36. This is total bullshit

Either that entire field is swindlers, hucksters and charlatans or really stupid and basically pulling a Jan 6 on society’s reaources. Like every other science is defunded, underfunded, classified by now, including far more serious sciences like climate change.
This garbage rush for AGi..i respect Yan Lecun’s work. And you cannot deploy that at scale casually. It would be this buggy mess of chatting llms bullshitting.

Unfortunately I (and I suspect President Trump…sorry DU, I am trying to make a scientific point, unprofessionally enough;-/ so I have to skimp on rudeness somewhere..I am being rude about an entire, monied, powerful and super sleazy field. I can’t also directly be rude and not call people president etc. Besides I am being rude however I put it) get how those things “think”. Me with disgust at this type of guesswork based multiple choice style thinking and this is bs.

You can pull off a kind of patchy human and machine guesswork and it looks so lame and unimpressive. A field less corrupted would have many scientists tearing

In the natural sciences, that woman Holmes could not get away with it in academia. These guys don’t seem to have any meaningful academia. Prof Lecun seems to be one of the few honest people aside from Timnit Gebru (lol ..she didn’t last long at Google did she?) and Emily Bender.

At this point my guess is that with cybersecurity and probably data on all the porn all these various male creeps in society gratify themselves (these assholes -no offence to all the men or anything…sorry “bruh” but saving your stupid face is not worth more than all of every other damn thing and these guys would be that dumb) they have taken all the elites hostage and now swindle society with what is obviously total bs.

It is Theranos times a million but it is easy to catch frauds like Theranos.

This is a society where education and science and even basic common sense have been chucked for a set of metrics that portray a knack for making money or getting attention in any damn way - even

At least the doctors or pis in the real sciences should call these fucking criminal frauds in CS and this collection of sleazy and asinine CEOs-this imperious and stupid moron Vinod Khosla, that lunatic Elon Musk, that ass Zuckerberg, that blithering idiot Sam Altman- they should be calling these guys out.

I think they are too polite and it is breaking society. I read these things Adam Becker or even Timnit Gebru or Emily Bender write and they are all far too polite.
But someone has to say it…even if it is (and this is a cliche I protest as lacking even aesthetic sense) a failed scientist misrepresented as a raving schizophrenic or bot by these same damn shit systems.

I am not a very good scientist but I understand people and life better than herd followers this delusional. You only need some scientific training and average sense to see that before more vast amounts of infrastructure and societal commitments are made to thus junk, you need to show so much more than this.

All I am saying is I lost close to 15 years and my mom and I will take this to criminal court before i let my home, street in this godforsaken hell and life be sucked into this puerile fucking bullshit anymore.

This is such bullishit..and I am a layperson. But I would never say this about vaccines or any of the things people pettily pull apart which are nothing like this vast fucking scam. When economics - an already far less scientific field than the earth sciences, cannot even say what these fucking morons want to hear anymore when no exploitation/war or obscenity can jerk these people out of their stupor, then they switch to crypto.

I actually don’t think this is a race or gender or even class war as much as it is on many levels this one fucking shit field and that other shit field economics with a bunch of lousy trashy and criminal commercial art and athletics picking uo the tab wherever it is clear that these guys are fucking garbage at actual science

No one conducts science and reality like this. These people are criminal frauds and I at least am filing medical malpractice and criminal misconduct in human research made worse by slandering someones sanity and character.

I am so not in the mood for this. I am not ai taking people hostage.
I am human and I have seen enough.

I respect Adam Becker and he is too polite. These guys are creeps and frauds and all the real scientific elite are too polite or looked at regular porn and are crazy enough to allow these morons to have exactly one real product-cybersecurity and let society be taken hostage on that account.

Nothing else explains so much hype that is so lacking in justification and producing a junk economy no one even wants that all snoopware and terror and this is bullshit.

And I am not yet filing criminal medical malpractice and criminal misconduct allegations and trying to politicize this from any angle is bullshit.

These guys are hucksters, they are swindlers..these ai creeps. I have now seen enough of these worthless things to be appalled at so much overreach with no widespread social consensus

And based on this authoritarian responses cannot follow because that is too stupid.

