[HANDMAIDEN]'s tale

AI

i miss webrings and 468x60 banner ads

anybody up for mounting a NÄX shelf today

fuck 😭

do not use the microwave and air fryer simultaneously. this enturbulates the thetan

anyway i'm going back to using "toaster" to refer to these fracking machines

happy lesbians to you too

you're so surfer dude coded (positive affect)

the internet is a machine invented to turn people insane

I genuinely thought she snagged her dewclaw on her bed frame or something like that

i swear to god if we have to come up with a new word for "machine" i am going to be very cross with all of you

we all really just wanted a single word to disparage linear algebra and the people pushing it 😮‍💨 the choice of word was a bit silly because GPUs/TPUs don't "clank" in any appreciable way.

i think there's nothing we can do to fully stop the treadmill of slur word appropriation

i know it sounds a bit "oh i was in the moral right all along" but i don't recall using the word against an actual machine, but rather purely in metadiscussions about the word which...i suppose could be its own subject of interest

went into a heated battle assuming people thought the topic was "you can slur a machine" or "ai might have feelings" but came out a changed xan

I would also like to apologise for lumping you in with fascists. That was not cool of me in the least, especially given your locale.

I would like to further qualify my apology in stating that I am sorry for dunking on and browbeating you needlessly and assuming bad faith on your part, assuming that you were browbeating others for the sake of it.

you hate to see it folks

I do regret to inform y'all that the obvious thing has happened and the questionable fake slur is now becoming an active real slur.

(I'll be honest, I really should've seen this one coming)

i have learned an important lesson this evening: all words are slurs that exist in a state of quantum superposition until they are observed to be slurs

I appreciate it. I am pretty disappointed people would go out of their way to say that to her, but shouldn't be so surprised they suck that badly in practice.

I have no problems admitting I am wrong

I owe you an apology.

I apologise.

You got me.

i'll grant you that one

literally nobody was doing that before you made it up in this post

the goalposts you moved six hours ago are back that way ☝️

this post really lives in my head

feels like some subset of these people are genuine leftists who found a particular way AI is useful for them in their mandate to provide for capital and just can't shake the cognitive dissonance. the people who make AI their whole personality, however, asking "why don't leftists like AI?", well,
