Yeah but previous posts do not have the risk of blowing up into an 'untitled' again. This will get backlash, and he will pretend that he is the victim again after the backlash.
I have some thoughts on this plan. Say I make a new video game and use AI to write the articles for it. Where would the AI get the data from? And how do you prevent AI using slop as a source? (and just listing it as 'a problem' will not fix the problem, it undermines the fundamentals of your whole project).
Also "sounds kinda cool" really? Cool? You have seen the current crop of LLMs? Did you ask a LLM if this was a good idea first or something?
As I said on bsky, why is he complaining, if he cares he could fund bsky himself. Bsky could name an office wing after him, give his kids legacy admissions, give him a shoutout in every video they make.
(While my tone is mocking here, I actually dont think these things are bad (except the legacy admissions obv), and he should be a patron. The unwillingness of the 'left/democrat' rightwing rich people to use their wallets while the right hands out wellfare for everyone willing to say slurs sucks. Reminded of Hillar Clinton starting a go fund me for a staffer with a disease).
So, should the world pull the lever and save Gaza, knowing it will ultimately lead to more Israelis dying? Or should they keep giving them more weapons, so that they can keep murdering Palestinians with them?
Sanctioning countries that send troops/bombs into other peoples countries till they stop doing that and repay for the damages would be a way to prevent that. They can still have guns for self defense, but as soon as they use them to retaliate an not just defend they get cut off. (Of course this system can be beaten, and it also requires a world police force, and the UN has never been that in what I assume is partial design, the UN should never be able to threaten the USA/Russia).
Has also done long threads on sinfest (scrolling to the first post of this thread showed that Sinfest did the 'im the woker' joke as well, which was written on one of the weapons from the recent mass shooter).
They don't even try to catch the page spammers? Ow god. (the account creation is hard to do something about, but the page spammers is just bad, in this case it is also bad because all the new accounts end with 4 numbers). Less than the bare minimum.
(how are the very online, worried about robots killing everybody, have enough time to write book sized blogposts, so bad at this, when I was active trying to maintain a wiki I checked the recent changes somewhat regularly, for shame).
Give me admin rights Scott, I can keep the toxic elements off my your wiki.
I mean to say I'm aware of this, I know he isn't and that Trump should not be allowed a third term, it was intended as a dark joke and to portray my dislike of the people pushing both people.
E: but yes, sorry for wasting your time being snarky while you honestly tried to help.
There is also the whole 'nits make lice' sort of stuff which was used to justify killing Native Americans (ow look, a group who also has not homeland to return to, which Scott, an American, forgot about). And basically any sort of genocide ever runs on this sort of 'I have to kill their babies because they might kill mine' shit logic.
Even Robocop got that you should not shoot through hostages when the bad guy takes a hostage. (Cw: attempted sexual abuse: https://youtu.be/taWMwB1mLhc)
Yes, I overestimated the number of people who ever believed that, but the fact that it was clearly a nonzero number had been deterrent enough for me
Consider he was wrong about the creepy nerd stuff and perhaps he is wrong now. Bit it doesn't matter because one person hating him is already enough. This says a lot about him, just insane part of this article is him going: "they were mean to me so all Palestinians now should die". Unhinged shit. High amount of abuser logic here as well.
Also, doesnt he live in the US?
Really hope he doesnt teach students anymore because that will not end well.
