I finally got all of my personal devices switched over the other day, so far not missing anything. Just need a password manager and then maybe email accounts.

Using his own terminology here. He says in the piece that bad faith is often ‘incorrectly’ defined as ill intent, and my argument is that the ill intent is a package deal.

Can I argue that misrepresenting yourself in an argument intentionally is, in fact, done with ill intent an overwhelming majority of the time.

Ah yes, Google the benevolent gatekeeper to my user interest metrics, surely not to sell them to anyone who is willing to pay the smallest pittance upon mere request.

Yeah that is the further complication with “the algorithm”, it means different obfuscations in different contexts. Also further is that nearly every type of machine learning or automated process invariably references “the algorithm” or several such manufactured deities which we somehow cannot control or improve meaningfully once deployed.

Techfash use of algorithm is absolutely as a condensation of the concept of an unknowable invisible hand that the thought police uses to determine what is fit for you to consume - i.e. they made it, then demonize it because rightwing content is deprioritized because nobody wants to hear that shit all the time. It is at once a method of controlling information, but also a convenient scapegoat for the right to blame their limited reach on and claim as a liberal censorship tool.

Ah yes, computer programming, the leader in biological sciences.

It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.

Probably stems from the altright concept that universities are indoctrination centers designed to homogenize entire generations to liberal thought.

Oh I am aware, but the claim they are reporting on is pretty staggering.

It’s the trade school they send all the drones through after they hatch

I will not, because his lies are dangerous and deserve to be ridiculed.

“smart and hardworking people” aside, the normalization and dismissal of these statements as just marketing or otherwise harmless fibs has enabled a consistent escalation of scope and affect. Design shortcuts that Tesla has made have resulted in actual death and injury, and claiming that the cars have agi even in a rudimentary sense is astonishing.

Somewhat akin to the e-libertarians who are convinced they will assume the role of dominant survivor slash ruling class once the pesky government collapses and gets out of their way. As if their inability to attain success in the current socioeconomic climate had anything to do with outside forces limiting their potential. The rolling of my eyes is intense enough to attain gravitational coefficient.

Realistically this is a hyperbolic liar completely disconnected from reality spewing said hyperbolic lies into the public sphere, unfortunately to a somehow still receptive audience.

The assumption that they will be the boot finally despite achieving nothing so far is hilarious and telling.

You want to speak to the manager? It’s me, I am the manager.

The promptfans are here and so is my crippling need to shit

They are doing their best to make Chrome actual malware.

“We like to think this hard work is exactly what makes Urbit special. Consider yourself warned.”

Yep, this incompetence disguised as intentional obfuscation shit again. Ay, caramba.

A girl?! Quickly, take your red pills everyone, and invoke the names of the benefactors!
