A Serious Post

Last edited Fri Dec 26, 2025, 08:00 AM - Edit history (39)

Hi DU,
I have to rewrite this post. The first few versions were okay. And then it turned into the kind of spewfest I try to check.

I’ll rewrite it later as I have to go offline to work and it is about something important.
A real complaint I plan to file about these extortionate neoliberal technofascist or Nazi populist forces that put an unqualified and corrupt Nazi like Trump in office.

It is one thing to have no expertise. It is another to find the concept alien and yet string together rot that drives ratings and is an insult to any kind of actual populism. I back a progressive pushback against this reality. Lina Khan, Talarico, Mamdani etc get it.

As do the people on the “far left” in the media (Yasha Levine/Evgenia Kovda, Nandita Bajaj, Christopher Ketcham, Chauncey DeVega, Sam Miller MacDonald, Nathan Robinson/Current Affairs, Adam Becker, Ed Zitron, Troy Farah, Amanda Marcotte, Andrew O’Hehir) and all of you here on DU-EarlG/elad/Skinner and all the posters (I am not listing everyone since I will forget someone and have to come back).

These are not casual effusions. I never had any mental illness or other issues. But I have found our politics as societies nightmarishly inadequate for these horrifying excesses by tech and tech’s hostage taking of doctors, publicly funded scientists, society at large and reality.

My brain doesn’t feel very good wrt work outside my narrow field in the hard sciences. My work is not mechanical and it has been so hard to focus on science and math in the last 15 years.

But nonetheless I think filing complaints anonymously with some explanation but no products is essential. This is a broken economic model and most our media are horrifyingly complicit or behind the times.

This is a real world check I can only send out virtually halting any further exploitation and permission free encroachment.

There is no system of trust in operation at the moment from my side. And I am not a fool. (Nor a bot or insane -no throwing asparagus at me! I’d be screwn..those are the only two I remember ;-/. No wait..And Kudzu and gimme a dollar and breast feeding pitbulls at Olive Garden..I never got the Kudzu one. I saw the “gimme a dollar” one in real time).

I really don’t like mucking with stuff outside my field. I wanted to be one of those people whose contributions to society were less odd. But this was a lot of outrageous Accelerationism and it won’t fly with me on any level.

Anyway, this shorter version on top of the other 35 or 36 should send the message I hope

Not a bot or crazy. Yeah it’s politics about tech and left and Green and feminist..but it’s not kayfabe. And I won’t be taken by surprise. I use marijuana medically. No system need a bother to blackmail me using marijuana’s grey area status nor pile on other stuff.

And now I won’t hold back re refusal to connect the dots except self servingly.

If I lose my anonymity it will become a worse conflcit.

I have many faults. Cowardice and sleaziness aren’t among them. Further if I sound a bit odd it’s because I have no wish to attract attention. I am not histrionic. The only attention I wanted was via dull papers and this otoh is a bit spectacular. But politeness can be a cancer on society.

I don’t function very well except underground or in dully routine spaces . Just not spooky. Just regular lefty.

I haven’t seen anything lurid. I have seen something more common and less commented on. Parasitic theft of our lives and livelihoods by inept morons who think they are geniuses (e.g. Marc Andreessen). And gate kept and sleazy tech “criticism” (e.g. : Tristan Harris).

I seriously owe Promising Young Woman/The MeToo Movement and the Scum Manifesto (it is satire! I am not a misandrist..I am a humanist..but I do have scant patience with creeps/creep tolerance) for scrubbing away the unpleasant taste of lean-in feminism from the past. That’s a recipe for learned helplessness.

It is not that I disagree with or ashamed of it.

But I am trying to serious reevaluate one’s behaviors and actions. I agree with most things I post and I am not ashamed of them.

But who cares what I think? I take action as needed. But editorializing pompously doesn’t fit. Nor does self exposure. Nor do streams of consciousness

It is like one of those guys (it is usually men - huge fan of that gender in its most aggressive form and its mimics) who has nothing to say but keeps on talking.

Steven Pinker comes to mind. Can’t stand that guy.

And while I have silent solidarity/empathy etc. that is unsaid. It is icky and sugary when said and useless. Who can it help?
So that should also go.

I feel a bit sad that all my vicious trashing of various totally random creeps will go in the clean up.

The vicious trashing - that part fits..it fulfils a function as not enough people trash pompous creeps.

It is the pontification that doesn’t. Why would I say stuff that other people say and so much better? It is redundant.

