Im an american ML and moved to china a few years ago, been doing the privileged ESL job thing, currently working at a gov uni for like 1700$ a month teaching 16 hours weekly while i study chinese and try to get out of english teaching with hopes to start a family and raise some red diaper kids, but im plagued by a sense of guilt. Is leaving the US behind the cowards way out? Am I abandoning the a righteous cause or a sinking ship?

Feel free to ask whatever other chinese labor questions you got too

Nah, I mean realistically what were you going to do in the US anyway? I'm thinking about ditching to go live somewhere cheaper

As someone still over here your good bro jus lemme crash at your place for like a night when I visit

EDIÇÃO PARQUE DO SOLSTÍCIO
"Trata-se de um monumento lítico no Norte do país que possui 127 monólitos que foram erguidos em um raio de 30 metros. As pedras de mais de 4 metros foram erguidas e talhadas há mais de 2000 anos e sua disposição é feita para, no solstício de inverno do hemisfério norte, as pedras apontarem para os principais astros do céu amazônico e o sol, ao meio dia, fique na posição exata do centro da obra."

"Como havia uma variação de povos na época, o Iepa informou que não é possível afirmar qual o povo indígena que construiu o local, mas indícios como pinturas nas peças de cerâmica, apontam similaridades com as do povo Arawak, que tem como descendentes os indígenas da etnia Palikur, habitantes da atual fronteira do Amapá e a Guiana Francesa."

>mas rapaziada da UP virando todo o esforço pra campanha que vai pegar 50k de votos
Eu até tento ver isso com um olhar ameno porque é apenas uma fração do ano, e a campanha é uma boa oportunidade para propaganda. Acho que o problema da UP é que suas campanhas estão sendo mal feitas mesmo. O que você diz sobre ficar falando em quem votar é meio triste mesmo, porque é um negócio que não tem muito o que discutir: você vota nos candidatos da sua organização no primeiro turno, e no liberal menos-pior no segundo turno. É uma discussão vazia.

<"Se Niemeyer era tão comunista assim, por que fez uma cidade voltada para carros???"
a resposta é simples: porque não foi ele que fez, porra. O desenho urbano é do Lucio Costa, seguindo os conceitos da cidade moderna do Le Corbusier, arquiteto e urbanista suíço muito influente no século passado. Esse pensamento de 100 anos atrás também ingenuamente achava que a tecnologia ia resolver tudo - distância longa? Todo mundo vai ter um carro; tá calor? Todo mundo vai ter ar-condicionado em casa e no escritório; etc. Não tinha um dono da Chevrolet falando no ouvido de Lucio Costa que Brasília tinha que ser assim, onde isso aconteceu foi nos EUA.
Ainda assim, a ideia das superquadras é uma forma de mitigar isso, com áreas abertas até no pavimento térreo dos edifícios, onde todos pudessem caminhar e ter seu lazer de forma conjunta. Claro que a ideia de criar quadras onde a faxineira mora junto com o ministro não funcionou em um contexto capitalista e assim foram nascendo as cidades satélite.

<wahh os prédios aqui me dão gatilho, são iguais os prédios de concreto da União Soviética

Perfeito, os edíficios soviéticos são feios sim, ainda mais comparados com os mais ornamentados e confortáveis de Paris. Seriam os soviéticos malvadões? Ela parece dizer que sim - fazendo uma ligação esdrúxula ligando essa arquitetura "toda igual" com o muh repressivo sistema soviético onde "todos deveriam ser iguais". Só que é importante lembrar que a única coisa mais feia que os commie blocks soviéticos é morar na rua, e em um momento de destruição pós-guerra, as opções eram: construir um monte de prédios feios iguais de forma rápida ou deixar a população se foder no olho da rua.
Essa época também trouxe alguns avanços importantes na pré-fabricação. No Brasil se constrói exatamente hoje como a 100 anos atrás: com pedreiro debaixo de 40 graus de sol levantando tijolo por tijolo, então não é de se espantar que o trabalhador está preferindo ficar dentro de um carro com ar-condicionado dirigindo pra Uber.

