Sucking on a salt lick like a horse to prove I’m a male.

They make me wish I lived near Indiana so I’d have a single reason to visit Indiana. Of all the living history channels I’ve always liked them the best.

Filing at the Last Possible Moment Because I Want the Pitiful $400 Basic Rebate for Pretending I Have Anything Worth Taxing Even Though I Have a Full-Time Job Gang

My name is Robin Antifa Hood and I am stealing from the rich because I envy them and their protestant work ethic. I will die because I chose violence over debate. The wealthy will surround me and cry for my soul, with close-ups on their faces so that everyone knows they’re sad someone has to suffer.

I’m absolutely certain of it. He got off so lightly on such serious criminal charges. That is a federal informant [at the very least] doing COINTELPRO, 100%, not a single doubt in my mind.

Alongside choosing to invade Venezuela because he saw Maduro slinging too much donk, I can’t get over how stupid this war is. It’s Stupid Ukraine when the Ukrainian War used to be Stupid Ukraine.

I think there are three ways to poison an AI:

1. Attack the training data. You’re probably right in that they aren’t training it directly on user inputs. I think LLMs might operate this way because they have access to a lot of other sources of data. Image and video generators have fewer sources, and in the case of OpenAI’s products they allow you to recycle the outputs. You’re poisoning it by making the outputs more unreliable.

2. Attack the computational power. For LLMs it’s not a big deal. For image and video generators, it’s expensive to generate slop. You’re poisoning the process by clogging up the queue and increasing their demand for data centre resources that surrounding communities hate. It can’t even generate unreliable outputs because it’s busy generating the equivalent of fully blacked-out printer pages.

3. Attack the platform. Sora’s front page is already as bleak and disengaged as 2010s Digg. It wouldn’t take much to flood the space with the same meme that’s altered just enough each time to evade filtering efforts. Maybe it’s Sam Altman eating the money under a photorealistic sea, maybe it’s a tech CEO with black hair urinating on money in a photorealistic recreation of the Hagia Sophia, maybe it’s a description of OpenAI’s logo with arms and legs swimming in a pool of molten gold while Jake Paul plays funeral music on a trumpet. You’re poisoning it structurally by further disengaging the community, turning some of it hostile to the platform, and discouraging any investor who opens the app.

There’s probably a more effective way of achieving all three that I just haven’t thought of. I can at least take a stab at 2 and 3, while 1 is dependent on those outputs being rehosted on other platforms that we do know they source training data from. Every reddit post with an increasingly regurgitated ChatGPT image claiming to be something it isn’t gets fed into ChatGPT.

Type 56: white guy dressed in a rotating series of Chinese military uniforms. He never mentions them. The 30+ minute videos are Chinese history with translated Chinese from primary sources, maps with primary research, and historical footage. Solidly communist across all of it, no more doubt about his background than I have for any generic hexbear poster.

Beau of the 5th Column: white guy dressed as a whiter guy. Can’t get through a ten minute video without saying “ y’all i reckon i’d ding dang dun fuck mah banjo iffin it was my cousin” as hay falls out of his mouth. Social fascist who turned out to be a human trafficking mercenary.

Scientifically proven.

They made the mistake of reintroducing a poverty food as a bourgeois treat that costs as much as a bourgeois meal. During the height of the modern fad, I never saw savoury oatmeal in a casual restaurant for an affordable price. It was always a $15+ dish at a shitty overpriced restaurant chasing every other trend. If I’m in a position to be buying an oat lunch, it should cost $5 at most to be on par with the most basic taco truck lunch.

I’ll never watch a video essayist who pays more attention to aesthetics than content. It’s the red flag that has consistently remained true since 2015. If you’re showing me some silly little skit, you aren’t showing me an argument. If you’re spending time on costuming that’s time you didn’t spend on research or sourcing footage that could replace the look-at-cartoon-me bullshit. If a serious person wants to wear a costume during their video essay, it stays consistent from start to finish without ever being mentioned.

It’s never steered me wrong. The channels I was immediately wary of because of that have all turned out to be weird social fascists.

There is no other response to anything she says, across her entire lifetime, than linking a picture of her and the Clintons.

Under communism, there will be one international urinal running the length of the planet and all workers will pee as one united class.

you can’t shit in a urinal

Maybe I’m just built different but that isn’t a challenge for me. I was probably a warrior in past lives.

The pottage they make is really interesting:

Pottage of chopped herbs: Mince, very fine- spinach, chives, parsley, marigold flowers, [chicory], strawberry and violet leaves. Stamp them with oatmeal in a bowl, pat chopped greens in with it: you may either put broth or water to them; if water, boil a good piece of butter in it; put [croutons] in the dish, and pour it over them.

It makes sense as a cold weather survival food with the few crops that would survive winter conditions in the US, but that’s such a wildly different flavour profile from any modern US regional cuisine. Marigold is only sold in foreign spice mixes, chicory is only a novelty coffee substitute, I didn’t even know violets were edible, and even savoury oatmeal is just a 2010s trend that fizzled immediately.

I wish the DSA would do these Maoist street trials across its other chapters. Most of the landlords and developers here are silently the most evil people in the city.

I don’t think I’d ever go this route if I had something to leak now. The only chance of getting something in the news would be to mass leak it to multiple major substack investigative journalists, individual TV and online news shows, and foreign news bureaus that aren’t directly aligned with the US. There are plenty of people in those smaller and foreign outlets who’d risk their reputation/legal consequences publishing the biggest story of their career.

edit: Especially if they know it’s a mass email where anyone else could break the story first.

Heaven’s Perfect Dumbass.

Hopefully it works out! They make cycling so much more fun.

I wouldn’t describe the USA as an empire.

Yet.

This is why you don’t let fascists in your life. They will sell you out the moment they can feel like a hero for doing so.
