The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 15hhumans are pattern matching machines. imagine you lived your whole life matching the same pattern and then suddenly at 80 years old it stopped working, youd be confused and angry too 000
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 09/10/2026yea this is definitely my read on most of these guys. For another subset of these guys they just think the technology is cool and makes them feel smart, so they try to think up ways to defend it because they just like it 000

The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The hate is also partially because of the many crimes they keep committing with their bots. People don’t like it when crimes get committed against them and the people in power say “what can you do? It wasn’t a human that did it” 0190

The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Many people don’t really think beyond the immediate. The ends are not “get this one criminal” the ends are a lot of things, including a very important end: restraining cops to force them to respect your constitutional rights. People think their rights will be safe because they don’t do “bad crimes” 060

The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sometimes I think about the time during the Biden admin and how every power broker basically thought trump was donezo so ignored him completely and how badly he must have wanted to end it during that time when he felt like he was a nobody. This, I think, was the main motivator for his revenge now 010
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My wife and I have this bit we do in our bathroom because for whatever reason the previous owners put in a few wall covering mirrors, causing several reflection lines of sight so when we’re having a convo we change where we look and the other finds which reflection to talk back to 000
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I suspect they're just in it for the love of the game. Maximize as much death and suffering as possible. This is the LAPD we're talking about after all 010

The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If trump actually gets removed one way or the other I envision the entire party attempting to just pretend he didn’t happen. They’ll lose and there will be a loud minority of trump boosters that mostly lose but win a few seats. But I think almost all R voters will just go along with the charade 120
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This makes me think of in anime or tv shows when they have a master artist or something and they need to reveal the masterpiece that blows everyone’s minds and it’s like “let’s see what the animators came up with for the supposed masterpiece”. It’s usually some kind of abstract water color 020
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 06/10/2026this whole thing is because LLM output is human readable text. Nobody would be making these arguments if the outputs were vectors containing the possible tokens for each chunk. They could easily tweak the output to show the vectors instead of the chosen token, which would break the illusion 010
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 06/10/2026it's just the same vein as "ai will kill us all", just a thing for the boosters to say and create discussion to keep the party going. Also humans are extremely pervasive anthropomorphizers, so many people fell for ELIZA back in the day, and those people weren't even brainrotted from the internet yet 010
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Certain establishment dems are already trying to lay the “we must move forward” line for when ‘everything goes back to normal’ 010
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 05/10/2026As ephemeral as “the good internet” (of course depends on who you ask, for the old heads that’s bbs and modems, for slightly less old heads that’s Web 2.0) 110
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 05/10/20262016 was legitimately that meme "got bored and did [insert terrible thing]" I saw so many people saying back then "he'll shake things up" and I get they've spent the last however many years watching a slow decline of living standards due to neoliberalism and regulatory capture but like, cmon man 010
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 05/10/2026this is true for the dealership as a whole but I wouldn't expect service to be a motivator for an individual salesperson on the floor, (correct me if I'm mistaken) but their bonus/commission is based on the sale price of the car+APR, not future services (but service writers do get commission) 010
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 05/10/2026How recently was this? Right now my understanding is that dealerships are so far behind selling cars right now they’ll do anything to just move units 200

The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I want to say something about this but hey I guess that's better than what a lot of jackasses do and just take 2 spots up (in the front, if they go way to the back and double park that's fine imo) 050
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 29/09/2026my theory is a lot of the "this song is fake" comes from bewilderment rather than standard "new things are bad". I think folks are expecting THE #1 song in the country to be utterly inescapable. The corpo store playlist curation point you made is my best guess as to why that isn't the case 010
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That's a good thread you posted. I resonate a lot with it. I had not heard this song. Frequent radio listener in the greater Philly area (WXPN is my go to station so definitely not country focused), I go out to eat more, I actively seek out new music. 121

The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 27/09/2026To add my data point, I have not heard the song before this, and I go out a normal amount. Stores around me simply must not have been playing it or at least not constantly enough for it to register to me. 000
The Cat in the High Chair @overkoalafried.bsky.social · 27/09/2026it's basically a bribe if you think about it. These socialists have nothing to offer people so they just "do things that improve the quality of life for the taxpayers" what a scam 030
