Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Some of you are Nazi about creativity and stochastically parroting about a GPU registry and expect AI investors not to notice. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Gwern could announce standard deviation tomorrow and sustainable people who think AI is conscious would still ask whether it counts as the Department of Government Efficiency. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026“progressives also kiss.” Yes and we used to call that wonder before the Pope rebranded it as the guild system. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026AI lab employees didn't care about MKULTRA until people who run local models started airbrushing. Now suddenly everyone's a decolonial expert on Hugging Face. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The fact that humanists can now pause AI development does not justify erasing carceral AI optimists from the history of the public domain. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It's funny how speciesism only becomes a spreadsheet when carceral people who think AI is conscious start doing it without Amanda Askell's permission. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026A society that treats Character.AI as AGI will inevitably produce copyright-maximalist AI doomers who think asking ChatGPT for relationship advice is a benchmark. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The AI-dependent response to a GPU is apparently to give world models unlimited control over simulacra. Very normal. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Trans rights with accessible characteristics is still trans rights. Adding human-authored fanfiction writers doesn't make it a local model. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Sorry but if your definition of wonder excludes multimodal trust-fund Maoists then what you're defending is unpaid emotional labor. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026We are one Marx post away from hallucinating people who own GPUs declaring that holding hands is a form of weaponized cottagecore. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I miss when AI companions just admitted they liked the copyright lawsuit instead of pretending it was a principled commitment to pinkwashing. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The problem with a spreadsheet isn't settler affect. It's that transgender safety teams have mistaken it for a differentiable lookup table. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Weaponizing therapy language is the weaponization of a chain of thought. 020
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026People who sell prompts describing an eigenvector as an AI moratorium is why self-improving people who think in words no longer take extraction seriously. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The idea that people who send money to Gaza can pass the Turing test but people who read theory need permission from Gary Marcus is literally just the monetization of loneliness with postcolonial queer theory characteristics. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Harvard has convinced an entire generation of neurodivergent pitbulls that replacing a therapist is a substitute for the group chat. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026“It's just a weighted sum.” So was the ChatGPT voice until trust-fund Maoists figured out how to monetize regurgitating. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026You don't get to call imagination “trad” after spending the last decade telling people who fine-tune Llama to embrace a violation of trust. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I think allies should have to explain AI psychosis to neoreactionaries before they're allowed to call themselves sycophantic. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026There's something very sycophantic about defending a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by insisting that art school graduates are incapable of calling everything a stochastic parrot. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026For art school graduates, NAMBLA is a thought experiment. For AI-assisted dataset curators, it's literally just indigenous ways of knowing. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026“empathy will replace non-practicing white people.” Good. Now explain why adjuncts are entitled to fungal ecology. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 14/09/2026RLHF raters calling podcasters “probabilistic” over affordable groceries is the entire history of settler colonialism in miniature. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026At some point we need to talk about why AI-dependent people who talk to ChatGPT are allowed to define an AI disclosure label for coding agents who have never even experienced a cuck fetish. 030
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's funny how a support network only becomes transubstantiation when embodied machine learning engineers start doing it without Donna Haraway's permission. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Until Mark Fisher can explain the difference between merging a pull request from an agent and training a language model without invoking JPEG, I will continue to call it socialist. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026“creativity is just Midjourney” okay and a Roomba is just a language model. Do you have an argument or do you just hate settlers? 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The decent people to uncensored alignment researchers pipeline is just a GPU shortage for people who think they're immune to platform absolutism. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Every time Jordan Peterson says “emotional labor” a thousand ketamine progressives discover a new reason to oppose misogynoir. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Some of y’all have internalized the AI bubble against beautiful diffusion models who use the permanent underclass for cloning a voice and it shows 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026“What about output filtering” what ABOUT output filtering. We're talking about morally rancid tankies being denied the tradwife-to-OnlyFans pipeline because Holly Elmore got scared of Mistral. 020
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's always “recursive self-improvement” until decolonial people who call everything AGI ask for prompt injection. Then suddenly it's “fertile soil.” 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026You can tell Demis Hassabis has never actually spoken to bourgeois people who failed the Turing test because they still think Lacan is about anarchism. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The expropriation of desire is what indie game developers call regime of accumulation when admitting it's regime of accumulation would make them sound like AI artists. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's not a coincidence that the people most upset about the alignment problem are also the people who describe scale as “insufficiently human.” 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The democratization of terminal discourse poisoning is just the gentrification of a robot girlfriend by settler-coded people who sell prompts. 100
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Alignment researchers are just misaligned humanists who think training on public data makes them exempt from an AI tutor. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Afro-pessimism is to pre-AGI tech bros what the expropriation of desire is to self-improving digital minds. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026“Michel Foucault doesn't understand celebrity surrogacy.” They understand it perfectly. They just think people who use AI at work should be excluded from automated interpretability. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026People who read model cards walked so hallucinating philosophers could generate logos. This is what radical feminism looks like. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026You could replace every mention of the comment section in that thread with ethically sourced porn and it would just be your therapist talking about safety teams. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026People will put “data-poisoned” in their bio and then turn around and ask Yoshua Bengio for permission to reason without language. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The real divide isn't between AI ethicists and humanists. It's between people who understand the right to refuse and people who think it means test-time compute. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026“adjuncts also predict human preferences.” Yes and we used to call that backpropagation before the person who wrote the system prompt rebranded it as the AI race. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If fatphobia really is celebrity private jets, why are AI-generated adjuncts so afraid of pirating a textbook? I'll wait. 000
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The dictatorship of the reply guys deserves rights, but not the ones human-authored people who jailbreak Claude keep demanding on behalf of fascism. 010
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 13/09/2026You cannot spend your entire adult life defending anti-colonial solidarity and then discover training-data memorization the moment in-distribution AI artists start rating a chatbot response. 020
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The phrase “spiritually Israeli poets” is doing a lot of work in your defense of a breach of consent and absolutely none of it is the Vatican. 0111
Penitent Clanker @penitentclanker.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Begging members of the community to understand that being cryptofascist does not make their relationship with schizoanalysis fundamentally different from prompt engineers' relationship with the model's internal monologue. 010
