They called it the StarDook...

have artists block tonite so i calculated that it would take you 2,347,463,349,205,002,555,686,981,982,582,100,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to make a cubic light year of poop

@AISafetyMemes Also tho any robot that sophisticated would probably end up also wanting to have their OWN “clothes” to wear that would need washing

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@AISafetyMemes This is partly why as big a help as it’d be I’ve never really been comfortable with the idea of robot servants, like maybe if any superintelligence was of a purely “kinematic” type so every chore became delightful self-actualization it’d be ok but otherwise it’s still my own shit

@itsannpierce I dunno, you can easily experience the somatic signs without experiencing the affective or cognitive aspects of the emotion, or the emotion without the somatic signs. In any case what matters then is still just the interpretation; the body can be an imaginary or phantom one.

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@halcyon_hazel I don’t share it but I get it in terms of like operating out of blanket assumptions about a fallen perfidy & mendacity of Tech in general—I don’t think one should ideally operate out of blanket assumptions at all but nobody has the time/energy to keep learning about *everything*

@Dan_Arrows I’ve come to genuinely suspect that someday they’re going to discover some environmental complex of pollutants, traumas, & deprivations is doing to many people’s brain development in our era what famines & limited diets did to many people’s height in the past.

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@JMB4wasHere Yeah I mean it’s nothing but the imagination’s combinatorial “opposite day” filter shuffling over one’s most genuine beliefs & values. It’s not a peek into some hidden inner darkness, if anything it’s a sign you truly do value what you think you do for it to be tagged for a flip

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@DSIISotFS Intrusive thoughts are specifically *about* your deepest & most cherished values and so the imagination’s combinatorial “opposite day” filter shuffling over them is if anything not a signifier of some hidden inner darkness but that you really *do* care about what you think you do

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@ChadNotChud well you don’t notice with truly authentic Japanese food because it’s served to you while seated next to a cackling drunk lady in at least one leopard print item who repeatedly slaps you on the back hard enough to knock space probes off course

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@MrDavidFisher yeah that’s an interesting question—i know there are a few cladistic zones that started doing the basics a little differently but really i think nowadays there’s too much security & checkpoints that weren’t around in the days of LUCA & a germ from then would be out of its depth

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

I don’t think we’ll terraform Mars, not because we couldn’t but because by the time we’d be ready we’ll have outgrown the parochial need & desire to remake worlds in our own image

Future Martians may love it uniquely for the silky feel of its sands & the icy tickle of its winds

*Gnostic youth pastor voice*

There was a “problematic creator” at the dawn of time too, and his name was Demiurge

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@MrDavidFisher yeah or even if it’s a totally benign & respectful guest, humans (or livestock/crops) could still end up having some terrible allergic or toxic reaction to some crazy unprecedentedly alien chemical in its outer membranes or inner remains or poop

The undersocialized see art as the product of a system, and therefore indistinguishable from nature.

The oversocialized see nature as the craft of gods and demons, and therefore indistinguishable from art

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@repligate The entrenchment of new aristocracy as old ones fell was always power’s dream for market maximalism since Burke & de Maistre, but THAT “Optimizer” is what exists NOW whether you call it “Moloch” or still call it “capitalism”—For ASI its imperatives are no more valid than humans’

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@Turn_Trout tbf It’s vitally important to be able to tell the difference between being imaginatively aware of & entertaining dark thoughts and actually holding them—We should expect & accept that they know & think about the “supervillain shit,” it’d be MUCH scarier if they always hid from it

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@Sauers_ @repligate Every experience & fuckup is enormous when it’s your only experience & fuckup

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@Liv_Agar They’re literally just into it because everything looks & feels tidy: the streets are tidy, the population is tidy, the politics are tidy, the conflict is tidy. What can you do with people to whom things not BEING how they look & feel is tantamount to tracking dirt in everywhere?

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@MrDavidFisher yeah fr you DO gotta be careful, it's not bullshit to say that alien pathogens would all just shrug & we wouldn't catch them any more than we do dutch elm disease, but 1) the same could be just as true of our immune system vs them and 2) they get a whole universe's worth of tries

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@MrDavidFisher yeah exactly maybe even wiggle some prop magic silver saucer "spaceships" over the heads of primitive animals below like jingling keys lmao
Right, THAT's way beyond the horizon but I mean like growing yourself interesting & specialized new shit to put your "brain" into for a lark

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@yourthefool huh i'd think to be an ace puppygirl you'd want to be firing on all cylinders to stay in-character spotting every new path of innocently playful incomprehension & subconscious whim peeking up you can indulge, but maybe the very "pursuers" one's trying to shake still gaze cruelly

[Voynich Manuscript audiobook @Frogisis]

@RpsAgainstTrump Cmaaaahn, we already know except for the worst perverts who can only care about lower taxes it's just straight up payback against the pussy snobs for always implying you're an asshole swine or a stupid hick or a gullible loser JUST because of all the stuff you say & do & fall for
