7. It's bad enough

That I feel like carrying around a legal disclaimer in online and offline engagements .

I got a headstart into these stupid things which I didn’t buy into then and I don’t buy now.

It’s sweeping the real world and the internet like kudzu. And well..I mean..I was already tolerant of a society anywhere with many things I don’t like but where large enough swaths of one’s life were protected by democratic rights and the gains suffragettes and feminists gave so much for.

And worst of all is a jostling slew of late to the party Cassandras who I absolutely support in their new grift. But I don’t want to accidentally get hustled into the new lame, blah Groupon that the old blah, lame Groupon has “evolved” into. Can’t we get a completely not amicable “divorce”…a metaphoric abortion?


I was already not super enthusiastic in general and then this unforeseen new shit which is accelerationist happened 15 years ago. It’s fundamentally stupid to say..”Oh it’s like the printing press..oh it’s like this or that.” How long will people fall for that shit?

There is no way to sugar coat stuff. I like Lina Khan. When I first saw this I didn’t want a damn Groupon with the kinds of blah people who..who will then represent you as extreme till things go wrong and then gloss over it and still pull the same shit.

It’s much easier to travel alone, but now one needs legal disclaimers in all interactions. “I don’t mean you or you or you or you. I definitely mean that person, and that person and that person and that company. “

It’s exhausting and exasperating ..dammit.
Man I love Lina Khan. She’s so..not a lame, blah Groupon.

What really ticks me off is physical AI and space grabs.

They are never ever ever ever getting goddamn thing from me without decent IRB and informed consent.

After this much sleazy Accelerationism they still want this sleazy lame middle ground that is extremist. It’s not objecting to a world this fucking right shifted that is extremist. It’s not doing that which is. Why would anyone trust the judgement of these guys?

I don’t try to meet some fucking basic standards to then endorse a blah, lame Groupon by bloody 2025 ffs.

If it was ai you could get past physics stack exchange..they are nice and obnoxious but also fairly innocuous…
I am not saying obnoxious is good but it’s better than dead-eyed cultishness.

I am already “moderate” within reason irl. But don’t shove accelerationist shit at me and then expect lame lameness. Yeesh. And immediately it becomes about how much weed one uses.

But these guys are so sleazy. Their standards are completely non uniform and they are definitley tilted towards the private sector, anything undemocratic and misogynistic.

They never acknowledge any errors. You can’t coexist with these creeps. And I am not litigious in term of suing for money.

But if they have such a problem with democracy and some regulation of the kind Lina Khan was bringing in and she wasn’t inhumane or carceral. But if these guys are going to be dicks about stuff while being all awwwwww about their errors and compromises with creeps..

Sorry Erronis. I myself sound like lousy AI as the poster above derided.
I would probably get deplatformed just about anywhere but on DU.

But I draw the line at getting “deplatformed” in my own home or my own street as these things encroach more.
They need stringent regulation and yesterday.

This is lame..
