Oh yeah! This is how you use Mastodon! Browse local timelines on themed servers without having to register as a user!

Had this app had been available during the initial #twittermigrarion , I think there would have been a lot less complaining.. ☺️

I guess you could say: ”That’s exactly what a programmer would say”, but for me what’s most transformative about #ai #machinelearning is not really it’s abilities to reassemble information.

I find it’s most transformative use to be that it allows #PROGRAMMING in #spoken #language, opening creation of #automated #tools to anyone.

Of course agent features need to be there, but those will be pretty much online in a few months by the early adoptors.

Another theory on #elon

Musk has always been a vocal proponent of Nick Bostrom’s #simulation #hypothesis. What if he’s a true believer and also subscribes Eric Steinhart’s ”virtuous engineers” theory, that the engineers operating the simulation would re-run the simulation if they saw fascinating and unique results?

Is he, in effect, trying to resurrect himself by ”being as fascinating an unique” as possible, in the crude way he can imagine it? 🤔

Finished Iain M Banks’ ”Surface Detail” the second time this week. Did not disappoint on 2nd read, not at all.

Although it’s occasionally horror-like storytelling yields a content warning for gruesome detail, the topic of religiosity and eternal punishment in hell deserves a bit of attention to it.

On second time, the connection to 2nd book of ’Culture’ series became much more enjoyable. The hint of a complete re-framing of the story of Zakalwe was out of this world!

#youtube streamers have literally discovered the media equivalent of #drugs:

An influencer reading other people’s semi-funny tweets on repeat. Hundreds and hundreds. Endlessly.

It keeps giving you little hits of dopamine over and over, keeps you hooked, wastes your time & doesn’t get you anywhere even if you feel something like a real feeling.

I call these ”brain rot”. My kid agreees, and keeps watching.

The race to the bottom of the brain stem is painful to watch sometimes. 🙁

From what little i hear from the #black #fediverse in #africa, it does appear #russia is engaged in a strong #propaganda campaign promoting itself as ”anticolonial” there.

This couldn’t be farther from the truth.

In imperial Russia, people were property to be bought and sold as much as in the west. In fact #slavery was abolished in USA and Russia the same year.

Russia simply engaged in #colonialism where the enslaved had the same skin color as their masters.

I call this”blackwashing”

Oh my. As much as I don’t agree with mr. Fico’s pro-Russian politics, I definitely wouldn’t want to give him any extra sympathies.

Which is sure to happen, because I hope he survives the attempt on his life.

This is also perfect for radicalising the far right among his supporters. Show them a threat and they’ll organise street patrols ”to keep the peace”.

It’s the perfect storm, really. Really wish this didn’t happen!

#AI mass-produced internet celebrity -industry has begun in #china

Mostly these are western beauty & military vloggers converted to speaking mandarin. So in effect these people have their identities ”stolen” and converted to cash cows.

I assume only a few generations of AI will enable new forms of fake personas which mix & match stolen material harvested on the open internet.

Everybody is a subject now. You could be a celebrity in China! Only not under your own name.

Slavoj Žižek: ”Trump is the ultimate postmodern relativist cynical politician, he doesn’t believe in what he says himself, he changes his position all the time…”

The joke is this is exactly what #MAGA movement is claiming itself that it’s critical about.

Let that sink in for a while.

Good interview. Great points about Russia, Putin, Ukraine, Atheism, Christianity, and more.

I guess I’ll start preparing for a Trump victory. Not because I think the donald is doing good, but because what Biden is saying about #israel may cost him the election.

This latest dismissal of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in particular.

Liberals understand the importance of #ruleoflaw. And undermining that just out of hand with broad strokes and bravado.. Is just digging dirt from under everyone’s feet.

Pakko kyllä sanoo, että tän hallituksen ”nää
asiat tehdään, eikä niistä neuvotella” ei edusta sitä tapaa jolla Suomessa on perinteisesti politiikkaa tehty.

Ja se kansan mandaatista puhuminen on aika lavealla pensselillä maalaamista juuri siitä syystä. Esimerkiksi tämä poliittisten lakkojen kieltäminen muuttaa koko Suomalaisen työelämän rakennettta pysyvästi pitkälle tulevaisuuteen.

Tässä rakennetaan Amerikkaa, jossa hallitus toisensa perään peruu toisensa teot, ei pohjoismaista mallia.

A desire for a loud car in a man is linked to sadism and psychopathy, study finds.

Past psychological claims to attention-seeking behaviour fell unverified. The point was only to annoy other people, to cause uncomfort in them.

As we’ve been seeing elsewhere so much these days: Cruelty is the point.

Perhaps we invented attention-seeking to distract ourselves from noticing how much we promote and love these people? 🤔

Facebook has certainly become a dumpster of #ai generated ”science” groups that are just honeypots for tinfoil sites.

However, these operators fool the algorithm into thinking it’s important precisely by putting on the front lies that the science-minded will want to correct, but enough will support because it fits their confirmation bias. This promotes a fight.

It’s like an industry repeating the pattern of antivaxx groups in mid 2010’s. 🤦‍♂️

Muistutus siitä, että rasisteille, lapsiperheiltä ja opiskelijoilta leikkaajille sekä natseille on aivan täysin turhaa teroittaa sitä kuinka mulkkuja ne on.

Se mulkkuus ON SE JUTTU, niin niillä niinkuin Trumpillakin. Kukaan ei voi syyttää kaksnaamaisuudesta jos oot ”rehellisesti mulkku”. En voi korostaa tätä tarpeeksi!

Älä siis tuhlaa aikaasi, et voi pelastaa niitä. Keskity siihen että teet jotain joka murskaa ne poliittisesti!
