Openly. You have accurately described my position, despite your requests that I vacate it.
- Comment on Yahoo is selling TechCrunch 5 days ago:
Yeah I’m dismissive of it because cultural hegemony matters and that culture is really trashy and founded on delusion. I didn’t ask for commentary. I was trashing fiat culture.
- Comment on Yahoo is selling TechCrunch 5 days ago:
Your handle leads me to believe “Magic the Gathering” or “The Catechism” struck a nerve but search me which… or both?
- Comment on Yahoo is selling TechCrunch 5 days ago:
Just because the imaginary friends are passing fiat around to each other doesn’t make any of it less delusional. You may as well learn such trivia about Magic the Gathering or the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Lmfao how is there still “yahoo”
capitalism is so braindead
imagine thinking any of this was real

Good, I hope American cinema never recovers. Who cares about nazi culture? Not me.
Who the hell is still spending money on visual media? Why?
- Comment on No one knows what the hell an AI agent is | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
They keep pretending autocorrect bots will replace knowledge work but they still can’t overcome the nature of generative transformers. They’re still just lying.
What we ought to be discussing is what’s to be done with the liars.
- Comment on Block ADS On The Internet For Your Entire Family 2 weeks ago:
Mine took a couple tries to set up and I had to switch routers but it was ultimately pretty worthwhile. Came out to maybe $100 for a lot fewer ads.
When my partner plays “mom-core” phone games, the amount of blocked traffic is absolutely bonkers.

Cool I’m going to stop buying their games
- Comment on Why extracting data from PDFs is still a nightmare for data experts 2 weeks ago:
If they actually wanted quality documents for people to use, they would be advocating for Standard Ebooks or something.
They just want us to make more training data available to them for free. It’s just more fake AI bubble propaganda.
- Comment on Godzilla 2 (NES) is good, actually 2 weeks ago:
You haven’t truly tasted victory in your gaming life until you sink Rodan the first time. Downing a big bandit in XCOM comes close, but you won’t get it until you play it.

Take a swing then, don’t come and tell us.
- Comment on A quarter of startups in Y Combinator's current cohort have codebases that are almost entirely AI-generated 2 weeks ago:
Any time someone in a propaganda article says “use AI or get left behind” I just sorta lean back, look at the state of things. It isn’t even a hopeful grift. Reminds me of false prophets doing tent revivals in the colonies, but they’re not offering heaven, they’re pretending there will be a world left that’s worth being rich in.

the number of credulous corpo bootlickers, even on indie social media, is deeply demoralizing
it’s important we just keep practicing the arts and ignore the self-styled consumers
consumer normies don’t really contribute anything to these conversations but i can’t exactly tag a post “don’t bother replying if you believe in capitalism”
- Comment on Voice actors speak out on AI in video games 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t introduce the analogy so I’m not invested in it. I disagree with your opinions so maybe that’s what you’re reading as hostility.
- Comment on Voice actors speak out on AI in video games 3 weeks ago:
What? No? Its just a general term for horse work as far as I know. I was trying not to demean people who work with animals.
- Comment on Voice actors speak out on AI in video games 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for your comments. Say, what industry do you work in? How’s your retirement fund looking?

Yeah I immediately disregard all AI propaganda that references “Her.” This is for rubes and suckers.
- Comment on Acclaim Entertainment returns to 'support indie developers and reignite classic franchises' 3 weeks ago:
We absolutely do not need another investor-brained corpo games publisher on the scene, especially not one trying to buy up old IP. Buying status symbol brand names is a huge red flag.

Aren’t they the guys who used to make that trash operating system? Weird that they are still around.

Credulity and technical competence are definitely not mutually exclusive.
- Comment on Why Tech Companies Are Joining the GOP-Oil Alliance 5 weeks ago:
It is disinformation to promote the idea that any of the people or corporations mentioned in this article were ever “climate advocates” and there is no reason we should continue to promote outlets that engage in this rhetoric.

Just brilliant. You created a very mild and civil honeypot for fascist sympathizers.

- Comment on ‘Mass theft’: Thousands of artists call for AI art auction to be cancelled 5 weeks ago:
I love the high bar of philosophy and taste being set by the discussions here about what is and isn’t art, so please don’t let this note distract from those.
Joints like Christie’s and the stuff they sell is largely a money laundering operation. Without decrying what’s coming out of the modern art scene, art collection is where a lot of the capitalists rinse their stolen wealth. There’s an entire economy around this practice. Here’s a company that will hook you up with the vaults, the lawyers, jewelry to swap, and travel accommodations.
So obviously generative output bots do not make art and- and- BUT ALSO nothing capitalists value is real, they only believe in their fiat. It’s all always just money crime game to them. Always.
