Interesting, thank you for the reply. I am not a hacker nor a gnostic but I have a slight fascination with the latter. But on hacking: while there’s merit to your position that hacker culture is reactionary I have to ask what do you think of hacker collectives like the one that leaked Project 2025 or other noble computer nerd activities? It seems to me like a hacker is exercizing another avenue of power over her world like jumping or singing. Thinking the online world is seperate and intangible from our non-online experience seems to be making the mistake of dualism in upholding one sphere of reality over the other/s.

hacker culture is intrinsically gnostic and reactionary

Do you nind elaborating a bit?

If AI bros were serious about existential risk and problems of alignment instead of attempting to form a cult of technobabble to make themselves superior and scrounge for venture capital… They’d pull the plug.

Altman is selling what he alledges he dreads more than anything: AI that would lie to you without a second (or even first) literal thought.

You must have missed when DONALD TRUMP LOST THE POPULAR VOTE IN 2016 BUT WON THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND REPUBLICANS CONSPIRED TO BLOCK OBAMA FROM NOMINATING A SCOTUS REPLACEMENT JUDGE AND THEN RUTH BADER GINSBERG DIED AND ANOTHER JUSTICE STEPPED DOWN LEAVING TRUMP TO FILL THREE VACANCIES ON THE COURT GRANTING REPUBLICANS ENORMOUS POWER EVEN THRU A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENCY.

THOSE THINGS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU SAYING BULLSHIT LIKE THAT. Your fucking vote DOES matter and maybe could you be bothered to SHOVE YOUR FOURTH GRADE CIVICS UP YOUR ASS AND VOTE GOD DAMN BLUE. Unless you FUCKING LOVE REPUBLICANS NOMINATING MORE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

Get a fucking clue before you open your fucking mouth with that shit. Or at least point to some actual fuck ups Biden and friends are ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE of which I can think of about four off the top of my head. But I guess good faith discussion isn’t what you’re after with your fascism-enabling milquetoast faux-left undercooked argument that JOE BIDEN’S ADMINISTRATION did those things you actually said or that they would have happened at all if TRUMP HADN’T BEEN FUCKING ELECTED IN 2016 WITH RHETORIC LIKE YOURS.

People’s lives are depending on you not being so fucking gullible and ignorant. That includes Palestinians, because they will cease to have a voice completely under Trump.

If you formed this chat clique you have to lead it and not be coy about it. If I were you I would talk privately with Ann and tell her not to spew the negativity. She could possibly have a blog type “quarantine room” for venting. But you should put your best foot forward and present a friendly space. Stick to your guns about that and people who don’t want that will self select out. When Ann is ranting you’ll look chill in comparison and maybe you can talk to her about who you both want to flirt with. You made a colleague chat, you have to, err, chat with your colleagues.

Hang on a second. Orson Scott Card is a homophobic motherfuck. What’d NS do that is so bad?

Well that certainly is some words you just said. Enjoy your naivete while you still can. I hope Sweden is always so wonderfully safe feeling. That must be nice.

Here in Sweden you won’t get arrested for protesting peacefully.

If you want to stage a protest you need permission from the police, they are required to grant it to you unless it can’t be done safely, then they can suggest a different location for the protest.

Wow I hope Sweden never has any sort of rightward turn that would suddenly leave your "right to protest (“peacefully”) (with mum’s permission) very much in the air. I hope you never have to fear they ID’d you at an event where the police kettled the event from a protest into a survival riot. I hope you never have to decide whether to pop your phone in a faraday bag. Take the battery out. Never need to hide your face from a government fond of making lists. Never fear gait recognition following you home thru a hundred CCTV cameras. The raid that comes in the night when you realize your freedoms were quite illusory. I hope your protest movement isn’t demonized by the media or arbitrarily designated a terrorist organization.