So that was a social service. But because of the pompous pontification and icky sugar, the useful trashing also has to go.


A tragedy really ;-/.
Actually…it is 76 pages. Okay thats too much work. Oh well. At least the tributes to various creeps shall stand.

I am a soldier and a patriot 🫡.

This is a message that may or may not apply to some human or ai creeps who may or may not exist. But if you exist:

I am sure about the psychiatric malpractice/political abuse of psychiatry allegations against my former employer’s hospital for sure, because they are Reefer madness shilling assholes.

But I am going offline to work because it is the definition of insanity to keep doing the same crap over and over.

And well..I am a (mediocre) scientist, but even I know that you have to wait for all the info to file complaints with a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer.

I am not going to be conciliatory with creeps and sleazebags because I don’t like being taken for a fool.

My goal as a human is not acing “bot or not” nor “creep or not” tests.

I watched this rather angry interview between two people both of whom I like - Matt Stoller and Alec Karakatsanis and was sad to see how rancorous it was because they are both people I like. Reminded me of my marriage actually, which split up because it was basically that interview for 6 years (with us switching roles as Stoller and Karakatsanis depending on the issue). We are still family, but not a couple because somehow we don’t argue as much about minutiae that way.

This doesn’t look acceptable.

Acceptable: good science; not coercive nor exploitative; not creepy nor archaic; not bullying me for not being enthusiastic about cults like Google/Facebook etc and sports billionaire funded police reform ( a la Clare Wu or big tech pretending to care about stuff). I agreed with Stoller about big tech funded defund the police. It is bullshit and those people have carried out a coup against the public sector. It is also myopic.

Don’t do low rent shit here on my street or in my home. I will file complaints where you do or did except in very rare cases. Appeals to vanity etc. don’t work on me. This is not deep understanding of human nature where real. It is a gimmick and probably fueled by third rate ai, but it was never good science anyway. Low rent manipulation.

I remember sleeping miserably on my mentor’s couch because it was less creepy than a damn sweatshop run out of some home in a place like that model city by fucking Google.

And that ended up basically going the Harry Harlow/Suomi way wrt any peer support. It was a sexist system and it reminded me of retaliation by the Serum Institute of India against a volunteer.

Good for Toronto for shutting down Sidewalks Labs. And Facebook’s metaverse and VR are garbage.

I don’t have the resources for this bs. I have not worked all year.

I get these parlour tricks, I am almost sure. It reminds me not of good science, but low rent drivel like the tacky Facebook emotion contagion experiment, Gino, Ariely, BSchool studies, Power Poses, Kosinski’s facedar, Cognify, VR prison or other bullshit, anything ai, Cogito, anything MIT Media Lab/Pentland/Ben Waber/Insel/Google Translate, Aaron Spelkins’ AI Border Security, Emotion ai, Nudge Theory, anything that ass Alex Pentland does, etc,

Save for one study by Eyal Ophir from the loathsome Stanford HAI, I have never seen anything in that entire class of experiments that I didn’t think should be destroyed with a vengeance. That one was decent.

This is not the purpose of my brain. I can’t be sure since perception is tricky (especially after a shitty job, harassment) etc. Nothing to do with pot and I started out with a healthy brain.And I have never had any serious mental illness.

But I take a draconian view by now of this dreck being spun out for money using third rate rot killing good basic science.

I have never seen a thing Alex Pentland and that type does that is not basically garbage. Between the punishing standards of real science and the profit (that too not based on any products or services; just bloatware and junk science like anything Facebook) driven rubbish nudge theory and other garbage, I am furious.

If it is real and the sort of low rent rot I see and saw, I will ensure that the culprits face misconduct/malpractice and harassment allegations after this nazi Trump humping admin is gone.

This is not elegant science and I am filing complaints locally here and there. But I have to go work for now.

Stop exploiting people and constantly driving a fucking race to the bottom everywhere. I doubt good science is ever like this. But I have to wait to file complaints about lousy methods in ai and data. I will talk to Yasha Levine as he is a journalist I trust to distinguish between decent overworked doctors/pis and these creeps and he gets what is political noise and what is important.

Unlike the TwitterFiles! beaglegate! crowd. I always sympathised with Dr Fauci. Most doctors and scientists are overworked.

And it lets these parasites at Google/Facebook/Microsoft or small creepy companies shill exploitative bs using narcotics laws or immigration.

