Here's a word we should add to our dictionaries:vericide

noun
ver·​i·​cide (ˈver-ə-ˌsīd)
: the deliberate and systematic destruction of truth

One of the chief uses of generative Ai is large-scale vericide.

vericidal (ˌver-ə-ˈsī-dᵊl)
adjective
: tending toward or producing vericide

Generative Ai is an inherently vericidal technology.

Spread the word.

I bet the whole "rebrand Ai as Super Intelligence" nonsense is because old soup-for-brains thinks "artificial" is why people don't like Ai. Like, he thinks it's a branding issue, because "artificial" has a generally negative connotation (not that he'd ever put it in those terms) but "super" usually means "good."

What scares me is that this brain-rotted dimwit has had the average American dialed in with scary accuracy before, so this is stupid enough that it just might work.

The year is 2038.

The Witcher 3 Re-re-remastered is released to rave reviews. Skyrim Fiftieth Anniversary Super Collector's Edition breaks install records on PlayStation 7. Meanwhile on PC, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 II Part Deux: Black Ops Cold War Redux Unleashed - Moscow Drift is met with universal acclaim. However, Apple's new VR headset, the Vision Air Pro 3 For Real Yall Third Time's the Charm Right falls short of sales targets, likely in part due to the $15,000 price tag.

"Meal prepping" is just premeditated leftovers.

I'm so fucking tired of the constant self-promotion, the omnipresent hustle culture, the fundraising, the "everything must be monetized" mentality.

Everything doesn't have to be spin to win. Life shouldn't be about getting rich, and I would love nothing more than for the people who say it should to be tightly packed into a rocket and fired right into the Sun.

Need to jot this down before I fall asleep and forget.

Professor Lawler et. al. ( @nprofile1q... ) have published important papers about the disastrous impact satellite swarms like Starlink will have on the night sky. They include lots of good graphs, buuut... a graph is one thing, a visualization is another.

It should be doable to build a #VR experience that allows the user to go back and forward in time to see first-hand what the ghouls are planning. I might try in #Godot.

Aight, g'night.

I still find it alarming just how quickly Ai-generated "content" has rendered mainstream platforms unusable. YouTube is all slop. Image search is all slop. Legacy social media is all slop. It's like a nuclear carpet bombing has wiped out the internet, and only the humble cockroach that is the fediverse appears resistant.

And yeah, there's slop here, too, and if I see you boost genAi nonsense that's my cue to unfollow, but for the most part this place is alright.

Keep being weird. It works.

Alright people, ideas please. How do we take down those idiotic space mirror satellites?
