Actually, they find that term judgmental and offensive, they self-identify as a That-Which-Gives-Life-Meaning Cult. And they're saying that they're gonna Give Meaning to the Life of one hostage every hour until we agree to stop producing antibiotics so that nature can take its intended course. Or until all the hostage's lives are super meaningful. Whichever comes first

14 questions. Two axes. Where do you actually land on AI?
I made an AI Political compass. It doesn't store any info, so tell me what you get in replies or tags.
lmao at this description, not particularly apt ... i think id come off somewhat less optimistic if there were more questions that lean towards being about surveillance and power, but the transformative scale placement seems accurate
well, fuck you too!
i genuinely dont have any kind of political point here but its still really funny when the bryan johnson blood transfusion rejuvenation thing has internet leftists talking about capitalists being vampires meanwhile the idea was originally experimented with by a literal bolshevik revolutionary
Lenin's embalment was explicitly based on cosmist concerns and he was initially attempted to be cryonicized.
Conservatives rebranding as the "facts and logic" people despite being the side of anti-intellectualism, medicine denial, teaching creationism in school, climate change dishonesty, and etc. is like when they rebranded themselves as the "freedom of speech" people despite being the side of the satanic panic, censoring authentic LGBT existence, trying to isolate and control children so they won't learn anything parents do not approve of...
Rather than developing a negative reaction to reason or free speech it's best to point out that they're 100% not any of that and are completely dishonest in pretending they are.

also, I didn't realize Brent Dill was also teaching life philosophy based on Mage: The Ascension.
Meanwhile here I am reading more Mage franchise schlock
it's not good but it's fun, it's the kind of novel i could have read as a kid, when i was reading wizards of the coast novels
i know the people who think Mage is philosophically deep are reading the rulebooks, not the franchise fiction, but i think good game fiction (by the standards of game fiction), you should be able to say of it, the rulebook exists as a framework for telling stories like this.
so i feel like I should be able to pick up on something...
well, maybe i already know what they see in it, and I disagree. The core mechanic seems to be conflicting "paradigms". Like there's no objective reality, just belief, but belief isn't just individual. The dominant paradigm is like mechanistic physics, which is why magic doesn't work in public, but other paradigms enable magic, as long as they don't conflict openly with the dominant paradigm or each other. Since I'm placebo effect posting again, it stands out to me that this is another "beliefs become reality" type thing, the kind of thing where people say "and that may sound implausible but there's actually at least one scientifically documented example" and bring up the placebo effect. But maybe that's a spurious connection.
if I had a nickel everytime a rationalist cult emerged around Mage: The Ascension schlock... I would have three nickels, which is a lot of fucking nickels
would still be one of the funniest quotes even without the context of it being a murder manifesto

It’s very funny that Hegseth spends 100 percent of his time talking about how masculine and traditional and warrior are ethos he made the military, then his band of Real Men just speed ran a nearly unprecedented military failure
the belfast violence has gotten a lot of coverage in us media (plus british media ofc, which a lot of americans including myself rely on). i havent seen as much attention given to the "march and march" protests and associated rioting/looting in south africa, which are very similar in character: flare-ups in anti-immigrant hatred, sparked by social media content abt victims of violent crime at the hands of immigrants, fueled by ascendant anti-establishment xenophobe-populist parties unwilling to fully associate themselves w the violence but very eager to commend most of those protesting as airing entirely legitimate grievances -- tho w the caveat that in sa the main such party (the offensively named "mkhonto wesizwe" party under jacob zuma) brands itself as far left rather than far right. (special disapprobation also is due here to the recently minted "mayibuye" party under ex-eff and ex-mk sellout floyd shivambu.) the orgs responsible for instigating these protests/riots have set a 30 june "deadline" for illegal immigrants to get out; theyre claiming they wont be calling for an escalation that day but we shall see
looking especially dicey for the eff (which has condemned the march and march organisers) since this means this election yr (the self-proclaimed yr of "victory or death") its going to be fighting an uphill battle against both reputation loss for its anti-borders stance in the wake of the resurgent anti-immigrant sentiment and its leader getting lawfared into prison (probably)
anyway i thought this statement from mk was particularly flabbergasting
The MK Party has distanced itself from formal alignment with the March and March movement but says it supports the right to protest and view
He said failure by authorities to manage protests cannot be attributed to organisers, stating, “If the police fail to contain those people when they protest, then that means they are weak. It means the police are weak.” Nomvalo added that policing failures should not be used to delegitimise protest action, saying, “We can’t suffocate March and March for the failure of the police to enforce order during this protest.”
"the race riots arent the fault of the ppl stirring them up, theyre the fault of the cops being too weak to stop them stirring them up" hahahahaha wtf
i feel like the upswing in anti-migrant hate in sa ought to feature more in western thinking abt similar tendencies in our own countries, it makes you think more abt commonalities we share w sa and not just other highly developed western liberal democracies w the left in perennial retreat
What is Tumblr?
Tumblr is the opiate of the very, very few.

Enough time has been wasted trying to contextualize numbers about data center resource usage. We need to go into the notes of fandom bloggers and yell how every episode of Heated Rivalry they watch consumes just as much power as generating fifty(!!!) AI images, just to see what that does to the discourse.
the whole radfem transfems vs radfem transmascs war of the past couple years was pretty much inevitable as long as standpoint epistemology was standard in queer communities. Of course they're going to have screeching arguments who gets to claim female oppression!
Honestly I don't know which ones i dislike more. On one hand, the radfem transmascs being all "ooh i'm a poor widdle AFAB oppressed by the Penis People" are the dumbest just on the merits of the position, like. fuck it's like i'm getting secondhand dysphoria just hearing those arguments. man the fuck up?
on the other hand, it's the radfem transfems that have actually shit up spaces i've been in with crazy man-hating shit, i thought the radfem transmascs were some deranged misandrist delusion on their part until a transmasc friend of mine explained that they actually existed. So i have more personal antipathy there.
And the worst part of it all is that they just drive each other more crazy and radical with each passing month.
to be clear, both are in fact oppressed, but the oppression olympics stuff and a ton of the rhetorical tools they've adopted are at best incredibly stupid and counterproductive.
