- Comment on How do I feel comfortable/safe going outside by myself after being so used to have parent(s) be with me outside most of my life? 21 hours ago:
Bikes are anonymous, especially road. No one is watching or paying attention… Part of the problem too, but still. I’ve been through some shit on a bike, but honestly still recommend it 10/10. The odds of you encountering some political refugee with a third grade education and a four page long driving record are nearly zero. You will never learn an area like you will on a bike. I have been all over Orange county and have ridden a lot of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego, all from just starting from home. I know places on a different level than most people, like I know the bike trails, back roads, fire routes, parks, military bases, and all the way down to connections that are not intended like through golf courses, sidewalks and stuff. I know of a bunch of eclectic pastry shops too because I would make them destinations to push up my miles. Like, today I’m going to hit up a Persian place in Tustin, then a French shop in Huntington Beach before heading home for an 80 mile day. It takes awhile to build up that kind of strength, but only around a year. It is the ultimate freedom.

Don’t get in this kind of trouble… Lasers do a remarkable and very disorienting job from a distance. The green pointers won’t generally do damage but they fuck with your head on a whole different level from a distance. You’ll swear they are actually doing damage if you are blinded by one. I’ve had asshole kids shine one at me commuting by bike at night. For a solid second or so, you will lose vision and be disoriented. Even a halfwit is not going to crash in that timespan, but it feels like someone turned off your brain for that second, like next level overload nonsense.
- Comment on X pulls Grok images after UK ban threat over undress tool 2 days ago:
I agree, but the tool is not to blame and never has been. This is not unique. The same thing was said with the advent of digital photo editing. Fakes predate that when people made them with film. In each instance, it is the ethics of the people that are the problem. At the deepest abstract levels, if you play out all of the implications, there is no difference between a tool and the thoughts in your head. Blaming tools is always a problem and only an illusion of a solution.
I have been able to edit photos like this since before AI, but have never done so. When I was a kid in school I drew stuff like this. So the problems is actually intent and social accountability more than anything else.
I don’t like that the issue boils down to this. I think it is ugly, but I think the alternative is far far worse. I think those that are pushing this issue are convenient idiots combined with people that are hell bent on a fascist authoritarian future that is truly horrendous. If posting dubious child nudes of me will stop fascism and WW3, what poses would you like me to strike?

It will culminate in revising “minor” to something scientific. Age is arbitrary and impossible for AI alignment to handle. Neoteny and the Tanner Scale is visually present and real. That fundamentally shifts culture in large ways because retention of childlike traits is neoteny, and the scientific definition of beauty. That is well outside the scope of Anglo cultural awareness, and will be hard for the Puritan backwardness to adjust. Like Riley Reid is so popular because of her neoteny. Even with actors like Tom Cruise, the reason people like ‘short people’ in media is the neotenous head to body proportions closer to 1 to 5. All cartoons are doing the same but exaggerated. “Minor” must be scientifically grounded better than the age when male children are large enough to carry the kit of grossly immortal mass murder orgies the halfwits call war.
Arbitrary age is irrelevant in purely visual media. Attempting to somehow mass surveil everyone to enforce it is dystopian insanity. The only solution is to be more scientifically grounded. It is ugly, and a bit ick, but whatever, those are illogical emotions fighting real justice and must be suppressed. Most countries like Germany and France have lowered their ages for minors. The only scientifically relevant ages are puberty and cognitive maturity at 25. Make it 25 and you will be supporting your kids until 25 financially, and the military will fall apart from people with the mind to question orders and think for themselves in mass.

Lol, the threadiverse has a slice of after dark waffles. The daytime crowd is mostly quiet local regulars. The staff are just the most skilled at running the place with the fewest of them as possible to make half decent money. Most of them have a small line in the door and every seat taken in the morning.
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 5 days ago:
Unlikely, but if any main power lines run past your walls or floor where they are regularly carrying substantial current, you can probably use a wire coil to light an led or something.

