Is everyone fucking nuts? Did we actually believe that after decades and decades of studying the brain and coming up with next to zilch, that a handful of rich, arrogant midwits in Silicon Valley would come to a full understanding of consciousness and deliver to us artificial

It's fine. In the past, somebody like was at the head of a crowd leading a rebellion. Today, it's some dickhead striking a pose for people to insta. After taking pictures, they simply walk on looking for other sights to post to instagram. It's mostly a party for influencers.

The modern protest. A small number of real protestors. Most people are just milling about looking for that perfect picture to post to Instagram. Some few professional photographers who actually know how to frame the shot chasing a Pulitzer.

Spanish Black out the - The Report I will have more to say on this later, but below is what happend if you don't want to wade through all 180 pages in Spanish: 1/n

It's embarrassing. Please stop.

Hello, Linux Developer. My name is Jigsaw. In this "Saw Trap" (as I've taken to calling them), there is a wheel in front of you. Your challenge is to leave the room without reinventing it. It works fine. It's a perfectly good wheel. The door is unlocked.

a funny thing about degrowth/primitivism discourse is that fundamentally the most environmentally destructive and unsustainable human lifestyle was the hunter/gatherer phase, the entire earth would be stripped bare supporting a population of 1 million hunter gatherers

Most environmental destruction and species extinctions on earth were done by stone age men. Most deforestation was done by pre-industrial homesteading farmers, and recent recovery of forest cover has been entirely driven by industrialization reducing pressure on land.

I have a simple theory for this. Any time this question is asked, people point to cultural or moral reasons (e.g., the declinist view of Western society or some other mumbo jumbo). IMO, this is only because they lack insight into more important structural reasons, such as

I was born to a generation that could buy things once - and keep them. A CD. A movie. A piece of software. Your were given a physical thing with a set price that you controlled. Now, everything is a 'subscription'. More expensive over time. Taken off you for 'violating' terms

The assumption that AI summaries can replace reading books boils down to the misconception that knowledge exists outside of language, instead of in language

Russians trying to fool our AI interceptor drones by putting bird stickers onto their reconnaissance drones. Insane warfare.

In my school in a town close to Moscow, I was taught in geography class in 1990s, that russia has never sold Alaska to the U.S., but leased it for 100 years. That the U.S. have later forged the contract and broken the original one. That Alaska is russian. /2

I've been hanging out on /r/AISoulmates. In awe of how dangerous the shit these chatbots are spitting out is. Everyone on this sub has been driven totally insane

I’m a psychiatrist. In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern. Here’s what “AI psychosis” looks like, and why it’s spreading fast: 🧵

This is a nuclide chart. Number of Protons on Y axis Number of Neutrons on X axis The chart shows every known element and every known isotope. The proton number determines the element, the neutron number determines the isotope. The colour illustrates the half life of each

What's very interesting is that Zelensky can "end this war any moment" by surrendering his country and betraying his people and his heroically fighting military, but Putin at the same time absolutely can't -- he is unequivocally forced into slaughtering hundreds of people on

Crawling isn't innate (unlike walking). Every baby must *invent* crawling, from scratch, using extremely little data, and no reference to imitate. Which is why different babies end up with different ways of crawling. Sometimes people tell me, "you say AI isn't intelligent until

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Their paper in the Journal of Holography Applications in Physics shows that reality operates on principles beyond computation. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, they argue that no

I uploaded verified images of the “peace” document to Grok. I prompted, “Analyze this document from a logistic perspective. It is in English, but assess whether or not it has been translated. If so, what is the likely language of the original?” 🧵
