(as the ~fuken-mupet said to me in a conversation about ~absolt-toole’s reimplementation of poon in the self-hosted thun, the unlimited poop is an exciting feature of the new pooke64 release.)
while the antifa FP crowd long jettisoned all Yarvin’s works, it occurs to me that the fa FP crowd don’t seem to talk about urbit or Yarvin any more either
I find myself periodically queried for my thoughts on artificial intelligence. On the one hand, this is very silly because I’m a humanities PhD who mostly writes about comic books. On the other hand, we’re talking about a field in which one of the most influential thinkers is a Harry Potter fanfic writer who never attended high school, so it’s not like I’ve got imposter syndrome.
I mean, not to tar any groups with a broad brush, but like, if I had to be criticized by any one person, I’d prefer to be criticized by DAIR rather than EAs, because the EAs hang around the Rationalists, and the Rationalists birthed the Zizians, and those folks have murders attributed to them. Like, at least with Dr. Gebru I can be reasonably sure that no one’s gonna come at me with a katana.
You have to be a bit crazy to go after a group like this (the Javert Paradox) but I don’t have big problems with anything Dr. Torres or Dr. Gebru have written as far as I can recall. I hope Torres gets off Twitter because that was never a healthy place.
I like ‘Star Wars’ way better. I’m a capitalist. ‘Star Wars’ is the capitalist show. ‘Star Trek’ is the communist one. There is no money in ‘Star Trek’ because you just have the transporter machine that can make anything you need. The whole plot of ‘Star Wars’ starts with Han Solo having this debt that he owes and so the plot in ‘Star Wars’ is driven by money [~Peter Thiel]
Your Honor, my client might’ve murdered mr. Thiel with a Lego model of a Star Destroyer, but as witnessed by Exhibit A he acted in good faith and as what can only be described as service to the community. We move for full acquittal.
This was worse than I imagined from the quotes. I feel like I need to take a shower, now.
[…] which would severely limit the Federal Reserve’s ability to control the economy while exporting inflation abroad, and likely bring our material standard of living down to a German or Dutch level
According to this Quality of Life index which I just searched up and have not critically assessed, but I doubt the guy did that either for his claims, so I guess it’s fine, the Netherlands rank second and Germany ranks 12th, while the US is on the 15th place. In other words: what is he even talking about?
Every day in this country more and more Hispanics marry corn-fed blonde midwesterners and produce pale Castizo children who only speak English, consider themselves basically White, and vote like Irish and Italians.
Jesus fucking Christ, I can’t even come up with a funny sneer here because this reads like he just pulled it out of the 1940s Nazi Party’s bag of race laws for who’s allowed to marry whom, and it’s making me feel icky.
I also subscribe to the old fascist idea that adversity gives life meaning. A comfortable and easy life without struggle or conflict is miserable, and just makes you a slave to the hedonic treadmill. When you live for pleasure, no pleasure is ever enough, and continued success will just leave you so pampered that any task that’s challenging or outside your comfort zone will begin to feel onerous.
Ignoring the low-hanging fruit that this guy just flat-out said “well, fascism wasn’t all bad”, what kind of toxic consumer mentality is ingrained in these chucklefucks that they are seemingly unable so sit their sorry asses down on the couch and just say, yeah, I’m happy right now, to the point where they just postulate that other people must feel the same way, because they just can’t imagine anyone being different?
A lot of rationalism is just an intense fear of death. Simulation hypothesis? Means that maybe you can live forever if you’re lucky. Superintelligence? Means that your robot god might grant you immortality someday.
Cryogenics? Means that there’s some microscopic chance that even if you pass away you could be revived in the future at some point. Long terminism? Nothing besides maybe someday possibly making me immortal could possibly matter.
I mean don’t get me wrong I’d give a lot for immortality, but I try to uhh… stay grounded in reality.
Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is “Nazi.”
Yes and that’s obviously lies, as anyone who has grown up with limited income in a cold area can tell them. Cheap, warm clothing is not bought online (in the US) from Russia, and never from Etsy. In the US it’s bought — if you’re buying new at all! — from Target or Kohl’s or some other big chain. You get layers, you get things used when you can, and the cheapest way to dress warmly is the most normie, uninteresting clothes that are mass produced and sold in low end department stores.
Nothing they describe is practical or cheap. It’s cosplay Kinder, Küche, Kirche, and the journalist repeated it verbatim because she’s a chump.
Every article on pronatalism in the past few years has been these two Thiel-sponsored white nationalist dweebs and nobody else. Why the fuck does the Guardian fall for this shit too.
The Collinses are atheists; they believe in science and data, studies and research. Their pronatalism is born from the hyper-rational effective altruism movement
This is just gonna be eugenics, isn’t it?
Malcolm describes their politics as “the new right – the iteration of conservative thought that Simone and I represent will come to dominate once Trump is gone.”
What’s that now? Neo-alt-right? You can’t just add another fucking prefix anytime your stupid fascist movement goes off rails.
One of the reasons why I chose to have only have two children is because I couldn’t afford to give more kids a good life; the bigger home, the holidays, the large car and everything else they would need.
Yeah, what about giving them love or a warm relationship, or, you know, time?
And then they wonder why those generations have shitty relationships with their parents when they seriously believe that what they need is a big fucking car, as if that’s the variable that was missing in all of this.
Excuse me while I go and hug my daughter. I need to de-rationalize myself after reading this.
“I moved to a place to be surrounded by white people, and decided I didn’t like white people because those white people weren’t hostile enough nor did they have enough of a desire to conquer other people. This made me realize white people are weak, so now I’m disappointed in them. But actually it’s because the white people in that area came from inferior nations 🤡.”
That’s the premise of the article to save you from having to read absolute horse shit. That guy is a waste of atoms.
First: our sessions and guests were mostly not controversial — despite what you may have heard
Man, you invite one Nazi to speak at your conference and suddenly you’re “the guys who invited a Nazi to speak at their conference.” How is that fair? :-(

i remain very happy seeing that they won’t be able to leave the subculture of weird nazi functional language nerds with no social acumen.
SFaaS (smelling farts as a service)
Jesus what an opening shot
Now I gotta read the rest
T Kamal in the comments:
I don’t think Torres or Gebru have dismissed the consequences of global heating like Nick Bostrom and Kelsey Piper, or casually called for bombing China and letting something replace humanity like Yud https://www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/eliezer-yudkowskys-long-history-of

Oh well done, you added noise to a line going up!

They named it Arya? As in, Aryan with the N cut off?
I bet that whoever came up with that thinks they’re clever as shit… fuckin morons.
yet another programmer who imagines that having computer science baccalaureate gives him an insight into human biology. sigh.
