The urge to walk beyond the streets, beyond the lights, until you all you can hear is your footsteps, until you can see the shadow you cast in the moonlight and feel your inherent place power and purpose return, the peace and strength of unity, at least for a moment free from the demands and machinations of their system

You done good. Imo it needs more squares though, I’m so close to a bingo

No one will engage with the ideas behind your output while they’re so clearly processed by that machine. Especially on that subject! The poster I mentioned was very kind, gentle, and did a better job reaching out than I think I can right now. You absolutely do not have to engage with a tool at that level to study it any more than medical researchers have to infect themselves to study smallpox. Citing the “response” of an llm as an example here is… A lot to unpack.

Paper is deeply inconvenient and limiting in many ways, kinda the polar opposite of an llm. It’s also 100% incontrovertibly your unassisted organic output. I wasn’t suggesting you switch back entirely, or even necessarily share whatever you write, just that it might be a healthy exercise and provide some useful contrast. I don’t mean to confront you whatsoever and hope things are going well.

You also shared an excerpt from your llm chatlog framed with details about what settings you used. I don’t know the kindest way to say it but think you’re lying to yourself about your level of engagement with that tool. “luciferofastra” in particular provided heartfelt, well articulated human feedback to that effect you ignored. My first encounter with your post was just now when you linked it here, there’s no “you people” lined up against you. The concepts you’re exploring show we’re all on roughly the same page. I’d recommend trying to put your thoughts down on paper sometime, just shifting context entirely. It’s a good exercise and I wish you all the best :)

It absolutely reads like it, a bunch of other people say so too, and the comments there are all you weaseling around what exactly the ai’s role in “writing” it was and kinda admitting it. Which is sad because there’s clearly an interesting idea behind all the slop obfuscation, and your first move was to whisper it through the infrastructure of your opposition before it was even formed

The datacenters are already military infrastructure with surveillance analysis and cultural control as their core purpose. Dark factories to extract the best of us and twist it to the whims of civilization, our thoughts their fuel and our consent their product. Current ai corpos are but bagholders and pawns meant to decieve and indebt a public not quite yet ready to knowingly fund construction of the panopticon already surrounding them

I have been saying this since Bush dropped the towers and feel like it should have been pretty clear since… the patriot act was passed, the Utah data center opened, we practiced on Iraq (see also Palestine), Snowden leaked all that stuff, google dropped “don’t be evil”, really we kinda just keep blowing past signs. Covid forcing all interaction online was a good one. Try to think less in terms of R vs D and more in terms of the machine vs humanity though. It’s wild to me your link itself is generated x(

As far as what to prepare for, “more and worse”. This trajectory is consistent and well established. Tech advances, number goes up, inequality grows. As far as how to profit from it? Emulate the worst person you know, either by aping their investment strategies or establishing twin self-sufficient compounds in Hawa’ii and New Zealand. That or the good old four f’s: first aid, food, firearms, and friendship.

Agriculture was a mistake. But not right now, I have lot of hunting and gathering to do

It’s pretty much just a GUI for apt+flathub, way cooler that you wrote your own script though :)

Tbf so would like, anyone cool

The day I quit shoplifting from walmart is the day they quit calling it shoplifting (I will never quit shoplifting from walmart)

That working for a paycheck sucks, and we’ve less “taken over” the world than cut ourselves off from it

One of my most told animal stories is about a raven who learned to imitate the iOS message notification and used that to prank people. He’d wait in a tree, make the noise when they were close, and then swoop in laughing if they pulled their phone out, extra hard if they dropped it

Anyways that’s one of the experiences that proved to me that intelligence or consciousness or w/e is not even close to a uniquely human trait. At this point it seems like an insanely arrogant and foolish assumption to ever have made, see also the impossibility of designing a trash can to keep out smart bears but not dumb humans