I'm so tired of it all. Everyone believing the lies. Everyone legislating our torture. Everyone celebrating our oppression. Everyone pretending they're justified. All the money, all the technology, all the grifting, all just to hurt me and the handful of my kind. I just want to give up and cry.

I know that's what they want. They want us to hate humanity so they can justify branding us as terrorists. They want to push us into a corner where the whole world is against us, and our only choice is to fight back, so they can use that retaliation to manufacture consent for our eradication. It's the exact same playbook they've been using against the people of Palestine.

But even as horrible as things are for them, at least they have people fighting for them. The powerful stomp them into dust, but there's a dim light at the end of their tunnel of thorns. Journalists risk their lives to spread awareness, citizens risk arrest for speaking out. They have real allies in this fight, a frayed thread to cling to. We have no flickering light of hope, we have only ourselves.

People might feign support in passing, but anything more than empty platitudes is asking too much. Nobody wants to make even minor sacrifices for us. Nobody wants to spread empathy or awareness for us. Everyone is all too happy to let us sink to second-class citizens. Everyone is all to happy to publicly dehumanize us without so much as flinching. Nobody knows we're 10 times more likely to be murdered. Nobody knows there's state-mandated conversion therapy and human experiments. Nobody even knows what V-coding is. When they start marching us into the ovens, will anyone even know? Will anyone even care?

How can I cope? How can I not become jaded? I don't want to hate the human race, but anything less feels like letting myself be in an abusive relationship. I'm so tired.

QUESTION FOR PSYCHONAUTS:
what do you think about the nature of reality? Do you believe your high brain when it shows you that reality is all recursive and infinitely complex and multiversal and with supernatural powerful entities and shit?
Or do you still believe that this is the only universe and timeline and that supernatural powerful entities don't actually exist?

Not all questions can be answered with language but I will try. When you see me use scare quotes I am not saying the concept is fake, more like I don't have enough spacetime or energymatter to properly deconstruct it.

"Supernatural" entities? On a normal day when my brain is running in its "materialist/survival" mode I don't really "believe" in supernatural entities. Everything is natural, from sunspots to ladybugs. Even a factory spewing out smoke or a synthetic chemical made in a lab is made of stuff taken from the Earth. A log cabin isn't that much different from a bird's nest except in scope and level of organization.

But if everything is "natural" then "natural" loses its meaning, since nothing in particular is "unnatural." Words get their meaning from contrast.

I don't necessarily believe in Gods, ghosts, spirits, etc. as they are popularly conceived. I think consciousness is a fleeting phenomenon caused by matter and energy being arranged into formations that result in memory formation and stimulus response. A memory physically isn't that much different from a sunburn or a cut. Matter contains records of past events through its own accumulation of changes. Information is physical, and so is memory and thought. Moving on.

Multiverse? Well it always seemed arbitrary to me that there would be only one universe, only one big bang, only one arbitrary set of physical laws. Outside of our universe is just an endless void? Or more properly nothing at all since not even empty space could exist beyond the universe, since space itself is all contained in the universe? Seems incomplete. For "everything" to be complete it would need to contain all possibilities, including all possible universes, with all possible timelines, sets of physical laws, etc. So "everything" would necessarily contain things that both do and do not happen in this universe. But this sounds like idealism. Just because I can conceive of everything containing that, doesn't mean it does. But if there isn't everything, and there is only something, then that is arbitrary. Why would only some things exist and not others? Seems asymmetrical. To me, everything blossoms from nothing as a set of endless possibilities. Just like space is the set of all coordinates, everything is the set of all possibilities. 3d space is length, width, height. If the 4th dimension is time, why wouldn't the 5th be possibility? why wouldn't all out comes be arranged in a higher diPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I shall supplant that doddering fool
In wintrous depths of hell but with a whisper,
And tear upon heaven to let storms rain,
That Lucifer the pacifist may look to fear
From eye to eye his unequal'd reflection -
And all inferno writhe beneath the
Humiliation of his wrath

