There is no need to panic truly. But things have gotten to the point where I have to say something, because this is all so indirect and intangible and it looks like so many things breaking at the same time with very few people sounding the alarms in the right way and those are all people like me, who are more or less directly or indirectly in the path of a juggernaut of stupidity with no relief in sight.
A war of economic attrition with rarer forays of violent brutality is what I am worried about. But the former increases the odds of the latter.
A super secure bunker or a billionaire sugar daddy and doxxing attacks on unpopular people like myself, could work out for you, in which case some people in there will ensure that no matter how much you try to destroy information by pretending everything is a deepfake and ai
This is not kayfabe or insanity. I wish I could go and work. I have a sometimes malicious antagonist inside my own head at least who mocks me incessantly when I engage with society in any way that is not dullest routine. So you can be sure I take no pleasure in this foul task.
I infuse it with personality and humor only as needed to communicate what can seem like threadbare insights (that would be the malicious antagonist inside my head I referred to)
Worse, my hope is that after some writing that makes my heart pound as it so uncharacteristic (I hate unnatural animal behavior), I can return to the comfort of my own research and all I will remember soon (as this is so unpleasant a chore for someone of my type) is some melodramatic and vague screed online (the antagonist inside my head is more vicious than any other. Nature intended me to be a dull woman who does dull things and I protest the avalanche of self-serving, inane, opportunistic human stupidity with occasional forays into equally senseless undirected malice, that has reached a crescendo of mindboggling all sided human stupidity that tries to then blame some clunky ai and agents - cant fool all the people all the time you dash dash dashes..who stuffed those stupid smart things in everywhere destroying all accountability and regulation? You guys are unbelievable..Seriously man..You are a totally amateur type of evil.
But this transactional exploitation of the Idiocracy has already lead to the death of one person who meant the world to me - my mom. She had an excellent oncologist. He is my oncologist, because he is one of the few people I trust completely.
And dont stalk me or him..idiots. You will be mocked mercilessly if uoi
I dont exist in a safe secure corridor. I have to guard my anonmity and life with dubious 🙄 exercises like these that I can only perform when I
glum enough
It is not depression. This society is depressingly stupid with pathetic attempts at malice, but being a jester is a scary position when dealing with a goliath of muscle and stupidity that can smack one down
But I am not a joke person and while I come up with tragicomic strategies for dealing with whatever a kraken is like concluding that while Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are all candidates for the kraken, Pichai might be low hanging fruit, not because of racism so much as..
I post here and am genuinely grateful to EarlG who I support fully and who can always count on such mediocre kraken skills as even I can try to muster up. And I trust him enough to permit me
I use this board because I trust EarlG/Skinner and elad not the Democratic party per se. As a formerly publicly funded
And as I have no intention of ending up like poor Dr Fauci who was altogether too respectable to deal with this, if my respectable strategy fails I plan to randomly throw arbitrary people to the kraken..Isnt that the mood of the times?
But I never make false allegations etc. This stuff of using dry facts and statistics is not working out.
And only someone in animal survival mode as I am can even attempt to pull this off.
It is unthinkable to me that another person in my network faces further economic attrition or worse because of this mindnumbing stupidity. And I could not live with myself if it was because I either said something when I should not have or did not when I should have.
I live in a state of constant internal tension which I can handle with just enough breathing room. Most people who choose professions like science are very intense. You feel stupid all the time as is.
But it should not be the kind of stupidity where you are yelled at by blustering fascists or morons with no damn self awareness who keep shifting blame and hoping no one will ever say cut it out.
I have seen enough. I request your ears ladies and gentleman, whatever your race, gender, caste, creed, religion or even political affiliation if you are more or less honest and decent and care about anything but the most solipsistic, selfserving and senseless notion of survival.
Please do not keep trying to find me unless you have clearance. Because that is an alarming sign of poor data hygiene. Further it would completely invalidate my function as a citizen scientist and affect other people in my network you projecting, attention seeking morons. A few people know who I am and that is enough.
Do not..I repeat..do not pull this bullshit if you do not know what you are doing and thus far my sense is a subset may and a subset definitely dont (I shall get into sparing no detail) and the rest need to at the very least get a message because I am starting to lose patience.
It is one thing to make genuine errors. I have made many. It is another to not care at all and be so deep in kayfabe you cannot tell what is real and what is not. Please try to redeem yourselves to the point where I can at least spare most of the morons provided this is never repeated again.
Do not try to pin the blame on someone else for your greed, opportunism and malice.
Not one thing
The only time my gloom lightens a bit is when I see the stuff you are still unbelievably trying to shill as ai. The ai winter cannot come a day too soon and without a cottage industry of Solaristics analyzing these things as all worthwhile research gets defunded.
I have lately been eying Josh Hawley in this blind orchestra of malicious nonsense as a Republican who unlike disgraceful people like Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has some genuinely populistic instincts if he can work in the bipartisan way with democrats to lower electricity costs.
I have no interest in even visiting the United States again. There is no point. I have already visited once and it was interesting, fun and useful.
I like Americans and I love Yasha Levine and Evgenia Kovda but I also really like Matt Stoller as much as I like Alec Karakatsanis and Briahna Joy Gray (;-/ someone with a version of my own penchant for getting kicked out of eveywhere).
But I try to not get kicked out at least of DU which is as reasonable a balance as I can find.
I notice everything as I try to avoid this nightmarish hellscape that has driven me to post online.
And I would not start my own blog and hope that if I ever overstep a line, EarlG sends me a blunt email telling me To pipe down. Or dumail from
MIRT or hatrack or rhiannon etc saying silence jfz9580m).
I cannot manage without trustworthy colleagues in any realm I dubiously enter.
