I think I was turned from “China probably bad” to “China might be good” when a tankie subreddit pointed out that China actually tries to rein in the billionaires and collect taxes.

What dedication to the grift. We are real-time seeing the downfall of US influence due to the trade war shit and this MF is saying the solution is “LLMs need more ‘lectrolytes”? This world is done for.

Yeah, accelerationism before e/acc always had the consequential component of “society breaks down as a result of the rapidly worsening situation”. So like many things out there, tech people have co-opted this term and corrupted its meaning. M18n, in his deranged e/acc post, decided that the accelerationism part just meant the gotta go fast part; his assertion was that more tech fast == more society gooder, with no mention of “democracy collapses and the tech bros take over”

Amazing. Who would have thought that an idiot regressive trying to turn the clock back to the 50’s would be such an impediment to e/acc.

Also: I mean trump is still accelerationist, just not in the way (all) the e/accs necessarily want. For the e/accs only concerned about the tech side of things, trump is demonstrably decel. But trump is accelerationist for the cryptofascists.

Honestly, a couple hours over some beers might be the only way.

Putting the EA in sealion

Hooray, I’m glad that when I inevitably start seeing a therapist again, I can finally talk about all this shit without needing a ton of primer.

it highlighted the potential for facial analysis to extend beyond physical attributes into behavior prediction.

NBC/the media really killing it with painting him as a self-radicalised spook.

I actually have a shrimp torture farm. It brings me infinite joy. However its running costs are quite high and I require donations to keep it going

Is it crazy that I don’t think that the guy is the shooter? I don’t see the EA crowd, famous for bootlicking, being up to the task of CEO assassination.

Science: “our current understanding of genetics leads us to believe IQ is not heritable”.

This fucking guy: “IQ is heritable and you just haven’t proved it yet. Citation: I belong to a race with good genetics, unlike you”

I mean yes this is all very off the rails fascist but I can do better.

• bribe the government for nuclear bombs and detonate them in volcanoes to trigger The Big One and separate the bay area from america
• Install high powered laser to roof of salesforce that sweeps the bay
• clone elon musk

I have plenty more where that came from. Money please, m4s a8n

There’s fuck around and find out, and then there’s fuck around, find out, and learn nothing.
