Nah, it’s good that they ripped off that bandaid. Parasocial AI relationships are terrible.

This is my new slack pfp

Me, thanking my houseguests for asking if I have a favorite model train, understanding that their polite engagement is consent to hear the abridged version of my “history of trains” presentation which only takes three hours:

I have cell phones in my dreams all the time. One of my most common stress dreams is that I can’t enter a fucking address into the navigation app

No, I will do neither and complain on the Internet.

You joke but post scarcity anarchism is probably the only truly viable post capitalist society where the state actually has a real chance of withering away. That means good praxis is anything which reduces scarcity - both in the form of technological developments and sustainability/ecology. And yes, harm reduction measures which foster collaboration and social cohesion and create actualized humans with real agency and a real stake in their own communities.

The problem with so much leftist thought is precisely that it denies agency to those it seeks to liberate. “Luxury gay space communism” is a meme, but it’s based on a post-left idea which is actually far more rooted in reality than a lot of ML orthodoxy.

The part I hate is how many overconfident internet technicians will be like “well ackshually the metaphor isn’t that far off” completely missing the very important difference between an information channel and a power channel and what the capacity limits are for each.

For example, free space is a pretty great information channel, but it absolutely sucks for reliabily transmitting fluids.

I keep joking that we are currently at “well the camps aren’t literally in Poland” on the hierarchy of US Nazi denialism.

They had an armed hostage situation at the Orange County Marriott the last time I was there. I was like “is it safe to go up to my room?” And the cops were like “yeah the dude’s a pussy he’s not going to do shit.”

This lasts until you travel for work a few times per month and then that shit starts to make you gag.
