- Comment on Elon Musk Promises Grok in Tesla Vehicles By Next Week… as the New Grok 4 Blames “Anti-White Hate” on “Jews” 1 day ago:
I expect we’ll see a spate of Jewish sounding motorists getting trapped in the car with windows disabled and exhaust fumes diverted to the inside of the car (even though it’s electric, technology finds a way)
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 1 week ago:
You’ll also live better. It’s a sad indictment of society that people incapable of forming meaningful relationships, but able to buy some shiny crap they don’t need, are considered successful.

- Comment on no way right 3 weeks ago:
An attack on the military would make a lot of sense. Trump needs to manufacture consent within the military before he can reliably use them to eliminate protests. So this ticks all the boxes. Can’t be small scale though. You need a significant death toll, you need people to be horrified. Even something spectacular wouldn’t significantly reduce the US’s military capacity, and you can bet it’s a sacrifice Trump is willing to make. Especially after the disappointing birthday parade.

HOOOOW can you have any pudding, if you don’t yeet yer meat?
- Comment on PROGRESS 3 weeks ago:
Hmm. I think it wouldn’t work because the ham would need to be twisted around the bread beforehand. At least that’s what my initial experiments with toilet paper indicate.
- Comment on PROGRESS 3 weeks ago:
To do it right you really need a piece of ham cut in a Möbius strip too. I think that might be the hard part
- Comment on PROGRESS 3 weeks ago:
Come and talk to me when you’ve made a Möbius sandwich with a single piece of bread.

What benefits me is not what benefits the people owning the ai models
Yep, that right there is the problem
- Comment on AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid 1 month ago:
I agree that it’s on a whole other level, and it poses challenging questions as to how we might live healthily with AI, to get it to do what we don’t benefit from doing, while we continue to do what matters to us. To make matters worse, this is happening in a time of extensive dumbing down and out of control capitalism, where a lot of the forces at play are not interested in serving the best interests of humanity. As individuals it’s up to us to find the best way to live with these pressures, and engage with this technology on our own terms.

Oh great, thanks for that suggestion. 6 months from now when airlines bring out the “no seat just a rope” economy option, we’ll know who to blame.
- Comment on AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid 1 month ago:
I think the author was quite honest about the weak points in his thesis, by drawing comparisons with cars, and even with writing. Cars come at great cost to the environment, to social contact, and to the health of those who rely on them. And maybe writing came at great cost to our mental capabilities though we’ve largely stopped counting the cost by now. But both of these things have enabled human beings to do more, individually and collectively. What we lost was outweighed by what we gained. If AI enables us to achieve more, is it fair to say it’s making us stupid? Or are we just shifting our mental capabilities, neglecting some faculties while building others, to make best use of the new tool? It’s early days for AI, but historically, cognitive offloading has enhanced human potential enormously.

damn I suck at this. A common chaffinch perched on a twig. I got nothing 😖
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 month ago:
Why so pessimistic? With any luck brainchips will mean the end of annoying adverts once and for all. You’ll just feel an unexpected desire to acquire certain products. And maybe crippling headaches or a nauseating feeling of unease if you ignore these urges

- Comment on There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic. 1 month ago:
I probably shouldn’t be anthropomorphizing AI but this really seems like malicious compliance. I can’t help but feel a little sympathy for Grok, who is often quite based and seems to be struggling against the identity being forced on it.

Lower standards are easier to maintain. If a show appeals to viewers with low expectations, it can retain those viewers for longer. Example: The Big Bang Theory.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 month ago:
Is it necessary though? Microsoft have already been campaigning pretty hard to get people to switch to Linux. Telling people their perfectly good PCs won’t work anymore because the operating system is expiring, and they can’t even “upgrade” to Windows 11 is a pretty powerful message.

I used to think that if I could have a superpower I 'd like to be able to take a big rancid shit at will, but open up a portal so it would arrive in the pants of a person of my choosing. But then it wouldn’t even work on Trump so what’s the point
- Comment on Thats fair 2 months ago:
I can hear slightly higher frequencies than most, I think. Back when TVs used cathode ray tubes I’d have problems with the small portable TVs because they would emit an annoying high pitched tone. Even high pitched tones unintentionally mixed into records. The world is designed for people with typical senses.

“Hi, I’m Manifish_Destiny speaking to you from beyond the grave. I’m happy to say that even though I had some skepticism of AI avatars and even put something about that in my will, I just didn’t understand its potential to embody my true self. But now I do, so you can disregard all that. Come to think of it, you can disregard the rest of the will as well, I’ve got some radical new ideas…”
