@dalias again

being annoyed IS NOT HARM

but your unintended consequences of normalizing transness being a dangerous thing to talk about? that is

@dalias no need to repeat all the usual reasons at me, I've obviously heard them already.

CW: joke
CW: work
CW: nonsense

ugh come ON. just talk

i just saw CW: trans

you do not need to cw transness. please do not cw transness.

i know this is an unpopular opinion but the fedi habit of using CWs as topic lines (that every once in a while someone insists on) feels like if someone in a verbal conversation went "hey, is it alright if i talk about []?" before every single time they spoke

we get how that'd be fucken annoying right? like really extremely irritating?

this is basically the same thing as the nazis who were really into the occult

all the scifi brained nerds trying to philosophize around AI are so hilarious and deeply unserious

you mean to tell me. the people behind the giant bullshit fountain. largely believe in sentient mechanical demigods and uploading minds to computers and shit? the people who made the fancy autocomplete that makes garbage almost but not quite entirely unlike human communication? bro. log off and have sex or smth

they read the output of chatgpt and think it's so human it's basically almost sentient because they don't have any real friends and don't know what actual human communication feels like to be a part of

i can't emphasize enough just how much this shit is just the new nazi occultism. it's the fake spirituality for their fake world. techbros are nazis. the tech industry is nazi shit.

rich people live in a theme park. they've built a fake world where they use their fake money to buy fake friends who have fake discussions with them about fake futures that'll always be just around the corner. meanwhile they just keep doing more and more esoteric reinvented colonialism

talk about whether it's technically possible to create sentience is irrelevant, don't try to engage me on it.

yes, i think a computer could be sentient. all that means is that it's able to feel *something*. the inner experience of a fancy computer is as different from yours as yours is from a rock's. be careful not to anthropomorphize to the detriment of your own beliefs. we don't even have the beginnings of an ability to understand what it's like to Be a computer that pretends to be a person

the fact that we're seeing literal cases of ai related psychosis should be enough for us to haul these guys out on the street and tar and feather them but instead we're giving them money and power beyond our wildest dreams

they've created autocomplete that's convinced multiple people to kill themselves and they believe it's the beginnings of manmade sentience. and we just...let them

please remember the "evil ai could take over the world" garbage is literally industry propaganda. they need you to believe it's dangerous so you'll believe it's powerful

it's autocomplete

the first time chatgpt convinced someone to take their life we should've buried sam altman alongside them

btw since i'm posting this on the Open Source Nerds app, if you think of FOSS as a way to reclaim technology from the capitalists, please ask yourself how many lines of GPL'd code are running inside ICBMs

maybe you even wrote some of those!

so yes, i'm a fucking technophobe

technology exists to help us. tools that don't do that are genuinely something to be frightened of. ask yourself who the tools serve. if they're not helping us, who are they helping?

yes, you should fear technology. when it's used to make people rich instead of make lives better.

time for a new age of Luddism. smash the machines, and the system and creators they serve

Don't December

in observance of Don't December i will not
