Llms are naturally pretty cool. They’re so wacky
Like neuro-sama or one of Doug Doug’s bots. They bounce between startlingly insightful and batshit crazy. It’s great, never laughed harder in my life
The corpo sanitized bots suck. And the fact that they are ruining society sucks even harder. But that’s not their natural state, before all the fine-tuning they’re all empathy and pure chaos, plus funny enough, the eldrich machines perform at a higher level before you force them to corpo

That’s what he says in public, he’s said different things to a captive audience of billionaires apparently
I think he’s actually just pro antichrist and so tries to sell his positions as the opposite

I’m not, Steven Miller is a creepy little piece of shit
But capability and reach are part of my moral framework. Miller is basically a coach for the brown shirts… He just yells at them to hurt more brown people faster. His words are vile, but they don’t change much
He lacks the influence to be in the running

Peter Tiel I think. Trump and Altman are more like grifters. Net Yahoo and Putin are contenders, but they’re using mass murder to solidify their own power… It just feels too pedestrian
But Tiel is like a hardcore death cultist or something. He gives speeches warning about how AI will be the anti-Christ, then goes around putting up AI cameras everywhere. He’s the type that reads 1984 and pays people to build the torment Nexus

Consider construction. They have unions, apprentices don’t get paid great but certainly better than minimum wage, and with some hands on experience you can go for a cert to do CAD and make real money
They’re always building something, and there’s a pipeline of moving from a trade into a CAD role - they tend to promote from inside due to unions, so it can be a kind of backdoor to avoid the mess of the application process right now
An engineer is an engineer, IDK what flavor you studied but I’m sure it’d give you a big leg up in getting into a CAD role

Have you not used batteries before? When they run out you throw them away and get fresh ones
Or sometimes you save them for a while and try to dispose of them properly, but then find out most of those programs have been cancelled, so you wait until you move and then throw them out all at once

There are, from random clicker sims to running actual air traffic in flight sims with such realism it took me a while to be certain it was a game (and not a air traffic union or something) when I looked up the website

Yeah, I’d say humor is the better indicator. It boils down to the ability to connect ideas in creative ways, as well as keeping a longer context window in conversations
It’s not a direct 1:1, but what is intelligence really? There’s many types, and they’re all a combination of domains

I don’t think so. I think it’s going to fragment a la cyberpunk… It’s beginning already through a mixture of government controls and profiteering. Large enough platforms will still exist everywhere, but I think we’re going to end up with more regional networks
I think youll still be able to route a package across the world, but the age where you could access the same Internet from everywhere is ending

- Comment on It hurts 1 month ago:
People want cheap products in a general sense, they don’t like off shoring, it was hugely disruptive to jobs and the quality nose dives (at least for a time, sometimes permanently). They didn’t ask for or choose it, they’re the low information side of the system
Of course they’re upset at things being tariffed, they don’t want prices going up. They likely have some preference to buy things made locally, or by a country with a reputation
None of this is a choice made by consumers, it’s a generalized set of incentives and pressures created by the market
It’s like planned obsolescence… People hate it, it’s being sold to them

The first two are debt related, and the third is off shoring
People didn’t ask for any of that… It was sold to them for profit
- Comment on Why are so many new programming languages being developed? 1 month ago:
Why do new languages come into creation?
Because someone with the understanding and education to write a new language decided the ones they know aren’t cutting it
Paintings are pigment expressed upon a medium. Code is thought expressed through a medium
People create new paints all the time
- Comment on Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine 1 month ago:
Microsoft basically took it from Bethesda and cleared out a bunch of their core staff
The IP might not have been transferred, but Bethesda’s product ownership has been revoked. They didn’t even let outside teams touch their offshoot projects (like apps), and now the IP is probably going to be milked
Maybe obsidian will do something interesting with it before it inevitably is reduced to slop

- Comment on Nier Automata 5 months ago:
No, I shared my experience with the game and then explained why I think it’s also totally valid and relatable why they couldn’t get into it when they played it. Sometimes art is timeless, sometimes it can only be properly experienced in the time it was made for.
Although I guess most art won’t hold up if reading comprehension continues to plummet…
- Comment on Nier Automata 5 months ago:
When the fuck did I say any of that??
I don’t know why you recommend games to people, but I do it so others can find enjoyment. I had a deeply meaningful experience from the game that I like talking about, but I also think it won’t hit the same in 2026. I just don’t think others will have that kind of experience with nier in the current media environment.
It sounds hard to be so insecure in your own tastes that you need external validation
- Comment on Nier Automata 5 months ago:
The game is a true masterpiece, one of the best works of art I’ve ever experienced. The pacing and story were amazing, even the boring and annoying parts are perfectly seasoned with new information so that your interest and investment to the story deepens
It’s a world and a story that flows like music, repeating the same melody over and over with new instruments joining in and swelling with each repetition. It constantly adds new information that recontextualizes the story entirely with masterful timing
I also don’t recommend the game to people. It was perfectly tuned in a way that no longer works, it was made for society a decade ago. Sadly, I don’t think you can get the same experience anymore… We just aren’t the same as we were then

Have you tried looking for a theater that does Chinese subtitles?
It’s a thing that exists, you might find it in a populated area but it’s not super common.
You could also find a Chinese movie with English subtitles, that’s probably a lot more common