That’s myopic and sleazy and more cruel in the long run. Even Trump hires undocumented workers. He just treats them even more like shit. So these types you find at Stanford or MIT etc shilling bigtech or billionaire funded “police reform” are frauds. And that will lead to more nazi populists if you don’t get what people like Stoller mean about it being hyperlibertarian.

That is why this professor David Golumbia called out the sleazy Joy Buolwimini of the MIT Media lab. That woman is a sleazebag unlike Briahna Joy Gray of Current Affairs.

Chan Zuckerberg/Wu Tsai..those are all morally bankrupt creeps.

I see some stuff on my phone I don’t like. When I figure out what it is I will file misconduct allegations.
Don’t pull this shit with me.

This cost me heavily and all those out there doing this know and knew that I am not a bot or crazy. Good luck with the malpractice, misconduct, harassment and other charges I file and don’t bother to dox me. It will blow up in your faces.

I just thought the science would be better than these garbage llms. This shit is not worth breaking human brains over.
I am pretty pissed off.

Don’t ever again take me for a fool.
I was trying to be polite and it is not worth it.

Its just manipulatively stringing together shit I bet. I can’t possibly be imagining all of it and that trashes throws off the error prediction in my brain.
Fucking awful. I am cursed with sensitivity to irritating stimuli.
Who does this junk serve?

I don’t want to change the world! But your assumption that everyone thinks science is a joke is wrong. I am not trying to bring my mediocre self up to spec to go “awwww” about this rot from these scammy surveillance industries. And it is universal that except the creeps employed by these scams or even more pathetically building or making this pointless junk, no one would be sympathetic to this.

It is not even good manipulation. It is just leaving rubbish around to annoy the shit out of people.

I am going offline till I finish this paper. I have become normal again and I will visit a fucking plague on anyone who annoys me in my street or home. Get this shit out of my home and street and I am filing complaints anyway.

——————————————————————————
All that said, ;-/ since I am not sure where anything acceptable* is meshed with the creeps, sorry if my knee jerked in anyone’s direction. Though i bet it is all rubbish where real.

And it makes me look like a crazy person with a mood disorder rather than a human with brain forced to solve the most pointless riddles in the world while realizing with fury how scammy it was.

And all for what? Those fucking tacky llms and ai agents. Come the fuck on.

I have a lot of respect for expertise and good science. That is work pis I knew in proper biology, chemistry and physics do without this bogus human science. This is all this internet bullshit that is lightweight and a spectacle.

Wtf? I am getting reamed in real science or I certainly would be because “No exit” is torture for any scientist as mediocre as I am. Real scientists-not these hardcore creeps like Musk/Zuck etc, may not say anything. But they know without copious amounts of moronic data collection, what students/postdocs etc know. Something your stupid creepy ais never will.
So I get reamed in real science and you keep funding these creepy scammy Pentland types. That’s bullshit.

Pentland is a fraud. Fuck you all. You ream me and then behave as if everything the MiT Media Lab does isn’t a total fucking scam. That bloatware only makes money industrially because these surveillance scammers don’t ask for permission.

Who the fuck pulls this shit?

Between the draconian standards of good publicly funded science that I was trained in and the blank check given to these corrupt, snoopy, corporate parasites..come the fuck on.

This is just bs. Well you can bring corporate research up to the old NiH (pre Trump) and ORI standards on IRB in human subject research.

Not whatever some Si valley cult, greedy admins and influencers etc work out using bloody China and Russia as an excuse.

This isn’t like stem cell research. It is trying to put a happy face on the most pointless and moronic surveillance state I ever saw with constant sleazy whining (I mean probably..).

I will still file complaints. Have a nice year.

I was wondering wtf it was and then these tacky sloppy ai things started coming out and then I got it. Breaking biological human brains to make this fucking junk?
Sucking away years of my life. Damn you all to hell you bastards.


Ruining natural spaces and destroying human life to build some shitty game no one will ever play or not without pushback from home owners like me..as with Pokemon Go. And I am not even that much of a pill. But this has strained my patience. I am sick of this.

And all for what? This junk.

And you keep getting stupider looking on autopilot for info that doesn’t exist in rubbish like a crazy person or moron.

And all because someone used to more regulation than this cannot acclimate to this junk.

This is worthless, Google parasite built junk whose IRb was cobbled out in some creep filled back alley.

