And what do they have to show for it? Those lame LLMs.
This is one of the biggest cons I have seen pulled off against humanity and it doesn’t even seem like we ever largely buy any of the bullshit or benefit from it.

Apparently we are all just too polite most of the time to acknowledge that most of this society runs on bullshit and consumption like an improvident religious/business nut or a crass shopaholic burning our way through time, earth’s resources and our own and destroying the few worthwhile things out there to make and consume more junk.

We will need a new social contract. I was a scientist though now I am just correcting an old paper and posting on DU about how I will be filing complaints.
These are creepy space invasions. I didn’t even know of crass rot like “data as oil”.

The slow pace at which society broadly got broken in with the accelerated version I saw, my early bird clarification is that I will explicitly extend what used to be common sense sexual harassment or other social contracts for the age of data mining etc
I feel sorry for the more decent techies or the more decent gig workers, but the CEOs are engaged in a space invasion, I at least will not allow.
I trust doctors and scientists. Not the managerial types and politicians and industrials behind this brainless 3 ring circus.


I was an actual and very mediocre scientist but still a scientist. I get how reality works and well mostly this species’ trajectory looks like a shit show. I think with rare exceptions most people I would have liked stopped having kids in all groups:

But I am not propping up an insipid bullshit debate that treats these dumb llms as if they are next door to light sheet microscopes or molecular biology. Bah..humbug.

They want an Idiocracy filled with people doing whatever “gooning” is so they have stuff to extort these stupid creeps with who then want the rest of us to go to the hospital for psychological disorders we do not have.

We will have to organize as a society and I am all for genuinely progressive new contracts, but no longer myopic ones with half-truths permanently straining the limits to growth. I have no martyr like instincts nor am I gullible.
This one super annoying field without much to show for it cannot have all of reality fgs.
