This manifesto is an implicit threat of future violence and should be treated as such.

Culture, discourse, law and voting have failed to answer such threats, and, to the contrary have elevated them to the highest levels of power.

It is time for more direct action.

and hinders attempts to normalwash their bullshit.

Honestly, I am taking it as a small stroke of luck that the TESCREALists are too high on their own farts and showing their power level too fast. With like only 10% more subtlety we'd be in a lotta fucking trouble; they're blowing their PR operation in a way that vindicates alarm raisers -

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

The worm connectome here isn't acting as a worm brain.

It's acting as a generic network, much as random recurrent neural networks are used in reservoir computing, here repurposed by DRL for fly walking.

Cell identities? Meaningless. Neural activity? Uninterpretable. Biology? Nowhere to be found.

Our digital sphinx shows that DRL is so powerful that it finds a solution even when the constraints are completely wrong: worm brain, fly body, zero cellular and circuit compatibility.

Give it a target behavior, it fits. It doesn't care about biology

We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked

What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective

We call it the digital sphinx

This is a core peril of connectome-body models: behavioral fidelity ≠ biological fidelity.

Virtual animals are powerful, but ONLY if brain-body interfaces are grounded in biology. A model that walks like a fly might just be a worm in disguise. 👀

EAT SHIT AI AND TESCREALIST FREAKS! REALITY IS COMING FOR YOU!

Anyway the more time has passed the more my stance on the encroachment of predatory gambling across all elements of society has solidified into a hard "regulate it all into a smoking crater in the ground" stance. Loot boxes, gacha games, draftkings, Magic booster packs, scratch tickets, nuke it all

I tend to like the term 'clique', as it also works with how much of a bunch of dweebs those dorkasses were on top of being the assholes that ruined... so much...

Of all the stupid things about this year, the Iran war reading like some Honor Harrington bullshit, with Iran as the Manticorans minus the idiot rightwing bullshit about welfarists in the america ref is the most idiotically surreal.

Dammit, what did @sixarmedsweater get got for?😿

So many of those isekai light novel adaptation bother me on the additional level beyond the normal "this sucks and is gross" level or even the "unoriginal or bad fantasy world building" level, but a "oh my god, this is horrific game design that doesn't understand the base principles" level

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

Liberals have decided that trans people are the blood sacrifice necessary to ensure a bountiful harvest. Some of them are probably just bigots who agree with the nazis, but others have simply decided that SOMEONE needs to be sacrificed and it isn't gonna be them, and this is mature adult politics

Like, I am not bloodthirsty by nature, at all, but above all, we CANNOT survive a recurrence of this.

Marat quote time:

“Five or six hundred [aristocratic] heads lopped off would have assured you repose and happiness; a false humanity has restrained your arm and suspended your blows; it will cost the lives of millions of your brothers.”

No more half measures; after what the 'anti-wokes did' and who they ended up unwittingly serving, we have to make a clean damn sweep to survive.

The domino before 'Lowtax bans Hentai (prompted by a pedoshit problem, as memory serves) was 'the lolicon boom'.

It seems to be a longstanding move to diminish the role of the conscious, deliberate activist. I remember when I learned Rosa Parks was a trained and experienced activist and not, as I had been led to believe, just a lady who decided to Do Something one day.

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.

There is a reason Ego is in the MICE acronym.

Stancil is a hero to the most lazy, malicious neoliberal cunts alive (YIMBundance dorks, pundits, consultants) because he's the first one of *their* class to ever *do anything* (ICE Watch)

He's their champ

So, they have to act like he's protesting *the right way* purely to left-punch protesters
