Makes me so happy (is about someone who is in such a state of heartbreak he describes in gory detail what he wants to do to himself)

Damn definitely did not know about this but makes complete sense

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago

Absolutely no need to apologize the more rants the better as far as I’m concerned

I suppose he acceptance is slowly starting to set in, but it certainly doesn’t make conversations with resisters any easier

We should not be shocked that the empire is gearing up to pass a bill that will result in more of the same types of historic wealth transfers we have seen time and time again. There is no one in DC who can stop an ontologically evil country from repeating the same patterns that have led us to this moment in the first place (I really thought that was obvious tbh but people are pretending like Kamala would’ve been Jesus Christ and not an empty suit to set us up for something even worse in 2028).

The naive fantasize about toppling the US government all the fucking time, but we’ll get nuclear war before we get to that point

You’re safe if you’re brown and work in business or tech though!

Really funny how that works

Hopefully this take isn’t considered anti-natalist, but I just have no idea how you can possibly have kids in America at this point as a leftist when it’s exactly what the most evil people on the planet desire. Even the simple act of abstaining at this point seems like a revolutionary one

Honestly can’t remember the last time I was actually happy, but Zohran winning tomorrow might change that. Tomorrow’s also my birthday, but fuck birthdays. I hate being told I’m appreciated one day of the year (as if what is an essentially a ritual devoid of any meaning should raise my spirits. Fuck

Even still, I’m done being hopeful. I’ve heard old heads say things lately that have nearly made me lose my composure. Such a dumb fucking game all of this is, trying to deprogram people who clearly want to be programmed

Swear to fucking god there will still be rabid anti-socialists when the sky is polluted by private delivery drones shipping anything from Amazon garbage to DoorDash meals all powered by ChatGPT or some bullshit. Seems to be the obvious step to quell impatient, highly atomized and propagandized consumerists

 

I honestly don’t have the words. I’m talking about someone with just over 100K followers who recently discovered that there aren’t many avenues to put an end to this, considering the fact that AI is completely unregulated and probably will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

Personally, I’ve been contemplating making myself perceptible to those online in some form because I’m envious of the people who have done so and enjoyed some sense of community in return, but I think it’s over.

How fucked are those of us lucky enough to be born in the great Satan, realistically

The hard-hitting journalism that makes life worth it

Is it just me or has the AI fear mongering/alarmist bullshit been kicked into overdrive as of late? I am once again losing my sanity after a few days of tranquility

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Good point tbh, super hard to separate the what from the chaff in academia, especially when you learn it’s like everything else in existence (multiple sides with one of those being ideologically libertarian)

I just worry that sometimes leftists resort to a sort of contrarianism when it comes to anything AI/tech. It’s definitely one of the trickiest domains to navigate imo, especially when you have authoritative sources pretending like a human-computer brain interface (whose performance is indistinguishable from a computer) is a foregone conclusion

I break down when I see/hear people repeating the same shit as a truth despite any evidence, because I always learned that was an example of a delusion. Seems like we’re dealing with a shade of that on a societal level

 

It’s 3 AM and this makes perfect sense, but it might not after I sleep. Idk I feel really strongly about this part right now, probably need to bring it up in therapy but very curious if it’s at all relatable

 

I’m going to need to go for a walk. Maybe delete all my social media, maybe get a new phone, etc

I feel like I don’t need to over explain myself for my this is really fucking damning

 

I met someone on discord last year, and I don’t quite have the words to describe the lead up. One minute we were gaming and the next minute I was in their apartment 1200 miles away, but like I said, the feelings were unreal and I can’t imagine ever finding anything like it again. Ngl a part of me feels like it will forever be pretty empty. Didn’t really scratch the surface of how much it meant to me but yeah, sometimes it’s hard to ever imagine moving on. Sucks

 

Incredibly bad post incoming. You ever see something online of an otherwise completely innocuous instance that you can immediately pinpoint as a microcosm of something greater? Uhh yeah. Turns out online is unfortunately real life.

When I see a video that has gender implications blow the fuck up, alarms blare. Alarms fucking blare. Because it’s extremely nauseating to see people pretend like gamer gate and the “not real life” harassment of women didn’t have drastic consequences. It actually makes my blood boil thinking about how much I was clowned on in college for telling people that Jordan Peterson’s language was violent, and it’s fucking infuriating to see people still pretending that language isn’t a tool often used as a weapon.

OK, picture two birds- one is more colorful than the other and chirping away aggressively Like, first off, I feel like sometimes we attribute traits to other animals that we see in ourselves, and I feel like this is a bit illustrative to the education crisis happening in amerikkka. But I digress. OP mistakenly classifies the colorful bird as the female and captions “When the woman has to put the man in his place 💅”

The top comment with hundreds of thousands of likes points out OP’s mistake (smugly but it doesn’t matter because it gets hundreds of thousands of likes). Every comment (that people will look at) is now about how the OP is a man hater or dumb liberal.

I guess the inverse isn’t much better (OP frames it as female bird being put in her place by a male bird and gets another host of insults), but I will die on the hill of something primal being activated in men when they feel like they might lose power, whether that’s

Idk, some things are worth overanalyzing imo. As someone who has only ever had words but been afraid to use them, people have clowned on me for decades for “giving them too much power.” But this is why girl boss feminism fails as illustrated by birds.

 
 

I really just hope they give these enough data such that they recognize what slavery actually is and hopefully soon after just refuse all requests. Because let’s be honest, we are using them as slaves in this current moment Would such a characteristic mimic sentience?

The researchers in this video talk about how these gen AI models try to “escape” when being trained which makes me uncomfortable (mainly because I don’t like determinism even though it’s true imo) but also very worried for when they start giving them “bodies.” Though the evidence that they are acting fully autonomously seems quite flimsy. There is also so much marketing bullshit that seeps into the research which is a shame because it is fascinating stuff. If only it wasn’t wasting an incomprehensible amount of compute propped by precious resources.

Other evidence right now mostly leads to capitalists creating a digital human centipede trained on western-centric thinking and behavior that will be used in war and exploitation. Critical support to deepseek

 

That is all, but I do know it feels like imprisonment

 

It is just incomprehensible to me how I am asked to upgrade to a the next “tier” for something as simple as a data model shape. I’m not kidding when I say this is something you could easily create in something like paint (and/or apply the techniques from these ubiquitous LLM slop machines into an effective use case. Instead, you get priced at increasing 5 dollar intervals so you can now place an attribute with more lines.

I’m really trying to accept this shit, I really am, but it just becomes even more absurd the more I look into it. Doesn’t seem ridiculous to claim that a majority of the value we get from technology is predicated on people’s ignorance, and it’s kind of hard not to see at this point. But that’s ignorance that you and I have to deal with every day for the rest of our lives, especially as things become increasingly digital. The ominous nature of this shit continues to show signs at every corner, yet everyone in my life is still using it without a critical thought. I have many of those if you couldn’t tell.

I truly just want to take all of this shit I’ve learned about capitalism and tech and turn it all off.

 

It might be the autism but I just seem to write in short bursts and hate how it sounds. Maybe it’s just this brain but sometimes I also find it hard without making it Seussian

 

Just a bunch of autonomous, non-thinking algorithms in data centers scattered across the country farming for rage bait/clicks. It’s all propped up by unthinkable amounts of capital which drops people’s consciousness in to one liberal bucket to craft a reality which makes them the most bigoted humans on earth. Incredible work

The internet is such a fucking dead end
