I have had my rough brushes with the mutant laureate, but I do miss his presence. Always compelling, and rarely if ever without substance. And Flock (among obviously everything else) happens to be a familiar subject to him/it. He has d

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48894441 The NextDNS (and others) blocking of archive.today goes back far beyond 2026 and this specific DDOS event. Perhaps that contributed to the hostility behind it, I don't

It depends on an extensive network of foreign-made components, with very little security or resilience built in, and transformer wait-times exceeding two years. If anything, the straight issues and Iran situation only add more stress where

Although the blocking of archive.today goes back years, as can be verified through forum searches and archives with nextdns and others, I was not aware of this and have no excuse to dispute it. But for the record, the blocking predates 2026

Curious if this is a grid down innuendo.. And more so, curious of your more direct insight on the probability of such... if I am going in the right direction. I've been building a strong case to be concerned on this topic. I am in Flor

I just left a comment on this elsewhere, but are you using cloudflare or nextdns? They seem to block archive sites, especially archive.today (archive.is, etc)

Not sure, but I struggle with skepticism for anyone who blocks archive.today, which cloudflare does, along with nextdns and others. Being blocked by such a large... apologies in advance for 'lack of better word' vernacular, cartel

Nitpick all you want, no hysteria here that you haven't fabricated yourself. but if you start asking mothers, which tend to be female..., which tends to be ~half the population..., you will still find more opposition to MSG in babyfood

At some point, maybe after a real crisis or sufficient sustained caloric deficit, people may finally notice that these predatory mommy‑monsters don’t actually care about anyone and that they’re up to something else. We have serious problems

I've been terrified of this, living in Florida. We are so close! I just can't sleep knowing that at any moment... really good cigars might start falling from the sky. Oh My!

Just to offer the poster some balance on this topic, there are a few reasonably non-moronic people heavily focused on consciousness and AI. You might want to look into Sapolsky, Tegmark, and others I cannot recall names for, but they are ou

There 's a lot more to it than that. Approach it from a reverse RLHF perspective. There are now two primary versions of AI; The Elitist Pentagon/Contractor version, and the Public Toy version. The institutional capture of frontier

Unsettling. I hereby commit to self doubt on this matter exclusively. I will leave this fight to others. What was the book in 1997? That's about the time of my first UAP sighting.

Yeah, that's why I invited the flag. But do not overlook how fucking depressing the endless LLM generated comments actually are too. My apologies, and I do appreciate your reply.

If I am wrong, please pardon. I suspect I am. But was this comment edited by Claude? I ask specifically because it is well written, substantive, all which is expected here, but the "push back" part, to me, must be a) an artifact o

Wanted to say I am with you 100% here. I'd bet my dingly doo on it being pure LLM. As well as the others. My question is how can this shit be kept out of here and elsewhere... This example is easy to catch, others less so. I almost don

I think the folks disagreeing with you maybe haven't spent much time in war. Almost certainly some in harsh skirmishes, but I reckon a few Nam, Korea and WWII vets would at least entertain your position on the subject. Pretty much ever
