He also put 'everything you post is now training data for ais' in his tos apparently. So nightshade poison those images and start building a following on other sites artists. (And as a non artist, reminder to self to like and repost more artists I like).

E: quick source

Yeah im trying to point how bog standard mass shooter neo-nazi this stuff is. Including claiming the far right things they say are not far right, 'normies' etc. next steps are either murder or being revealed as into 'lolis'.

(E: Btw don't get me wrong, these people are still dangerous (esp as one of their goals is always stochastic terrorism), even if they follow tired old patterns).

Later, he boasted of spending the next year “travelling around from major city to major city, just setting up these cells”

Iirc a few mass shooter manifestos also claim this sort of behaviour. So without more facts backing this up it might just be fight club cosplaying. (And yes setting up these kinds of paramilitary fight clubs is very fascist (and quite cringe and weird with the hitting each other, just go to a metal/punk mosh pit))

Sadly I think the only way to trust you are not getting a lot of AI art is by starting to follow a lot of artists you like on social media. Just going to a site which sells things seems a bit risky atm.

“Our balls are big, juicy, and oh-so-satisfying, served up in all the saucy ways you love.” Ah the 'make it naughty so it seems we didn't know what we were doing, to go viral' strategy.

iirc they had tools to import data from other wikis into theirs, but not tools to export.

I had heard some vague stuff about this, but had no idea it was this bad. Also, I didn't know how much of a fool RMS was. : "RMS did not believe in providing raises — prior cost of living adjustments were a battle and not annual. RMS believed that if a precedent was created for increasing wages, the logical conclusion would be that employees would be paid infinity dollars and the FSF would go bankrupt." (It gets worse btw).

Surely his reading comprehension isn’t actually this bad, and he only got a bad meme-cliffnotes version of the radio-series/books/movies!?!

Ow boy do I have some stories for you about his takeaways from other media he consumed. For example, and a worse take.

(There was also a take which I remember where he mentioned that in the Culture humans are basically pets of the AIs (which is mentioned in the books yes, but only by the people who are anti/sceptical of The Culture, The Culture itself makes it pretty clear they are not pets. (In the last book they even seem to fulfill some more vital role in keeping the AIs sane, and people have full autonomy in a way that pets never do)). Couldn't find this take sadly. As everything is now about the Haitian pets thing (erugh, racist shits), and also this 'humans are pets' thing is an not uncommon misreading of people reading the culture novels).

It didn't jump out of tech media containment, so it wasn't a mainstream hype thing, more a techworker hype thing. It was the data serialization standard which would save the web! Second life otoh, did massively jump containment.

Indeed, it isn't that Roko is smart, it is the bar is so low.

No, that’s not a base64-encoded private key nor a transcript of someone’s editing session in vim, that’s an XPath.
