@whimsical ye but why would they pay you though. you can think you're important all you want doesn't mean you have the means by which to assert that in physical reality

@Lensflare oh, the idea universe that AI is accountable and not the people that made it. forgot about that slight of hand thing...

@Lensflare

>Btw. being wiped out from the face of the earth is far from the worst of the likely outcomes.

>This is one of the most disturbing things for me to think about.

what's the worst likely outcomes. I wish to be entertained

@12bitfloat the economy is divorced from consumers now, just rich people writing IOUs to each other cuz they're the only ones with such capabilities left (and everyone else is raking up credit card debt and buy now, pay later loans which they won't be able to pay back)

you still need infrastructure though. robots for repairing plumbing and electrical systems and cleaning your house like a maid. who needs consumer cars? automated private jets. it is strange to me air traffic control isn't done by a machine though

upsetting your co workers by changing the git in ways they can't comprehend I guess

... I should add we don't use them well

typically they're stolen, the thinkers of the age just extract the rulesets and take credit for them and so you can't find who they stole it from

and then you get that authoritarian bishop-class thing that are heralds of truth going. it's true because they said it, not because there was work put in to figure out that this thing was true

and over time we just distil it more and more into retarded forms that fit the current intentions of whoever is doing the distilling until everything becomes a malaise and then we go to war over standards, wars of beliefs like the religious wars, because nobody knows how we got here and just took authority on faith this whole time, and you wouldn't admit to that that would destroy your whole being so feeling threatened they destroy the other being

seeing things progress humanity seems to always get worse in terms of clarity and never better

sometimes some outlier comes in with dreams of a paradise and organizes everything and everyone hates them but they write some books that by circumstance survive and then we use those condensed systems hundreds or thousands of years later

but on the whole humans make everything worse and not better

cherries

evidently integrating my vampire/occultism escapades into buddhism. also secret societies make more sense. also humans don't have a conscience, which classically western learned people now annoy me about when they mention it. it's just the self-awareness part of your brain (which meditation trains) running commentary. it doesn't have special god-like powers lol. the mystics called this part the higher self and classic psychology calls it the superego, but it's just you watching yourself and isn't any better or worse than you or whatever

ALL THE THINGS CONNECTING AGAIN

I do find it odd that the psychiatry place suggested meditation for schizophrenics... like how does that make sense. I kind of want to go find out how they square it. probably it squares fine because they're not even doing meditation halfway properly lol

@donkulator eat 10 coqs

well just in time!

this guy's got a linkedin and a whole fake-ass business

you can tell cuz he has like 4 jobs on linkedin he started in 2025 and one of his earliest comments on linkedin he actually wrote himself.. and he doesn't speak english anything like all his other content

someone must be buying this stuff if he put in so much effort into being a fake person. even 1.2k followers, linkedin recommendations/reviews by people who don't sound AI. the photo of him looks like a real person

I guess this is the modern version of a go-getter

@Lensflare i delete non-technical rants over time cuz search index and username linked to work-related stuff, but I also use here for getting things off my chest cuz venting place

you didn't ask tho, not even human in your eyes 🥲

liiiterallly oh my god lens of the flare

you're so spiiikey

looking like a psychopath might actually be a selling pitch at this rate. You'll have culture fit

ew

@awesomeest yeah the empty your thoughts thing is not what meditation is about

I hate it became a pop thing because it makes it hard to find the real stuff when that happens to items

you're not supposed to empty thoughts though just have them in the background in peripheral awareness instead of your main attention

I was also thrown off by that. even though I can quiet my thoughts over time. but it's just why would you do that. it's like a lobotomy. I have those things setup to ping for a reason

more disinfo to control the masses! *vibrates in conspiracy theorist*

@whimsical cuz they got cocky and went vs israel for a while

maduro gonna be replaced by a lady who is pro israel now

@whimsical trump seems to have been successfully owned by israel now

the maduro thing was israel. not a play. he's owned

... they classify aversion as ill-will which set me off lol. yeah saying no is ill-will. fuck you lol

it's actually the year of digital IDs according to "their" plans

@Lensflare ofc, taxes are what the government is actually after, everything else is just the sales pitch

@Lensflare if they were real friends they'd word of mouth advertise your computer repair business for real money

@Lensflare atheists will use science to bring back gene discrimination

just because you're in a different fishbowl doesn't mean the fish aren't fish

"then disable supporting the peripheral"

it is a bit of an overoptimization though

like I can see people using unintended input methods to create niche control schemes to best other gamers with if this was a competitive game but probably the game wouldn't get that big and it's probably not competitive

there was a hot guy who offered me computer help when I was a teenager but I knew more than him so I laughed at him and had to decline...

on day 1 of the new year I craved greasy food so I went to get poutine. I've eaten poutine before so I didn't think my immune system would react badly to it, but the only place open on the day after new years was this pigslop place that sells cheap huge poutines for fat people. I bought it (and didn't tip because I forgot tipping is a thing -- plus takeout?) then got paranoid maybe they'd poison the food like in the book "100% match" I read recently. Ate it anyway. halfway through I was disgusted at the food so I threw it out

then I had burning sensation in my intestines for 2 days even though the poutine wasn't spicy. and my left side burned and was numb, head to toe, became clumsy. My nerve issues flared up wtf. then my "mania" came back (turns out post brain damage people get stuck in fight or flight -- what's the difference? doctors don't know =])... I was so terrified all the recovery I've done will disappear, so exhausted

then I slipped on my stairs, hurt my foot

lmao

- brain damage gives you psychosis and when you come out of it you go through psychosis again and that's actually a symptom of getting better
- doctors are disgusting
- you are your brain and losing your brain is a death
- we have very little control of ourselves and our proclivities. there's internal and external locus of control beliefs people have and I was always internal, and internal psychologically has better odds in life and better mental health and all that. but turns out actually we don't decide anything at all and it's all external. which thoughts pop into your head? what craving do you have, what wishes look good? what you enjoy and don't enjoy. all that you never decided. your body did. whether you can care or remember to do something for a friend or for a job or a project... it was never your choice
- people my age moved on in life and are adults now and I lost years of my life and can't adult. I feel so behind. also having to face the idea of mortality ? limited life?

I liked working holidays because it's chill during holidays and you basically have the place to yourself and nobody stresses you out

so I'd save my PTOs for stressful times when people are unpleasant and I want a vacation. Optimization ftw

(ofc then they would cancel my vacations last minute even tho I had to request them 3 months in advance... which I guess should say why I was even doing this strategy)

shake in excitement for the coming
