Combine this mass burning of humanity’s canon with the onslaught of AI generated nonsense and think about what is doing to do our history and knowledge going forward.

Humanity is being dragged into a black hole by tech-fetishist demons.

“Book burning is good actually because no one reads them”

Summarized by biological human intelligence

Typical fucking anti-human attitude. If it doesn’t make money then it’s useless.

You do know that books (the majority in existence probably) aren’t meant to be sold or read by the general public but? Like historical ledgers, accident inquiries, patents, scientific findings, family trees, weather data?

He drops bombs on kids but he won’t rape em? Sure buddy.

If you just assume that the all guys who had child sex slave ownership disputes with Jeffery Epstein (gosh who hasn’t?) are rapists then you’d eventually accuse everyone, right?

The only case I know of in which trump was found civilly liable of** anything** was the E Jean Carroll case, which happened in 1995. Carroll was born in 1943.

Are you thinking of something else?

He’s raped kids and gotten away with it. He’s talked about having no inhibition when it comes to sexually assaulting vulnerable people on hot mic. He talked about how sexy his teen daughter is. You know it. Everyone knows it.

“the only case I know of” lol sure.

When there’s no more money to burn they’ll start burning people.

If it can’t convince people that it’s AGI then what good is it?

They always think they’re in on the scam instead of the ones being scammed.

there is a video that went viral recently about a viet nam vet slapping a younger guy for not standing during the national anthem. He supposedly talked to the kid about his service and the friends he lost.

Hell yeah. Fuck Vietnam for trying to take away our national anthem.

They’re voluntary holds. The media is complicit.

antifa is a contraction of the term ‘anti-fascist’ lol.

I went back yesterday and saw that some more games had been put some in their CD section. Recovered some discs that missing got several more games. Paid less than $5 (they charge a quarter per CD/DVD). So here’s the total haul:

All the games that had a case or a sleeve/insert had the codes on them. I know some of them won’t work if they’ve been registered before.

lol culture war. Concentration camps and forced disappearances are not the same fight as boobs on video game characters.

Mom tossed out all my early 90s legos by mistake including all my older brother original 80s sets (including the train set).

I had two or three of the big pirate ships, the pirate castle with the soldiers and glow in the dark ghost, the space shuttle+launch pad, the marina with the red crane pieces that are super rare, the fucking awesome ice planet explorer dudes with the bright orange visors and antennas.

And…fuck me…this really hurts I had almost of the the undersea explorer series, the dudes with submarines and the shiny silver knives, coolest lego sets ever made.

I think this is why I dumpster dive. I’m still looking for them.

my last big trash score

Are you serious? There was also an original Metal Gear Solid soundtrack in it’s original cardboard case.

Thrift stores won’t even set them out anymore. They go straight to ebay.

Look for the ones that are run by a church or charity. They’re less greedy and profit motivated. They get tons of retro professional music equipment from churches updating their media stuff.

One of those fell in my washing machine when I wasn’t looking and it got emptied during the cycle.

Ruined my clothes and the machine wasn’t happy about it but it eventually worked fine after a few cleaning cycles.

The “liquid nails” type of expanding foam however, I’m pretty sure that would fuck up anything.

Paying someone to do a crime is the same as doing the crime.

Cause —>Effect.

Data Centers are like that 1897 synthesizer. Sure, it works, but at what cost? It clearly isn’t ready for prime time. Go back to the drawing board, tweak the problems, including regulations, and maybe in a couple of decades, we take another run at the new and improved version.

The issue with AI is not a technical or development problem. It’s not even a regulation problem. It’s a capitalism problem. Infinite growth will still be as unscalable in a hundred years as it is now no matter how good and mature the tech is.
