I definitely was not testing the transition-into-combat shader, and realized I could use it to make an earthbound background, not at all what happened

I am personally of the opinion that if they learn from their mistakes they should be welcomed to the side of woke, but also what did they vote for if not this?

This is why I love the Ghibli apocalypse troupe. the apocalypse already happened and we already rebuilt. No matter how bad things got we made it through them. and that message is so obvious we don't even need to say it explicitly, all done through environmental storytelling.
An Existential hope.

Man I can't imagine what it would be like to be someone who spent their whole life studying tech to help make the world a better place only for the industry to be actively sabotaging the world by the time they were an adult.
Can't imagine it cause I am that person.

I have work i would do for free, but under capitalism my continued existence costs money. You'd be paying me to make that problem go away so i can actually focus on that work.

I haven't used it for anything meaningful, but i feel like I'm obligated to keep my hatred informed, and grounded in reality, i check in on it occasionally to make sure it still sucks ass.

I cannot get over the fact that they read an ethics report that said "hey there are some major ethical concerns about this tech we ought to address" and the higher ups responded "ooh a marketing strategy"
They are literally the kind of evil that does things because you tell them it's evil.

I read that first sentence in both of your voices and then it switched to just blue in the second.

Being comfortable with yourself in public in spite of the fact that you're not a hypermisogynist should honestly be enough.
Insecurity is a self inflicted problem and you can be the evidence of that by simply existing.

Scope expands to fill the time alotted. Setting a deadline helps even if you don't make it.

I left the tech field because it does exactly the same stuff, but also makes stuff that is actively causing the downfall of humanity. The only plus side is that you get paid enough to make it to the next job. The expectation that you are constantly applying to other jobs is cringe.

I wish I could get a job in politics where my whole job is to explain to politicians what new technology is and how it is (or isn't) useful so that they stop wasting our taxes on the shiny new thing. maybe I could also help them figure out how they could regulate these systems properly.

I feel like most people who think LLMs are useful believe that "useful" means "has a use"
But I feel that is a really low bar and we should consider that the bar for technology be "has a better use than the component parts"
LLMs don't pass that bar and should be scrapped for those more useful parts.

LLMs can only do the things they do because someone else did them better first, so first question answered. They are not useful. at least not as useful as the data they are based on.
If you want to argue parsing through that data is itself useful, we have a solution for that- search engines.

it is built on lies and you're smart enough to not fall for them hank.

The only thing LLMs are useful for on their own is obfuscating the people who actually solved those problems, Giant tech companies use this to convince you to pay them instead of those people
This is a fundamental aspect of the way AI works. No getting around it
EVERYTHING it can do WE can do better

Artists are better at art,
Google was better at googling (before they polluted everything with AI)
Wikipedia is better at finding real sources and summarizing ideas,
Stack overflow is better at giving coding advice,
and if it a book paper or article is worth summarizing it is worth actually reading.
comment in response to

Everything LLMs can do they can only do because someone else did a better job first. That's how they work, they recognize patterns in EXISTING DATA, and then imitate those patterns. EVERY problem they can solve was already solved better by something else that is mixed into that data.

I worked with the no men at every job I've ever had, they're insufferable. it must be so much worse in entertainment, it's supposed to be about fun and they never let you have any.

I can't be the only person who feels like having a conversation with chatgpt doesn't feel any more advanced than a conversation with cleverbot. It's still the same useless garbage. It doesn't feel smarter, it doesn't feel more like a person. It feels like it's all marketing.

Why are you idiots so opposed to the idea that you can actually make the world a better place?
I'm literally only asking for you to STAND FOR SOMETHING and you fight with me like I'm trying to pull teeth.
I'm not even telling you what to stand for, just something.
comment in response to

who do you think actually convinces people to vote?
It's canvassers like me.
I walk, every day, talking to people about politics.
The people HATE the federal democrats, you're lucky that the local ones know people in town well enough to convince them they aren't like you. They stand for something.

Trash or not, it's what the data says.
AOC and Bernie are getting crowds in the millions with their fake fight while your democratic leaders are bleeding out what support they have.

The Fight is how you win seats. It does not matter if it wins policies it wins votes.

Chuck schumer is practically one of the republicans with the way he votes, he isn't playing on our side. now is not the time for playing along and capitulating. Schumer has negative value. he needs to be gotten rid of. it isn't about whose on what team, its about who is useful to the cause.
comment in response to
post
If you want to win you need to convince voters that you're useful in the fight. YOU NEED TO HIGHLIGHT FIGHTERS and you need to put the idiots who won't do anything on the bench. That's how you flip seats. YOU NEED A PARTY WHO STAND FOR SOMETHING that the voters believe in.

Half your base are only willing to vote for the democrats because they aren't the bigots and you want to destroy that.
You fight for all our rights or none of them, you are an obstruction to democracy get the fuck out the way or you will be trampled alongside the republicans.

Stop lying. giving up on trans rights would cost the dems 10+ points and you know it, The canvasing org I work for has access to the data on what ad campaigns work and which ones don't. we have to go door to door giving your ads so we know which ones work and which ones don't. You can't lie to us.

Wikipedia is better for that, more reliably correct, isn't harming the environment, and isn't going to disappear overnight after the government realizes its a waste of money.

Don't let them tell you it's all of our collective faults that we "like to be angry" they built the algorithms to make us angry. It's not the default reality of the internet, it's the assholes in charge making it worse on purpose. They fear us working together, they want us angry at each other.

The internet was cool until the algorithms took over. Don't let anyone convince you the algorithms aren't designed to make this problem worse, the algorithms can be built differently. The algorithms should be built differently. The internet would be a safe space with different algorithms.

It starts with pulling ourselves out of it. We are the market, we are the outrage economy. If we stop buying into it, it stops being profitable.

I can't alter the alt text after the fact but the original meme this is from is a real life person was asked "minority rights or economic stability" and it briefly got very popular because he very succinctly stated why the question was stupid.

Thinking of racism as a cultural norm instead of a pure moral failing at an individual level enables us to think about how to change the culture to reduce racism.
the reason we are in this mess is the facists went out there and built entire alt right pipelines to increase racism in our culture.