And fwiw I am not crazy or a bot: I was here in 2006-08. Sniffa posted about a homeless woman aggressively saying “gimme a dollar” (I question the things that stick in my memory given all the science I forget, but I don’t see how anyone who wasn’t around to see that piece of trolling would remember). He was probably trolling poor Bobbolink. Not very nice. But on brand for sniffa.

I read somewhere about this book “The gift of fear” and how your brain registers stuff. This is goddamn robbery of attention, time and all for these scammy junk like pseudosciences this one shit field - ai and that other scammy surveillance and poor data hygiene driven field-big data, churns out. I am a mediocre scientist and forced to rely on sifting through drivel because there isn’t anything like a decent systesn

And this shit in my state is not cute and it isn’t community etc. It is harassment where real and confuses the brain and it is why I am filing allegations against any data scientists and ai researchers, influencers or other such frauds here.

I moved here to escape that junk science in that hell and now my home is overtaken by this same junk and in a country with acid attacks and gangrapes.

This shit where real is fucking creepy. And I am not even a Karen or pill. But this isn’t even normal annoying human behavior.
That I put up with. I am not a princess.

But this is an industrialized push to basically signal that no space is off limits for these goddamn creeps. Shove your metaverse up Zuckerberg’s ass you freaks.

And if you politically abuse psychiatry to
say I am like a “targeted individual” who thinks they are being “gangstalked” by “electronic harassment” I will escalate the psychiatric malpractice allegations. It is a conflict of interest to generate and then exploit “dirty data” and “radioactive data” you douchebags.

That is not borderline personality. That is how a free woman who is not in your scammy cult would behave. This 14 fucking years of this fucking bs and this junk keeps growing like the damn Blob and it causes more and more rot which then you have more scammy jobs around.

Your bullshit jobs are killing real ones. This is the brute force method of a mediocre set of researchers without any self awareness.
You wouldn’t need 50,000 warehouses and brute force if you were a good scientist.

You fucking morons..that was the one thing I learnt as I went from being even more mediocre to mediocre. You don’t just collect data not knowing what to look for like idiots like Musk. You design an elegant experiment.

This is all a scam. Where are any actual elites? Can’t someone like Yan Lecun or that Prof Ryan Williams or Avi something (the cryptography prof) put a leash on these Pentland like creeps before they destroy all of society?
This field is a fucking cancer on all of society and science.

The far duller reality than crazy person is that women used to sexist and extractive systems have no reason to not be disgusted. I know women’s rights are not super “popular” right now, but that will change.

I am filing complaints alleging malpractice, misconduct, sexist harassment and other allegations locally and against my stupid and creepy former employer (while leaving out any scientists or HR from there-though the hospital will be reported).

Don’t condescend to me as if access that is clearly driven by corruption and illicit methods is actually about some issue I have. Or some new bs about schizophrenia etc. This is blatant fraud and I am filing every applicable complaint and telling this one journalist Yasha Levine the whole and possibly Chris Ketcham or Ed Zitron.

Complainants have the right to anonymity and this era of shitting on women’s rights will pass because women like me will pushback.

How the hell is one supposed to think about complex work involving math and biology and physics, that too as a mediocre and scientifically illiterate person when this shit keeps sucking away all the oxygen.

It is not my thing to suffer the hijacking of my home, street and devices and the strain imposed on my few friends/colleagues or doctors to keep this shit going and presumably not complain in the hope that I can participate in this junk and shill my own sad dreck in some nightmarish group from hell making a joke of genuine cooperativity while exploiting sexism, confusion and normal brain prediction errors under stresses forced by completely non consensual rot, use of force and chaos.

It is impossible to tell when it is signal and when it is a normal annoyance and the egg came first and there isn’t any chicken. This virtual scam should be destroyed. And it was not all dark web, “scam calls” wtc. These metaphors are garbage. A real janitor does real and respectable work. I don’t know what people at Facebook do, but it isn’t work.

I am not a damn influencer. I will destroy this entire ghastly experiment. Denny in The Citadel got it..it will be one piece of rottenness gone.

And I have to go work now. Though I was typing my throat feels strained as if I was yelling. Gah. Don’t make any more decisions involving my street, home or devices without my explicit permission first or I will escalate the shit out of this.
Don’t dare try to blackmail me using marijuana or modafinil. I contact the local police here myself with noise complaints. The local police and cyberpolice are decent and overloaded with dark web crap as is and this garbage or fraudulent fake white hatting/security theatre or other bs adds to the workload of anyone doing any routine work in any field and all for some mediocre virtual world douchebags with no idea how anything works but smash and grab.