Fuck your shaming. We don’t protest for glory and clout. We protest because we are human. And some of us land immediately in the crosshairs unless we try to protect ourselves. Am I being hyperbolic? Ask the environmental movement the UK branded as terroristic for highlighting how close to extinction we are. Ask Cop City protestors. Ask Palestinian supporters in Germany. Ask BLM protestors who did nothing illegal and ended up in black vans being intimidated.

Grow up. Freedom isn’t free.

99% of democracies give up right before hitting it big and concentrating supreme power in the hands of a benevolent dictator.

Examine this change of logic. The democrats want a mandate from the people before they act antidemocratically? So that they can maintain the highground when they do an inherently lowdown thing? And they could do it now but they want a blue election first? Are you a snake eating its own tail?

The left: Man… I’m never gonna fully get over having gone through puberty for the gender that I feel doesn’t represent me. I wanted to take my own life at times and I had no support. I see that people who started transitioning younger have better results passing and are generally safer for it. I wish we could talk about this openly.

The medical community: It should be alright to delay puberty for trans kids on the same ground we delay puberty for cis kids if there’s a developmental problem, I guess. I don’t think we’ll be providing any life altering surgeries until adulthood however except in maybe extreme circumstances. We’ll see if there’s a suicide risk maybe.

The right: THE LEFT R GONNA CHOP OFF MY SONS DICK AND MY DAUGHTERS TITS THE MOMENT NEXT PRIDE MONTH ROLLS AROUND, I HAVE SEEN IT WRIT IN THE SKY, I HAVE SEEN IT SPELT UPON THE WIND, THERE WILL BE HORMONE GAS ATTACKS, THERE WILL BE ROVING GENDER-SWAPPER MACHINES, MY LINE WILL END IN DEGENERACY

The leadership: This is factually correct. Let us begin the Great Work. Alexa play Yhorm the Giant Dark Souls III OST by Yuka Kitamura.

Centrists: I am just not sure where the line is, y’know?

By the same token gait recognition.

Counterpoint: My sibling had their goddamn desktop ransomewared by this thing when they dared to uninstall it. It isn’t privacy nerd sensabilities, Windows now behaves like malware under certain opaque conditions and at unpredictable intervals. This was four years ago on Win 10. How great do you think non savvy people are about clicking things they don’t understand anyway and essentially springing a trap?

Why do you tolerate the moving of your countrymen into any camp?

Out of sight out of mind? There is no such thing. Any time we are dealing with undesirables, it’s out of sight and dead. That’s why we scream genocide. Historically, that’s how it starts.

Homes for the homeless. Never camps. Never “tent cities.”

Others are great, also shoutout to Equality Now. Another one that is not a charity is the ACLU.

The moral obscenity is that it’s been 70 years since the holocaust and we still won’t admit when a genocide is happening if it’s at all inconvenient for us until we’ve personally toured the camps and seen the human soot. The victims of genocide wait for Kock-funded, glue huffing NYT columnists to agree amongst themselves, and the wider consensus of respected Kock-money takers, to agree that a thing is genocide. Colonial India. Apartheid. Vietnam and Cambodia. Iraq and Afghanistan. We’ll always be waiting on evil fuckwhits at the New York Times and the Atlantic and so on to agree that people are dying because other people really fucking loathe them and consider them bugs. But GOD FORBID we be semantically incorrect as to the degree of wanton murder and the bombing of refugee corridors.

Little Nazi shitbags.

If what’s happening is broad incompetence, it is genocidal in its disregard for human life, and the IDF should be turned inside out at the Hague.

This is quite obviously a bot. I derive no pleasure in the fact it’s propaganda slogans hit at core truths, I merely urge my bruhs: consider the motive behind an account that thinks you’re stupid enough to miss its complete inability to come off as human.

He plagues gaming communities, how terrible. Take away his autonomy!

Listen to yourself. He needs meds and house arrests at most. I do not propose to know how to discourage a compulsive hacking disorder, but why on Earth should a judge sentence him to imprisonment on behalf of Rockstar for a leak?
