Photuris

My comment was deleted for being too hardcore I guess (even though it got upvotes, so at least someone agrees with me). But I spoke zero lies and I 100% stand by what I said.

Regardless, I’ll rephrase in a gentler way: empathy is wasted on these people. They are effectively irredeemable.

I say we dispense with empathy. Casting pearls before swine, and all that.

If we wish to defeat Fascism, we cannot be gentle.

Our grandfathers who defeated Fascism in Europe didn’t do it by being understanding and forgiving. Allied soldiers dragged German citizens to the concentration camps and made them look at it.

Sometimes shaming is exactly what you need to do.

100% we need to switch back to entirely paper ballots, even if it takes months to determine a winner.

Well, they’re certainly not “conservatives.” I see no conserving going on.

So, what do we do?

There are also external AI tools that do this just fine.

But imagine these tools generating summaries of summaries.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

They will be, when it affects them personally.

In other words, typical Republican thinking.

Protestors are adults who understand and accept the risks.

People are going to die defending democracy. And the jackboots will most likely shoot first. We all know this.

War is coming, let’s stop pretending it’s not gonna happen.

Microsoft Outlook started this stupid shit.

Before then, emails (and Usenet posts) were always appended to the bottom, and good netiquette required one to intentionally quote the specific germane lines from the previous message and respond to them inline, point-by-point, for brevity, conciseness, and context, just as God intended.

But the general public (myself included) doesn’t really understand how our own reasoning happens.

Does anyone, really? i.e., am I merely a meat computer that takes in massive amounts of input over a lifetime, builds internal models of the world, tests said models through trial-and-error, and outputs novel combinations of data when said combinations are useful for me in a given context in said world?

Is what I do when I “reason” really all that different from what an LLM does, fundamentally? Do I do more than language prediction when I “think”? And if so, what is it?

Jesus Christ software’s about to get far, far worse innit?

You just unlocked a memory here.

They’ve been trying to start something for awhile now. I think they’ve been genuinely surprised by the lack of eagerness on the part of most Americans to get involved in civil unrest (because we’re normal people who don’t want to do that shit unless there really is no other recourse).

What does your hardware setup look like, if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m thinking of building something, but I don’t want to spend a fortune if I can help it. I run Lllama on a Mac Mini, which works fine, but I’m not able to run the bigger models on that.

Alien vs. Predator.

Whoever loses, we win.

Either a hero when it works, or a victim when it doesn’t, never any personal accountability.

Typical Narcissist/Sociopath (i.e., giant cunt).

But people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (and related Cluster B disorders) have been known to come out of the psychedelic experience with an even bigger egomaniacal God complex than they had going into the experience, counterintuitively.

The quality of your life is the sum of the quality of the five people with whom you spend the most time.

I don’t regret deleting mine. I don’t need any of that shit, fuck ’em.
