the fifth episode of odium symposium, “4chan: the french connection” is now up. roughly the first half of the episode is a dive into sartre’s theory of antisemitism. then we apply his theory to the style guide of a nazi news site and the life of its founder, andrew anglin
EDIT: btw if you like the episode please tell people about it! frankly we have no idea how to market or otherwise promote a podcast sooo we’re kind of just hoping the listeners do it
fortunately, yud clarified everything in his recent post concerning the zizians, which indicated that… uh, hmm, that we should use a prediction market to determine whether it’s moral to sell LSD to children. maybe he got off track a little
you will never guess which company hired oswald mosely’s grandson

I fucking knew it!!! I don’t even know why I feel so vindicated for calling out such an obvious fraud tbh. anyone, besides possibly a HN poster, could have seen it coming
i see! thanks for all your work <3. I think i’ll just write the thread after the upgrade, i got partially done and it started eating my images again so maybe this just isn’t the moment
trying to write a thread about polytopia but my images won’t upload >:(. idk what i’m doing wrong, i’ve tried on both my desktop and my phone
oh man I’ve been thinking about posting that polytopia article in the stubstack because it’s the funniest musk related content I’ve seen. now I think it deserves a thread
its actually extremely emotionally upsetting. i took a box of chicken nuggies out of the freezer and just started crying and punching the box over and over. i trusted you elon
1000 out of 1000 mengeles agree
you: how do i turn off gemini
gemini: i drink your data milkshake :)
superb sneer in the YouTube comments
@monx 36:10 Mikey hints at the central contradiction of his vision. love that he sees music as more than background noise. But this kind of “interchangeable commodity” is exactly what generative Al produces. It’s similar to a fantasy where you’ll type 'painting of a beautiful sunset" into a machine and then have the output hung in the Guggenheim, as if you made any meaningful contribution, as if the interpolation of training data (infinite in supply) would be special and meaningful to people. We will not escape the tautology that generative art is cheap. This can only be resolved by adding more and more degrees of creative control to the input - controls that demand more skill from the operator - until, finally, we arrive back where we started.
would love to read more from this person
this is just so nakedly a scam, it’s a little startling. I feel like if your whole pitch - as it appeared to me - was “we will be like the tories but more competent and less corrupt,” then it would behoove you to at least try to appear more competent and less corrupt
Another thing I’ve found actually works pretty well is setting up two computers next to each other with ChatGPT voice mode, if you give them custom instructions to be sure to wait for the other one to be done talking, they don’t interrupt each other and can get quite a bit of work done. Here is just a video of the mvp that I sent to a friend ages ago once I started playing with the idea: https://s.h4x.club/kpuzNkNL - I actually use this method of working quite often now, couple times a week at least, I find it’s pretty helpful. If I knew how to put 4/5 modals together in one app and give them each custom instructions, I’d love to try building a team (if someone out there actually knows how to build this kinda stuff, I’m happy to help flesh out how the product would need to work, but I don’t think it’s super difficult to build at this point, I’m just not technical enough)
you must click the video link
this is going in hard enough that I suspect zuck is not expecting there to be another meaningful election
been binging the your kickstarter sucks archives and this post is giving me deja vu
THANK YOU. I feel the exact same way, word for word, although my feelings are directed at juicero rather than openai. sick of the juicero naysayers who don’t understand
please explain to us how you think having less, or more, subscribers would make this profitable
hmm
