✧ OBEY YOUR MASTER! ✧

seeing people claim that 4chan is "just a website like any other" is still just insaaaane to me

just saw someone say that 4chan can't possibly be white supremacist because they attacked scientology in the 2000s you people are stupid for real

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity.  make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged.  and strike. attack.

YES i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word. above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that

This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data

Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.

Boy it SURE would be a SHAME if this were SPREAD AROUND for everyone TO SEE

Oops accidentally pressed the reblog button. hehe. Oopsiii. Not my fault. But I guess now that it’s on my blog too…

All love to my objectum siblings but I have to ask questions when some of you want to fuck buildings. I’m not hating, I just don’t understand the logistics yet. You should always refer to the things you want as goals and not dreams, and make plans of how to get there- how do you plan to make your vision of fucking the Sears Tower a reality?

I have to return House of Leaves to the library, it’s overdue and I didn’t even get 2 pages in.
