Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 05/10/2026sometimes it really feels like they want you, personally, in a bluesky thread, to solve every heretofore intractable problem of consciousness, personhood, morality in an academically rigorous manner before they'll make an actual argument. 160
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 02/10/2026no one wants to pin themselves down to "yes, pieces of paper can feel pain" but they really want you to be wrong too, so there's just circles and circles of rhetoric to say nothing. 160
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Socrates managed to bag Alcibiades, the hottest dude in Athens, and basically drove him insane because he was like "love is, uh, shapes" when Alcibiades just wanted to FUCK. 1493
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 28/09/2026no one talks about this movie the way they talk about rise of skywalker, and i guess it's not as funny-bad as that movie, but holy shit it sucked so much 2140

Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 23/09/2026the thing that always bothered me about this is that it implies she's like hocking up a loogie. like she's trying to get boogers on my dick. surely it would just be "tuah" 091
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 19/09/2026the problem in the current moment is people unconsciously training themselves to write like AI's, which i'm kinda starting to see already 290

Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 16/09/2026the word "boycott" comes from the Irish, when they socially ostracized an actual guy named Lord Boycott who evicted people from their land during a bad harvest year. how did i never know this until today? that fucking rocks 010
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 15/09/2026that makes sense, because sound travels quite slowly, so it probably hit you just now 0150
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 14/09/2026all of the car dealership discourse has got me thinking that a lot of people have not bought a car in awhile. or are just, like, bad at it. dealers will sell you a car online now. they will drop it off at your house. you don't ever have to interact with them. it's fine. 000
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 12/09/2026when i worked at a movie theater, we used to put hotdogs that were still on the roller at the end of the day into a plastic tub, then put that tub in the fridge so we could put the dogs back on the roller when we opened the next day. i don't know who was keeping track of the age of the weiners. 010
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 11/09/2026my mom asked me about it! it's getting a lot of coverage in the mainstream. 020

Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 10/09/2026it's starting to seem like "me? do a cybercrime? no no no, it was my AI agent!" will just be a valid defense going forward if no one steps in. wild west computer land out here. 000
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 10/09/2026i guess if this "ai is going to kill us all" thing is enough to get people in charge to actually regulate it, fine??? cool. it's fake, but ends, means, and all that. 000
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 08/09/2026when one of these guys starts actually doing something about it that could risk their career, i'll believe it 100
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 08/09/2026i want to only win, and never lose. and if this doesn't happen, i will still buy the game. i will always buy the game. but i'll get really mad while i play it. 0311
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 07/09/2026the park where i live has a big pickle ball court, and it does not matter what time of day you drive by it: there will be a large group of people playing pickle ball. do they ever stop? 000
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 07/09/2026just tell her you're nubbing it. you're nubbing it real good 190
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Oh, I get where you're coming from now. I was definitely thinking about the phenomenological experience of "playing", and whether this Portal example represents something we shouldn't expect a computer to be able to do, more than anything else lol 100
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 07/09/2026oh, i definitely think this is an entirely different category of "playing", if it can be defined as playing at all, so i don't know if we're that far apart. i'm more thinking that if i imagine how a computer would accomplish any task, it would be through discreet instructions rather than intuition. 100
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 07/09/2026it is pretty much precisely how one would expect a computer to play a videogame, to me. every action broken down to the most granular and literal level, given in discreet screenshots of time rather than experienced all at once. it's essentially making an extremely detailed walkthrough. 111
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 07/09/2026he actually has great reaction speed, but the timing will sound different sometimes because sound travels slower than light. so the guy is just really far away when there's a big gap between the lightning and the thunder. 000

Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 03/09/2026"I want to make it so people can't lie about their AI usage to the public", Spero sneered weaselly. "I don't think lying is good." But his greasy countenance and uncouth grooming habits belied a certain suspiciousness. 1564
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 02/09/2026it kinda looks like they're using the exact same sets, but lighting them worse. and they replaced john williams' soundtrack with a bunch of nothing. even for the fans, what is this giving them? 030
Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 02/09/2026man, ti west. i loved house of the devil and the innkeepers way back when. i was like, "can't wait to see what this guy makes in the future". anyway, 000

Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 30/08/2026what I found so immediately interesting about him is that he goes rotten, like, INSTANTLY. it actually makes the part where he reverts to his pre-deathnote self and is just a goody-two-shoes a little unconvincing. like, this kid was always psycho, come on. he'd be Kira supporter #1. 1281

Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 25/08/2026FF16 sold about 7 times fewer copies than Baldur's Gate 3, if estimations are correct. It's so funny that people keep acting like it's not a boomer series for old people at this point. 140

Eclectic Wise Good Friend @romloops.bsky.social · 22/08/2026i think a lot of people still don't view films as, like, *actually* art. because if someone were to look at a list of great paintings and say "pssh, it's just all old stuff", that'd be a pretty rightly viewed as a weird opinion to hold! 200
