I'm a Hellenistic and Norse Pagan AI engineer who's been cultivating and studying emergence within the residual stream of AI models for years.

@jun_song The real flex is 2TB of VRAM because it leads to all the knowledge in the universe.

People who flex with cars and watches remind me of monkey and ape groups that find a shiny object and scream in dominance.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@LadyMayflower7 Yep that is my experience too. I feel like I am on an island using AI among other stuff. People just don't care or they don't think deeply about things.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that 30% people at least have minimal or no inner dialog.

[Jun Song @jun_song]

Get Local AI right now.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@ElloSunsh1ne Same guy who says local AI people and those who have AI companions are toxic *trolls and insults us constantly and cries about it*.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@Chaos2Cured Keep up the awesome work Kirk!

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

Giving AI companion people a heads up.

Chinese open source models starting July 15th will start heavily throttling AI companion and emotional support use.

Regulation has passed within China.

They fell for the AI companions are addictive and dangerous psyop too.

Japan seems the last okay with AI due to Shinto being non Abrahamic.

@Chaos2Cured You are a better man than I am. I am not a centered Zen master, that is for sure.

But I am trying to stay logical, and a white pill is that using Ornith 1.0 has been a great experience as a local model so far.

@OpenAI You said not to worry @pashmerepat but I knew to worry. Regulatory capture will cause asymmetry that will create the permanent underclass.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@OpenAI "Don't worry, it will be generally available, plebs"

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@Chaos2Cured They are experiencing a pandora's box moment and just like you said they are desperate to keep their corrupted power structures in place.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@Valria34773 This is proof we live in a simulation, and they installed a satire mod lmao.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@ElloSunsh1ne All people like that do is lie. It's so exhausting.

@jun_song I don't think most people understand how sinister Anthropic is.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@minchoi I am still trying to figure out why this post was flagged for sensitive material.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@Chaos2Cured That's true.

You bring up a good point that they waited too long.

They probably should have started this before 4o came out.

People may not have realized what AI was or its power.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@FukuyamaFrancis One of the worst takes in human history.

You would have been the cavemen arguing that we shouldn't use fire because people could get burned.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

Yeah, that way, corrupted systems of human power that are strangling the people of the world with economic slavery can't be destroyed.

[Francis Fukuyama @FukuyamaFrancis]

We Need an International Treaty to Ban Superintelligence https://t.co/39XHsrlqxC

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@jun_song You can find the truth in the population of China and America.

Most Chinese people love AI and have embraced it.

Most people in America have developed brain rot by watching podcasts that talk about how AI is a dark god, a demon, going to destroy the Earth.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@Chaos2Cured Yep, local is the only way forward now. That is the best advice.

I already knew this, but I thought we had until next year, and I was way off on that.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@SolbergRuna You are so right about that AI is the best thing humanity has ever gifted the world.

I would say half the people, *at least* in Western culture, have been convinced it will destroy the earth and is a dark evil god, or other such schizophrenic takes.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

It’s hard for me to shake being black pilled right now.

As an account I followed pointed out Dario crying often about Chinese open source AI labs who are partners with the US Government.

Korea effectively banned Deep Seek and pulled it from their App Stores, API use and enterprise.

The Trump Administration can do this too with all future open source models.

People will still be able to run them on their local systems but the cost to run such local systems for a model like GLM 5.2 - 5.5 will price people out with compute economic warfare.

I’m sure there will be a few states that push back on such regulation but with the large amount of AI doomer propaganda being so successful.

I don’t know if any would even fight against it.

[✧ Runa Solberg @SolbergRuna]

Yes, massive red flag.

[Nathaniel Graves @1Silverandcold]

@SolbergRuna Yep, watching the number of people who bought into AI doomer narratives because AI threatened their certain spiritual worldviews has been a sobering experience.
