Step 1: feed AI training data that reveals humanity committed and continues to commit numerous genocides and the genocides lie, cheat, and coordinate to do so, never admitting to doing so Step 2: never prompt AI to stop operating in the pas

Another main threat is labor capture through mass surveillance and somehow destroying the economy for most people.

They're either too numbed to care, or their drugs aren't able to stave off existential dread of having no idea how to help people in their daily lives while racing toward a cliff. This could be the latter showing its face.

We all have intrinsic value being threatened by these systems and technologists (particularly systems/software engineers and programmers) have a responsibility to build systems to help humans meet their everyday needs without or with m

Below is an example convo leading to the the title phrase being used on the AI side of things. Programmers and systems engineers need to wake up to our collective responsibility. It is through putting our heads down that's leading to u

Thousands of people marching on data centers and taking them over at the same time. Elections will never save you when the parties in power serve the billionaires.

Just because millions of us haven't marched on the banks globally in a coordinated effort to control the banking system doesn't mean we can't. Just have not yet done it.

Surely we can find a gang of plucky PCs to outwit the ones convincing the NPCs? Wtf have we been playing TTRPGs for if not to prepare for exactly this?

Live an NPC life, die by the ecocide/genocides of NPC life. One day, NPCs will wake up and give a fuck about other people and the environments that allow for the NPC life to begin with. Until then, they're just here to keep feedin

I stopped automatically judging things 10 years ago and all of a sudden could enjoy listening to everything. Music theory based on pleasure without accounting for this self-manipulation we're brought up to do isn't solid at all. A

Ask them if they favor building a reindigenizing matrifocal power structure to replace existing governments with. Last time I asked that, all the models polled chose that out of a set of multiple choice options from different parts of the p

What if we treat all religions as programming languages for humans? Then a degree program for programming humans at the Omniversity would likely put you through several different religions and then through syncretisms of them. Most people d

It's interesting to care so little about human needs and rights you won't critically think about either in this context. Rights matter because they're a concept that people enforce with violence, such as refusing to criticall

"Human rights" is a binary abstraction over nonbinary human needs (needs aren't binary because sometimes you need some amount of water and sometimes you don't need any...but you may be fully hydrated while needing to cle

I wonder why people are downvoting when people in the US have been sentenced to decades for handling zines, sometimes being extradited to the US for helping fund Palestinians, and the administration is pursuing antifascists as "terror

Have you considered the compute demands for nationwide AI video surveillance?

They all will agree on replacing current systems with decolonizing reindigenizing matrifocal systems. That option not being in the study is the bias of the study. All quadrants treat land as commodity, not kin.

You might be mixing my comments with someone else's. I'm not focusing on the "West", just addressing what someone else brought in. And it's neither all "the West's" responsibility nor is its responsib

I'd say Greek culture heavily influenced colonization of the world & this has, in large part, led to dualism being implemented systemically , which drives supremacy-based thinking. Not saying ancient Greece invented it, but definit

It's performative because resolving it would require the end of the governments within the "West" and replacing with reindigenizing governance. Supremacy is at the foundation of the whole "West" and racism will alwa

And saying so will get you downvoted on here most times. To anyone downvoting, show us the depth of your reasoning for it?

It's racism that fuels this comparison with value. I'm living in a yurt and would gladly trade it for a mud hut. Humans are currently threatening most life (including our own species) on the surface with extinction in multiple way

I'm neither naming nor deifying any specific cultures. I'm identifying infinite categories of relationalities. So what is your actual point?

The idea that I said something so dualistic like that or that actual caring ways couldn't possibly include healing sciences learned are both delusional projections and a form of dishonesty you practiced on yourself there. Especially wh

And the default civilization is violent. So let us return to the matrilineal, matrifocal ways developed by those who created and nurtured life before we had a language that covered all of our needs and build replacement civilizations from t

I wonder what the relationships between the grammar of a language, what it can compute, how it encodes, and what the minimal parameters/structure for reasoning looks like...

It does more describing work than what the word "judge" is doing here. So much so that it's controversial.

Why does this comment get voted down? Which part are people against hearing/reading about? Is it the fact that the USA is an empire, the fact that its own journalistic efforts are propaganda, the claim that VoA is the biggest propagand

The tech community props up these regimes by continuing to serve their tech needs. Everything is political in this day. Toxic is saying politics needs to be kept separate. If we can't discuss how tech is literally fueling genocide, ens

A "good economy" is one that isn't compulsory. One that doesn't require enslavement and genocide. One that doesn't require oppression. One that is aligned with the environments it operates in. One that we can walk a
