The only people the media *ever* talks to about AI are people who have come in a fluffer at an orgy organized by a Harry Potter fanfic sex cult which received early funding from Jeff Epstein.

Fear. Trembling. Faith. Despair. We continue reading the mopiest philosopher of the 19th century and ask ourselves what is the point over and over. Reading and pondering live at www.twitch.tv/El_Samio

Three panels of Soren Kierkegaard languishing in a dramatic fashion while saying "Despair. Despair! Despaaaaaaaaaair!" (It's even funnier if you read it like a Metal Gear Solid Game Over).

The source of the panels is: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/371

Autism pro-tip: Yes, you need to learn "social skills", but most normal people who fit in society spontaneously DO NOT HAVE SOCIAL SKILLS EITHER. Learning social skills is a long and and laborious task that does not reduce to "imitating normal people". It involves theory and emotional practice.

A photograph of bsky user samio, giving a presentation in some academic room. I'm leaning slightly, fiddling with a laptop. There is a screen projection to the right of the image, it is the intro to Hideo Kojima's Snatcher. The text says "This story is dedicated to all those cyberpunks who fight against injustice and corruption every day of their lives."

So here's the 9 foundational Samio games. A couple of all time classics, some more obscure stuff, but it's the mixture of these components that have shaped my garish 80s cyberpunk brawler high concept ass. I'll explain:

A 3x3 list of "My 9 Games: The 9 Games That Shaped Who I Am"

The games are: Planescape: Torment, Final Fight, Shin Megami Tensei, Super Mario Bros. 3, Baldur's Gate II, Street Fighter II, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (A game by Bryan Reynolds), Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and Disco Elysium.

Hello Gamers who wish to stimulate their minds. Today I play Blasphemous 1 New Game+. I think there's a good chance we finish this today. The best fights and music of the game are looming. Join me at www.twitch.tv/el_samio for some Educational Pro Gaming.

A promo collage for my playthrough of Blasphemous 1 and 2.

The background comes from the Blasphemous 1 Wounds of Eventide DLC. In it, we see El Penitente sit on a gentle boat, sword to the side, using a rosary to pray. The colores are muted and covered in a blue hue.

If we let the current crop of "AI" people stay in charge, we are not gonna make it; not because of "superintelligent AI," but because of what the MIT study terms "cognitive surrender": offloading and deterioration of critical skills. And it increasingly feels like that's exactly what they want.

I find it deeply embarrassing to say this, but a common countercultural phrase from when I was a teenager was "The rich want to keep you stupid so you're easier to manipulate" and I found it quite trite. I thought it was an empty platitude to flatter yourself for being against normal culture...

I think this is great! Calling machine learning algorithms "Artificial Intelligence" was a tremendous marketing coup and now JDPON DON is going to disrupt this and make it sound even sillier. While I disagree with both "SI" is actually less of a lie, since it does not hide the human workers behind.

The game that turned me into a capital G Gamer was Super Mario Bros 3 for the NES. I was barely six and that's the game that made me understand videogames as failure-friendly predictable spaces. The other "origin" game is Planescape: Torment, who fucked me up so bad I ended up studying philosophy.

Hey streamers and chatters, I got a question about Net Etiquette (Netiquette) Is it considered rude or mean if you tell a streamer they have audio or mic issues? Because when I stream I value people telling me if something on my end is fucked. But I'd like more perspectives.

Superbosses, sequence breaking, platforming challenges for mysterious women with tattooed thighs. Maybe even a revolt against dark and inscrutable metaphysical forces that twist the life of mortals to suit their jealous whims. Join me as we clear New Game+1 in Blasphemous 1: www.twitch.tv/el_samio

A promo collage for my playthrough of Blasphemous 1 and 2.

The background comes from the Blasphemous 1 art book, in which we see The Penitent One approach Deogracias. Deogracias is a gigantic human, bound in thick, coarse rope, wearing a green sambenito/capirote. His face is covered with a rope mask, in the style of medieval beekeepers. Deogracias is holding a scroll with a portrait of a figure looking upwards to the heavens in anguish.

Hello nerds who in their despair have embraced irony and melancholy. In my never-ending reading backlog tuesdays, we're going to start reading and criticizing Soren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. We're going to face head on the problem of faith in modernity, live at www.twitch.tv/el_samio

A panel from "Action Philosophers!" Issue 6, page 29. In it we see a tiny, child-like, cartoon Jean Paul Sartre holding a lollipop and pointing to an equally cartoony Kierkegaard. Sartre asks "Are YOU my daddy?" which was a thing people could say innocently 20 years ago.

The other text panels say: "Kierkegaard's works were rediscovered by academia in the 1960's, when existentialism was all the rage. Because he's morbid and talks about choices a lot, many regard Kierkegaard as "The father of existentialism"..."

"But that seems tough to reconcile with his fundamentally Religious thinking:"

I'm gonna promote the fuck out of this because I spent too much time and effort editing these videos. If you wanna see a bunch of nerds read and discuss 100 pages of marxist philosophy and got around 18 spare hours of your life, golly do I have Content for you. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

A youtube playlist showing five videos. They are a live reading of The German Ideology by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The subtitles of the videos are "Introduction, Production and Intercourse, Recap and Materialism, The Ruling Class and Ruling Ideas, The End".

Ethics is hugely important to me—for decision-making and critically analyzing situations in the past, present or future—but when people treat it as a way to sort humans into Good and Evil batches to justify mistreating the latter, that’s when I lose interest and my moralization radar activates.

Most output in philosophy is done through papers and books. Most research fellows publish 8-12 page papers on their research, or compile that into a short book. Only a handful ever get read by a select group of specialist peers. I never wanted to end up there. Part of that is why I'm streaming.
