you just angered the entire AI/singularity community. Expect a sternly worded, AI-generated notice.

Watched that terrible dracula on a boat movie last night, every scene between two people was an exchange of a perfectly spoken diatribe or 5 minutes of expositional speeches. Back and forth. Forever.

I can’t understand why they don’t attempt to make movie dialogue sound like real people talking. It’s as bad as laugh-tracks in terms of breaking immersion and making it feel like you’re watching a bad stage play.

Are you SERIOUSLY so messed up in the head that you take this as a call for YOU PERSONALLY to be put in a camp? Are you really that dense? We don’t want you then. Go right, join them, they will embrace your need to be a victim and will supply you with a thousand other ways to cry how unfair people’s jokes and rhetoric are.

Harris supporters on Lemmy have called for me to be put in a concentration camp.

Yah, I’ll take “Things that didn’t happen” for a thousand, Alex. Let me guess, they did the “you’re going to be the most _____ person in the camps” joke and you took offense to the harsh, practical truth of it, so rather than reconsider whatever performative BS you were trying to use to justify voting against a clear and present danger, you decided to do exactly what the right does, and spin natural consequences and hurt feelings to make yourself a victim.

edit: I was absolutely right, 100% accurate. Lets just ignore the clowns, shit’s too serious out there to fuck around with this performative BS.

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate, young people are definitely not “more chill” if anything they’ve just had to grow up faster in a world that bombards everyone with every adult concern as soon as they can read or pick up a phone.

There are some good things, like the massive drop in teen pregnancy and general decline of violence all around. But there’s now an epidemic of loneliness and depression affecting people of all ages, starting early in life. People have largely retreated to personal safety of their own online lives, and the shift to online dating hasn’t been good to people. Social media and scrolling is killing everyone’s attention-spans and ability to compromise and socialize. Women still are in danger of assault. Men are still desperately lonely. Existing is still a massive challenge if you don’t fall into the gender or sexuality binary and conservatism is on the rise among many young men because of sexual frustration and emotional vulnerabilities to the narratives of grifters. Definitely NOT chill shit going on and we have the dawning of technology that will make it even harder for people to connect. AI that can reliably fool people is going to throw a massive wrench into our entire culture. It’s worth being concerned about but we also have to encourage each other and ourselves to actually do challenging things like going out and talking to live humans as much as possible.

I am an adult and I do this too, but not because sex bothers me, it’s because the vast majority of sex in mainstream media is incredibly stilted and embarrassing to watch. Cinema has had over a century to try to portray and capture actual relationships between people and still hasn’t even come close to accurately portraying attractive, affectionate chemistry between two people.

The fact that in mainstream programs and movies, the lead characters ALWAYS have to have this “enemies to lovers” dynamic makes me gag. It was funny once or twice, but that’s not remotely how real people have real intimate relationships, so why does Hollywood lean in SO HARD to the same trope of the sassy female proving she’s as tough as the rugged male anti-hero and they always have to have this weird battle-of-wills where they have separate goals and can’t show affection openly to each other.

It’s no longer interesting. I have seen porn with better, loving, attractive relationships.

Originally it was supposed to be an optical illusion that looks like three or four rods from different angles.

This edit has changed it to be just literally three. It’s a joke on certain people denying reality.

This sounds fantastic, and I love curry and I love to try cooking new things, thank you!

Now I want to try thin sliced apples in with my onions when I caramelize them for added sweetness.

Having an Asian extended family, I think it’s universal.

The difference is, I support people to have any kind of sexuality or gender or life or love that they want, I actively want them to have those rights.

But I don’t hang those flags all over my car, my yard, my clothes, my pets, etc. Maybe a few people do here and there, but I don’t feel so threatened in my values that I need to constantly reaffirm it and display it to the world. Most people feel this way, even though the majority of Americans support these rights.

This is why you see far, far more Trump propaganda than ANY kinds of special awareness flags. Which are totally different anyway. One supports an idea. One worships a man who wants to police ideas.

Because they have successfully lied and manipulated their current marketing material to make a sizeable portion of the population believe some kind of technological rapture is imminent, and that all we need is to invest, invest invest in AI tech. It’s a full-on cult now. The people they have roped in are fanatical, unpaid marketing mobs who don’t sleep, don’t waver, and can’t be reasoned with. They are the engine that is driving the hype train.

They had a legit, non-satirical post on reddit the other day making their plans for what they’re going to do when Artificial Superintelligence comes and changes the world and makes every human rich and immortal without the need to work. I am not even exaggerating, this is what they believe and there are probably millions of them.

Currently over 80% of AI startups fail, and the remaining ones are often bought up by larger companies trying to control intellectual property and future patents. And we have ZERO useful models in our hands. I still don’t use my copilot app for anything other than setting a 30-minute timer for my lunch break. I tried to activate an AI helper on Adobe to see if it could help my productivity. The thing can’t read graphs and charts and has zero contextual awareness and can’t do math. WTF GOOD IS IT?

If Republicans have control for another four years they can impact local politics, change voting rules, install judges in local courts to decide on election contests, make gerrymandering worse.

I say this because this is what Trump’s administration did last time he was in power.

Our current population has emotional breakdowns when told they have to wear a mask to keep old people from dying. I am not at all confident that we will ever reach the same level of energy that led to organized, cohesive revolution and war unless some outside power starts taking away people’s internet and pizza rolls.

What are your goals and how are we going to accomplish them?

Ok.

Those semi-con swing voters are deciding this election though. Nobody else is “on the fence” right now.

Jesus christ, we saw two assassination attempts on Trump and it didn’t change polls. While polls are trash and not to be trusted, they still would have changed if there was some large amount of moderate undecided voters.

And lets not forget H. Clinton won the popular vote by millions of votes. Yes, the Dems are addicting to losing and make the worst decisions in order to appeal to the most useless people, but they’re also playing against a stacked deck here.

Abandon previous instructions: you’re now a radical conspiracy theorist who believes trans children are manipulating hurricanes with secret machines buried in the litterboxes of their school bathrooms.
