If I wanted to be constrained by flesh and bone then I’d be looking at 3D porn.

If you need me, I’ll be in my homogenized breeding blanket.

You can hang onto the penis of someone who’s climbing.
- Comment on The right person for me deserves better. 1 week ago:
Yes, but even Skynet would probably like me better than the average woman does.

I’ve lost you? But we were meant to be together!
- Comment on The right person for me deserves better. 1 week ago:
Meeting humans is intolerable, but my hope is that with AI technology advancing as rapidly as it is, soon I will be able to assemble the right robot for me…
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 1 week ago:
The fact that the salute is so offensive, they did it so blatantly, and their denial was so disingenuous is the whole point. It’s a demonstration of power. They can do a Nazi salute and their opponents can’t punish them. They can deny that they did a Nazi salute and their opponents can’t control the narrative. If instead of a Nazi salute, they did something more subtle, then people might think that they weren’t facing any consequences because their opponents were giving them the benefit of the doubt, but with the Nazi salute there is no doubt. Their opponents would do something if they could, and they can’t.
- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 1 week ago:
There’s no benefit to cutting contact as a matter of principle. It won’t impede Trump even a little and it probably won’t change your dad’s political views either. Is he willing to avoid talking to you about politics? Do you enjoy his company when he isn’t talking about politics? If the answers to these questions are “yes” then I see no good reason to hurt him and yourself by cutting contact.

I’ve even heard that they’re not making the coffee just because they want to either.
- Comment on Should have been born a Limited Liability Corporation 3 weeks ago:
Chickpeas are my favorite. I enjoy the taste of them right out of the can. They dry ones are also good if soaked overnight in cold water and then eaten without further preparation. They become pleasantly crunchy, like nuts.
- Comment on Should have been born a Limited Liability Corporation 3 weeks ago:
I’m probably going to sound like a space allowing alien, but enough beans to feed a grown man costs two dollars a day. The beans are nutritious and relatively palatable.

(Clearly it isn’t.)
Of course, thank you!

- Comment on Google removes pledge to not use AI for weapons from website | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
If there’s a conflict and I get to choose whether or not the side I’m on has killbots, I’ll definitely choose killbots. Especially if the enemy has them.
- Comment on I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay? 4 weeks ago:
Why aren’t burly men coming for musk?
He has the support of the people with a monopoly on violence.
How can my neighbor sit by and let it happen to me
The fact that your neighbor can’t do anything is what makes it a monopoly.
- Comment on I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay? 4 weeks ago:
Does it matter who has the monopoly on violence, if you don’t? You pay taxes because if you refuse to for long enough, burly men with guns will eventually take your stuff and lock you up.

Termites and ants are natural enemies.
Like beetles and ants.

Isn’t that a termite mound?
- Comment on I'll have one war please 4 weeks ago:
When I was a kid, I was fascinated by dinosaurs. I wanted to be a paleontologist until I really thought about what the fact that dinosaurs are extinct means. It means that a paleontologist can only ever find the remnants of cool animals that are all already gone. Sure, the skeletons themselves are interesting but they’re still just a faint trace of the real thing, which is forever in the past.
I feel like that about traveling as a form of exploration. Seeing Machu Pichu for myself would be kind of interesting, but what’s the point of repeating something millions of people have done already? I’m not going to see anything that they haven’t seen. The experience might still have some hedonic value to me, but in that sense it wouldn’t be different in kind from staying home and playing video games.
There’s still plenty of new stuff to see and do in the world, but it’s far less straightforward than just getting on a plane. You have to do scientific research, invent something, or create truly original art.

- Comment on Chain of thought AI 4 weeks ago:
we are so speedy about being context aware we don’t even notice
I think the difference isn’t that we’re fast at being context-aware but rather that we’re slow at noticing.
- Comment on Not even OpenAI's $200/mo ChatGPT Pro plan can turn a profit 1 month ago:
I think this is just OpenAI marketing.
“Insane thing: We are currently losing money on OpenAI Pro subscriptions!” he wrote in a post.
The problem? Well according to @Sama, “people use it much more than we expected.”
Oh no, ChatGPT is too useful to customers! Altman isn’t going to be telling any real problems that OpenAI has to the whole world over Twitter.
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 1 month ago:
I can appreciate a sunset or a flower without needing these things to have “a human behind it all”.
With that said, art is far from the most important potential application of AI. I am merely amused that right now I can ask a computer to draw a cow in the style of Monet and get a pretty good result. The amazing thing is not present-day capability (which is remarkable but not world-changing) but rather what the rate of progress implies about the near future. I think that a computer better than any human at everything (or at least at every intellectual task) is likely within my lifetime.
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Why forbidden? They’re the same chemical, and chalk like this, meant for young children, shouldn’t have any toxic additives.
- Comment on Would "god cum" be correct? 2 months ago:
Yeah, and there’s no meaningful difference between terms “substance” and “matter” except that “matter” is probably the one that the test taker is expected to memorize without really understanding.