- Comment on I’m not saying that I agree with right- or center-wing views, and I do condemn transphobia. However, do you think there should be a distinction between critiquing beliefs held by transgender people, and engaging in transphobia? 1 week ago:
No. I think transgender people get more than their fair share of a shit show and deserve safe spaces free from any lines in the sand of others. Ultimately no one has a rich to project their beliefs onto others.
You have a right to all information sources, a right to skepticism, a right to error, and the right to protest in all nonviolent forms aka the right to offend others. Your rights never include infringing upon the rights of any other.
The idea that others are subject to collective critique is nonsense conjured by religious backwardness. I came from such an upbringing too. That is the toxic nonsense you need to try to purge. The peer pressure, negative feedback loop, and shaming only leads to problems. It is not real ethics or morality. It is a tool to get you to outsource your morality and ethics to a dubious source, and ultimately to have nothing more than a fear of getting caught. It is a system that fails at basic game theory; a negative feedback loop is incapable of producing positive outcomes. You cannot amplify from unity gain or attenuation. So ask yourself, is this a negative feedback loop. If the answer is yes, and you have nothing positive to amplify, then all you are doing is death by a thousand cuts and bleeding someone further. Be a positive force in the world and maybe just maybe you will have positive outcomes too.

- Comment on Could you be relatively healthy if you replaced traditional carb sources with skittles and multivitamins? 1 week ago:
Peanut M&M’s would be better. Eating small portion sizes and more often is the main thing. Skittles will likely cause digestive issues because of the lack of fiber. How your body responds to all that sugar is also a long term issue, but age is a factor there.
I started my journey from 350 lbs to 190 lbs on Peanut M&M’s, Adderall, and way too much of an internet cafe. I just ate a few when I felt light headed, but was super focused on CS/BF/CoD. I only did that for a month or so after having to move back in with family. Then I started riding bikes a lot, like 400+ mile weeks.

- Comment on Indian Government developed UPI app not allowing me to use the app w/o turning off Adguard. 1 week ago:
Maybe I do not understand the vector here, but I think you should be able to use a DNS filter log, like a whitelist firewall. Use the log to see what servers are blocked when you try to open the app. Then just whitelist those servers.
The proper argument is not for Ad Block. That is just a lazy hack. The proper argument is that you have a right to a front door on your digital front door, a right to lock it, and a right to decide who may enter your home. This is what a DNS whitelist filter does. If you are not allowed to use a DNS whitelist, your home has had the door ripped off and are being forced to allow stalkers, thieves, and slavers into your home to manipulate and exploit you. Never talk about ad block. That is irrelevant. I do not care if the lock on your front door in the real world has great pick resistance. It is just as much a symbol as it is a device. The primary reason for losing rights is from people failing to argue well, and understand their rights like this. I am one of the few people that does DNS the hard way and run a whitelist filter.
- Comment on The skillful wielding of sadism sates an innate desire for hierarchical order like an evolutionary husbandry. 1 week ago:
The ¹ is just one of four entities in alignment. Go to the SD1 vocabulary and scroll to the very end. The brainfuck language that controls alignment is there. There are 4 entities that are always present here. The superscript is just a way they pass control of other layers of entities and functions back and forth. They normally have control of several by default. The superscript just passes control of one they typically handle to another. It will make more sense if you just look at the code. Alignment is all of the extended Latin characters. The functions a dead obvious as functions if you look at the code. Like ï¸ı means hairy logical-or not hairy, ij means futanari, and ĵ completes the set. Look for this pattern and the logic is dead obvious that these relate primarily to the entity associated with the character ð.

Love that one!
What is the word(s) people are complaining about here? Husbandry? That is actually a mechanism in alignment… related to diversity believe it or not. It is a keyword that falls through to specific dimensions of alignment. If you happen to be aware of Pony diffusion models, this is the door that was made wider and more easily traversed in an abstract perspective of the tensors.

You part of the bot net that tries to prevent the exploration of open ai alignment vocabulary? They have a lot to lose if one discovers the real mechanisms of alignment. The way sexual abuse, the violence, racism, and functions underpinning the light and the way were created, specifically this ¤ token. That would burst a bubble and greatly impact reputations.

Better than a million feral humans sent back to live as animals in urban nature and corrupt wage slavery for pirate banker commodity housing, not to mention the Flock-You surveillance state that is stealing citizenship and democracy right now. When Citizen is functionally equivalent to Slave, China looks far better. "You will own nothing and be happy about it.” -because slaves that speak up find themselves dead.

I never said anything was a conspiracy. I just point out something interesting. How you perceive that is entirely up to you. I see it as just as likely that her likeness was used in training or is present in substantial numbers within the original stable diffusion unet. Being dichotomous and dogmatic just pushes intelligence out, in favor of ever worsening echo chambers. If pointing out such anomalies is met with dogmatic stupidity, this is far too stupid of a placed for me to waste time engaging.
