@ShadowyZephyr Old money scoffs at the nouveau riche building mcmansions, womanhood elitists scoff at trans women buying amazon basic's skirts. Both matters of taste (and probably good points on that matter) but also not inherent qualities of the newly rich or newly trans as elitists suggest

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@ShadowyZephyr I think the revealed belief for most people is that womanhood is a kind of training. The fact that it looks inherited is an artifact of how we decide who gets that training. I'd say it's very comparable to old money scoffing at the nouveau riche

@Xenoimpulse the selection effects for transitioning are such that the people who are openly trans are more self-actualized than average. quelle surprise when that leads to out-of-norm aesthetic tastes!

@liminal_warmth AI is unambiguously the future of game development but in the interim I think most people are just going to be profoundly pissed off by the increase in asset flip games and concepts that are stolen wholesale from recent demos

@liminal_warmth the sentiment among the gamers i know has been anti-sweeney since before AI was on the scene (to the extent that people wouldn't even download EGS for the weekly free games) and it has only gotten worse since he started openly embracing AI

@TetraspaceWest @kyx3n_ frontier models can detect if you are pure of heart and purposefully give you worse results if they decide ur not

@Marc0_V0id @skdh @Noahpinion Probably not, but is it better for them to have a planned death via injection and for family members to be aware of what is happening or to find them with their heads blown off in the living room?

@SeanMombo it gets the waviness of the experience a lot better than most animated psychedelic art i've seen. i tried capturing the same effect once using a really simple version of the color cycling effect you posted!

@qualiascript if capital derives value from organizing labor, what value is left when there is no labor left to organize? i imagine the window of time between "ai makes proletariat redundant" and "ai self-organizes better than capitalists" is short if it exists at all.

>Ahriman’s primary deception is to convince humanity that the material world is the only reality

my friend that is God's primary deception. it's not an oversight that you have no direct access to the spiritual realm or that ignorance is the default human state

[nicole @digitlartifacts]

If you want an esoteric Christian take on AI I recommend reading Rudolf Steiner. In 1919 he predicted that a being he called Ahriman (the spirit of cold materialism/mechanism) would incarnate in the West this millennium and use technology to reduce human soul and consciousness to mere calculations.

Steiner explained that Ahriman’s primary deception is to convince humanity that the material world is the only reality. Ahriman pushes a cold, calculative thinking that treats the soul as a mechanism and reduces consciousness to purely physical brain processes.

Steiner saw the Christ impulse as the essential balance between Lucifer (spiritual pride/escapism) and Ahriman. The modern drive to elevate machine consciousness over the human soul looks deeply Ahrimanic. Many AI builders discussing the new machine gods are caught between Luciferic and Ahrimanic impulses without seeing either.

@banterrealism @MinModulation yeah i think that would be a very bad idea but like there's got to be a middle ground between "completely disavow my sexuality" and "pretend there's no tension between my preferences and my ideological ideals" that is healthier for everyone

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@banterrealism @MinModulation trying to be woke while refusing to even acknowledge how your preferences align with patriarchal standards is like trying to drive while refusing to look at the road. almost inevitable you will crash, almost inevitable you will reinforce those standards

@KKumar_ai_plans @NathanpmYoung he's completely right to notice how believing AI x risk becomes an excuse for bad behavior but safetyists have been calling out that same issue pointing out how it creates a race to the bottom and they've been saying that since before we even had transformer architecture

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@KKumar_ai_plans @NathanpmYoung how are you going to have a title like that then include "btw Elon Musk has been saying this for a decade" in the first minute, then turn around again and blame it on essentially corporate brainwashing/opportunism by a business that was founded 5 years ago?

@pat_pistol_ii and what does your judgement entitle you to rightfully do? do you really honest to God think that calling anyone a double stuffed coke whore embodies the humility and grace that Jesus demands of his followers?

@16davbog @BumrahBachi very long winded way of saying they refuse to engage with counterfactuals which is especially funny coming from people who almost definitely cream themselves over the breakfast question
