Just for watching movies.

Fuck.

VERY NSFW

Watch at your own risk. Up close and unedited.

Such a pointless waste of time with the only purpose being to ingratiate bigots with other bigots.

So fucking stupid.

So they lied. And they’ll lie again. And they’ll get away with it.

That’s who these people are and they’re fucking all over the US. They’re everywhere. The Confederacy is alive and well in the US. Are they making a comeback? Just look at people like Hegseth, and we all know these types voted for trump.

Difficult not to be doomer here. I don’t see anything changing.

Countries all around the world (that are democratic) citizens are electing conservatives and far right increasingly. And of the worst kind (trump). Unless these conservatives that are elected cause such big problems (and fast enough) that cause people to shift to progressive voting, we’re not gonna make meaningful change in remotely enough time.

And we have so much fucking work to do to actually fix these problems.

Press X for doubt.

EPSTEIN

I will maybe get destroyed for this comment, as I have in the past, but oh well…

The trans in sports topic shouldn’t be considered this binary issue that defines your political alignment or morals.

It undeniably seems more complicated than some make it out to be. Use silly over exaggerated examples: if a man becomes a steroid popping powerlifter professionally, then decides to transition to being a woman, should he then be allowed to compete in women’s powerlifting competitions? Over exaggeration, but there’s a point isn’t there? I don’t really know, but it seems like in this thought experiment, she would easily beat out all other competitors. Insert any other sport where men dominate over women due to biology. Is this a bad way to think? If so, why? You made the example in swimming.

I will forever support and vote politically to protect all minorities, including the LGBT community. I will always reject bigotry. But saying this is not a complicated issue, just doesn’t seem right. And questioning it in this way, doesn’t make me a bigot. Let trans athletes compete in any sport? Categorize them differently? I don’t know, Im not sure it’s that easy.

At the end of the day, this stuff really is a distraction that creates infighting to shift focus away from more important things. The oligarchy likes this distraction because we’re not talking about how they’re exploiting all of us. This is the kind of thing where I say “I honestly don’t know, but why aren’t we taxing the billionaires?”

He’s just divorced.

Fucking LOL!

I’m one of the moderate fanboys and I love gpt5 and not having to switch models anymore, compared to before. So far, it’s pretty good about when to think longer and when to give quick answers.

That being said, I don’t use it for anything other than STEM concepts and coding tasks. I have no idea what the complainers use it for.

I did hear that people thought it had less “personality”. Funny, I did notice it got more concise in its answers. This was an improvement for me, but I’m using it as a tool, not a friend or therapist or something. To each their own.

TIL dial up is still active. Interesting.

Who’s paying for this?

Your argument absolutely has merit. However the opposite is that there might be people there who are aware there’s maybe way more to their small world, and want nothing more than to see it.

I care more about the latter, but mainly because that’s how I would think. If we found out there’s an alien superhighway passing over earth hidden from us, and they’re keeping us “protected” and not allowing contact, I’d be very pissed off. I immediately would want to leave, meet the aliens, learn their ways and knowledge, etc…

Just sayin’, it can go both ways. Ya never know if you don’t talk to them.

Also, it seems kind of morbid and archaic in a way, keeping them protected. Not like a zoo by any means, but still. If we knew for certain they all wanted to be left alone, that’d be better.

Or Russia or something. But same difference I guess.

This feels really psychotic. All of this really makes me want to question reality. Are we in a simulation? Are we an experiment by an advanced alien race, and they’re tweaking parameters to study us?

Trump is like a grade school bully, in a lord of the flies scenario. He’s got all this power and he’s bringing in his bully friends and they’re doing shit grade school bullies would do with all this power.

And all the people who voted for him…

None of this makes any sense. The end is nigh?

If you’re a sociopath, let them suffer and die slowly, homeless.

If you’re not a sociopath, and decent, tax the rich and give them a good UBI so they can play and do art or music or video games or what the hell ever.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

will also make nonsense mistakes that don’t even make sense

It would blow things up even faster

We are already on the way to the dollar collapsing

Humans are already doing and causing all this.

they have no capacity to reason nor analyze

Nobody thinks LLMs are intelligent or conscious or able to reason, other than stupid people.

It’s a software tool. The anti-ai cult is way overthinking it. It’s insanely valuable and impressive to me as an engineer at small tasks. Fails at large tasks, but generally gets close at 80-90% which is undeniably impressive for what it is, an unintelligent machine learning LLM software tool. It’ll either improve, or something else better will come along to replace it.

Would you trust an LLM to manage your own monthly budget numbers and categorize things properly?

Sure, as a software tool to assist in the same way I might use any other software tool to make life easier. You should probably check and verify the results to verify correctness.

At the end of the day, I don’t really care. I sympathize much more with the accelerationist attitude, then protection of the status quo. If your argument is using LLMs will bring about a downfall of the system in any way, well then I can only get so erect. Hook it to my veins please.

Even by your argument, we have imbeciles like trump elected as the president of the United States, the worlds most powerful economic and military empire. Religious wars are still a thing in 2025. Putins oligarchy dictatorship is killing Ukrainian civilians, kidnapping children, and torturing POWs. This place is a fucking clown show. Let it burn.

I’m not arguing AI is intelligent or a save all for anything. I only comment on the anti-ai cult stuff as it seems more like crowd mentality nonsense. Let them use LLMs to analyze financial markets or whatever. It ain’t like skynet where they just turn it on and walk away, lol. I truly and honestly don’t think it could get any worse than the system we currently have though.

Meh.

Honestly, why would that be worse than greedy, sociopathic billionaire investors and Milton friedman style free market capitalists making all the decisions?

Shit, I’ll take a shitty LLM or even a developmentally challenged labradoodle making financial decisions over the current exploitative capitalist slop we have today.

Judge:

… Something something… suffering from affluenza… Not guilty!
