So this means some absolute geopolitical bullshit is gonna drop in the next week and they’re laying the patter early.

So this means some absolute geopolitical bullshit is gonna drop in the next week and they’re laying the patter early.
In that thread: techbro crackers doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics to keep glazing C-suite techlord low-quarters.
Unfortunately, I can’t be. None of my creative tools work on Linux, and the alternatives all have less functionality and/or a steeper learning curve.
I genuinely don’t know why I bother reading the HN comment sections on some of these posts; I should’ve known it’d devolve into techbro reaction.
Mmm. Maybe if it was Korea Actual instead of Occupied Korea, but…
Cool. So Substack’s going to turn into a nazi bar sooner or later. Any better-moderated services for the purpose, or am I better off just writing a raw website for blogging on myself?
Here’s hoping this means the Great Destroyer has found evidence of our existence and will begin approaching the Origin System.
Sometimes, reading HN comment sections reminds me that about 99.8% of techbro-dom is filled with varieties of sociopathy stark and malignant enough to make even Patrick Bateman blush. Today’s one of those days. “I’m gonna ignore the thousands of people that just got shunted into having to file unemployment while they dig for jobs in the worst unemployment crisis my generation’s seen thus far; and go as far as to imply that the bank account of a C-suite scumbag matters more than the morale and loyalty of the ‘must-keep’ employees, and matters MUCH more than the employees we just consigned to unemployment, bounced bills, and potential homelessness!”
Disgusting.

I see the bosses need their monthly bootlicking.

Having read both the HN section on this and the substack post itself, I’ve still not come away from the concept of ‘effective altruism’ feeling any type of way other than “wow, this is just the same sociopathic narcissism that billionaire ‘philanthropy’ was before it, just with an added dash of techbro Manson family energy, isn’t it?”
When you have to make continued defenses for your ivy league money cult when said ivy league money cult keeps fumbling bags and shitting on the potential good name of the technology they claim to care about, it’s not the best of looks
As expected, the HN section got hilarious. A selection of choice hwhite techbro nonsense:
Is it really that depressing to you that people would rather talk to their favourite person than some lady shouting about how shoelaces are racist and misogynist?
I will fight labels using my labels. Then it’s simply a label race to the bottom.
As long as my girlfriend is open source I’d very much prefer it to paying random women to care about me on onlyfans. It is the end for proprietary gfs
Synthetic simping at scale. Holly molly.
I spit on Elon Musk and everything his brand is stamped on. Tfu.
Fuck no. They ain’t paid me for using my data for their myriad skullduggerous bullshit behind the scenes. When I start getting paid per-document for everything of mine they use to train their LLMs and shit, that’s the day I consider paying for YT Premium-- and even then I probably won’t; cause the shit STILL costs too much per month.
Site-side HN comment section licking corpo boots as usual. Youtube’s insistence on pushing ads into my face when I go out of my way in all circumstance and facility to not get advertised to was enough to push me to Invidious and Freetube. Any further, and I’ll just go back to torrenting, and death to Google on the way.
I see Zuul is manifesting into our reality.
Please tell me you’re fucking about
Granted I don’t think anything will happen to Firefox for a while; but please tell me you’re fucking about
Until the models are constructed to account for the kind of noise that Nightshade throws, and work to countermand it. It’s the same cat-and-mouse game that malware makers play with antivirus makers. Or youtuber and ad blockers. This will only make plagiarist AI stronger, sad to say.
