/siberia/ - Off-topic

Considering that it seems few have commented on it (probably not to feed the guy's ego), I thought it would be germane to talk about this influencer. I'm sure you might have heard of him in his interview with Dasha at the redscarepod, or back when he debated (together with Haz al-Din) against Keith Woods and Joel Davis on the killstream on fascism vs communism where he roundly lost.

But to summarise: Logo_Daedalus is some wannabe communist influencer on Twitter known for being a pseudo-intellectual crank who talks about labor despite being a stay-at-home dad and living off of his wife and, together with gene-denialist Chris Morlock et al., he forms what I term as the "Logo-sphere": A network of idiosyncratic pseudo-intellectuals trying to reconcile communism and TEA party politics into one big meme.

Personally, I think Logo does say some interesting things from time to time like his takes on modern music, but overall he is mid (especially with politics) or outright delusional (as with Christianity).

If I had to describe him in a single sentence, it would be "linguistically fluent, but conceptually illiterate". Everyone has this issue, but with Logo it seems more extreme given his tendency to treat every concept as a meme ripe to fit into his incoherent worldview. I used to think he is smart until he talked about something that I'm more knowledgeable than him on. Case in point, he made a whole-ass thread on how gravity is satanic (yes really, just look through his feed for "electrogravity") while electromagnetism is le divine light of God, and then mumbled about electro gravity being this new "force", ending with citing a Wikipedia article on it. For context, "electro gravity" refers to a mathematical analogy between the forces of gravity and electromagnetism, not an actual force. So Logo was clearly pulling shit out of his ass just to sound clever. I could cite more examples, like how he tries to sound clever by citing American conservative interpretations of Orwell's 1984 as gotchas despite Orwell disagreeing with it back when he was alive, or how he harps on about the US founding fathers akshually were absolute monarchists by citing some random document. But I think Logo's relationship with marxism is more of interest.

A key example would be his attempts at reconciling Christianity as it exists with communism, where he often has to sideline the more inconvenient passages (e.g., the ten commandments, slavery, etcPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Might as well give up and just read japanese porn comics

How do I get Chad GPT to larp as a 4klanner?

(Disclaimer 1: I am not in any way a good writer or implying that I am.)
(Disclaimer 2: for the past few months I've only used janitor.ai for any significant amount of time. However, when people have tried to convince me other tools are better they have generally failed to do so.)
(Disclaimer 3: I'm not anti-AI writing so this isn't luddite cope.)

In fact I *want* AI writing to at least be decent so I can use it to generate slop that doesn't have enough value for me to want to spend time writing, but is also too specifically attuned to my tastes to exist out there in the world done by actual humans.
(And I'm not talking about porn, it does meet the extremely low criteria needed for my monkey brain to want to jack off to something.)

BUT INSTEAD:
>maddening purple prose stuffed with clichéd phrases
>failure to grasp intended tone/aesthetic
>characters and situations are regressed to the mean, e.g. if you write a flat-chested female character or a lithe male character it just ends up treating the former like an hourglass-shaped bombshell and the latter like an Adonis regardless; so it actively resists attempts to not be the most clichéd thing ever
>seems reluctant to actually contribute anything of substance to the story, kind of just leaves it to you to provide all the interesting parts
>forgets things early and easily, but this at least is theoretically surmountable with better efficiency
>incapable of spatial reasoning; contradicts its own descriptions from one sentence to the next. this doesn't seem as obviously solvable as the memory issue

Nothing feels worth doing now that AI can do it both better and faster.

What are you currently playing right now siberia? I'm currently playing sr2 modded both by myself and by others

I modded the difficulty, weapons deal the same amount of damage to you as they deal to npcs so you die to one shotgun shot and 4-5 shots from every other gun, health regen has been heavily reduced too but the blunt gives you a bit of it as well as damage reduction for 5 minutes

I also gave the Ronin much better guns than the other 2 gangs, they carry mp5s, m16 and grenades instead of aks, tec9s and pipe bombs

Gate-keeping all Pandas is such a Douche thing to do but it is also so smart that I think it’s good 👍

Why was south africa better under apartheid?

>blue collar
pays like shit, leaves you exhausted, will kill you
>retail and customer-facing
pays like shit, you basically endure abuse or idiocy for eight hours a day
>pink collar and healthcare
can pay very well but the hours are insane and you also have to endure abuse constantly
>white collar work
best-case scenario, pays well, but you're still sitting through 4-hour meetings of nothing but bullshit and wasting your life away in front of a computer
i know i'm missing something because i don't understand how wagies aren't constantly miserable 90% of the time.
yes, sometimes you get a job you just inherently vibe with, or you get to work on something you're actually proud of, like you save someone's life or you help in the construction of a nice useful building
but all of that is rare. the rest of the wagies, do they just dissociate and swallow it down? is it just genuinely not that bad from their point of view?

Materially speaking, I wasn't born a Chad, so it's over for me