You cannot get authoritarian with me. I am the wrong type..I am not a serious protester..But were I serious I would be in prison and I don’t want to go to prison. No rational human being likes attention for such fucking junk.

This is really stupid. These barbaric and brutal creeps are taking everything over..and they are these failed CS creeps who are in denial about what junk they are shilling as science, hoping that anyone who is not a total rube or in on the fraud, is too polite/looked at too much regular porn/is compromised in some way trivial way (if it was non trivial, those would be the people in on the fraud like our corrupt and malicious and brainless tech press-Yasha Levine/Andy Nikiforuk/Ed Zitron/Troy Farah and Chris Ketcham being notable exceptions) or is easy to label crazy/ or all of the above.
I think I fall in the trivial (pot) and easy to label crazy categories. And I protest that…

I wonder if Adam is this polite because he is simply not as cleverbot informed me I am “a rude little robot” (🙄 , or it is that he knows how crazy these guys are bts..these guys are fake convincing people who attack actually legitimate earth and ecological sciences as egghead smoke and mirrors.

I will draft a formal post if activist HQ about how I am initiating complaints asap. I would not sink another day nor more of my resources into this worthless junk and that is not a reason for the humans in this field to maliciously trash my cybersecurity and then pretend a bot that came tp life did it which these disgustingly corrupt insode yhe system liars frauds and criminals in CS would do.
There are tonnes of safety risks in society and there is a sane way to regulate them.


This is just a totally phony surveillance state. Like this is sleazier, scammier and stupider even by the lousy track records of human societies re: truly sustainable survival so far.

I am pretty sure at this point that they won’t get fascistic with me here in India. It is not that authoritarian here in India as your corrupt and creepy NYT etc make it out anymore than you guys are nazi germany.
But narratives like those get enough people quelled that they ignore real world signs which can avert such thjngs


This is all fucking melodramatic and it is…this is too much stupidity. I cannot endure another 15 years of stupidity. It is worse rhan alcohol even.


I am filing complaints asap. It is only regarf for my colleagues that kept me silent this long and at this point, if this were to be cataclysmic rather than ignored as usual so this corrupt and criminal war of economic attrition can continue, then they are screwed anyway.
I am filint complaints avout all the ai and assoxiated communication and other tech on my property and in my life in the past 15 years.

I am pretty sure a swat team from the US is not descending on me or any friends or colleagues.

But you know what, at this point in time whenit is still early enough it is a better risk than allowing this way to continue.
And I am pretty sure the better and more decent (ie ACTUALLY COMPETENT) people bts would encourage someone speakign out ans stopping this madness.

This is a junk investment andi will formally put criminal liability on the table for all the unidentified Indian or other ai and data companies as well as the giants-Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Jio, AirTel, Tata (I am 0000F5D7! That is a stupid number that keeps flashing on my screen they can use to identify the shrill person…Atrios would approve of the level of shrill I am attaining..he is an actual honest economist unlike that fraud/creep Larry Summers)

I am from Kerala but I hate and despise our communist govt. I have never seen a more corrupt or sleazy govt personally and I avoid all politics here in India. My dad likes the centre. I think in this situation attacking the centre doesn’t make sense right now. I don’t know if they are directly involved..
Lol..so lame. I am actually trying to calculate if I can pull off the sort of detente I have with my dad, when he tries various annoying things, with the centre. That is the point of “privilege”.
Not to be a sycophant or child, but neutralize needless conflict to move fwd with necessary confrontations. Conflict with these tech creeps is a given. And I am left myself and i dismiss as corrupt and creepy the Kerala “left”.
I am not a conservative and I feel conservatives with no specific stake in this, should back off. I can’t have every damn fight right now. These tech creeps are the issue and before the get away with this swindle and cover their rears, there is still time

Though I will if they start any shit. I use my rudeness with skill to figure out how many people I can piss off without personal consequences any worse than these.


This is not the time for stupid culture wars when non locally one can halt this sort of brainless tech progress sans any serious oversight.

I have seen enough. I will decouple my assets and resources from this junk surveillance economy anx its sleazy version of healthcare, art, prison reform, social change etc. I keep things simple.
