If you grasped that other people have interiority like you it would be impossible to even have a conversation with a chatbot because there’s no there there & you need to be speaking to another person like you who has something on the inside to get something out of interaction.

"I asked Chat GPT and -" ok, I asked the exhumed corpse of Pope Formosus during the Cadaver Synod and he went "... ... ..." and then his jaw fell off and it was still a better answer

idk maybe it's not a horror, maybe disappearing its butthole is a defense against men who say "whoops it just slipped in"

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

you’re still just a plain fuckin loser if you use GenAI

ICE is a force of evil and must be defunded and abolished for democracy to survive.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

On behalf of large majority of Americans, who are appalled by the Trump administration’s catastrophic Greenland policy and firmly reject any aggression of any form against our NATO allies, I applaud the European leaders who are standing up to defend our common values.

visenyaism on tumblr: "Honestly fuck A1 for making me have to go on and on defending the dignity of toil like I'm some kind of protestant"

I know there are much worse things going on in the world but if men (always cis, almost always het) could stop explaining things without being asked that would be great

these guys aren't pretending to offer Greenlanders or any of their neoimperialist victims freedom or equality or self-determination. they're just offering to consume them and despoil their land of natural resources. An earlier generation of Americans would have hung them at nuremberg for it

can you replace a burned quesadilla with a quesadilla

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Embassytown is *great*

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

spend more money on me daddy

I would have fallen for it if you had

todd what's this about the moon should I be worried etc

there we are having a nice civilized hundred years war, just how everyone likes it, and then the french decide to rock up with bloody joan of arc, you can't just bring a living saint to the battlefield, it's not sporting, wafting miracles everywhere like its going out of fashion, it was outrageous

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

The Republican party wants to force people to have more children, children which they also want to kill and rape. You can tell because of the policies they support that do these things and the pedophiles they defend.

long winded joke about kids in a santa movie thinking they were sent back in time to hang out with a jolly bearded gift giver but instead going to the council of nycea and listening to hours of debate with St Nicholas of Myra

Time again for my favorite christmas post ever, one that still makes me laugh every time i read it

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

One of the dilemmas of living through the second Trump administration is that saying these things out loud seems crazy. But yeah, the death penalty is an established, well-documented thing we have on the books for precisely these kinds of crimes; they obviously did it; and it's not hard to prove.

pickle me in your ardor daddy

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling”

Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I'm not against the idea that some sort of silicon intelligence *might* arise at some point--we're not even nearly there as far as I can tell--but humans are SO programmed to regard things that do not have human agency as if they do have human agency, that this seems like a necessary move

my most butlerian jihad coded belief is that we should probably make it illegal – and more importantly, we should work toward a cultural consensus that it is immoral – to design a computer program whose interface uses the first person
