hell to have grown up in a household that doesn't do anything doesn't go anywhere doesn't socialize, where I spent the entirety of every single school break since middle school barely able to leave my room once a day and nauseatingly depressed, not knowing how to make meals other than progresso soup and like grilled cheese or eggs. And now I'm 22 and my body still just falls back into that rhythm, but it's worse because now I'm making an effort to live with other people over breaks because it helps, but it doesn't help enough so even though I'm rotting 50% of the time instead of 90%, there's someone now to get passively annoyed at me for not being motivated to do things. last summer it fractured my relationship with one of my best friends and this summer I'm extremely scared it's gonna happen again with my partner. It's so fucking embarrassing to not know how to Make Basic Meals Using Ingredients and having absolutely no bandwidth to look up recipes or do trial and error so it's either yogurt and eggs or leftovers or I don't eat and I've been having a breakdown almost every single day because of it

instead of either having a server be muted or unmuted discord should introduce a setting called special princess mode where the server is muted except ☝🏽 for one person that is your special princess and the emoji0oo990op09iop09i8o09i8op09iolp-09op-0opyujiko8o9i8ukol9iukolp9i8uki sorry. i got a drop of oil on my keyboard bc i was eating hummus with a little bit of olive oil earlier and i was cleaning that off. anyway and the notification icon is a heart. and they have to to call it that.

I miss having a private twitter because I really need to be able to personally vent excessively and weirdly and semi-publically but not have it be A Thing and tumblr doesn't rlly facilitate that particular vibe. posts here feel much more like Posts than on twitter which is good for most things but not this

One of the most telling signs to me that people who have hating ai as a personality trait genuinely only care about it as a rhetorical tool and a way to morally separate themselves from the idiot masses is when my history professor had us come in with ai-generated responses to a prompt and had us critique its bias---the perspective it assumes, who it places as agents of power in middle eastern/north african history, etc etc. it was extremely obvious that the point was to understand why it's dangerous to offload your opinions to a source that has bias baked into its data and the political interests of its controllers, but a class that is usually full of observant, competent, reasonable people just turned into a circle jerk of "how can we make more potshots about the writing style being bad in some way." (Most of the generated pieces were, like, structurally fine undergraduate-level writing with some stylistic quirks.) The professor kept trying to steer the discussion back to the actual ethical problems with the writing, but nobody would go with it, and just kept fucking preening to each other with this weird self-satisfaction of "ohoho chatGPT used the word 'thus' tsk tsk". Genuinely what are we doing you are making shit up in your brain to be mad at

Also because they keep making shit up about what would happen without it. Do you really think a person who ai generated a club poster would be commissioning their local independent artist or do you think they would use a premade template and /maybe/ some drag and drop stock assets. Do you really think people using ai summaries of a book were actually going to read the full book and engage with it in a meaningful or interesting way or do you think they were going to find an abridged version/not touch it at all

[cooltrainergorps]

I feel like I talk about anti-ai people too much but man it's just so pervasive in my life and I keep dwelling on how revealing it is about how people think about the world. The only cognitive science professor at my college regularly says "the luddites were right" irt ai. Some of the most outwardly left people I know completely ignore any other ethical issue that we constantly participate in living in a capitalist empire in favor of pearl-clutching about ai. I can't get through a conversation about ai with someone who hates it as a policy, no matter how outwardly sympathetic I am to what they say (because I am) and how much I agree with the core of their opinions (because I do) but because I don't participate in this particular zeitgeist of shitting on ai on principle at every given opportunity i can immediately tell they don't care about what I have to say. Nobody actually wants to know how it works, how the tech industry works, how corporate monopoly works, nobody cares about how their opinions ultimately wind around to enabling companies like adobe and disney become even more evil, nobody cares about the consequences of becoming radicalized like this. it's wildly horrifying and has fragmented so much of my hope for coherent leftist action in the US, because nobody actually fucking cares about what they're saying and why. man.

i ALSO hate that I have to entirely curb my interest in llms to get through a civil interaction and not be jacketed as some silicon valley bootlicker. It's a fascinating technology that does really interesting and fun (albeit limited/specific) things and it's devastating that it hit this point of development at this particular time in history because people are completely ignoring what it has the capacity to do. Which I think is decently reasonable for like anthropic and openai but those are terrible representatives for the technology on many levels

these things are fucking weird

[yorickless]

science fiction works I have revisited in the last year and thought "man it's like they really predicted certain features of LLMs" which I think is more just that classic science fiction conceptions of "AI" are starting to actually exist:

@wqu replied:

it pisses me off so much that we finally have ai worth the name, and it turns out that it is entirely plausible for a plucky hero to trap it in a loop with a natural-language logical fallacy, or make a moral argument that it needs to shut itself down. Years of thinking that was lazy writing from people who didn't understand computers (it was and they didn't) and history has proven them right anyway.

Lmao we have to fucking destroy this company are you fucking kidding me with this shit

Google Search as you know it is over | TechCrunch

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and

Remember that xkcd about how Google searches are shit now? What if we made them even worse for no reason?

[probablysomethingtm]

I will vote for any candidate who promises to go scorched fucking earth on every tech company. Break every single one of them up into companies based around a single product and then split those in thirds. Weaponize existing antitrust laws to the hilt and pass the most draconian versions of them ever seen on this planet. Nationalize google search specifically. Pass consumer privacy protections strict enough to kill the data harvesting industry for good. Make all of these fuckers go bankrupt for this rent-seeking shit

disco elysium is one of the best examples imo of how massive a gap can exist between a piece of media and the conversations around it. if you’ve never played it i think you’d be forgiven for thinking its some sort of fun gay buddy cop romp from how ppl present the story online

[kabaks]

i still can’t get over the choice the developers made to give harry amnesia at the start. which is par for the course for rpgs ofc but instead of building him into something from a blank slate like you would in other rpgs you have to gradually uncover what a monumentally creepy violent fascistic pathetic piece of shit he is. and at every turn you have to contend with the fact that the public sees him and knows him as he “was” instead of how you might want to play him. and the game tells you outright that what breaks harry psychologically isn’t even the violence he enacts as an arm of the state its the dissolution of his relationship (these things are not disconnected sure but the brutality of his role as a cop is not the catalyst for his breakdown). its not about guilt or remorse for what he’s done, it’s up to you whether you feel guilty or remorseful on his behalf. also its just so ballsy to make a game about never giving up fighting for a more just world for everyone and your entry point is You Are A Cop And Everyone Here Rightfully Detests You. And You Didn’t Give A Shit About That A Day Ago. and even if you choose to give a shit about it now (if) it doesn’t mean all is forgiven it doesn’t mean you get to feel good about yourself. you’re still a cop. and if you want to pretend to be a Radical Communist Cop go ahead but we’ll take the piss out of you for it. man its such a good game
