Thanks for the update. Damn this got very weird. Appreciate the 2025 writers throwing in a few twists. E: looks like the guy was a bit of an accelerationist fascist

Wow, how is every post somehow weird and offputting? And lol at 'im seeing evidence the voting public was HACKED! (emph mine)' a few moments later 'anybody know some big 5 webscrape API coders? I need them for evidence gathering'. The delightful pattern of crankery where there is a big sweeping new idea that nobody else has seen, plus no actual ability in a technical field.

That first post. They are using llms to create quantum resistant crypto systems? Eyelid twitch

E: also, as I think cryptography is the only part of CS which really attracts cranks, this made me realize how much worse science crankery is going to get due to LLMs.

It also is 'great' for creating post for people who want to debate others but who dont actually care to make up arguments themselves, quality of the argument doesnt even matter. Which is quite the shit development.

At least you can recognize real replies as there are words they never fucking use.

Had no idea it was worse. Damn.

It is a field that attracts a lot of cranks (who are pretty recognizable as being cranks via various patterns). Being a well known physicist must be hell.

When you are rich/famous universities give you degrees. For honour. (e: Turns out the degree thing is a bit more complicated here, according to snopes, im wondering if this was backdated (also of arts? It is a real thing but it feels a bit fishy), but im getting very conspiratorial here, so sorry yes he does have a BA in physics).

Somebody pointed out that I might have been wrong and steel might be a perfect shield for anything.

The combination of 'I realized wanting to be elon is cringe' to -> 'im gonna join doge' -> 'no im gonna do physics' (like elon).

Yo dude you were so close at first, you almost had it! You fool!

Really hope that friend was also just joking because he knew there would be no crash as the default can be extended. (But, considering rich peoples friends are usually all in the same mindspace as the rich person (see for example the text messages revealed in the Musk vs Twitter lawsuit) I doubt this).

Just the opening alone, doesn't know what to do with his life, but mentions 'NPC coworkers' (that is also so fucking weird, I don't think I have worked with much people who gave off an NPC vibe off at all, like people always seemed like people with lives and hobbies, social lives, families interests, stuff they cared about, etc.

It started to dawn on me that what I actually wanted was to look like Elon, and that is incredibly cringe. It hurts to even type this out.

My reactions to this 'ow come on, you call others NPCs?!' and 'at least he knows it is cringe'

When I got back home and regaled my friends with my mountain stories, one of my friends joked that I should work for Elon and Vivek at DOGE and help America get off its current crash to defaulting on its own debt. So I reached out to some people and got in.

This has got to be a parody.

So now I’m in Hawaii. I’m learning physics.

Ha, I recently watched, this video billionaires want you to know they could have done physics by actual Theoretical Physicist, Angela Collier. I'm quite sure he will not be getting an actual degree in physics.

I don't have the energy to read the orange site comments.

I was wondering why I saw the image icon load so slowly when I looked at awful.systems, turns out it is about 10 mb.

Yeah the story is about to get weird. Your isis guess might not be far off. See this same military base as the guy who drove into the crowds.

Writers of 2025: "Somehow isis returned." (I know isis never left, media just looked less at it, but thought it would be a funny joke).
