Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

      Wow I’m mad, I’m going to read your username aloud to my partner. I’m sure they won’t be weirded out by that at all and blankly stare at me.

        What if the partner was actually LLM based and had a large database of validating statements to draw from to affirm how senpai just totally owned UlyssesT there? thinking-about-it

          How does it feel to have so many rent free accommodations? It really is surprising the amount of reactionary bullshit that crops up here. Currently stuck in an argument with someone claiming that 1984 is actually a masterful thesis on propaganda and isn’t actually anti-USSR. There’s more pretzels in here than a bakery!

            How does it feel to have so many rent free accommodations?

            It takes me back to college where I roomed, went to class, and argued with lots of "leftist as they come, buuuuuuut" types that superficially wanted legal weed but otherwise delegated all ideas of improving society somewhat to billionaire grifters and whatever they were peddling that year (I still remember "E-L-O-N to Mars by 2020!" for example, and that was supposedly a conservative estimate that was challenged by bazinga optimists back in the early 2000s).

            Just like the jagoff in this thread, their so-called leftism was more like "wanting nice things in the future" daydreaming that was actually loaded with contempt for common people and in some cases deep seething misanthropy in general.

            Just about all of them became chuds by the time I graduated. Some work for the military industrial complex now. Others for the corporate surveillance state. I'm sure there's still brittle flaked old stickers of "I want to change the world for the better" somewhere on their ideology, but it's covered by armbands now. scared-fash

            Oh hey, did you see the new computer toucher who showed up to stan for the other computer toucher about how it's actually smart and logical and full of science and facts to reference drop fucking Blade Runner, again?

            It's especially rich when they smugly talk about us superstitious barbarians believing in fairy tales while stanning that nakedly for their own blue curtained interpretations of their treats to the point that they cite the fiction as if it were grounded reality.

              Movies could open with scrolling text that just tells you what the point of the film is and techbros would still think it’s about how LLMs are sentient.

              They really are just evangelicals with a different coat of paint. Once the grift dies and President Only 99% Hitler takes office, I wonder how many of them will eagerly join the firing squads. Pseudoreligious delirium is a core part of fascist ideology after all, and these people seem to have a desperate need for it.

                There's at least two computer touchers in this thread, posting in the last hour, that really want to touch that computer and want to feel like that computer isn't just being prompted to go "nyaaaaah, seeeeenpai" when prompted to do so. pathetic

              It is the same computer toucher (me). Talk to me if you want to talk to me, instead of running back to gossip with your friends.

                You're one of a few (you) and you're not even the most interesting one. Get in line.

                    Coming from you, I'll take that as I'm doing something right. rent-free

                    Also, if Blade Runner is a valid source for your argument, I cite Undertale for my side of the argument, and refuse. ralsei-wut
