Cynikoi(I)

an hour after two edibles and these boxes start communicating with me telepathically

we already have herding dogs that excel at protection sports. they're called malinois.

i was on a social media platform the other day and was looking at someone’s page and they were like “hey if you’re looking for a breeder, make sure they do thorough health testing and have open take back policies” and i was like 👍 sounds right and then they were like “all crossbreeding is unethical!” and i was like. do you realize how you sound.

if you ever catch yourself concerned with maintaining the purity of a bloodline you really need to stop and think about how much you sound like a nazi. or perhaps a targaryen.

I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right
