the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 10hDo you think it's just like an extra ration of holodeck tokens maybe 220
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 10hLike "brain please give me a petty reason to confidently disregard anything they've ever said?" 110
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 10hYou ever think about how we're surely in the last days of referencing a 2008 DMX interview being a culturally salient joke 020
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 11hgod I must not have had my adderall today I am fuckin SCATTERED dogg 000
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 11hgoogle translate informs me that's "Limburgish" stop that bullshit that ain't your language your mama ain't teach you no damn "Limburgish" 170
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 11hI'm going to be bad 322508 that's my one-time code now I'm going to eat silica gel and step on cracks in the sidewalk 280
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 11h(and no offense about the RTs. It's just if I follow all my pals who do lots of RTs I would actually never see said pals because the amount of RTs that is manageable when reading them in isolation will become unmanageable when it's like 50 more people doing it) 010
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 11hbtw thank you for stepping in because I forget everyone's names and only know most people by an icon, so I was never able to summon you to mind when I was starting the work of "these are the people I want to finally follow back now that I can turn off RTs" 110
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 11hI feel like if we're all speaking vaguely overlapping ciphers at each other, Justin's and mine right now are extremely overlapped.... except his is somehow missing the word "not" or something, and it has absolutely flipped any hope of communicating on its head 000
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hAnd because it's not leaving any time soon, talking about LLMs without capitalism or police without capitalism is idle speculation. As long as capitalism is there, these are poisonous tools of the oppressor, and attacking them is fair game. 200
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hAnd that scenario is so far from the reality that we have to live in here and now, that I don't think it's worth thinking about. The reality we live in is the poisonous influence of capitalism is there and it's not leaving any time soon. 100
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hWhen you say "I don’t think the real problem is AI, but capitalism," I agree. But my criticism is I don't think this is particularly helpful, because it implies there's some scenario where we have this technology but not the poisonous influence of capitalism. 100
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hI'm going to make one last attempt to address the confusion here because this conversation is driving me insane. 100
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hThere is some absolutely impossible impasse going on here, because I've been saying this entire time that capitalism being the problem doesn't save the institution of the police or the technology of LLMs. And you've been saying the same thing while somehow reading it as a disagreement. 200
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hand now I feel like "okay, maybe I've been a babbling incoherent for decades and there truly was a grand conspiracy of silence. maybe that's more plausible. maybe every class I had was secretly remedial." 020
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hI feel similar. Like I would sometimes wonder if, as a kid, people kept any amount of embarrassments about me secret from me -- goofy paranoiac shit where you have to go "okay look, that would require a grand conspiracy of silence, come on" 110
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hand yes, I understand that if you weren't seeing the posts that have been the trigger for all this, this entire rant is itself absolutely impenetrable. but I'm not gonna give context because it's not truly about one guy, but about how a zillion people do the same thing he does 020
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hand do you know how insane it is to experience that while having an autism diagnosis buddy, *I* am supposed to be the one who can't assemble meaning from a complex web of referents that's *my* job 320
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hno joke I kind of feel like I'm losing my mind at having spent my life being understood, making a career of writing and communication and rhetoric, and then going to bluesky where every concept is interpreted as wholly non sequitur 240
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hOkay you've restated exactly what I've been saying three times now. I can't help you, because whatever you're arguing against isn't here. 100
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hI mean I guess in some sense this is literally true, in that there is no universal consensus semantics. But surely there's some minimum base level of overlap we need to have so we're not just running around in circles in the wreckage of Babel, and maybe we're not there. 170
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hI AM GROWING MORE AND MORE CONVINCED THAT ALL MEANING IS ACTUALLY FAKE AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF BABBLING VAGUELY OVERLAPPING CIPHERS AT EACH OTHER THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS THE KEY TO 2150
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hNeither one should be excused just because it's capitalism that made it bad. Because that involves leaving something wildly destructive intact while we wait for some imperceptibly distant revolution. 110
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 12hThat's what I'm saying. Thus "Defund the Police." My point is acting like AI isn't the problem is the same kind of logic. It's not inherently evil, but as implemented and under the control of capitalists, it's bad. And that's the reality we actually have to deal with. 110
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 13hI mean, I get that. That's what I mean when I say I'm not against the abstract idea of police. 110
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 15hThe abstract idea of police also doesn't bother me, but the reality on the ground is so bad that I think Defund the Police is infinitely more sensible than waiting for capital T capital R The Revolution. 120
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 15hSure, but until we can implement communism with a snap of the fingers, resisting capitalism requires pulling on the levers available to us. There's nothing wrong with machine looms, either, but destroying those was the only leverage a lot of people in early Industrial England had. 330

the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 19hI had one on purpose because I am a hog who needs new hog slop It was a mistake 010
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 19hAt first I'm like "maybe they just remember how bad Berlusconi was" but no! Clearly not! They voted for Meloni! 040

the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 20hReally drives home the whole "Americans have incoherent beliefs" thing They're not free of ideology, but it's just kind of an ambient miasma of mixed up things they're as unaware of as a fish is of water 020
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 20hIf he's gay, he's a normal kid in a kind of tragic situation. If he's straight, his brain is an insane tangle of psychosexual fuckery and probably belongs on a watch list 010
the bizzler @bizzo.bsky.social · 20hI don't believe in laughing at someone for being gay or implying that all conservatives are closeted gay men, but also this is honestly worse if he's hetero. At least dreaming of a hot guy is normal. Any other reason must be surely insane. 250
