I feel like I hate AI slightly less than the average Tumblr user, but it still scares the shit out of me to see how many people now engage in internet arguments by submitting their opponent’s argument to an AI bot and saying “explain why this is wrong and I am right.” It is concerning first because most AI models are sycophants that will tell you exactly what you want to hear, which makes then extremely potent delusion-confirmers. But it’s even more concerning because learning how to argue for yourself— how to evaluate claims, to assess an argument, to find and check sources, to spot flaws in someone’s case— is one of the most important skills you can have in life. If you don’t have that, you are unable to evaluate what is true for yourself. You will walk right into the arms of the first crackpot or cult that talks to you when you don’t have Claude available. Extremely grim portent that many people seem to find this acceptable

They don’t want me. (Hey, I don’t want me, either, but I’m stuck with me.)

The good thing about being a construct is that you can't reproduce and create children to argue with you.

I hate having emotions about real humans instead of fake ones, it just leads to stupid moments like this.

I was tired of pretending to be human. I needed a break.

I was ready to settle in until it was time to think about what I was going to do when I got to my destination, something I intended to put off until the last possible moment. Then, through my feed, something said, You were lucky.

job market in 2025 is crazy. some of these requirements for so-called 'entry-level' positions are just unreasonable

Between September 1999 and February 2000, Lebed made hundreds of thousands of dollars from a computer in his bedroom in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, using pump and dump by posting in internet chat rooms and message boards, encouraging people to buy penny stocks he already owned, thus, according to the SEC, artificially raising the price of the stock. Between September 1999 and February 2000, his smallest one-day gain was US$12,000, while his biggest was $74,000.[4] Lebed became the first minor prosecuted by the SEC.[5][6] In 2001, Lebed and the SEC negotiated an out-of-court settlement in which Lebed forfeited $285,000 in profit and interest he had made on 11 trades without admitting any wrongdoing, allowing him to keep close to half a million dollars.[7]

some people have initiative and gumption and pull themselves up by their bootstraps 🙄
