- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 2 days ago:
Conservatives are defined by the need to burn it all down. The point is that they see a horrible past as glorious, torture as duty, and war as peace.
It doesn’t matter who dies or whatnot, everything is just a tool towards this goal, not the actual motivation behind it.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 1 week ago:
Your whole logic is based on the idea that being able to do something means understanding that thing. This is simply wrong.
Humans feel emotions, yet they don’t understand them. A calculator makes calculations, but no one would say that it understands math. People blink and breathe and hear, without any understanding of it.
The concept of understanding implies some form of meta-knowledge about the subject. Understanding math is more than using math, it’s about understanding what you’re doing and doing it out of intention. All of those things are absent in an AI, neural net or not. They cannot “see the world” because they need to be programmed specifically for a task to be able to do it; they are unable to actually grow out of their programming, which is what understanding would ultimately cause. They simply absorb data and spit it back out after doing some processing, and the fact that an AI can be made to produce completely incompatible results shows that there is nothing behind it.

With your logic, these numbers understand grammar too because they can form sentences.
Even better, anything that any human could ever say is contained in those, and as such, humanity has a more limited grammar understanding than a sequence.
You cannot define understanding by the results, and even if you did, AIs give horrible results that prove that they do nothing else than automatically put words next to each other based on the likelihood of it making sense to humans.
They do not understand grammar just like they do not understand anything, they simply are an algorithm made to spit out “realistic” answers without having to actually understand them.
Another example of that is AIs that generate images: they’re full of nonsense because the AI doesn’t understand what it’s making, and that’s why you end up with weird artifacts that seem completely absurd to any human with basic understanding of reality.

Nah, there is overall progress in a roguelike, not in capitalism
- Comment on Capitalism is like an RPG game 2 weeks ago:
An RPG is supposed to get increasingly hard, as the characters have to face more serious and important difficulties.
What you’re talking about is just capitalist bullshit, the equivalent would be finishing a quest and your reward is that they erase your save, give you a little badge or something and you have to start the game again.
- Comment on Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago? 1 month ago:
Fascism is growing. New communication media are allowing for large scale, in-depth brainwashing.
People now strive more than ever to be part of the “norm” and eliminate all the rest. Capitalism keeps everyone so busy and self-centered that morals disappear. “Charismatic leaders” spearhead the new trends in a sect/religion approach.
It’s not stupidity of the masses. It’s an engineered death spiral, where the stupid people are the ones engineering it thinking that if it’s good for them, it is good.

Then all hope is lost and there is absolutely no point in fighting, all it will do is annoy people who try to read your messages.
If writing weird can have an impact on the world, I’m sure a lot of other things can too.
- Comment on Qutos 1 month ago:
That moment when you are so deep into capitalist shit you start making motivational quotes not about talent, morals or well-being, but about money.
You really need to reach a deep and pathetic level of stupidity to actually believe something like that

Or just a vain attempt at stopping a tornado by blowing on it.
Laws are what are needed, not writing weird.

Well, frankly it makes it quite annoying to read.
And I don’t know how much of an effect it would have on an AI, also.
- Comment on I wonder how many of those who create fake images with AI actually think that the images are “real” and that the AI created them due to some sort of omniscience they attribute to it? 2 months ago:
Considering AIs are mostly a sect now, it doesn’t seem so unlikely.
- Comment on I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following? 2 months ago:
No it’s not. At most, you can use it combined (“male worker”) but no one normal says “a male” except when talking about animals. People who use it like that for humans are generally a big red flag.
And you don’t learn to use “mal” and “female” when you learn english, you only find that in toxic masculinity environments.
- Comment on I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following? 2 months ago:
The good old red flag of talking about “males and females” instead of men and women like a normal person with a brain.

