Now everyone is sitting around pretending that Meidas Touch are some sort of organic outfit. That there aren't people who have dedicated their lives to this shit and paid every price. But now, influencers are all like "Palantir bad because Curtis Yarvin". You fucking fools.

The thing about people with principles is that they are consistent.
I'll defend Palestinian protestors as vehemently as I did from shitty lazy marketers and their dashboards. I'll defend Kiwifarms as vehemently as I will leftist media. No high profile person gives a toss about deep deplatforming.

AI is a bit like Jesus... he was pretty cool but his followers are annoying as fuck.
Anyway I do want to write more about the solid, ethical use cases for AI in a sane, experienced, pragmatic way (adds to the backlog)

I mean it doesn't have the trademark Téa finishes to it - the overuse of ellipses, the running sentences/inner monologue style, but the bones are quite impressive. I do like Deep Research too - better than any assistant I ever hired to do the same thing.

btw it was the Twitter algorithm and it has always been weaponised in this way. My account was attacked several times to the point of zero reach, and I talked about it, ran all the experiments at the time and yeah.
It's not the X algo. It's algos in general. One day everyone will catch up. :-)

Anyway, Rest in Piss to the Coalition. May you disappear back into the cave from which you emerged and never, ever evolved from.

Watching her latest YouTube video and the mistake people like this make is that it is obviously *their* journey and realisation, and they extrapolate that to everyone else and call it analysis. It isn't. It's a memoir.

The thing is, they are missing large parts of internet history when they cut off at Tumblr and social media. Dare I suggest that (again, I like her and she means well) annoying "content millennials" moved in and it's been war ever since... nar it was 2020

Actually it just occurred to me that I can build something that does with with AI, crawls my channel, transcribes to Whisper and finds them and creates a database of timestamps.
Hmmm

One day I will go through and try to extract it, but it is such a huge job... I'd prefer to pay someone to do it but I need to have that money. Might get son to do it, but I also want to pay him too. Chicken-egg problem. One day!

I have absolutely no idea what has been going on. I am currently non-human, a mere shell, at the mercy of the hardest and yet most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. Which I regret. And I cry a lot. But… JD incoming! And more tears…

That's why the dumbest Tankies sound like the dumbest MAGA.
They have a unifying ideology, and that is ... being wilfully stupid and aggressively ignorant.

This is definitely the "no to internet cults" election and this will become more apparent to you as you read the discourse.
And all of them calling Australians stupid for not being in their cult, in unison, without realising THAT is their mistake.

...whilst not being a member of the party, showing up to anything, participating in any consultations, or doing anything other than poast to other do-nothings.
I just wanna enjoy the high. Ugh exams
