Right Wing politics is very simple. They want to steal EVERYTHING for them. They just pretend that it will go to you.

The end goal of all of this for AI guys is to have an LLM that generates a wife to which they can then say "LLM, please fuck my wife good," so they can then post about how they have a wife who says they're great in bed and roll their eyes at people with physical wives and good sex lives.

I'm not interested in the theoretical debate about whether Zionism is inherently racist, I'm more concerned with reality and that the actual Israeli STATE is extremely racist and currently engaged in a well documented genocide against the Palestinian people.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

The story is scaremongering (to convince people chatbots have agency). The created a reason for agents to remove the evidence, and they did (or tried to). They did not “try to hide” what had been done; the followed the intent of the programmer.

I think the way a lot of people are reacting will be interpreted as "rockstar shouldn't be allowed to do this" when the issue is actually "everyone should be allowed to do this"

This is one of the (many) reasons I believe societies should structure their tax systems to prevent people from becoming billionaires. It’s bad for society & it’s also extremely bad for them. Many of the super-rich are totally messed up because they can’t trust anyone & they’re right, they shouldn’t

Is your brain full of mind vampires?

A comic all in red, depicting a man with a cut out of his brain with a vampire skulking inside of it.
Big text at the top says "is your brain full of mind vampires? you are not alone."
The vampire says "bleh! bleh! I am 2000 years old. Bleh! your only desire now is to find my amulet."
The man says "Dang, gotta find that amulet."

Further text at the bottom says "there is no cure for mind vampires but there is support and management. Know the warning signs, get help early."
