@JTLonsdale imagine the hubris needed to believe ppl are going to decide where we build blackhole powered generators? you actually think if we get something infinitely intelligent enough to harness a bh, that human judgement would be relevant and there would still be a person in the loop? 😂
@damianplayer in 2026, instead of 4000 “dumb fucks” its millions. instead of trusting tech with innocuous data like “pics, addresses, sns” its your deepest thoughts, hopes, dreams, ideas, insecurities, fears, desires, worries. your traumas and medical information. people just dont care
@mujhehatao@teortaxesTex also reminder that they changed thier slogan from “dont be evil” to “do the right thing” because the former frames the idea in a way which evokes vigilance against wrongdoing, while oppositely, the later is easily distorted into a justification for it
@BolognaFishMD@statelessmed “im just flower lover”
“well, im a flower-giver lover so were compatible so far”
😂🙈holy shit no wonder they just want your money dude. this is like a 2/10 reply unironically
@BolognaFishMD@eigenrobot this kind of person generally has so many red flags, that if you were falling in love with them after only three dates, its kinda scary for you. like, you either intentionally ignored or were unable to notice
@QiaochuYuan “inner work involves this super special type of activity no one has ever named!!” kinda wild that you’ve never heard anyone describe self reflection. adding a harry potter flavor to it doesnt make it a new concept.
@ledytoss um how dare you slander this mans genius? in reality, this is an essay intro, but could it be deeper than that??? to me, parts of this “essay intro” could be a book.
@kasratweets its not just that the quality of what we consume is being degraded to become more slop-like. our quality of mind is also degraded. we are after all, what we eat. like pigs eagerly gorging themelves on slop. slowly we become farm animals, harvested for attention instead of bacon.
@nkreu113r anytime IJ is mentioned half of the replies will be from people who need to signal they they too have read it (and thus also belong to the hallowed and respected circle of infinite jest readers/enjoyers) instead of engaging with idea being discussed lol
@algoflows not just jane street. intelligence increasingly has been subverted by market forces away from meaningful sciences for all, into the selfish/frivolous pursuits of the rich. instead of geniuses using their gifts to better the world, they ultimately help to enslave and enslopify it.
