Therapy would be better for you than a panopticon.

What if your partner wants to run away from you? Do you not trust that they would have a good reason?

Vile.

I trust my wife, and she trusts me. We trust each other not to ask for stupid brain-poisoning shit that humans weren't meant to have access to that could one day blow up horribly.

I don't have her passwords, she doesn't have mine. Our phones are locked. I could technically see what she's doing online I suppose via traffic snooping in the router logs but the day I feel the urge to do something like that is the day I kill myself for having abandoned basic moral principles.

We're apes, we have brains built for avoiding snakes in tall grass and finding water and berries. You poison yourself with surveillance, you feed your worst and most destructive impulses. Practice keeping secrets, practice being okay with not knowing. Trust isn't surveillance, trust is knowing that if something fucking mattered you'd be told.

edit: I want my wife to be able to break my heart because if she does she'll have a good reason for doing so. That is what trust is.

The joke: Hey if you kill men that catcall they stop.

The comments: How dare you.

So for the lobotomised amongst us: This is a search for a querystring referral tag in links that references the slopmachine chatgpt right?

Indicating that people have added as a source a URL they copied from chatgpt's output to the citations? Strongly implying that text emitted by a slopmachine on factual matters is now incorporated into the body of the article, and the machine provided that URL as its "source" for said emission?

If so... an LLM cannot source or cite stuff, wtf people? If it emitts a link it it because that link is statistically correlated with prior text, at least barring intervention by ancillary systems to attempt more rigour. That might be because it's a link with text that looks very similar to the emission, it might not, who knows? Not an LLM that's for sure haha.

You were not supposed to crawl deeper into the cave motherfuckers.

I am doing much better now, between learning new limits and some other things that are unwise to write down. My sympathies to you friend, even when opiates are needing to be discontinued — i.e. someone is actively being harmed by addiction — the correct response is /always/ a controlled taper.

Re suicide machine. I built a device what for apply to self to extinguish self quickly, reliably (assuming no emergency medical intervention within about 10 minutes), and with minimal discomfort. I didn't want to die, but knowing I could always take that option quickly made it possible to take it minute by minute and not kill myself out of fear that it would later be unbearable.

I don't really want to describe the device as there are ethical and (regrettably) legal reasons why being frank about suicide is something to handle carefully.

Glad you find it meaningful!

I think one or two of his writings are ok. The one about the war on pain patients is basically correct, that is within his realm of expertise so that is unsurprisingly. As someone who recently experienced several years of chronic pain so bad I could only cope by sitting next to a suicide machine knowing I could end it at any moment I had the misfortune of finding its assessment correct from the inside too.

Moloch is interesting, because I feel he misses the main issue. His flat out refusal to engage in any sort of leftist analysis chalks it up to nebulous difficulties and innate human behaviours rather than deliberate choices by oppressing classes.

[email protected] is a place on lemmy where people shit on this sort of galaxy brained tech racism if you want more. Although they're their own sort of faux intellectual smugness half the time.

https://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-beigeness-or-how-to-kill-people-with-bad-writing-the-scott-alexander-method I remember this being a pretty reasonable critique.

Anything he writes on feminism also.

If you changed the name to singularity or something, or undefined? Referring to the results of the operations you might get somewhere?

As someone who is allegedly an anti ai troll (I checked the modlog lmao) who cares?

Let people build their own communities. If you wanna press on some digital eyes and see mushrooms in static power to you, I'm gonna go eat mushrooms and press on my eyes and see god in the static.

I'll never read /Foo as divide by foo haha. Too much time on the linuxes.

Unfortunately acronyms are a rather ingrained feature of English text communication, and db0 is how that falls out. Not sure you'll win this one.

Did you seriously link writing by cryptofascist Scott Siskind? Dude needs a disclaimer.

Watching people spruke western approved tyranny and murder: Ok, diversity of opinions, marketplace of ideas

Watching people jack off about how NK is secretly really good or something: Harmful, dangerous, needs to be quarantined.

I find it so tedious. Most of the people who Pearl clutch over this come from a state that has been ruled by murderous war criminals for at least half a century.