E: he wrote an update, where he claims anti-zionists() are saying all kinds of things (which I thankfully have not seen any of them do, because wtf, those are some fucked up things to say). It really makes me wonder what kind of people he surrounds himself with, I mean we know he is allergic to sneerclub style people (and I have always suggested we keep away as he seems to need therapy not a debate (see how he considers people who agree with him decent people and the other side not, and he doesn't just consider everybody decent people with the wrong opinions (and there is the event where he send a former sneerclubber back at us, according to the sneerclubber, but there is no reason to believe the former SCer on his word there))) but he is less allergic to debate neo-nazis in his surroundings wonder if that is a cause of it. I get why he says Jewish people are scared (I do consider saying 'Jewish people' when you mean Israelis a form of anti-Semitism but lets not go there), but just nuts he doesn't extend this to Palestinian people or Arab/Persian people in the region. (And don't take this for me being a fan of Hamas here(), which I also would rather see gone than stay, but killing everybody will not solve that, it will only make things worse, see as an example the Taliban)
: This should not come as a big surprise to people, as I tend to be weird about the usage of a lot of words, but I generally try to avoid the word zionist because it is inflammatory, and badly defined and usage generally muddies things and not makes things clearer (for example Albert Einstein was a zionist, but he supported the Palestinian people so it is a bit more complicated, sorry I'm odd like that, see also how I almost always say neo-nazi not just nazi (because at least the nazis didn't know where they would end up they just didn't care, neo-nazis know and they still choose it). Just quoting him. And yes, I'm doing the Rationalist word taboo thing here, I know.
A rant about how I learned of the existence of Hamas and Dutch culture.
: While I'm already doing a lot of sidenotes here, I do recall where I first learn of the existence of Hamas (I was more aware of the PLO, as their scarf was popular among alternative people), from Dutch Soccer, the Amsterdam team is seen as Jewish (there is no reason for that at all, it is just a weird claim, while yes most of the Dutch Jews now live in Amsterdam there is very little connection between them and the team, and general we have been pretty bad to Dutch Jews historically, a bit of philosemitism (which is a form of anti-Semitism)) and of course they have a sort of feud with the Rotterdam team. Who started to shout 'Hamas Hamas, alle joden aan het gas' (hamas, gas the jews) during matches (and it isn't just their team a lot of others do it). This is so important to the these soccer fans that now despite finally realizing this is not a good look (see Dutch people bad re Jewish people) they still want to keep the 'hamas hamas' part because it is tradition. They just wanted a different rhyme. I think about this a lot, and how normalized it was/is, esp as we are doing the 'immigrants are anti-Semites' bit during election times again.
Democratic presidential nominee (E: this is a dark joke) for 2028 (vs trump of course) Newsom is doing a bit of ironic memecoin corruption. So many blueanon people are going to lose money if he goes along with this.
I really hope he is going to use this as a 'use the controversy to reveal the corruption of the system' style thing (in .nl a tv-show did this where they made a gameshow in which people who needed a new kidney could get one, as a ruse to spread awareness to ask for more donors and everybody participating was informed of this from the start (led to 12k new donors at least)). But I really doubt it.
Also important to note on the image, looks like the new style ones are not all real. Some of the details look off which makes me suspect it is AI generated. Esp the pizza hut one.
Mentioned it on bsky, more externalizing of the costs of their product. And due to vpns will not even work in a lot of cases. (And also prob gdpr illegal).
E: A big reason why this kind of stuff is in there and prob very hard to get rid of is places like alt.suicide.holiday which have been online for ages, and are from what I can tell not considered bad places by the experts.
Various indicators have been in the 'crash incoming' for years now. And keeping in that state for longer than normal. Which is making me feel (spurred by Talebs thinking that you either have regular small crashes or irregular catastrophic big ones. which he wrote thinking we were already in the latter era) like we are in big trouble. But it doesn't seem to be crashing. And even the authoritarian bs isnt pushing us into the crash territory.
Doesnt help that sex workers seem the be doing badly for a while now. Which is imho always a nice informal indicator.
Note I dont know what a cracker barrel is irl, as we dont have them here. But my view of the bsky socials was 'rebrand sucks, dont really care, wow why are the right so obsessed over this' culminating in people talking about how these kinds of stores are a simulacrum of a cozy mom n pop store and people are unknowningly mad about losing even the simulacrum, and how this is all due to capitalism. (More commercialization than capitalism imho, but capitalism did speed up the process). Just as rainbow capitalism will betray you in the search for more profit so will cozy capitalism.
E: update on the story "Cracker Barrel's Pride page now redirects to its "Culture and Belonging" page, removing its LGBTQ+ Alliance and DEIB Team." And while I didn't know CB, this ensures I will never eat there if I ever have a chance.