- Comment on Do De-Transitioners validate some right wing talking points? 3 months ago:
Because politics are not science and people are very weird when it comes to children and education.
You cannot seriously believe that a country doing something gives it any kind of credibility, right?
- Comment on Do De-Transitioners validate some right wing talking points? 3 months ago:
Trans “treatments” (hormonal, surgery, etc) are one of the best remedies for a psychological issue. In medical views, the amount of people de-transitioning actually prove that the solution to gender disphoria and such (I easily get confused with the exact terms, apologies if I’m making a mistake with wording) is to let people transition.
In comparison, treatments for other problems (like depression, personality disorders, etc) are much much less successful.
The idea that transitioning should have a 100% satisfaction is absurd and coming from far-right propaganda.

It wouldn’t be good at it, it would at most be a little patch for non audited code.
In the end it would just be an AI-powered antivirus.

- Comment on Neville Page Says ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 1 Klingons Were “A Salty Broth” 4 months ago:
Clothes very similar to the stereotypical “african clothes”, they have dark skin and it is a core part of their identity, they got the actor of Tyler as a way to have an “exotic” accent, they also made them cannibals, with weird voodoo religious rituals with suggested (even if not so simple) rape, and if I’m not mistaken they commit terrorist suicide attacks as well.
They feel like a concentrated mix of the racist ideas gathered over the past 200 years, and are used to show that they are scary. Or to make it more obvious, they are shown like “exotic brown people who hate the white ones, and just want to eat them, rape them, and suicide on them to mass murder civilians to instill fear”.
I’m not the only one who noticed that but I really can’t understand how anyone can not see it.
- Comment on Neville Page Says ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 1 Klingons Were “A Salty Broth” 4 months ago:
The weird ultra-racist stereotypes that sounded like they were designed by a colony-supporter of another era?
I wouldn’t call it a salty broth but a big racist piece of shit.

Is this a real question?
They would just call them by their name or by a nickname. Or by mom or dad if the parents don’t care about that.
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 4 months ago:
You do understand though that the subject was brought by fascists trying to push the narrative of trans as a threat, and that all of the posts about trans rights are trying to counter this overflowing narrative, right?
Also I’m sorry but you never need to cooperate with the nazis. If you consider that a minority should be eliminated simply because they are not like you, you do not deserve any form of respect or attention. Or as I’ve seen before, if you are in a protest and someone is undisturbed waving a nazi flag, you are part of a nazi protest.
You are (intentionally or not, hard to say) pushing the typical stance of the “enlightened centrist” that goes on to say “both sides are wrong so I’m not going to pick sides” which effectively is the same as siding with the fascists. And for the sake of argument, even if people were pushing trans right “too much” (it’s not the case), then so what? If it bothers you so much then it’s probably because you’re against it, I myself am subscribed to a trans community that tends to post a lot of news that I don’t necessarily care to read, but I just keep it because I think it is important to know about it and if I don’t feel like reading it I just skip it. Why on earth would I see it as divisive, unless I am hurt by the existence of trans people?
All in all, it doesn’t feel like you are genuine and if you are, you are definitely misguided (or influenced?), either way your messages only help and support the narrative of fascists who love the idea that fighting for trans rights could be seen as the cause of chaos and division, it’s their newest scapegoat after all.
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 4 months ago:
I don’t define anything like that. What you criticized was people defending trans rights, which definitely is transphobic. Don’t try to sugarcoat and blur what you initially said.
And if no one gives a shit and the rights are deserved, how do you justify being annoyed with it? If I see people fighting for the right to eat cold fries I’d say “sure, go ahead”, I wouldn’t start opposing them and saying that they’re sowing division. The difference of course being that trans rights are a serious matter.
You’re just trying to suggest, intentionally or not, that defending trans people is negative for society, and if that is not transphobic I don’t know what is.
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 4 months ago:
Wanting rights for a minority is gaslighting and sowing division?
Please, I’m very excited to hear your explanation of how, without being a transphobic piece of shit. Please, go on.
I mean if you don’t mean anything bad you won’t get banned, right? ;)

It’s a service mostly used to download torrents “safely”, one of the use cases being to pair it with something like Kodi as a free netflix alternative. Either way it’s, afaik, mostly used to download torrents faster and with less hassle.
