This bullshit again

I haven’t seen the YouTube recommendation page in so long I wouldn’t know. Invidious my beloved <3

Median age is usually 19-25

Good news, now they’re 40-50 and severely divorced!

TIL Hank Green, the milquetoast BlueSky poster, also has some YouTube channel. How quaint.

I think every time I learn That Guy From BlueSky also has some other gig different from posting silly memes I lose some respect for them.

E.g. I thought Mark Cuban was just a dumb libertarian shitposter, but then it turned out he has a cuntillion dollars and also participated in a show unironically called “Shark Tank” that I still don’t 100% believe was a real thing because by god

What’s up with all the websites that tell me “you’ve reached the limit of free articles for the month” even though I’ve literally never entered that site before in my life. Stop gaslighting me you cunts.

Anyway, here’s the archive

All of those people, Krauss, Dawkins, Harris (okay that one might’ve been unsalvageable from the start, I’m really not sure) are such a great reminder that you can be however smart/educated you want, the moment you believe you’re the smartest boi and stop learning and critically approaching your own output you get sucked into the black hole of your asshole, never to return.

Like if I had a nickel. It’s hubris every time. All of those people need just a single good friend that, from time to time, would tell them “man, what you said was really fucking stupid just now” and they’d be saved.

Clout is a proxy of power and power just absolutely rots your fucking brain. Every time a Guy emerges, becomes popular, clearly thinks “haha, but I am different, power will not rot MY brain”, five years later boom, he’s drinking with Jordan Benzo Peterson. Even Joe Fucking Rogan used to be significantly more lucid before someone gave him ten bazillion dollars for a podcast and he suffered severe clout poisoning.

Not really any more insane than any other white-collar corporate job I’ve seen in my life

Spoiler: there are no actual dragons in either book 😞

This is always what you get when your fundamental belief is “capitalism good”, so no matter how close you get to “and the problem is capitalism” you can never actually get there, like in a crazy version of edging.

What I’m saying is that libs are philosophical gooners

“Engineering a Compiler” is a better read than the Dragon Book anyway

Every time I learn one single thing about how academia works in the USA I want to commit unspeakable acts of violence

I was thinking about ethics in game journalism in software engineering and I think it might be easier to create a whitelist than a blacklist:

What are some serious software/hardware companies that have NOT participated in the AI bubble? No AI nonsense in their marketing slides, no mentions of AI on their landing page, etc.

More recursion means more intelligence.

Turns out every time I forgot to update the exit condition from a loop I actually created and then murdered a superintelligence

On the other hand, I’m sure people are going to come up with excuses even for this by blaming the user, his mental illness, his mother or even society at large.

I mean, I am going to say it but not as an excuse. Should companies that supply these products be held accountable as the criminals they are? Yes. Is this all downstream from the fact our society hasn’t treated mental health as a serious matter, therapy access is garbage, all the while being a young person in 2025 is a hopeless string of horrors and anxiety? Also yes.

Torment Chatbot That Kills You is a bad thing to create, but also no one would be chatting with the Torment Chatbot That Kills You if society hadn’t utterly failed them beforehand.

… thank almighty fuck

I’m sorry but this is zero percent surprising like ye of course he is, he was addicted to anime porn before AI generation probably

That’s because we haven’t helped them achieve their full potential

Watch till end the third option made me choke on my drink it was way too funny

We should have a cognitohazard tag
