Fascists love to unironically identify with their caricatures.

Haha we tricked the people who control the government into saying they're the bad guys, they'll never recover from this.

Delusional thinking

CacZarn 🇵🇸 @caczarn.bsky.social · 3d

Liberals really think we can outflank the fascists with little rhetorical tricks.

They do not use language the way normal people do. Quit capitualiting and changing your language every time they decide to weaponize a new term

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Very funny how TMNT is a set aimed at children and the only people I see excited for it are Millennials

Maybe, but I really don't think magic would have gone this way if edh hadn't exploded as basically the only way to play casual magic during the pandemic.

CacZarn 🇵🇸 @caczarn.bsky.social · 5d

Covid killed magic, it just took half a decade for it to die

Promises #MTG

We're going to print outside intellectual properties on Magic cards using reskins and silver borders.
Wotc
Actually, we'll print the outside properties in black border, but we'll also offer in-universe versions.
Wotc
Actually, we won't offer in-universe versions, but uB won't be legal in Standard.
Wotc
Actually, UB will be legal in Standard, but only half of the sets will be uB.
Wotc
Actually, there'll be four uB sets and three in-universe sets in 2026, but it'll be half and half in 2027.

Don't you believe us?

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · Apr 28

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 10d

This weird faux leftist pro-AI shit is designed to work in spaces and areas where the tech fascists already completely control the discourse like the Bay, it's for people who are way further down the tech fascist radicalization path than we are so when we get

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 10d

ICE is illegally raiding apartments in minority neighborhoods and Trump is trying to deploy the national guard to suppress dissent and people are really out here wasting their time arguing that LLM bigotry is a thing ??? please wake up and care about literally anything that matters

The tech echo chamber is so fucking wild. A bunch of what were largely assumed to be some of the smartest among us (they obviously aren't but nevertheless) hopped up on VC money trying to reinvent the wheel and getting upset when the wheel they invented is too square for normal people to use.

CacZarn 🇵🇸 @caczarn.bsky.social · 10d

None of these things ever really make money, they're just cool as hell and some companies like making things that are cool as hell. Wizards decided it doesn't like making things that are cool as hell for the sake of it because it runs at a loss

"i'm completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron"

Quote post from bsky engineer @hailey.at reads:
"an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you'd agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing "dna" with "bits" doesn't make it ok"

follow up post from hailey reads:
"if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go 'oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person' (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that"

classic tweet from @sumbitches reading "I bet this shit hits so hard if you're stupid"

classic tweet from @chloscialism reading:
"'i hate cigs' now replace cigs with women. not so funn, is it?"

its impossible to dehumanise an LLM because its not human. its impossible to be bigoted towards an LLM is because its not a person. we can all engage in our little sophistries of "oh but your brain also uses electrons" but at the end of the day one of us is a person and one is not
