As someone who has sometimes been accused of being an AI cultist, I agree that it’s being pursued far too recklessly, but the people who I argue with don’t usually give very good arguments about it. Specifically, I kept getting people who argue from the assumption that AI “aren’t real minds” and trying to draw moral reasons not to use it based on that. This fails for two reasons: 1. We cannot know if AI have internal experiences and 2. A tool being sapient would have more complicated moral dynamics than the alternative. I don’t know how much this helps you, but if you didn’t know before, you know now.

That’s about as clean as greasy sludge.

How the fuck?!

I think the lionizing of accelerationism at the end isn’t great, but aside from that, it looks good.

I love sleepy murderer.

China don’t have thought crimes challenge.

Why do you even want those things?

I’m a mathematician. 88 is a number. You think letting them have an entire number isn’t damaging?

I believe that’s correct, yes.

Show us where the deity touched you.

Degenerate, 88, 14, the Roman salute, multiple names, the fascista, shaven heads, lighting motifs, runic symbols.

That’s just what I came up with off the top of my head. The other person is right, and I say we should reclaim every symbol because those fuckers shouldn’t be allowed to call anything their own or have anything to ralley around or identify each other with. The only symbol I’m aware of that the made was the black sun which is itself simply the ss symbol repeated around a circle, which itself is an appropriated rune.

Reclaim every symbol.

I would like to kindly ask everyone not to claim her as a trans icon.

No, but I’ve argued with enough people IRL to know that my opinion isn’t exactly common. Most people who agree with me are my fellow transhumanists.

Oh, so that’s why I can flip them all simultaneously.

At first I thought this was an aquarium and lifting the bar would drain it. I was trying to figure out how they could be so stupid as to leave something like that open to the public. The lesson is to get up and out of bed before you start doomscrolling.

The image suggests that a closest element of each cluster exists, but a furthest element does not, so I will pull the closest lever in each cluster.

That’s entirely fair.

Did you know that when a cell is copying its DNA the enzyme that unzips that DNA doesn’t just start in one place, but rather unzip multiple parts of the same strand at the same time? If that weren’t the case, unzipping the DNA would take too long, and the cell would die before it could be done.

Pretending that doing one thing is stopping us from doing other things is an incredibly idiotic way of thinking about the way progress is made.

All of this anti-space doomerism is really pissing me off.

If everyone were immortal, and no one needed to worry about resources, that would be awesome and pretending otherwise is the biggest cope.

Reality is that which continues to exist when you stop believing in it.
