I saw an ad for a local gin festival generated with veo3 and now I’ve sworn off gin

They targeted game studios. Game studios.

I guess now that USAID is being defunded and the government has turned off their anti-russia/china propaganda machine, private industry is taking over the US hegemony psyop game. Efficient!!!

/s /s /s I hate it all

no no, please, do not modify your stellar moderation policy. It’s fine. There’s no need to platform idiocy for the sake of sneers (says the guy that quoted the deleted comment in full)

also not interesting enough to make fun of

Oof, I’m out here catching strays from @self

Thanks, I have now skimmed the paper. It reads like someone trying to convert a libertarian to communism via facts and logic, which is good, though that would specifically target libertarians with strong academic foundations to their thinking. I doubt enough capitalists/libertarians are willing to reach that conclusion, even if a path is laid out in detail as it is in the paper. Why tear down a perfectly good (at least in the near term) power structure that benefits them in the name of facts and logic, when they could just continue to benefit?

All that aside, I gotta admit I was initially a little skeptical of the paper’s direct relevance to sneerclub. It’s worth mentioning that this paper talks a lot about perverse libertarian case studies like charter cities and voluntary slavery, which are definitely in our sneer purview. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah also people that like AI are already willing to overlook its ethical issues, which parlays into obliviousness about why it’s all so fucking creepy. Again, musk.

Extra context: it’s only for a beat, then it reverts to the correct username. The theme also went from light to dark (my selected theme). Sorry to dox your background theme, autumnal!

I’ll allow it! But obviously the solution is to water cool the hot water being dumped into rivers.

Ah fuck as a xoogler I do this. Everything I do is terrible (see my advent of code snippets) and I frequently refer to things that existed in the google ecosystem.

Aw dawg, that’s on me for supposing for a moment that his story had truth to it. I did think it strange that this rich dude’s mum had to go to the ER for something, but decided to apply good faith.

So now it’s even more cynical. Scott, who now lives a life of convenience, doesn’t have any of his own stories to parlay into AI hype, so he has to wear someone else’s suffering as stolen valor.
