    There is a fiction singularity coming.

    As usual the cultists wishing for a Singularity(tm)(r) make it seem more like a threat than a promise of anything a non-cultist would want. :soypoint-1: :no-mouth-must-scream: :soypoint-2:

        There's this techbro turbo chud with a lot of overlap with the sigma grindset motivational turbo chud crowd, named Chris Fox I think, that was talked about previously here at one point.

        Before chatbot writing spam really took off, he was like a living breathing chatbot writing spammer. I tried to watch his "how to profit from self publishing" video series but he spent ten minutes per video jerking himself off for being a genius and the rest of the runtime was suspiciously mechanical rapid no-pause prose filling the screen to suspiciously rhythmic no-pause typing. Worse, what was written was "Mass Effect with the names changed." That's it. That's all it was. "Reaper Relay" became "Wraith Gate." :so-true: :brrrrrrrrrrrr:

          In all honesty I have no idea what the fuck the singularity is going to be and neither does anyone because as of right now it's just hopium crack techbros inject into themselves and the propaganda they make to justify silicon valleys existence.

            my position is that it simply isn't going to happen I think weird creeps started talking shit.

            It is precisely as reasonable to worry about the singularity as time travelling robots
