I have a friend who's become a andrew tate/jordan peterson type 37 year old twice divorced guy. And he uses chatGPT to write almost every correspondance now including to women he wants to meet up with and I never understood the logic. This thing simulates a human writing aren't you a human? just write. isn't the fun of flirting that you're like connecting with someone with what you choose to say?

its the most alien thing in the world to me

like meeting up with a girl, handing over a vibrator and leaving the room, thinking you've scored

Mastering the AI so I can spool up as much passive income from generated work as possible so I can buy as many dildos and vibrators as possible for as many different sex workers as possible so I can go down in history as the guy who hosed more than anyone else

Well, there are community centers in some places. Sometimes they're self-organized leftist soup kitchen type places. Sometimes they aren't even entirely bogged down by endless bickering over stupid questions like "is salt vegan" and "is mayo bourgeoisie" and only occasionally end up with someone being driven out of the city because they used paprika which makes them a colonizer

composition and focus alone meant that photography was never an unbiased, complete snapshot of a moment in the first place. the posters complaining about this creating a fake reality already are putting too much faith in the truth of photos.

swapping faces is done by professionals and skilled amateurs already, and this AI feature is part of the process of deskilling them

this is a change in quantity, not of quality when it comes to the artifice of a photograph

The change in quantity is the issue. A sufficiently skilled editor can already basically do magic. Having any dipshit be able to fabricate whatever bullshit they want is going to make poo poo way worse

i can't speak for the rest but worm deserves a few dozen content warnings if you do dive into it just so anyone who is considering it knows, poo poo's rough

Worm is great. It's basically "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" turned up to 11. It's Wildbow's first major work so it's kind of rough in a lot of places, character voices are all kind of similar, and it stretches real bad at some points where Wildbow didn't really know where to go next, but overall it's still good as hell and a pretty entertaining read. Dude knows how to tell a compelling story and Taylor is pretty much the perfect protagonist for the story he's trying to tell in that setting

It's at least got the decency to be discreet about the worst stuff. It's not particularly graphic about most of the darker subject matter, often leaving it up to heavy implication. Less so about the violence, which can get pretty loving brutal and creative

And hey, Worm underlines a really important moral I think we've all already known: lesbians can kill god

its just like an anime because worm also refused to admit that they're actually lesbians

Hey now, Wildbow was very upfront and open about Parian and Foil being lesbians, in love, in love with each other, and also willing to completely bend their moral compasses if it meant getting to stay together and continue being lesbians in love with each other. For all his flaws I'll give Wildbow a lot of credit for slathering open queer representation all over his works

This worm story is ok but dear god it needs an editor so badly

Hey you don't write 1.7 million words over 2 years without...uh...writing a few too many. It's funny, Worm is what made Wildbow popular but it's also arguably his weakest work. I liked it a lot because it goes to some wild places and it's pretty drat entertaining, but his later works hit some really mature and tender notes on subjects way bigger authors won't even touch. Worm is just really fun for getting to watch a bullied teenager slowly become the most dangerous woman on the planet in a way that feels completely natural despite her power just being control over nearby bugs

Some long while back I read a thoughtful article that coined the term "ghostmodernism" for describing the state of interactions online, i.e. when you're commenting on something someone posted online, you're not really communicating with them, you're just communicating with a trace of who they were at some point in the past - the real them is already gone. We're now moving to an even dumber and more disconnected form of the internet where we'll be interacting with mirages of things and people that weren't even real in the first place. I don't have a witty term for it or anything, it's just gonna suck poo poo

I grew up at a time where teabagging someone after killing them was just a thing people regularly did (online, not that that should need clarification) so it's really hard for me to feel strongly about it, but I suppose context changes things. Creeps should be banned from all online spaces anyway with no tolerance

i used to build stages for concerts & stock warehouses, and now i touch computers in an office

i hate both, but i hate the sitting in an office chair less than i hate carrying heavy poo poo and getting up super early

Back when I worked construction we had a guy working with us who got into the field because he was tired of working at a desk doing computer toucher stuff and wanted to work with his hands. He seemed alright with the job but I got the impression that he was seriously rethinking his choices. He almost certainly took a solid pay cut to do a job that’s way more exhausting so I do hope he went back to his old job eventually

the Vision Shuffle constantly shifts your sight through countless viewpoints every few seconds, like Warioware. also, it locks onto your face so you can't remove it.

A cyberpunk story that kicks off with the protagonist playing around with an app that randomly switches what you see with a different user every 5 seconds and accidentally witnessing a gruesome murder that way would be pretty good
