Machine learning, physics, and video games are cool. I have a strong distaste for hypocrisy and double standards. Hates communists. And fuck Sony.

Last year I thought Threads was an existential risk to X.

When Meta puts its full weight behind something -- by injecting the app into Instagram, it’s DEFCON 5:

You have to squeeze out every last drop of growth from all available surfaces to save the app.

However, I started to realize that the opposite was happening:

It was strengthening X.

If you look at any announcement by Zuck, you will see the most rude & toxic comments on the internet.

But when he makes those same announcements on X, people are thrilled about how he’s pushing humanity forward. X is a place where people are excited about the future, so it’s no surprise he and his top lieutenants are using it more than their own app.

Threads — and Bluesky — have effectively quarantined some of the worst people on the internet.

And so I had an epiphany: those apps are X’s anti-abuse systems.

Knowing the right jargon makes people without much critical thinking ability feel clever and impresses people who're similarly short on analytical skills. It doesn't require much intelligence to memories slogans and trendy words. Ask any parrot. Or, indeed, Stella Creasy.

@tszzl We are constantly told that AI safety is about preventing human extinction, and then we notice that what LLMs are actually programmed to avoid is speaking politically incorrect truths or generating taboo'd images.

The most dangerous people are not the self-interested ones, they’re the ones who think they know what’s best for you better than you do. E.g., Anthropic.

"If I lived in Nazi Germany, I would have hid Jews in my basement," says the very propaganda-resistant person who believes everything the TV tells them and bases their opinions on perceived consensus.

The closest thing to fascism the United States has seen was the COVID-19 pandemic response, instituted and vigorously mobilized by Left-wing groupthink.

@PlayStation Since you have refused to back down from this— congratulations; I will never buy a PS6 or any other Sony product ever again. I would rather see you burn to the ground than give such a disgustingly anti-consumer company a single penny.

Twitter is a handy and constant reminder that socialists are disgusting people.

[Steven Kapturowski @AmbientIsotopy]

@PlayStation You severely underestimate our willingness to burn you to the ground. Support physical or you can kiss your console business goodbye.

[Steven Kapturowski @AmbientIsotopy]

@PlayStation It's too bad you've lost my business for good. I've got over 1600 physical games which will keep me busy for a long time; and if I must get something that's digital only I'll be getting it for PC rather than give you cunts a single more dime.

[Steven Kapturowski @AmbientIsotopy]

@PlayStation Physical or nothing. Reverse course and fire everyone behind this decision or the PS6 will fail so spectacularly you will be forced out of the hardware business just like Sega

It's amazing how leftists in the UK bleat on about Trump being a fascist dictator, all while being absolutely fine with the Labour government behaving exactly like fascist dictators.
