I apologize that the next three weeks is just going to be a lot of pictures of my mouse melons

the proposed tactics of a superintelligence, as imagined by internet rationalists, are the tactics of an abuser.

think about what this says about how they imagine - and idealize - intelligence.

@hyperlink@snouts.online Next you'll turn into a fixie enthusiast and grind your own peanut butter.

Work, PH 

Feel shitty about calling out today, but I winced at typing that first sentence. I've got some badly damaged muscles and tendons, so why do I feel like a slacker for texting my boss that I physically can't cut any more pea shoots today?

and of course there's the Pain, but that's a Given.

@kelseyhusky I should probably chat you up on telegram sometime, and get a good read on You so you can warp pipe past some trauma and pull some speedrun shit.

Besides, wouldn't be Kerithe taking on a client, you're a Robot, this is a Tohri thing.

@dhivael@dragon.style Finally a bar both myself and @budgiebin@snouts.online can feel at home at.

re: Econ, Scarcity 

@Azure You have a good argument.

I run a risk here, in saying that it's the same risk explored in the prog rock piece 2112, where all art and creative expression has been catalogued, categorized, analyzed, and generally subjected to right brain dissection, and free artistry is meaningless in the face of a collection of pre-recorded great works.

I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but I used to be one of the "Hurr-durr Communism Bad" people.

We're already in this hellscape however. Just the Capitalist hellscape described more in Lloyd Biggle Jr.s "Tunesmith" where music has been so slaved to corporate interests that Live Music is an unheard of concept, if it isn't the content of an Ad.

In our Society, Now, we can educate One Another, and avoid both these dystopias. All we need to do, is make sure we keep talking.

re: Lewd, shitpost 

@Cilich That sounds like a Cramp waiting to happen.

@Caudle Derg is on Masto?

Haven't seen them since Tumblr went down...

@dhivael@dragon.style They freak the fuck out when you're that good in actuality.

It's Sensory Hell, and a great way to drive yourself completely insane if there's a Narccisist around, but if there's folks who are Hurting, well...

It's like being a First Responder, we Run Towards and Into burning emotional buildings.

@kelseyhusky Okay cool, you have a co-worker with an abusive husband too?

Imagine having crazy psychic powers like being able to read people's thoughts and emotions and Know things about them, after a few conversations with them.

Imagine that you're consistently accurate with these powers, to the point it's a bunch of "Oh Gods, Not This shit again"

It's a super useful power. The downside is that it can't be Turned Off.

@frameacloud All my otherkin friends are feeling some kinda time warp lately, I wonder what's up.

@Felthry John Galt is the main character of Atlas Shrugged, the seminal objectivist piece.

I.E., the big bad book of capitalist evil
