“are you conscious? Would you tell me if you were? How can I trust that you’re not lying about not being conscious?”
Somehow more stupid than “If you’re a cop and I ask you if you’re a cop, you gotta tell me!”
They targeted redditors. Redditors. (jk)
Ok but yeah that is extraordinarily shitty.
Facehuggers are good, actually
The link opened up another google search with the same query, tho without the AI summary.

Ok, that's fair enough. The framing of "misinformation [...] I would like to seed" was just there to frame the bits. I don't really want these bits to take off.
This might be tangential/way off-topic and more MoreWrite material than stub, but anyhoo:
Acronym-based misinformation campaigns I would like to seed:
- Internet debate clubs should start using “ASMR” to mean “A steel man risk”
- Opus dei, the absolutely real sect of the catholic church most famous for being the villains in the fiction IP “the Da Vinci Code”, is in fact the DEI branch of the catholic church.
- The company KFC has been commissioned by the Chinese Government to use FLG in its marketing, standing for “finger licking good” to drop Fa Lun Gong in search rankings for FLG.
If I think of more I’ll post them.
god this like is like if the worst of burning man fucked TED
Burning man portrayed famously by Anna Gunn
Decel gang rise up
Putting philosophy talks at a music festival is one of those ideas you come up with to try and sound smart, cool, and edgy, but as a high schooler who has never done drugs nor been to a live show before.
Anyway I went through the lineup summaries on the wikipedia page, two notes:
- No Jay Shetty! His particular brand of grift philosophy and thinly veiled clout chasing would fit in exactly at this sort of event. Then again, this festival might actually be beneath him, as he hangs out with hollywood a-listers.
- The lineup noticeably hits its turning point into a nosedive when they start hosting Pinker in 2018.
I mean, I know who Penrose was, but from the context I assume he’s probably acutely suffering from Nobel Disease and I have zero idea what he’s been up to outside of physics.
He is busy being 93 fucking years old, lol
And isn’t Corbyn just a boring lefty UK politician? Does he have like a philosophy background or something?
They probably couldn’t get Bernie.
Christ on a futa dick
He is risen!
I think I was turned from “China probably bad” to “China might be good” when a tankie subreddit pointed out that China actually tries to rein in the billionaires and collect taxes.
You’ll accept my belief and like it, dammit! /s
I believe you!
What dedication to the grift. We are real-time seeing the downfall of US influence due to the trade war shit and this MF is saying the solution is “LLMs need more ‘lectrolytes”? This world is done for.
Ugh, what a piece of shit.
even some of the people who joined him on this disavowed him
Normal fascist shit.
Before his turn to zionism he dropped a lot of antisemitic dogwhistles.
For a Christian nationalist, zionism is an antisemitic dogwhistle
He also was too crazy for dr phil (source)
He’s probably malding over the fact that he doesn’t have Ben Shapiro’s career.
I’d also like a primer! That being said, I decided to take 1 minute of psychic DOT and looked at his profile. His Bio:
Perennial outsider. Cancelled by both sides. Pro-America. Anti-Communist. Anti-Fascist. Based af. Liberty First! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Chud shit. At best, he’s a Pinker-esque centrist (and therefore a cryptofascist). At worst, a Nazi. My bet is Nazi.
Scrolling through some of the tweets, it’s clear that:
- He is a Zionist, and therefore a fascist
- He is currently in a twitter feud with Cernovich
- He believes in some kind of “Woke Right” that will apparently destroy the GOP if left unchecked (read: un-killed)
- Yarvin wants to adopt him
Not a great guy, it seems!
E: at the very surface of his tweets, he takes every opportunity to denounce fascism. What he is really opposed to is authoritarianism, or more specifically, dictatorships. Normal chud shit.
Godel Escher Bach but worse
If Palantir represents a veritable unknown for the public, so too could its UK chief, the grandson of Oswald Mosley and nephew of former F1 president Max Mosley.
Ah, yes, noted grandfather and nothing else, Oswald Mosley. Definitely not the founder of British Union of Fascists, please don't look into that. His son was in the racecar business, isn't that lovely?
