- Comment on Trump team leaks AI plans in public GitHub repository 1 week ago:
What’s sad is that this is a consequence not just of this admins shittiness but of a long enshittification of our government.
Not only do government jobs pay a mediocre salary until you get really really far in the org, a fact that only gets worse as the idea of a middle class lifestyle gets gutted, but for decades now, working a government job has become less and less prestigious. It used to be that there were always plenty of loonies who found pride in being a “public servant” and thought the best place to use their genius was in government.
Now, as we see, there’s no one in these positions with even cursory knowledge of how these programs work.
And there’s definitely no millennials or zoomers fresh out of tech school that would debase themselves to working in government who would be able see these flaws in two seconds.

Because in real life they would have to have a walkie talkie moth on the moon and that takes too long duh.
- Comment on Crossover episode 1 week ago:
Fun fact: moths don’t actually fly towards flames/lights. They have an instinct to orient their backs towards the light, presumably so that they can fly parallel to the moon at night which keeps them parallel to the ground.
They don’t fly into lights intentionally, instead they keep re-orienting their back to it in a tighter and tighter spiral until they hit it.

It’s a catch 22. Nobody wants the cum of the celebrities that would do it and no celebrity who people want the cum from would do it.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
That’s the point of this post. That’s fun for me too. But if you’re living with someone, you’ve found out what their opinion on free will and almost every other deep conversation you could have with them in the first few years. How will it look 15 years later? Either you rehash the same conversation about free will multiple times a day or you wander around the same house in abject silence for months until one of you can think of a good continuation of that 20 year long “what is the meaning of life?” conversation you’ve been having. Instead just learn to small talk, life is long and it’s nice to have the affirmation that a loved one still pays attention to and cares about your day to day.

Modern is defined as the current year of whatever writer coined the term. So after writing about the “modern” day for a century…

I always called it a sploof. And walking in on people who had just used it, it does not work at all. But if you’re high it seems like it’s working wonders lol.
- Comment on ‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment. 1 month ago:
This is a really interesting paragraph to me because I definitely think these results shouldn’t be published or we’ll only get more of these “whoopsie” experiments.
At the same time though, I think it is desperately important to research the ability of LLMs to persuade people sooner rather than later when they become even more persuasive and natural-sounding. The article mentions that in studies humans already have trouble telling the difference between AI written sentences and human ones.
- Comment on If you're a broke vampire, just say that 1 month ago:
I’m in the middle of reading Dracula for the first time right now and while the count part makes it seem normal for Dracula to be living in the castle, the castle is absolutely a vampire stronghold that has been in the dracula family for centuries because they are vampires.
Like I’m sure the count thing is a good excuse but it’s implied that they’ve been around and probably in the castle since before “counts” were a thing.

- Comment on Is it time to stop? 1 month ago:
Maybe some country will drop a nuke, or a supervolcano erupts, or america will experience a surprise land invasion and when any major event like that happens I want to be one of the first to know.
Now it never has happened and it probably won’t in my lifetime but don’t tell my brain that.

- Comment on US | Trump says ‘there are methods’ for seeking third term in White House 2 months ago:
I think that’s exactly the “methods” he’s exploring.
Convince another country to drop a nuke and you might be able to be a wartime president for 10 more years.

- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 3 months ago:
It’s semantics. The difference between an llm and “asking” wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will “answer” you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.

- Comment on Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke 4 months ago:
Idk, it seems worse that he’s self aware. Before it could be dumping these women because he gets some “ick” about them that he can’t explain. It turns out the ick is a deeply misogynistic fetishization of youth, but if he didn’t put any thought into it at least you could say he’s a toxic product of his culture.
If he’s aware of it then it’s something he could be working on and changing and he instead makes the active choice not to do anything about it.