And I am very well to the left. And I love left wing media which is the one place where the moxios influence of corporations and politicians has not destroyed all reality. The left that balances as Nathan Robinsons Current Affairs (minus Yasmin Nair and Musa Al Gharbi -sorry this is a burgeoning slow emergency not a moment for testing out disingenuous self serving curmudgeon personas as a replacement one has ton
If you cannot distinguish between Dr Fauci and climate scientists and your own bullshit on substack, you are not a real curmudgeon but one with as corporate friendly an effect as Lyman Stone etc. And it is a shame to lose the nicer curmudgeons like Bill Maher and Ricky Gervais for this type who embraces the culture war while pretending to be against. And always portraying science wmd
But I cannot any longer endure this stupidity from so many sides that I sit back slack jawed.
The stuff Hawley is doing is more useful than the broken theatrics and bullshit symbolism behind this broken model of immigration that is useful to grifters like Steve Bannon and Cato. Lowering electricity prices and banning TikTok are fighting the good fight whatever the EFF -a fraudulent and awful Silicon Valley astroturf group -says.
I was listening to the wags over at chapotraphouse and wondering how to put this so it is clear these are not vicious attacks so much as - this is too stupid and way less fun than
It has goaded me out of my untidy lair where I sit hating everything. And it isnt a conversation dammit.
You are all collectively building an unlivable society and it is no longer possible to say the sanest thing is to shut up and work hard for jobs that no longer even exist, while someone thinks it is a bright idea to go and rile up a short tempered random like me who has no wish to speak truth to idiocy.
Come on!
Locally I have been looking at Ajit Doval, the national security chief in India because these rollouts look like a genuine security risk to me. He is the type of person my dad likes and my dad and I get along very well..a real world example of left-right cooperation inside the same house. He does watch a lot of rubbish on tv. For all that in a crisis he is pretty good. This isnt one yet and I would rather it never ever became one for all the people in my local network - my doctors (though never any hospital admins
And if you are worried about being scapegoated unfairly I am your friend whoever you are. But if I cannot even ever have a say because I get kicked out by the dumbest and brashest people..
This stuff of throwing samples and yelling This is rubbish! Garbage! That is not real muscle. It means you are a terrible manager who blusters and generally an avoidable and awful human being. These bullying sycophants have too much power.
I loathe having to be all..I am Serious! But I cant take anymore of this unbelievably stupid crap.
I am overtly on the left, but I can respect honest conservatism in the kinds of fields that left-leaning people like me rarely choose- military, police work, cyber
I choose and always will the dullest kind of publicly funded research. But I have seen your ai and that thing seriously should never be a reason to defund real research on climate change for this rot an ass like Elon Musk or those morons at Palantir push.
The same inefficient, inelegant wasteful investment while destroying millions of years of animal and human evolution.
No ai went into this writing. But a lot had to be systematically pushed back inside my head to bring it back to its baseline sanity.
I would argue to say Josh Hawley (the only republican who some serious errors aside) is not entirely engaged in pure kayfabe that as Peter Kalmus pointed out in Current Affairs not a right wing rag that a climate crisis that escalates the refugee crisis will further destabilize every country in the world and I dont have a bunker Senator Hawley. So if people like you could work with democrats like Sheldon Whitehouse and appease your base I would be less worried as an Indian with no desire to migrate anywhere (though just for my learning I do like to travel - you do understand more about how everything is breaking if you do) this race to the bottom model of immigration is destabilising my own life here in India.
I request you not to alert on this post DU. I am not pushing Hawley. I back Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Talarico etc.
Hawley is not wrong about TikTok. EarlG posted about electricity prices the other day and at least Hawley and Blumenthal
I have a lot to say because without it being the failt of any scientist, doctor or basically honest human I have met in the last 14 years, I have suffered loss after loss after loss
and now I can see more ahead and well Cassandra sounds like a really annoying person with no survival strategy.
I picture her as a kind of annoying knowitall.
All I am saying is that as of now I have never had to throw total randoms under the bus unless this counts:
Hey Hennessy, your OnlyFans page is rubbish! It is garbage! Do something you jerk. If a prolific snoop like you doesnt know how to help who does? Hat tip to a feminist I admire a lot as opposed to the lameass girlboss- Evgenia Kovda
.
I used to think I hated John Hennessy. And then I saw a video of him and realized that he is not actually a bad guy. Unlike all these counterfeit nerds who are actually tabloid friendly creeps with no gravitas, Hennessy is I suspect is not a bad guy.
Of him at least I can actually buy that okay this guy really has no clue how humans think except for the 2 million X, I work 1 billion hours a week and have no sense of humor producers balanced out by various sycophants with some worried humans with both specialized and general intelligence in his orbit.
I would not talk to academic elite except my mentors and best friends and I avoid even them these days and
The last I was this worried..
Common Hennessy..Earth to man.
Sighs
Something needs to be stopped and we all have to work together to exactly find it and end it with only the truly maliciously self serving blamed, the truly blundering and brash getting defunded (think Harjinder Singh-I have never met anyone like that in my time in the US. I left the US in 2014 for the last time).
Please stop destroying worthwhile things for garbage like those data centres.
And stop calling me crazy or childish. It fucking pisses me off. I get to be profane and like this!
I have the right to not see endless stupidity all the time.
The awesome Andy Nikiforuk and Yasha Levine who get how to allot left right blame as opposed to self serving embrace of Mitt Romney, are the reasons I have brain cells.
Hey you demon Hennessy..Like in The Good Place I want a pact with a demon and he is the best quality demon I have seen.
Do I seem disrespectful or like a standup comic you..you
damn reallife Sheldon Cooper. Damn you Hennessy..you dope.
Lina Khan is not a dope. You are a dope with your duuuuuur mouthbreathing forays into human behavior. Pony up man! This is believe it or not a compliment from a big tech hater.
