Slopvangelical LLM thumper.

30+ years experience with computing, and I hate them.

They only ever do what you tell them to, and they’re not even doing that anymore.

This exact dynamic exists today between governments and economists.

Financial obesity is neurotoxic.

A healthy, well educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

No one who frames LLMs as AI should be taken seriously. The only legitimate association between the 2 is in fiction, ridicule, and jest.

LLMs are, at their core, regurgitation recipes of beige Soylent, refried at vague temperatures in non-deterministic air fryers, which were originally designed as HVAC systems.

I’m sure there are legitimately useful toys LLMs can be applied as, but I’m yet to observe any. One thing is for sure, a tornado in their horse wombs will never birth a submarine.

I’ll take AI seriously once an instance of Natural Intelligence is identified.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Grifters on a girder.

Advertising is one of the most prolific environmental pollutants of economic activity, and needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

He’s just come from servicing Bubba’s service member in the Situation Room, no time to reload.

The one Point he was not missed was when he was seen Turning to the left.

The level of scrutiny and ridicule levelled at an entity must be double the ferocity it pursues protection from them.

I added his entire discography to my library when he died, but found I had to explicitly exclude him from my general random background playlist as it was too jarring when he popped up.

I decided to include him again about 6 months ago, and I now find him tolerable as the rest of my library has grown in size and scope.

Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Much like religion being arbitrary rules cherry picked from schizophrenic Bronze Age fan fiction, current economic models are built as narratives manufactured to justify the existence, position, and legitimacy of a ruling class. Finance is merely mythology shrouded in enough mathematic formulas to provide the appearance of a natural, universal legitimacy.

Capitalism is absolutely the problem, but I don’t consider replacing it with something else, or eliminating it to be a viable response. My biggest problem with capitalism, and all economic systems, is the lack of consent. Capitalism should be tolerated only when conducted by those who have actively chosen to be exposed to it. Let them play in an air tight bubble where they have to recycle their competitively manufactured farts.

The resources they’re exhausting aren’t the physical components, it’s the production capacity.

The shit being fed into this ‘AI’ grift will have very limited reuse potential when their universe implodes.

What we’re seeing is a confluence of unconstrained parasitic consumption, and artificially constrained cartel production.

The parallels I see are with OPEC in 1973. JEDEC have found themselves in a position of power at the choke point of a Crucial industry, and are leveraging it to maximise profit and influence.

Unions of individuals are good for society, cartels of corporations are carcinogenic.