So wear the crown'd dunce his cap,
And by his keep learn in the schooling
Of his error yet undiscovered misery
Of new kinds of suffering, the infernal
Torment of his stupidity

Slow runneth the course of time
Which in this our hour of fall
Leaves little but dread decay.
The youth decry its passage
Whilst infirm age meets it
With well seasoned glee.
Is this our purpose?
This our fate?
That the old shall wither
And by kin youth create?

no, sometimes it's nice to listen to someone talk about something boring. like that popular guy who makes videos about the infrastructure in open world games. is this a subject anyone actually particularly cares about? would you think it's riveting conversation if one of your friends started talking to you about night city's power grid? no, but that's not the point.
also, if the interest is in the subject and not the form, why not listen to someone who actually knows their shit instead of random online fucks? you could download an audiobook of a single good classic on criticism or aesthetics and become way more educated about media than you would from every video essay you've ever watched.

>they're just a really basic, streamlined form of entertainment that asks nothing of the viewer

i don't understand people's sense of self-importance these days. on one hand they think that watching a movie or an episode of a tv show is way too much to ask of them, like as if they are the president of the world bank or something and their time is just far too valuable to risk wasting on such a risky endeavor, but they also think that listening to someone bloviate about a movie or tv show on a youtube video for an hour while they play videogames is a worthwhile use of their time.

something tells me it's not really about the movie or the tv show asking too much of the viewer, it's more about the viewer having some extremely compulsive consumptive habits that they can't abide deviating from. it's like a heroin addict not being able to watch a long movie in a theater because it asks too much of him, he can't sit in a theater for 3 hours without shitting his pants or throwing up or running off to the restroom to get high and then nodding off and missing the rest of the movie.

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

He's a sci-fi writer and his setting doesn't really fit with 40k which is not sci-fi at all.

DoW4 is going to have no Chaos, Total War 40K doesnt appear to have them at launch either. Tried Space Marine 2, dropped it in a tutorial the moment "dodge when enemy flashes red, parry when enemy flashes blue" mechanic was introduced. Fucking braindead. The final DLC for Rogue Trader was supposed to be released this week, but is almost certainly getting delayed, and even if it wasnt I would have to wait at least a month for bugfixes to come out. Was Total War Warhammer 3 cracked yet? New DLC is coming out in couple days, with Nagash. I wonder how long they will keeping milking that game, is there even anything left to add still?

Program that bridges API calls from Windows VST in Wine to DAW

I heavily recommend using u-he plugins if you don't care about using proprietary software, especially the new Zebra3 (a CPU hog but sounds sublime and insanely versatile), Repro-1 and 5 (Prophet-5 and Pro-One emulations) and Uhbik2 (great suite of effects).
A lot of people swear by Diva, and Bazille is also pretty interesting if you are into weird modular sounds.

TAL also make good plugins with Linux native versions. Haven't tried AudioDamage stuff, but I've heard it's good too.

Otherwise, with yabridge, ValhallaDSP plugins run perfectly for reverb and delay. I had good experiences with the FabFilter suite in the past too. Native Instruments stuff generally works okay. Lightweight plugins from small companies that don't use iLok kind of shit DRM tend to work pretty well too, like Madrona Labs' Aalto or AberrantDSP SketchCassette II and Digitalis.
However, I had no luck with Serum 2 and Lexicon plugins, but I can do without them.

The only thing that sucks is that yabridge hasn't been updated in a long while, and it has a mouse cursor glitch with the latest versions of wine-staging, but it works fine with the normal version in Mint's repos. Let's hope they eventually fix this problem, but so far, I think there is everything needed to make great sounding tracks on Linux.
No Ableton Live and Max For Live sadly (there is Bitwig and PlugData tho), and tinkering and random bugs can be pretty annoying sometimes, but I think there is something really satisfying about having an audio setup working fine on Linux. It used to be much more complicated and restrictive 10 or 15 years ago.

