they really are just sitting around the campfire telling the exact same shitty spooky story, back and forth, forever, aren't they

what if we simply took the output of the easily manipulated word salad generator and parsed it into instructions for the computers that are in charge of all our communication to follow
Well over a year ago it was actually useful. [...] And it just doesn't come up with interesting stuff any more.
i have to admit i'm deeply curious what outputs you considering interesting enough for twenty bucks a month
I don't think emojis should be the place to have a socio-political discussion.
have some entirely non-political emojis:
🗳️: BALLOT BOX WITH BALLOT
🇹🇼: FLAG: TAIWAN
🇵🇸: FLAG: PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES
🗽: STATUE OF LIBERTY
🤡: FACE OF "NON-POLITICAL" PERSON
i couldn't resist
at least when this rhetoric popped up around crypto and GameStop stocks, there was a get-rich-quick scheme attached to it. these fuckers are doing it for free
And yet, my opponents in discussion
good gods you're going to be the most insufferable kind of person, aren't you
You aren't going to convince me of anything
this was a bit of a given

you do an excellent job of writing. several times reading this i had to mentally delete paragraphs of explanations for some of the rationalist thoughts and ideology because you have described it perfectly in just a sentence or two.

What of the sources he is less favorably inclined towards? Unsurprisingly, he dismisses far-right websites like Taki’s Magazine (“Terrible source that shouldn't be used for anything, except limited primary source use.”) and Unz (“There is no way in which using this source is good for Wikipedia.”) in a virtually unanimous chorus with other editors. It’s more fruitful to examine his approach to more moderate or “heterodox” websites.
wait sorry hold on
in a virtually unanimous chorus with other editors
so what is the entire point of singling out Gerard for this, if the overwhelming majority of people already agree that far-right "news" sites like the examples given are full of garbage and shouldn't be cited?
Note: I am closer to this story than to many of my others
ahhhhhhh David made fun of some rationalist you like once and in turn you've elevated him to the Ubermensch of Woke, didn't you
as someone who only draws as a hobbyist, but who has taken commissions before, i think it would be very annoying to have a prospective client go "okay so here's what i want you to draw" and then send over ai-generated stuff. if only because i know said client is setting their expectations for the hyper-processed, over-tuned look of the machine instead of what i actually draw
