The radio signals we broadcast are escaping into outer space, creating a radio layer, that's ever expanding at the speed of light.

Meaning, some alien somewhere somewhen is watching our TV.

Moreover, the first broadcasts that were sufficiently powerful to break through our ionosphere took place in the late 1930s.

Meaning, the first thing they'll see is probably Hitler.

Man, no wonder nobody comes to say "hello". I bet our dumpster fire of a planet is a wicked show, though.

Уже 18 мая состоится ночь музеев.
В Центре «Сибирь-Хоккайдо» в Новосибирске эта ночь посвящена музыке. Я буду рассказывать про сямисэн, играть, а так же все желающие смогут под моим присмотром поиграть на сямисэне.

I'm afraid no one will get what they want from all that "AI" craze.

Techbros will not get an AI-filled world they want.

But anti-AI folks like me will also not get back a world without AI they want.

It will not prosper, but it will not fail miserably like "metaverse" did - It will become yet another mundane thing that sometimes get technically better, and usually becomes more evil in the process, but no one will bat an eye because of how mundane it is.

I think it may as well become "autotune" of writers and programmers (not for artists, IMHO), a thing that everyone will be ashamed to admit they are using because it means they are "not the real deal", but most will still use.

It doesn't mean we cannot change anything, but the change to the world at large won't be as drastic as we expect.

@untsuki Fuck autotune shaming. Autotune is awesome when applied correctly. Ask rappers, it can be an artistic effect in its own right.

As for AI... Well...

@untsuki By the way.

There's an air of superiority surrounding the notion of AGI. Like, it will be so objective, and so much smarter than us, it will never make mistakes, yadda-yadda.

I think it's bollocks. Even when we reach conscious AGI (and we probably will, there's nothing ultimately special about our minds), yeah, it will be smarter than me and you, and probably everyone, but as for objectivity and infallibility part... I genuinely think it will be as confused and clumsy as we are.

Because making mistakes and fucking up is baked directly into intelligence and consciousness. It's how it becomes its own thing. It's called subjectivity, because there's a subject in there, with agency - and that's what we want to achieve. So... I would not trust it any more than I can trust any other intelligent being.

There's a difference between "being conservative" and "being a conservative".

The former meaning "honouring traditions and customs" or just "generally sticking to time-proven solutions, to what works", and the latter meaning "behaving like a reactionary jingoistic twat".

By the way, I'm conservative regarding lots of stuff in my life. I'm basically a creature of habit.

@viesill1n Нам бы пригодилось, честно говоря, подтянуть тебе навыки и подубрать юношеский максимализм. Потом можно искать проблемы и предлагать решения, а.к.а. делать действительно полезные штуки.

I've been contemplating my heel-face turn from a pessimistic edgelord to a proudly, albeit cautiously, optimistic person.

And it's not self-deceit. It's not like I've stopped seeing the terrible darkness at the bottom of everything. I just realized, over the years, that dwelling on it gets you nowhere, and it, sure as hell, does as much to help the situation as shouting at an ATM gets you richer.

Pessimism, much like loneliness, is intoxicating and highly addictive. It's poison, it's fucking heroin. It drains your willpower, it lulls you in that insidiously blissful sense of "there's no point an anything, and I'm superior to the plebs around me for seeing it", and "You don't have to do anything, what's the point, you're so clever". It kills you from the inside.

@ZySoua I know, right! It's fantastic!