You're always gonna suffer if you're trying to replicate professional audio workflows on linux. For basic MIDI sequencing and recording (muh real hardware synths autism) I use Muse because sequencing on Ardour used to suck even more. Made a lot more tracker music (mostly 4 channel mods in milkytracker, some in schism). I want to try out Radium, it's a tracker inspired DAW that's free if you build from source.

>>1631
>Okay, but what about loosh farm?
That's the purpose of life, and suffering which is non-consensual and chaotic loosh is the cheapest but not the only form of loosh to produce. Humans surrender to vices and that means you have to defeat and keep all 7 sins at bay to prevent suffering from being hand waved away as necessary to the economy because of popular convenience. If some aristocrats get blackmailed, how do you suppose you would save them from that if you're a rabid Marxist? It would save you both the trouble of suffering.

>If the elite just wanted money and power, they would simply turn the entire world into a gulag.

That's not cheap at all.

>Instead, we have relative freedom, much of which is used to provoke negative emotions and pit people against each other.

The desire to create non-consensual loosh in each other, right? You deserve it because suffering doesn't offend you in itself. It's useful to you to shame and control others so it has economic value.

>>1632
>That's the purpose of life
Marx/Engels said that all history is the exploitation of one class by another, but surely this must end someday and communism must come?
>and suffering which is non-consensual and chaotic loosh is the cheapest but not the only form of loosh to produce.
Perhaps, especially considering the origins of the term, but I'm simply using loosh as a translation of the Russian word гаввах, meaning that as I see it, the elite only cares about the energy of suffering, and they don't really want to make people happy. Moreover, they're currently testing the waters to see how much they can torture humanity before it starts dying.
>Humans surrender to vices and that means you have to defeat and keep all 7 sins at bay to prevent suffering from being hand waved away as necessary to the economy because of popular convenience.
I don’t get it, are you saying that people are to blame for their suffering because they don’t perform bnei noach?
>If some aristocrats get blackmailed, how do you suppose you would save them from that if you're a rabid Marxist? It would save you both the trouble of suffering.
Why should I save them? Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
>That's not cheap at all.
North Korea, Stalin's USSR, Hitler's Germany. All of these have been tried and succeeded, but even North Korea, the last bastion of totalitarianism, is beginning to implement democratic reforms and grant its citizens increasing freedoms.
>The desire to create non-consensual loosh in each other, right?

Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual? I've seen this claim every now and then online, and apparently some prominent bisexuals (e.g. Gore Vidal, Billie Joe Armstrong) believe(d) it. I've even heard it twice IRL; the second time, a lesbian acquaintance of mine said something along the lines of "I'm gay enough that I know straight people aren't lying about being straight", which I concurred with in my head (although I said nothing). Personally, I'm a gay guy, or at least that's what I call myself, but there have been a few rare instances where I briefly wondered whether I actually am attracted to women, only minimally and/or while repressing it, and although I have always ultimately concluded that I am just gay, it does make me think about the idea that everyone is actually just at some point or another on a spectrum of bisexuality. That being said, it still seems highly improbable to me. What are your thoughts?
3 posts omitted.

There's a scale for a reason. If you include the definition of "bisexual" to include anybody who experiences attraction of any degree to both sexes, then a lot of people who identify as straight or gay and live their lives according to those labels would probably qualify. However I don't think everybody would, and a lot of those that do would probably be pretty restricted in their tastes. The classic example of course is a guy that likes twinks but is otherwise straight.

>Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual?

Wrong question. The correct question wouldbe: why do bisexuals, especially repressing ones, so often engage in sexual solipcism, i. e. the projection of their entire sexuality onto all of humanity when they are part of a sexual minority that should know better.

>>10732
Because empathy is an imperfect ability and picturing other people's mental process will always come with biases from your own experience.

