Ow I liked it, the thanks was genuine.
Thanks, not that I really needed to be believed, I was just really annoyed that he does this whole thing about how the right does all kinds of things and then still falls into their trap.
He then says 'politically I'm an Ent' which is very funny, as I used that in a negative way here before. Apart from that his heart is somewhat in the right place, clearly he isn't a bigot (so I'm not cancelling the pig, im just going 'oof that was a particularly bad take in a bit of an iffy but well intended video. He will become really insufferable if somebody ever introduces him to grey tribe style Rationalism)
Sorry annoyed rant incoming, have no other place to put it in a normal way. Has nothing to do with out regular subjects, feel free to ignore. I just needed to scream into the void
Saw Lazerpig released a 'culture war' video (content warning for anybody who wants to look it up), in which he is doing a 'both sides should listen to each other' stick. (yeah, I know). In which he includes a bit on how Daryl Davis (the anti KKK guy) was called a white supremacist by antifa. Which was news to me, I never heard anybody near anti-facism call him that (but yeah filter bubbles). (I have hear a lot of people say they he gives KKK/racist members a shield to get back into respectability without doing the actual work, get lesser jail time, and that his work is only temporary and the places where he got rid of the KKK they just came back later). So I was annoyed that Lazer'talk to both sides'Pig didn't actually talk to anybody involved in antifa. But it got worse, as far as I can tell the event his is talking about took place in 2019, they protested against the alt-right being there, who according to event organizer Tim Pool(posted mostly for the picture) were not there. Other organizers are this guy (note the tweet about Jimmy concepts, as we talked about that fool more on that below in other threads. The myth thing he organizes also just tweets transphobia (funny thing, they started this org because of 'Zeitgeist: The Movie', aaaaa)), and a third guy who I didn't find any social media profile off. (Source for the organizers. Exactly the type of shit antifa says Daryls naively helps (Don't get me wrong, him convincing individual members is good, I just don't think he is without flaws (for example, the people he follows on twitter)). Do some research lazerpig, obv they didn't protest Daryl, they protested the other guys there, and Daryl got caught in the crossfire because he knows about the KKK, not the alt right. (the far right loved it, their 'they called Daryl a nazi' articles are all over the place). The racists nowadays don't don the hood, they wear the frog, and pretend to be hated by the KKK while planning marches with them.
(Posting it here because I had to get it off my chest (and it got worse the more I looked into it), and due to how the video is framed if I were to comment this people wouldn't listen to me and claim that I'm doing exactly what the video is claiming is bad about 'the left').
Yeah you are right on the zionism stuff, see also 'judeo-christian values' and how a lot of Jewish people hate it when people say that. I meant it more as a 'before the whole gaza invasion/genocide' thing. To show this anti-Semitic shit (in which I include his zionism) is a pattern, im not saying he had a 'come to Jesus moment' and suddenly repented his shit ways.
Normal fascist shit.
Indeed. He just went too mask off. Ironically in a way as he basically is doing that now re the (imaginary) people he says are further right than him.
For more of a primer, see my reaction to op. He has been a long term far right weirdo. One of those people that if you seriously listen to them you will get dumber as a result, he has jumped on all the far right culture war bandwagons so far, he is their 'scientific/academic social justice explainer' and he is just full of shit. Wanted to see if some breadtuber had done a video on him (This is the only one I found before I gave up scrolling past all the rightwing bullshit, sorry it is a bit corny) but jesus christ he himself put a lot of stupid vids out there. The problem of the cost of producing bullshit vs debunking it. Did find out he is a 'new atheist' who found religion. So 10 for 10 on those people being shit lol.
E: eurgh sometimes I don't like how much I know about all these weird dorks.
His claim to fame is this bs note how he eventually got too shitty that even some of the people who joined him on this disavowed him. Before his turn to zionism he dropped a lot of antisemitic dogwhistles. (Forgive me for quoting this guy but here is a (source). He also was too crazy for dr phil (source), a guy who shouts 'ok groomer' at lgbt people a lot, a proud manspreader (yeah, I hope you get the point he is wierd, like mega weird, but this gets weirded, he had some proud (I think now deleted) manspreader picutre you twitter with one of those sex cult women, NXIVM iirc), a sword guy. A white genocide guy, And this is only what I can recall on the top of my head. The guy is made for the 'weird' label, and any disavowal he makes should be reacted at like this
Graham wtf are you doing the man is a racist. We dint praise hitler for standing up to authoritarianism re stalin.
Also amazing finger on the pulse of where the pendulum is swinging towards. Putting trumpian fascism and being pro trans rights/diversity in some false equivalence.
E: also lol at including alleged TP0 (cremieux) 'death to people who do adultery' in a list of anti authoritarians.
E2: double lol doing this a day after James Lindsay post a similar but even more disingenuous 'mea culpa' 'I learned nothing, and im gonna make it worse' post (he blames a shadowy global group of nazis (which he also capitalized) behind the people who influenced him for everything, while remaining as anti-cultural marxism as ever (in style of posting not direct words))
Considering the competition for apple run bug bounties this seems unwise.
E: the black market value of ios bugs can be up to a million dollars.
Looking at the reactions here, this is clearly a trick by Altman to have people use their systems more in the hope it costs them money. Don't do it people, don't add to the energy usage.
"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible..."
E: this is the start of the bee movie script
Happy the article is skeptical of both the ai doomers and the ai as social interaction replacers.
Yeah that is why people called it confabulating, and not bullshitting.
Yeah but there is a gulf of difference between, he communicated badly and he lied
"Lied during the pandemic" wait what? Did LW do a 180 on covid, or is this a "they gave advice without knowing everything that was later shown wrong?" Because that is quite a dumb thing to say, also calling that leftwing is nuts. And last, did they memoryhole that Scott lied about the pandemic? He said people should stop smoking because it helped with covid. Not because he had proof, just because he thought it would be good if less people smoked.
E: oops wrong person.
E2: 100 upvotes, the conspiracy weird far right people have taken over.
I saw those but I think it totally removes the pros, also my second complaint is that conmen would simply not join, and this will not expose them as frauds and they cant be made to join as forced betting on yourself is a crazy idea. (Also increases upfront costs for everyone more).
It is all very much wargames.
Lol love how the good analysis just misses that people without disposable income are now excluded, it puts a price on participating in the public discourse.
The bullshit artist prevention also doesnt work, as we have a bullshit artist as the richest person in the world despite use being able to show all the bullshit he was wrong about but he still gets all the money. Despite there being no fsd, mars colony, covid over by april. Why would he bet on his takes that even now with all his exposed lies people still treat him like a nerdboy genius?
The paper clipping is nigh! Repent Harlequins
This shit os going to drive so many amateur pedo/etc hunters (who already are not the people who are good at being normal) into absolute crazy conspiracy theory land. Esp when they cant get the fake pimps (yeah pimps really, these cops seem to be like the military dude in the intro of ideocracy) arrested or banned.
E: on that note, saw somebody explain that their previous slightly hysterical, 'facebook is claiming searching for the concentration camps is a search for csam' was made in error as it was the word 'mega' (and another word) which seemed to trigger the warning. And below that people were still making up some crazy palantir is going to get everyone jailed for clicking a csam link conspiracy bullshit. I worry for the sanity of a lot of online people. People are so afraid they are blueanoning themselves
Remember the apocalypse slop buckets the rightwing grifto sphere kept trying to sell?
