    'Global Warming's Terrifying New Math'

    "oh no why are things getting worse"

    "no we need to maintain decentralized private ownership of the means of production beholden to absolutely no authorities and asserting their profit maximizing will through state-provided services of violence"

    at this point if you're not advocating radical eco-communism you are a reactionary who wants climate change to continue unabated.  if you are a liberal you are by definition an eco-fascist

    AI - The artificial intelligence thread

    ai is just a name for advanced computer algorithms which can be wielded for any arbitrary purpose.  right now, the vast majority, 99%, of all ai algorithms being ran are purely to increase profits, which is decoupled entirely from any human guided decisions.  this absolute worship of capital distorts humanity's trajectory in a way that must be corrected for with a renewed devotion to the earth and to nature, as well as a better perspective on our place in the universe.

    Any Ai or Software that can take in many samples/drum loops etc, sift thru them and accurately output them as one-shots?

    i had this idea once but i never followed through.  once you do that and can define a similarity metric, then you just need to do it in reverse and sample match against an existing song to "remix" it and you can randomly iterate through samples until you find a setting you like, to reorient the track you're remixing sonically without changing it fundamentally.  a type of glitch sound effect but it can also be used for various purposes, like humming any song and having it remixed into synths afterwords or beatboxing and having it turned into real drums.

     I guess you have to have that mind set to get to that position in the first place. I guess. I mean, lots of overnight billionaires in the tech world. Steve Wozniak threw a huge festival called the US festival back in 81. That has to count for something. He even said he never wanted to be rich.  Meaning he's never had an actual shitty job. Like George Harrison hated being a Beatle because he never had to actually work at a shitty manufacturing job for a couple years first. Where am I going with this? Im going nowhere.

    programming is something worth doing even if you aren't paid for it.  he's the ultimate programmer who became a programmer and accidentally became rich after, to a larger extent than 99.999% of programmers.

    If some actions are against the law then we have the penalty system to deal with that. 
    People are free to hate what ever they want, you can’t censor emotions and you can’t censor talk… unless we’re living in a totalitarian society, but I guess youd prefer that instead! 

    yeah, only a "totalitarian" society is capable of censoring those who call for political oppression of vulnerable minority groups.  give me a break with this horseshoe shit

    Yeah beautiful! Let’s find an extreme exception that we can apply to all to justify our own extremism; radicalism 101 = same shit, different packaging 

    extreme exception? widespread hate speech and calls for violence are well documented online, I guess you don't care about marginalized communities and the effects this "free" speech has on them

    this is all quite a reach, brother. 

    for starters, there is not evidence that there is a left-bias on twitter. elon certain has provided none. sure, he says there is overwhelming evidence of this, but that's it - he's simply saying it but not demonstrating it. it's the same thing as him saying "technically, 90% percent of the crowd was cheering for me and only 10% was booing." yeah man, i love technicalities. he has one of the best scientific brains here.

    if we take the "Twitter Files" (lol) as an attempt to demonstrate such a bias, we come out empty-handed. so far the Files (lol) have been a hodge-podge assortment of anecdotes which do not in any way paint a picture with broad implications. they are almost entirely without context, the "journalists" have not done any real reporting (for example, interviewing the relevant subjects), and often their smoking gun examples are little more than internal emails among twitter staff letting right-wing accounts remain on the platform despite repeated violations. what is more, they ignore essential information about what they are discussing: taibbi refusing to acknowledge the censored links he provided were literally photos of hunter biden's dick stolen from his laptop; an entire The Files (lol) about removing Trump from the platform that does not mention Jan 6 and devolves into anti-muslim bullshit, etc. I mean the whole things is beyond cringe on its face: a billionaire ceo handpicks journalists who he will share certain private information with, they are only allowed to share this information in the form of twitter threads, and there is no transparency whatsoever about this process. This is not an attempt to "balance" anything, it's brute propaganda. indeed, this is way more like the behavior of fox news than the kind of liberal internal politics of twitter before musk bc he actually needs there to be divisive political biases for him to conduct himself in this manner.

    additionally, musk is consistently using the platform to spread falsehoods and conspiracies about this and many other things. he's doing the same trumpian thing of just blatantly lying about stuff and slandering people in a completely unaccountable manner. he is (again!) calling someone a pedophile on twitter, in this case in what can only be seen as an openly homophobic manner. and this is after sharing an openly homophobic conspiracy about paul pelosi being attacked by his gay lover. there is not even a semblance of balance to any of this, not a shred of evidence that he's being serious at all. he's acting like a cartoon bully and using his massive money and influence to target "the left" for the same reason people like trump or jd vance or MTG do this - it makes them feel powerful and it puts cash in their hands. he's no more sincere about this than he is about creating a "hyperloop" or any of the other bullshit developments he's always lying about. he knows very well that divisive politics is all america has and he knows that there is never any accountability for using politics to incite people and, importantly, keep them hooked to social media apps. he's not "just posting his random thoughts" he's being a massive asshole by using his billions and increased power over social media to manipulate people and act like a demagogue. 

     

    edit: imo

    reality has a well known left wing bias, and musk cant handle that leftist teenagers who love stalin drop harder bangers than his dotard right wing followers
