I used to hear about it IRL and now I don’t idk

no type of racist is more rabid than the genteel racist

just remembering this perfect video about ironic-not-ironic fascism

not a cult btw

Our sessions and guests spanned a wide range of topics: grifting and grifting, of course; but also grifting, grifting, racism, grifting, racism, racism, racism and more.

being disliked by racists is the optimal outcome my dude it’s actually good

mods can you please ban “david gerard” or whatever his name really is. ai hate is already out of hand without people coming to push their agenda like this

headline is inaccurate and downplays the incredible potential of ai. Google Gemini tried to kill this person AND their entire family

autoincorrect

why would rationalists do something difficult and scary in real life, when they could be wanking each other off with crank fanfiction and buying castles manor houses for the benefit of the future

each sneer is drafted and redrafted for at least thirty hours prior to exposure to the internet, but in truth, that’s only the last stage of a long process. for example, master sneerers often practice their lip curls for weeks before they even begin looking at yud posts

he’s been openly a nazi propagandist pretty much since he took over twitter. they are hiding black crime stats from you.png, “this is the actual truth,” etc. without saying “I am literally a Nazi” or “we should do holocaust” I genuinely don’t know how much more open he can be about it

also good to point out for someone just finding out about this:

(1) The name is a lie in the same way “the democratic people’s republic of north korea” is. So Peckham is absolutely correct that the Nazis hated socialists and were not socialists, as evidenced by the fact that they tried to kill all of them.

(2) The modern version of this lie is pretending the Nazis were socialists, and it’s a very common tactic in the far right. So Peckham is correct that we should not call them socialists, it’s just that using the term “national socialist” doesn’t actually imply you think they are socialists.

(3) They did spring originally from the fusing of former socialist idealogues with the far right. So as with many massively successful lies there is a distant evolutionary relationship to something true.

alright well now we have the perfect response to half the people who pop in from lemmy.world

my friend started working for a company that does rlhf for openai et al, and every single day I wish I could post to you guys about the bizarre shit she sees this company do. they’re completely off the rails

doesn’t seem like it has great potential

how exactly did he get googly eyes on a pencil. big “then an eagle flew around the classroom” energy
