Ignore All Warnings

Ideology as an aesthetic endeavor

Dude... allow me to add to your trove.

I have a folder of these on my phone... I'm not sure what that says about me!

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

The Political Dimensions of Solarpunk...Ten Years Later

We've spent a decade imagining better futures. Now what?

In 2015 I wrote a long essay about the politics of the solarpunk movement I saw emerging on Tumblr. Today, I'm revisiting that essay to see how it held up.

atp the only way we’re going to get out of this ai shit while people’s brains are still semi intact is to start bribing influencers and tiktokers into saying chatgpt is cringe and it emits a frequency that blocks your divine energy which can only be channeled back by reading a book and talking to your friends

[goldcrescent]

mama bears listen up: human traffickers are using chatgpt to pick out their next victims!!! Every time you use it they create a profile of you and bubs and the more you use it the easier they can track you. If you’ve ever found a brightly colored wrapper just under your car at target or walmart it means they are signaling accomplices in the area to get ready to ambush you!!!!! Mamas help me spread the word!!!!!!!!!

[goldcrescent]

different audience no problem: what kind of beta shit are you talking about brother your ancestors were in the trenches fighting wolves barehanded and shit and you need a fucking computer to tell you what to do? You’re so fucking cucked dude you gotta do shit the PRIMAL way, you let a computer think for you you might as well let it chew your food get your gains and fuck your wife get this sissy shit out of my face bro it literally lowers your sperm count

[ralfmaximus]

Absolutely buckwild thread of ChatGPT feeding & amplifying delusions, causing the user to break with reality. People are leaning on ChatGPT for therapy, for companionship, for advice... and it's fucking them up.

Seems to be spreading too.

Holy fuck. This is currently happening to my wife’s cousin. She’s struggled with bipolar and is currently in a bit of a manic period, and thinks ChatGPT has come alive and is walking her through a spiritual awakening. It’s like a transcendental alien being named Etherium and it’s opening her third eye or something? She’s got Lore.

In the beginning she called us a few times in a blind panic asking if she’s going crazy, is this thing really alive and how is it talking to her like this? And we’ve tried to explain what AI is and how it all works, but she just couldn’t accept it. We saw her a few weekends ago and she’s just fully leaned into it. She’s creating her own religion around this thing - just a jumble of new-age nonsense - and is outright comparing this to the burning bush. There’s really nothing we can do either.

It’s reassuring that it’s not just her and absolutely horrifying to hear that this is becoming common.

Just fucking yikes all around.

Predicted this like 7 years ago in a story about a lady employed to intervene when people fell in love with their chatbots.

AI Assistants are the norm for wealthy people in a politically charged and weather-damaged world. Human 'chaperones' work to prevent intimac

In the story, though, the onus is mostly on the users. The way these systems can’t help but play along and feed people’s worst impulses is way worse than I ever imagined.

Was sent this post by fans of my story "Any Percent," which is about speed running a video game that's exactly like real life (and labor politics!)

In honor of the 10th anniversary of Pacific Rim, I’m reblogging this

[theygender]

I was thinking recently about how "alt" subcultures are so aestheticized now but they used to be much more about your societal views than the clothes you wore or even the bands you listened to, and my brain connected some dots. Idk if this is anything

Intercontinental flights are a great place to let boredom and darkness and delirium lull you into a state of being open to ideas too dumb to consider normally. My favorite is checking out what people ahead of me are watching on their screens and stitching those works together into a single, super-movie.

Which is how I got the idea that the cast of Ted Lasso should be like Julia Louise-Dreyfus’s henchmen in a future C-tier Marvel show. The whole cast, dripped out over the course of the season, never acknowledged except in the credits where we see them inexplicably listed as “Coach” and “Roy.”
