so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected

the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds
53MB of source code leaked from a government endpoint. 269 verification checks. biometric face databases. SAR filings to FinCEN. and the same company that verifies your ChatGPT account.

It really works! A year ago, I still had lots of FB friends posting AI "art". I was nicely talking to them about it at first, but nothing changed until I got mean about it. Zero AI in my feed now, and half those people have joined in being staunchly anti-AI. We gotta be mean!
none of the reasonable and nuanced arguments ever seem to dissuade people who think AI is good so it's time to start being unreasonable and mean!
the thing they think is good looks like shit! tell them they suck! tell them they've diminished themselves in your eyes. hurt their feelings about it!

im not falling for ‘you can’t just scold gen AI hobbyists’ like ive fallen for so many ‘be diplomatic and patient with idiots’es before. no. if they can’t live without this machine that’s trying to put me out of a job theyre dumb as a box of hair. like they’re clearly not worried about offending ME!

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit
you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

This is the thing I think trolls, etc don't understand: Once I block you I literally never think about you again. Shit, five minutes after I block someone I don't remember who they are or why I blocked them. They simply and literally don't exist for me anymore. If this is a victory for you, fine.
Some of y’all must have a blocking kink. It’s weird — you’re intentionally rude, obstinate or worse — in my replies as it daring me to block you as it gains you something. I won’t remember two minutes from now.

It's a good point, good taste always smells of privilege . But the masses had their own tastes, their own counterculture. Now there is slop.
But we must not forget we do this to ourselves, like a tsunami filling a void.
We regress, our basic needs are not met, only escape and sedation work.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.
