also I was reading a sci fi book that was written by a... dude raised by secret society parents no doubt. in the book there's a genetically evolved slave race that's like vikings/siberian outcasts and they're the prime warrior sub-species. Interestingly when they're about to go into battle against something they fear or think a lot of them will die from they wolf down psychedelics

I was so confused when I found out about the whole israel/palestinians thing and found out infected mushroom was from israel and that israel is basically the hub of psychedelic music. do you guys like take psychedelics and go to war? psychedelics break the barrier between self and other and whatever you look at you experience as yourself, so for a warrior to take them baffles the mind because then you'll feel the evisceration of all your enemies and their screams as if you were the one it is happening to, so like what?

that's weird

also tho what are the israeli citizens saying about these

things is you end up with a DSL

and at any rate changing fields is job security well deserved

oh silly child, there won't be any humans to pay for them

@Lensflare idk what you're aware of. that just sounded like inanity to me. it's also really funny

idk how much of it is that code is spaghetti/sucks vs the person reading it just doesn't have enough expertise to know that's the best way to have done it

over time "cleaner" code becomes more efficient to write things in so the whole thing is a false dichotomy anyway... just don't get fixated in a stupid tunnel. if there isn't much difference between one way or the other you're over-optimizing unnecessarily/nitpicking and going off course lol

and yet we don't get any smarter

@whimsical ye but why would they pay you though. you can think you're important all you want doesn't mean you have the means by which to assert that in physical reality

@Lensflare oh, the idea universe that AI is accountable and not the people that made it. forgot about that slight of hand thing...

@Lensflare

>Btw. being wiped out from the face of the earth is far from the worst of the likely outcomes.

>This is one of the most disturbing things for me to think about.

what's the worst likely outcomes. I wish to be entertained

@12bitfloat the economy is divorced from consumers now, just rich people writing IOUs to each other cuz they're the only ones with such capabilities left (and everyone else is raking up credit card debt and buy now, pay later loans which they won't be able to pay back)

you still need infrastructure though. robots for repairing plumbing and electrical systems and cleaning your house like a maid. who needs consumer cars? automated private jets. it is strange to me air traffic control isn't done by a machine though

upsetting your co workers by changing the git in ways they can't comprehend I guess

... I should add we don't use them well

typically they're stolen, the thinkers of the age just extract the rulesets and take credit for them and so you can't find who they stole it from

and then you get that authoritarian bishop-class thing that are heralds of truth going. it's true because they said it, not because there was work put in to figure out that this thing was true

and over time we just distil it more and more into retarded forms that fit the current intentions of whoever is doing the distilling until everything becomes a malaise and then we go to war over standards, wars of beliefs like the religious wars, because nobody knows how we got here and just took authority on faith this whole time, and you wouldn't admit to that that would destroy your whole being so feeling threatened they destroy the other being

seeing things progress humanity seems to always get worse in terms of clarity and never better

sometimes some outlier comes in with dreams of a paradise and organizes everything and everyone hates them but they write some books that by circumstance survive and then we use those condensed systems hundreds or thousands of years later

but on the whole humans make everything worse and not better

cherries

evidently integrating my vampire/occultism escapades into buddhism. also secret societies make more sense. also humans don't have a conscience, which classically western learned people now annoy me about when they mention it. it's just the self-awareness part of your brain (which meditation trains) running commentary. it doesn't have special god-like powers lol. the mystics called this part the higher self and classic psychology calls it the superego, but it's just you watching yourself and isn't any better or worse than you or whatever

ALL THE THINGS CONNECTING AGAIN

I do find it odd that the psychiatry place suggested meditation for schizophrenics... like how does that make sense. I kind of want to go find out how they square it. probably it squares fine because they're not even doing meditation halfway properly lol

@donkulator eat 10 coqs

well just in time!

this guy's got a linkedin and a whole fake-ass business

you can tell cuz he has like 4 jobs on linkedin he started in 2025 and one of his earliest comments on linkedin he actually wrote himself.. and he doesn't speak english anything like all his other content

someone must be buying this stuff if he put in so much effort into being a fake person. even 1.2k followers, linkedin recommendations/reviews by people who don't sound AI. the photo of him looks like a real person

I guess this is the modern version of a go-getter

ai

@Lensflare i delete non-technical rants over time cuz search index and username linked to work-related stuff, but I also use here for getting things off my chest cuz venting place

you didn't ask tho, not even human in your eyes 🥲

liiiterallly oh my god lens of the flare

you're so spiiikey

looking like a psychopath might actually be a selling pitch at this rate. You'll have culture fit

ew

@awesomeest yeah the empty your thoughts thing is not what meditation is about

I hate it became a pop thing because it makes it hard to find the real stuff when that happens to items

you're not supposed to empty thoughts though just have them in the background in peripheral awareness instead of your main attention

I was also thrown off by that. even though I can quiet my thoughts over time. but it's just why would you do that. it's like a lobotomy. I have those things setup to ping for a reason

more disinfo to control the masses! *vibrates in conspiracy theorist*

@whimsical cuz they got cocky and went vs israel for a while

maduro gonna be replaced by a lady who is pro israel now

@whimsical trump seems to have been successfully owned by israel now

the maduro thing was israel. not a play. he's owned

it's actually the year of digital IDs according to "their" plans

@Lensflare ofc, taxes are what the government is actually after, everything else is just the sales pitch

"then disable supporting the peripheral"

it is a bit of an overoptimization though

like I can see people using unintended input methods to create niche control schemes to best other gamers with if this was a competitive game but probably the game wouldn't get that big and it's probably not competitive

there was a hot guy who offered me computer help when I was a teenager but I knew more than him so I laughed at him and had to decline...
