What’s almost causing me to spiral is the commonality of socialism and communism being portrayed as on the road to monarchism. I’m not spiralling because I very quickly realise that these are all made by idiots, and/or that what they are focusing on is the perception of socialism and communism as being authoritarian.

That and “antifa fascists” in chart 4. AKA the Scists. lol

LOL it’s almost as if the prerequisite to making a political compass is to be completely fucked in the head

Finally, someone has solved the political compass. No-one will ever come up with a new political spectrum again. Soon we will have world peace

Softbank!!! It’s happening!!!

Refractorive Altruism

I am familiar. Not a problem!

As funny as that is, I am sure that there are nonprofits that are aiming to stop fapping.

It is a CIA psyop to prevent revolutionary thought from arising in written media, in that it’s a self-inflicted PIP that makes you feel inadequate in your creative writing ability. CIA funding (obviously funneled through NGOs via CIA front USAID) is how it’s survived so long with such a stupid name. Of course, now that government spending on the CIA is going down, so is NaNoWriMo. All that’s left is for it to be supplanted by some benevolent Chinese competitor that people will say steals your data, or something.

/s /s /s

I’ll believe it! I didn’t want to make that claim since I had no evidence.

NaNoWriMo? Na, No Mo’. Does this have anything to do with their bungled AI policy? Maybe, maybe not, but hey, the news article that I saw this announcement in thought that it was pertinent to mention.

OpenAI: Nah, I’d become profitable

Ok. Full disclosure. When you said “Shad”, I thought you meant a different internet person who is shitty for creating morally degenerate art, so when I read this I thought that they had pivoted to AI and was like, I guess that tracks. But no, different shithead.

Anyway. Bland and uninspired? All actual art is inspired, just by default. If it were truly bland, you wouldn’t be able to discern anything from it, which is just not the case. So Shad isn’t actually giving a valid opinion, he’s throwing out an insult, just so that he can elevate AI slop.

Now AI slop, on the other hand, is uninspired and bland. It is uninspired because machines do not have the ability to be inspired. It is bland because it has no intention to be discerned, so contains nothing of substance.

Takes:

1. Ah yes the classic “combine a bunch of worthless things together to magically create value” that caused the financial crisis
2. Those banks aren’t taking their pounds of flesh fast enough. Maybe they don’t want to cut into Musk’s bloated corpse of a body.
3. Musk combining two things reminds me of this 16 year old video (CW: scatological humor)

That’s great. In a better world, all genAI users would become black goo-producing inhuman monsters to reflect their inner selves, but I suppose this is as much justice as we’ll get

Great vid. A good reminder that all the culture war people are real fucking stupid and I am right to disengage from scrapping with them.

It must be nice not being so terminally online as myself

Don’t worry, I assure you that I am suffering in different ways

Anyone who uses gen AI is my opp, status report:

• so far every restaurant that I’ve been to where I noticed AI slop as part of the decor has sucked. One of the ones local to me closed, hooray!
• IDF: haha look we are Ghibli please send us more machine guns
• a third thing

“Goonernomicon: Grummz | Part 1” just dropped! Posting this as a stub because it’s only adjacent to the ordinary purview. A+++ chud hater content.

Is Japanese really that strict

my Japanese uncle that works at nintendo says yes. If you write わ instead of は they make you 切腹 in front of all your friends
