Man, any good media manipulator knows you don’t go for the newsrooms first. You start with the shitty ad-infested pages that just post procedurally generated slop anyway, then you let that shit fester up the chain until it hits the front page of the NYT.

App that is plagued by bot accounts thinks that adding more bot-nature will improve quality

I have found a way to solve world hunger with a fork bomb

just one more manifesto bro, just one more and we'll get an unregulated free market, just one more bro

Also, billing David Gerard as "the Forrest Gump of the internet" in a tweet and not mentioning that you can plausibly blame him for the whole Musk X Grimes collab is a true fumble

I can imagine a comedian using an LLM to check if a joke or punchline has been done before, but that would require the LLM to actually work and give accurate information. Also if you are a comedian using an LLM, you probably don’t actually care about whether or not you are plagiarising someone, so I guess this is all moot.

I have a tremendously large skull (like XXL hats) - maybe that's why I can still do some basic math after the testosterone brain poison during puberty?

Pretty sure this flies in the face of traditional rat phrenology.

start slamming testosterone and amphetamines to get your workaholicism, betterThanEveryone complex, and drive for power

Ah yeah all things that are good that you should aspire to, and within this pokemon-esque understanding of drugs and human physiology, things you just automagically gain from pills

Then from another comment:

Seems it is easier / more streamlined / more googlable now for a teenage male to get testosterone blockers than testosterone. Latter is very frowned upon — I guess because it is cheating in sports. Try googling eg "get testosterone prescription high school reddit -trans -ftm". The results are exclusively people shaming the cheaters. Whereas of course googling "get testosterone blockers high school reddit" gives tons of love & support & practical advice.

Hey dawg are you pro-T-blocking or not? First you say I should delay my puberty until I’m 22, now you start JAQing off about how trans people have it too easy. Which is it?

Females however retain easy access to hormones via birth control.

How did I not see this comment worded in this specific way coming

Post reads like he tried the penis implants mentioned in the stubsack and now has regrets

The pro-AI comments here remind me of possibly the worst opinion I’ve heard about fossil fuels, which was that we should burn them all now as fast as possible to develop newer technologies to magically solve all the problems generated from burning all the fossil fuels.

There’s fuck around and find out, and then there’s fuck around, find out, and learn nothing.

Every server is sacred.

I don’t think the guy even understands consent tbh.

So why not wait a few more years

The world this posits is wild. First, you’ve got a person wanting to commit bestiality, but only wants it if it is legal, otherwise, why wait? Second, we’re going to both translate animal language (or neural activity if you wanna go steelman) into human language and back. And third, we’re gonna use that to successfully teach animals sex education (that, mind you, many countries already don’t have a great track record on teaching humans sex ed). Fourth, somehow these animals will be able to comprehend any of this in a meaningful way for the legal system to recognise their ability to consent (again, bad track record). And fifth the animals will actually consent.

higher animals

like, birds?
