I realize I post a lot about public health even though my professional expertise is in physics and I definitely don’t want to misrepresent my expertise! It’s just that I am experiencing the world from INSIDE A HUMAN BODY and so are ALL OF MY FRIENDS which is, honestly, more than a little concerning.

the thing that confuses me is why ppl don't feel like a display of pigheadedness is losing face. like often in retrospect the times in your life where you can look back and see you should have listened are way MORE embarrassing. is it just the in the moment element? (I'm bad at understanding ppl)

A billionaire would be like "what, I don't get it, this chatbot sounds like literally every single person who has talked to me in the past 20 years, what do you mean. I am becoming an immortal robot god, by the way."
Pookleblinky (@pookleblinky.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Like, these people get a glimpse of what a billionaire's existence is like and it does to their psyche what a sledgehammer does to a nail. *That* is how utterly alien and divorced from all normal human experience billionaires have become.
Pookleblinky (@pookleblinky.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Like, how much of this "I talk to chatgpt 5 hours a day and it is teaching me to to become a god" is the result of a normal person glimpsing the abyss that is *literally* a billionaire's every single social interaction, and it fucking destroying them.
Pookleblinky (@pookleblinky.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
But to a normal person, not innoculated to that by having long-since become absolutely divorced from all normal human experiences, that is basically a sledgehammer to their mind.

Like, to a billionaire, who has completely forgotten what it is like to be told "no, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, shut the fuck up," who has forgotten that there are any limitations on his every fucked up Epstein whim, genAI just sounds like literally everyone he talks to.

Like, the billionaires created a digital sycophant machine that just flat out annihilates the minds of normal people. People who have actually heard someone tell them "no" in the past decade.

I wonder how much of AI "it tells me I am transforming into a god" cultism involves a digital version of Stendhal Syndrome, a cheesecake superstimulus very deliberately tailor made by the billionaires who created it to do so.

Even if they have the moral rectitude of an Apostle, being a billionaire is just simply too much power. Like if you gave me a billion dollars and told me I had to spend it I could literally change your entire life for better or worse without realizing it and you'd have ZERO ability to stop me.

there is some democratisation of environmental destruction in ai, but it's in this more intensive stuff: a picture is ~1,000 times a text prompt, a 5 second video ~1,000 times that, and these are the things usually re-run many times to get a desired result.
shirk hard gay hard (@riotstarz.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
there are other ethical considerations, but most individual prompts are environmentally negligible. however, building in automatic ai prompts into processes billions of users each use hundreds of times a day is what creates the need for devastating ai data megacentres.
shirk hard gay hard (@riotstarz.bsky.social) reposted
when ppl talk about the environmental impact of ai, there tends to be little discussion of how steep the distribution pyramid is. fag packet calculations, a 100-minute movie will use around 100,000,000,000 (100 billion) times the electricity of a pleb's ai text prompt.

There is no artistic case to be made for AI, the only arguments that make sense are about consolidating the money in the industry in an ever-smaller number of hands, and I think it is exposing that the relationship those elite artists have to capital is very much not the same as everyone else.

yeah. this is why they hate queers and trannies. doesn't matter how assimilated you are. it's about dominion of the family unit, the negation of autonomy for everyone except the head and control of biological reproduction. the family is the micro and the state is the macro.
Alex Arrelia (@alexarrelia.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Fascists will always make excuses to beat, rape, humiliate, demean and punish, and that cannot be contained within institutions without spilling over into interpersonal relationships, because fascism sees the entire world in terms of transactions of power, with naturally occurring winners and losers
Alex Arrelia (@alexarrelia.bsky.social) reposted
To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior. These are inextricably linked.

homelessness is a devolved matter so hard to compile stats for the whole of the UK but in England there are 1,352,130 vacant homes and about 345,000 homeless people. more affordable housing should absolutely be built! but the homelessness crisis could be solved overnight, right now.

Like seriously, this isn't a epiphenomenon or an aberration, this is a fundamental mechanism by which a hierarchical society is created. Children are subjected to pervasive violence at all points in their lives. They are deliberately broken to create people who can be treated like objects.

Once you accept what our society is actually built on (the mass rape of children) you can never ever want anything other than it's complete destruction.

like if I said, I'm too tired to go to the shop, I would be thinking "do I have the energy that going to the shop while basically fine would take" and its like, well no, but also the energy it would take would also be way higher and so would the energy cost of not going to the shop
impossible knot (@burnyourbones.bsky.social) reply parent
I can't tell if that only sounds like a reasonable argument because of how tired I am lol but hear me out. the energy doing any task - or even just doing nothing and trying to rest or just existing in your body - takes when you're tired is so much higher than the same thing would be if you weren't
