[Dr CactusCocktail @CactusCocktail]

@Aella_Girl Should be discussed as part of a healthy relationship.

Due to the high cost of energy, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

Quote of the day

@TimWilsonMP Our collective memory isnt this short mate.

[Rational Aussie @rationalaussie]

It is an unfortunate consequence of human nature that those who seek power are rarely those fit to wield it.

As AI-driven layoffs increase, we will see existing employees at companies treated significantly worse, because those managing them will know they can fire them at any time and get a replacement at 70% the cost.

Not only will this collapse the economy, it will, without a shadow of a doubt, cause social revolutions on a scale which would shock most people reading this today.

The only choice for the permanent underclass is to not accept their position in it.

If they accept the UBI, accept the slave mindset, tolerate disrespect from the 'elite', accept the tech bro argument that the world is getting better even though their lived experience is one of subjugation, corruption and decay - they are finished; we all are.

Why is this silly man wearing a yamulke to a book launch when no Jews are wearing one? It’s not a religious place.
Does he think you have to wear one when you’re with Jews? They’ll be laughing at him. Good

@bryan_johnson @_katetolo Most of my Aussie mates think youre a completely self absorbed weirdo.
Anyway good luck. Enjoy Australia.

[Dr CactusCocktail @CactusCocktail]

Not a bombshell. Its obvious.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Massive bombshell. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah warns that AI will displace human labor on a catastrophic global scale. He confirms tech elites have absolutely no mechanism to share the wealth, leaving the global poor completely abandoned to suffer. He is 100% accurate.

So Ive just realised @elonmusk has been limiting views on every single post about @Israel or the @IDF

[Dr CactusCocktail @CactusCocktail]

These people pay 125k a year to be coached plus 2k a month.
If they can pay that theyre already winning, but their obviously complete psychopaths and they want to 'win' more.

[Nick @xNickOnline]

I still cannot fathom that people pay bro $125,000 to join his brotherhood.

We live in a simulation.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@mudscryer There for our amusement.

[Dr CactusCocktail @CactusCocktail]

This is so true and why I found my ex gf and lots of my workmates very frustrating.

[Jøhnathan @Heavenly_Race_]

Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.

It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.

A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:

Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."

Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.

Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.

Both walk away frustrated.

Both have wasted each others time.

@dezpill @scaredmoneybrrr Da Nang is just another ruined expat shithole like major areas in Bali and Thailand are.
There are much better locations. And Im not telling anyone where they are.

AI 'knows' nothing except the data its sourcing and this is indeed a death spiral to infinite nonsense being sold as facts.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

I came across a theory that AI is starting to make more mistakes because the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I hope it is true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.