>>10733

This is not empathy, this is narcissism. You are not picturing others, you are literally projecting yourself onto them. The question is why is this behavior so common among bisexuals who should know better because after all they themselves should be, as a sexual minority in a heteronormative society, have at least some experience with having another sexual orientation, the dominante one, projected onto them.

Certain queer people huff copium that secretly they're the actual dominant sexuality and three quarters of population just don't realise it.

HIIII its me ERVA!!
I've come to complain about my experience with college and schooling as a whole. As a bonus I posted some pics of my books.

But anyway Ill keep it short and sweet, college feels like an extension the same bullshit I dealt with in high school.

I was expecting college to be more focused on writing in depth essays/proofs and reading big large books and writing summaries and drawing diagrams for the professor. In reality though school has been thoroughly taken over by online bullshit, online assignment sheets that you fill in the answers for.
I'm fine with repetition, in fact repetition is actually good for learning at times, but this just feels lazy, and it blocks actual learning it feels like for me.

Idk, I guess I've just been so accustomed to self study and doing writing summaries and essays according to what the books Ive read that it feels really weak by comparison.

I've told my parents how I feel and they say that I just gotta wait till I get into a more advanced class, but idk If I really have the patience for that :(.

Honestly the one thing I am currently going to school for to learn, medical stuff (surgery) may not even be necessary.
I really really wanna learn brain surgery, but honestly college just seems so boring and a barrier to actual learning that I might just try to learn surgery outside of school.
Of course theres books on it, but for something like that I'd need actual samples to work on.

School is what you make of it. You have vast libraries and professors of all kinds at your finger tips. You can literally learn anything and it’s way easier at a college than anywhere else. In law school I had a photography show and just walked into the art school deans office to ask him questions. I walked into the music department to learn piano. You could go find books on jazz or Egyptology and there will be some autist on campus who loves that shit and would be willing to help you. If you’re gonna be a doctor, you’d get your profs to introduce you to some doctors you could shadow. You could study all the brain surgery books on file.


God I miss school.

College (University) isn't about learning, it's about passing so you get credentials, moreso nowadays that information is freely available and that literacy and numeracy is considered bare minimum and not a privilege atleast in the 'first world', not to mention that university isn't about learning when you have to pay or take on debt, then you have to pressure of getting something other than knowledge out of it so you can recuperate your losses into something material that can be capitalised on. There is literally no reason to go to higher education than to blag yourself into a career in the hopes of escaping manual labour.

dunno where you're from but you kinda need credentials to start cutting people up, but you do get to start stitching people up from your first clinical year of med school

also if you want to make it a career, then good luck surgery is hell

Gay porn has done more for my physical fitness than anything else ever has. The desire to be a muscular chad for sex reasons is far more powerful than just wanting to be healthy or strong. If I ever need workout motivation I just look at bara furry porn.

i love my bf so much!!! i was really nervous to start dating him, we were just friends and things just happened too fast when he started drunk flirting one night (though some friends say we were unknowingly flirting long before) but just one look at him and i decided i want to take the risk to be with him

we've had several ups and downs on the year we've been together, and i do get scared to lose him, but he makes me better and he makes me happy. this is the best choice i made no matter what

i learned to bottom just for him, that's how in love i am lmao

>>10671
How old are you?

>>10672
I don't think it's healthy to be bara in the long run, since a strongfat physique could become regular fat really quick with age or neglect of your exercise routine. Personally I'm just shooting for a middle ground where I'm noticeably muscular, beefier than a cute dude with abs, but not quite bara. Idk if that has a name, maybe like an dad bod deluxe? That's probably the easiest body type to get if you're natty and sticking to a good routine and moderate diet.

All of these physiques except for the first would be considered obese and will cause a ton of health issues later on (mobility, joints, metabolic, etc)

did you get a job straight out of university high school training etc? I've been applying for years. Shit sucks. Only have a job after going to a mental hospital and a retard facility. Who's dick did you suck to get your job. I could probably just have laid bricks and shit for 600AUD a day or so. I'd be in better shape and not a fat permanently online retard.

