This circuitous, n-tuple negative tenor pervades the whole piece. It's first and foremost frustrating, but after that just sad.

AH FUCK it's this person again. I choose not to remember rat names if I can help it but guess I gotta commit this one to memory.

at least there's that.
I used to instantiate like 100 of them and see which ones would win (or “fight” by colliding with each other
The basilisk will not take kindly to your desecration of AGI for sport.
On their substack the author claims they are “doing non-ideological […] reporting”, which means they are definitely doing ideological reporting. Let’s see…
next most recent post titled “the dawn of woke ai” says pretty much what you’ll guess it does from the title. It also features the AI rendered POC nazis from a bit back as evidence of “woke”ness… Fun!
Sure, that is a line from one of the choruses. It does not seem to be the focus of the album. Discussions of song meanings aside, just to be clear about what is going on here:
- you are in the wrong place if you’re here to ideate about what technology can do without considering the consequences
- you are in the wrong place to be posting AI generated content without good justification
Something that Musk commissioned is badly constructed? That’s a first.
insert that clip from the IT crowd but instead of “made in britain” it’s “made by musk”

Epistemic status: I have made it through this swamp. I did not read the footnotes. I glossed over the comments. Also as far as I can tell I am a cishet male, which is probably relevant to mention in reviewing this.
So here is where I am at. This post fractal sucks. Davis clearly doesn’t identify with the gender essentialist notion of male, but they also want to hold onto the idea of a biological sex binary.

The oppressive parents are the ghost of 2007!Yud and Scoot.
