it’d be really weird you didn’t do even a tiny amount of reading into the research by DAIR and other organizations studying the interplay between AI and racism before shitting this post out into our thread, but I’ve seen your takes on transphobia and they’re somehow even more inane so please feel free to go fuck yourself

riskable, sibling, please take this as advice:

you should’ve stuck to things you know like the coefficient of friction of PETG, magnetic field interactions, or any other topic where your output isn’t this absolute buffoon shit

deezer seems to rightfully consider being flooded with lazy AI slop a problem:

Herault added that a detection tool launched in January was helping the company filter fully AI-generated tracks from the algorithmic recommendations for its 9.7 million subscribers.

Drake used AI to duo with Tupac in one of his songs

this is something different from what the article’s talking about, but also that sounds tacky as fuck

so like a fool I decided to search the web. specifically for which network protocol Lisp REPLs use these days (is it nREPL? or is that just a clojure thing with ambitions?)

and the first extremely SEOed result on ddg was this bizarre blend of an obscure research lisp from 2012 and LLM articles about how Lisp is used in mental health:

Numerous applications and tools are being developed to support mental health and wellness. Among the varied programming languages at the forefront, Lisp stands out due to its unique capabilities in cognitive modeling and behavior analysis.

so I know exactly what this is, but why is this? what even is the game here?

to quote the red ink on your last CS exam: Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

yeh I know, so calling out zk proofs as “the technology behind crypto” really reads like calling hydrogen gas “the technology behind the Hindenburg”, doesn’t it.

you and your friend really should have spent any time at all looking into who runs worldcoin and how fucking monstrously dystopian it is before rushing into buttcoin of all places to defend the “valid use of the technology behind crypto” (????) you both imagined existed in the OP’s screenshot

you got banned before I got to you, but holy fuck are you intolerable

We should be people of science, not reactionaries.

which we should do by parroting press releases and cherry picking which papers count as science, of course

but heaven forbid anyone is rude when they rightly tell you to go fuck yourself

type the words “transhumanism eugenics” into ddg and see what comes up. but mostly just fuck off tbh

it was previously quite easy, but it seems to be getting much harder as Google locks the ecosystem down alongside their push towards manifest v3 (cause nobody can have nice things) and potentially moving their Chromebooks to Android

a used Chromebook might still be a good option for a cheap linux laptop though — your mileage may vary. if you go that route, look for one that lets you replace its bootloader. the Google one is extremely annoying if you’re running a third-party OS, because it’ll wipe your SSD and reinstall ChromeOS if you hit spacebar during boot (probably Google’s way to punish the user for straying too far from the ecosystem)

all of the subculture YouTubers I watch are colliding with the weirdo cult I know way too much about and I hate it

I bet it generates stochastic nonsense you’ll read like tea leaves
