  • LLMs are dead end tech which is only useful for people who want to do unethical shit. They’re good at lying, making up nonsense, sounding like humans, facilitating scams, and misleading people. No matter how much time and energy is spent developing them, that’s all they’ll ever be good at. They can get better at doing those things, but they’ll never be good at anything actually useful because of the fact that there is no internal logic going on in them. When it tells you the moon is made of various kinds of rock, the exact same thing is happening as when it tells you the moon is made of cheese and bread. It has no way of distinguishing between these two statements. All of its ‘ideas’ are vapor, an illusion, smoke and mirrors. It doesn’t “understand” anything it’s saying, all it does is generate text that looks like something someone who does understand language would say. There is no logic in the background and there cannot be.






  • Curing cancer sometimes requires it to be cut out. It’s not ethically abhorrent to use deadly force to defend yourself or others from certain deadly force.

    That is correct. The evil people you have to defend yourself against are human. If you continue to delude yourself that you are only allowed to fight against that which is not human, and thus all your enemies must not be human, you will fail because of the contradictions inherent to this delusional point of view.

    You need to take a principled stance against fascists, that they are fought because of what they choose to do and what their choices require of the rest of us. They aren’t born this way, you can’t find the fascism gene under a microscope, you can’t do phrenology and determine that fascists all have this or that skull shape. They’re just human. If they have to not be human for you to be willing to fight them, you will lose.



  • Ranting about the untermensch to show how much I’m not a Nazi…

    If you really think Nazis are subhuman, you’re not going to be prepared to do what needs to be done when the time comes. These are human people. They laugh, they cry, they have moms and dads and brothers and sisters and husbands and friends. They look just like you or me, you bump elbows with them in the grocery store. You’ve shaken their hands, made small talk with them, and laughed at their jokes.

    None of that changes what must be done.


  • I got banned from reddit last week for “threatening violence” basically because my comment contained the word “die.” It wasn’t a verb.

    Reddit is super aggressive with this shit now. If you say “Don’t drink bleach, that would kill you.” Their AI bullshit just sees “kill you” and bans you for threats.

    Site is fucking useless, don’t even bother at this point. It’s mostly robots talking to other robots at this point anyway.
