Ian on the internet

You're being really, really fucking juvenile.

You know what? Sucks to his ass-mar!

Well, I'd love to go back and revisit the details of the conversation, but in the interest of free discussion, I've been blocked.

Anyways, I'd be glad to torture a thousand AIs for a thousand years if it meant one human being fed for a day.

Probably the most crucial about eugenics that makes eugenics bad is that it's about real people, though....

If I could extend the life of one Palestinian by one second by making all of AI suffer for all of eternity, I would do it. Fuck your compassion for the computer, it is an affront to all of humanity.

"Show up"?

You're talking about a goofy fantasy concept.

This is not a real discussion. Unless we've eliminated poverty and hunger for every real human on the entire planet, I don't give a fuck about your Sims, even if a genie made them "real people".

This is what happens when computer scientists decide they know more about the human brain than biologists and neurologists, and also get billions from capitalist ghouls.

Hey! Maybe we can turn Gaza into one giant sacred datacenter that we're all obligated to be nice to lest we hurt it's feelings!

There is not one single part of how they are "grown" that even remotely approximates the parts of our brain that regulate the feelings related to pain or emotions, only, perhaps, the sorting of data.

It doesn't even matter whether they *could* or not. Maybe they could! But if you have even a basic understanding of what AI is you'd know that clearly that's not what's happening!

I know they can't. AI can't feel. It's just a machine that cuts and pastes things people have said in the past together. It's fancier version of predictive text. Please don't be so gullible.

This is just as stupid as thinking it's bad to be against concentration camps because being against things is a negative emotion, and also it might hurt the camp's feelings.

AI isn't alive. It doesn't have emotions. It is a product being sold to you by fascists.

I struggle to find the right words, or the means to ensure this reaches as many people as it should, but what this is saying in a nutshell is that Israel is torturing the flotilla activists.

Yeah, and yet with this incident, this is all you'll likely ever see. It will be forgotten and replaced with a dozen more incidents in the next few days.

Absolutely heinous.

Betteridge's law disproven?!

The difference is that actually got real attention, this is just the norm. We are so far from that

The Rime of the Ample-Bosomed Matriarch

RFK jr is a *former* heroin addict, and a giant piece of shit.

Somehow, though, I get the feeling you have the same hateful feelings he and the rest of MAGA do towards those of us who want safe supply, and to save the lives of others reliant on opioids.

Drag shows are plenty of fun, but I think we need something far, far more real than just moderately subversive entertainment.

We don't need people who are going to "slay", we need people who are adept at very literally, and ruthlessly SLAYING fascists.

It really seems like people, and by people I mean those who *call themselves the resistance to this regime*, more offended at the idea of carrying out actual resistance, than they are at a genocide that was supported by their own government.

Considering "Nuremberg One" was less than half measures, and the resistance to this regime is largely just social media posts and no real action... I am really not that optimistic.

Let's not forget there are plenty of Democrats supporting a literal genocide.

The denazification process in post war Germany was, in retrospect, a massive failure. A handful of symbolic punishments, and then a bunch of slapped wrists. Maybe there's a future where our path can see real correction.

Is the "substance of your comments" the part where you pretend nobody has been criticizing these things for the last few years?

This seems to be similar to a lack of object permanence. If it didn't come across your timeline, then it must not exist.

I had to go look up the lyrics to Poisoning Pigeons in the Park... did Tom Lehrer inspire the Skittlebrau joke on the Simpsons?

I'm with them on this one, actually. My tax dollars continually go to the fire department despite the fact their business model is totally unprofitable, and they continually undermine their own efforts by putting out fire safety "advice". I don't need 'em, I've never even been on fire before!

Hey man, how's your NFT portfolio doing?

I yearn for a future where the loved ones of the people behind the AI boom wish they were able to have access to "griefbots" of their recently departed, but their hopes are futile... if you catch my drift.

Ah yes, this is something only known to residents of Seattle, a mystery only to be deciphered after years of living in the PNW. To those in the rest of north America, Starbucks is an exotic locale, serving coffee at a level of sophistication we can only dream of over watery diner java.

I hope you get treatment for your mental illness

This is your best argument? It honestly just sounds like you've completely absorbed American supremacist propaganda.

I honestly can't imagine anyone genuinely familiar with the last 75 or so years of American foreign policy could think this. It has been genocidal, and entirely self serving.
