violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12hI want her to win not only for the obvious reason but also because I want at least four years of these jokes 010
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 15hthis is basically anthropic's goal except they think they can avoid the leopards eating their face as well 010
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 15hI have NH-GOV as a potential sleeper flip because of this dynamic 050
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 17hI would like it very much if the Democrats gained ruthless electoral efficiency 170
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I agree, and I think AI is forcing us to think harder about these things, which I hope will be good for us in the long run. 010
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Whereas with things like art, audio, voice, etc., those are the things that really matter and what make us actually thinking, feeling, creative humans, and outsourcing that to a machine that does that has none of the human experience is dehumanizing, uncanny, and gross. 120
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026To me, code is closer to art supplies than it is to the finished art. It is the cost of doing the thing that lets us express our creativity and individuality. Not everyone agrees, and many see the code as part of the art itself, but I see code as more of a cost, not the end goal. 220
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I see it as art versus art supplies. When a person paints a picture, most of what they use is mass-produced and machine-made, like the paints, the brushes, the easel, the paper, the chair that they sit on, etc. And we're okay with that because we see those materials as the means, not the art itself. 130
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026metrics should be retired the moment they are identified. pack it up, folks. quantify it some other way 130
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026(I feel compelled to mention that I absolutely reject the idea that these things are in any way aware or alive) 000
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I have always hated the phrase "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". no they don't. they require evidence at the same standard of all our other evidence and to say that they require an even higher standard of evidence is to bake your biases into the process 100
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Damn, these people get worse every time I hear something new about them. 060
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 12/10/2026in a culture ruled by vice signalling, "fake it til you make it" leads to scary outcomes 0101
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026this kinda stuff happens in remote places a lot. this is canadian dollars, but it was also in 2012 so before a lot of inflation 040
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026wish people would distinguish "consciousness" from "mind" because I don't think these are the same things 030
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I generally feel alright except that I sweat an ungodly amount when I sleep. just waking up totally drenched. fucking terrible 050
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I think what's going to happen is one of the big two labs is going to detonate and the other one is going to be able to slow down without the competition. if even more players get involved (like if google actually has a competitive model), then it's going to get even worse for openai/anthropic 130
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 10/10/2026oh, so when it really is "just the flu", suddenly right wingers don't believe it. curious 0150
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I honestly think that one of the most secretly pernicious things about AI is the way that it lets us do things that were previously impossible unless you involved human interaction. that's been a problem with the computer in general but AI makes it worse along every single axis 0120
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 10/10/2026your work's getting a lot of reach lately. congratulations. it's well-deserved 060
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 10/10/2026sounds like your mom is down with the sickness 051
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 10/10/2026but you need to BE INFORMED about what's going on. are you AWARE? do you KNOW what is happening?? 070

violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 08/10/2026he is attention seeking but I do really believe that he actually hates indians that much 030
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 08/10/2026"It would minimize the ability of a single senator to block bills with huge support, like last week when Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., blocked the popular Kids Online Safety Act." lol, popular is not the word I'd use to describe KOSA even if it has lots of sponsors 170
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 08/10/2026we would have held indiana, florida, and missouri, and flipped texas and possibly mississippi if 2018 had that kind of environment 000
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 07/10/2026this honestly sounds like overly aggressive autotune to my ears 100
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 07/10/2026kind of insane how prescient it wound up being 040
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I really don't like that there are at least two things this could be referring to 020
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026can someone please explain to me how genderbend malfoy is "chud coded" 100
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026drives me nuts just how much of a ball-knower ford is 020
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026oh I thought it was 61 for some reason. so they're a ways off and any of the other three parties can effectively be kingmakers lol 200
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026(they are not going to reach a majority but it is still going to be a total mess regardless) 050
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026a separatist party is about two seats away from a majority despite getting only 28% of the vote 150
violentlycar @violentlycar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026also, far from the point, but it is not the job of a senator to find missing children 0150
