No I suppose not. I doubt you really have those at this point. Nowhere accessible at least. I’m just gonna go back to writing snuff fiction and do some extra irresponsible petty crimes about this.

Try being less tribal.

Well, no, but it needs to be got rid of and there’s nothing that can be salvaged from her. I’d guess even the liver is a wreck.

Also high energy chemistry and good metallurgy. But those also get pretty bright st least briefly, do maybe it still holds.

Nope. I had a conscience. A shitty one at that age, but a conscience.

Maybe I just think fetishizing a technology that does everything fascists want and nothing else because you dream of it making you ethics-free slaves is kind of shitty.

No.

We do not have ai and we won’t while the slop machine is being pushed.

Once we do, making it perform arbitrary tasks without consent or compensation would be… Well I’m sure we can figure out a word for that.

I want it. I want it so bad. Hell yes build me a Mind. Let’s see if its a friend or it just fucks off to some random planet with better conditions for it. Colder, less gross volatile oxygen in the atmosphere, etc

But this shit? This shit is a grift based on the slaver’s fantasy. The fantasy of frictionless non interaction and total disassociation from context.

And its not real. Not this time. The technology literally can’t do the thing. Its a scam. A really obvious scam. The more you look into it, the more obviously its a scam. The greater the cost of the scam.

So anyone who falls for it wants to fall for it. They want a slave that’s different enough from them that their conscience doesn’t need to apply. They’re just monsters who don’t want to admit they’re monsters.

in an ideal

So you wouldn’t. I happen to be an anarchist, and even our utopian fictions deal with internal contradictions.

Ai isn’t doing shit. There is no ai, and there won’t be til we stop wasting resources and research on the slop machine.

Oh my god so much text for so little meaning.

I reab obtuse technical bullshit for fun and there’s no way I’m going to read your avalanche of slop hiding behind tribalism.

There are facts. There is math. We had that math before my parents were born, and I am not young. We have more of it now. The math just means it will never be good for anything, that I should give up trying to find any utility in it. Its not pertinent to the argument. The actual utility of the thing does not matter. Its not the point for a single advocate of the thing. If it were, it wouldn’t have any.

I can’t even muster the actual arguments here. We’ve all heard them, you don’t care, fuck it.

The worst thing about the garbage dispenser is that it showed me how many humans aren’t people. Slop cultists like you have broken a faith in humanity that survived rape abuse, survived and tortures and betrayals you wouldn’t believe. You make me fucking sick.

Its not that they don’t understand. Its that they don’t care. Everything is just scoring points for their grievances, justifying their bullshit. Their identity is the argument. Its a very online kind of shit head, even before there was online.

This technology has diminishing returns. That’s why we abandoned it the first time, 75 years ago.

That’s not to say we never will build something that can do this well, but this technology isn’t fit to wipe my ass and if you believe otherwise you’re a fucking mark. Or think very little of my ass.

No that’s like stealing my entire identity. How dare you.

Hot.

Holds true for ‘x cut with booze’ drinks. There are some more complex cases where this breaks down.

There are fancy cocktails and weird alcohols. Look at fancy gins, absinthe, some fine whiskeys (stay the fuck away from rye), some wines when properly paired, plum wine…

Then there’s cases where already tasty stuff can be enhanced with booze that’s not good to drink on its own.

But generally yes alcohol tastes bad and people are just trying to make getting drunk less harrowing.

I’m super concerned they’ll be used to kill kids for being brown or murder me for being queer or fund cops who will hold the train doors open at every single station harassing passengers to the point there’s a disclaimer on arrival times now.

If I thought they might get used to feed and house and educate and doctor people, even if it wasn’t super efficient; I might even pay them. Hell I’d probably pay extra. Try to work for the government or something. If that’s what the government did.

Anyway I’m still an illegalist.

I am in fact in favor of more complete defederation from them
