Slop.@hexbear.net•[CW: transphobia] Asking "allies" to read another bookEnglish
8·2 days agoPolyjuice is up there with love potions to me. You’re directly taking advantage of someone else without their consent by literally taking their body.
If it’s consenting partners body swapping or whatever for kicks, sure, but it’s mostly used to lie to people.

news@hexbear.net•US military bases in Gulf 'useless' after Iranian strikes, experts say. One expert said it was 'highly unlikely' the US Fifth Fleet will ever return to the Gulf state of Bahrain.English
31·2 days ago“Those bases were not a deterrent against Iranian attacks. Instead, they became the target of those attacks. They became magnets for those attacks, and as a result, reliance on the American security umbrella really seems to be in shatters,” Parsi explained.
Big glowing targets that say “hit us here to cripple our ability to kill your people”
One outcome of this may be the Gulf turning towards Israel to make up for their inability to “find some sort of an arrangement with Iran”, he said.

77·3 days agoMy stepfather-in-law is a pornographer. It is difficult to get his attention in an erotic scene because he is lost in wonder. We were in a porn theatre together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to come up with a new concept today. I will never forget his answer… ‘We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.’"

This reads like that story of how ChatGPT hired a guy on Taskrabbit to solve a captcha that was entirely woven out of wholesale bullshit. I’ll believe it when researchers demonstrate it independently.

18·5 days agoThe overconfident tone is baked in. LLMs don’t have knowledge or world models, and all text they produce is nothing more than statistical relation of input to output based on frequency of appearance and semantic closeness. Therefore you can train the things to lean towards doubtfulness (nobody will use them) or confidence (wow, it must be true if it’s this certain). It’s abusing the human tendency to anthropomorphize to sell a really shitty product.

8·7 days agoYou’ve never gone and explored a thrift shop or an antique store? Or stopped at a roadside produce stall some farmer put up to operate on the honor system? Or just fucked around in a mall with some friends? You don’t need to purchase anything to shop, but the act of looking at stuff is inherently kind of engaging and so corporations try to lure you into taking the stuff home.

$10/gal gas is going to cause price spikes in literally everything at a time when income inequality has never been higher, and while job precarity is through the roof due to the push for labor automation through LLMs doing things worse. I’m not even going to get into the eco-anxiety of living in our present era. Shit, even the hogs will be mad because all their treats are made overseas and Trump can’t stop creating new tariffs.
I fear this is the summer of adventurism as a hundred million alienated and disorganized people start taking potshots at the perceived source of their deprivation and depression.
