Hi hi please explain my boner

Aw man, Natasha Lyonne is going AI. Notably she is partnering with a company, Moonvalley, that claims to have developed an “ethical” model, Marey, trained on “clean” data- i.e. data that is owned or licensed by Moonvalley and whoever else they are partnering with.

Jesus, what a fuck. Having spent time in both SF and NYC my guess is that this shithead's SF pedestrian experience is getting in and out of ubers and the treadmills at equinox. That, and he is probably outwardly disdainful, which doesn't go over well in NYC.

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

We’re anti-grass lawns now? Fuck yes. I knew this place had potential.

I’m no landscaper so don’t quiz me on the options, but grass is in the lowest tier option for things to fill outdoor space with.

Apologies for the screed:

Quick recap:

2016-2020: executive orders every day, non-elected positions being captured by conservatives, dems just hand-wringing and tweeting. but Dems get lucky with a pandemic and trump loses

2021-2024: weekend at biden’s.

Where was the election reform? The dismantling or reform of the electoral colleges? The extra seats on the SC? Bribing the public with stimulus packages to boost the economy?

Remember when we pushed Biden left? Remember when the dems preserved abortion rights, prevented the invasion of ukraine, and stopped bankrolling Israel’s genocide?

“exercise your democratic rights and voice by voting for our candidate that wasn’t democratically chosen as our candidate”. “vote blue and do not voice any critical thought”. “any vote that isn’t for the party that didn’t meaningfully reverse or prevent conservative actions is a vote for trump”.

In sum: the bad guys didn’t do anything new.

The closest we got to a trump loss was some republican spook who went to a trump rally with a gun because it was closer than the harris rally.

I don’t get it. Is this a spartacus situation or a stolen valour situation? Just claiming satoshi-nature isn’t enough to acquire satoshi’s-wallet-nature.

I'm feeling a weird mix of emotions about this. It's not the cash grab by ol' salty dog; capitalism is doing its thing. I'm both elated that these idiot liberals feel betrayed by this turn of events and enraged that these liberal idiots exist to launder the reputation of techbros in the first place.

Oh that’s accelerationist drivel if I’ve ever seen it.

Also, this has been bouncing around in my head ever since I’d learned of the term: “e/acc? More like, “Eek! Ack!”

IQ might be discredited, “g” is valid.

It also has "MBTI is pseudoscience, you should take this online Big 5 quiz instead" energy

Y'all have nailed how I felt reading this. You have this fellow who has constructed a cognitive process to self-harm at every juncture. Whenever there is an opportunity to believe in something that could bring them joy or closure etc., they head in the opposite direction because of some tenet they think is "correct" or "obvious" even though said tenet usually has a paper-thin justification. Davis is haunted by an Imp of the perverse; that imp is named Yudkowsky.