You'd still be a retard but a less fat one.

with 600AUD a day which could probably buy me some fucking pussy too. Ten years without any. I'd be like a man let out of jail on that shit. Be like a pimp assed dracula caligulating.

Didn't get a job for 5 fucking years after my studies.

My advice is, get ANY job before the gap in your resume fucks you over. Experience is way more important than anything else.

Get some money, then instantly you'll get some motivation and some semblance of a normal life going. Don't worry too much about the future, or else you'll be stuck forever.

I would second the other anon's answer but add in Perry Anderson's classic "Passages From Antiquity to Feudalism" (which can be found on this page), which deals with the transition from slave to agrarian/feudal modes of production in Europe. Not just because I think Anderson is a much better prose writer than Cockshott, but he delves into the historical progression of the same modes of production Cockshott covers in breadth and detail.

Excellent thread worth bumping. I recently read this book to better understand the rightoid mindset.

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion (Jonathan Haidt)
<A foundational text in moral psychology that explores the intuitive and emotional origins of political differences. Through his research, Haidt demonstrates that the right-wing moral compass relies on different foundations than the left-wing one. While liberal psychology emphasizes care and fairness, the conservative mind gives equal weight to in-group loyalty, respect for authority, and feelings of sanctity and purity.

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing. This is all due to when MMOs became a thing.
Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.

Talk space socialism to me. Was recently rewatching a few series with my fiance, both old and new Trek, and we both feel like Deep Space 9 is our favorite series (closely followed by TNG).

Everything else in order from best-to-worst would be:
Deep Space 9
The Next Generation
Voyage Home
Wrath of Khan
Undiscovered Country
Enterprise
Picard Season 3
Lower Decks
Voyager
Prodigy

Star Trek is a dead franchise at this point. It will never return to being good because being "progressive" is now the core part of it's marketing DNA, and being "progressive" now means being a dysgenic fucking Tumblrite retard with 4 personality disorders, autism, adhd, DID who thinks that being professional or working hard is "ableism".
TNG is definitely Communistic, Majel said that Gene was a Maoist (probably part of the woo 70s Maoist left) so you can definitely see Communistic traits in the world building of the TOS films and especially TNG, but remember, back then the positive image of being a Communist pushed by the Communist world was literally, people working hard, people being very professional, uplifiting stuff like ballet, opera, classical music, classical literature etc up notice that in Classic Star Trek, TV is a dead medium and people do classical arts instead, this is because it's supposed to be an enlightened society of professionals, the people that Fraiser Crane wants to be, but instead NuTrek is all neurodivergent, incompetent spastics, meanwhile Wokies cheer it on while the franchise doesn't even hit 100k viewers according to streaming numbers.
It's also just clear they are not interested in making Star Trek. 7 shows now and not a single fucking one has been a classic actual Star Trek show where people act like actual Star Trek characters.

Worf is a really interesting character. He's a Klingon that knows nothing about Klingons except what he learns through the lens of the federation. So on the one hand, he learns all the rules to being a klingon, but none of the exceptions to the rules, and he ends up becoming the most Klingon Klingon.

What I mean is his main narrative arc in TNG involves him colliding head on with the contradictions of Klingon society. He's internalized a rigid, highly inflexible code of honor that other Klingons kind of respect but also find pretty bewildering. He's willing to take discommendation in service of the empire when it's strongly implied that no other Klingon would be willing to. At the same thing, it's recognized that this honorable act is in service of covering up another house's dishonor. Eventually it all leads to a civil war, which instead of purifying the empire only solidifies these contradictions, which Worf also finds incomprehensible, as highlighted by the scene when he's in a bar with his brother Kern, whose busy drinking with warriors from the enemy faction.

It's also pretty interesting how Worf ends up becoming what is probably the most important Klingon of the century. He participates and ends up deciding two separate succession crises by killing corrupt chancellors and even restores the office of the emperor, before putting his own adoptive house in the position of the chancellorship.

It's a shame that none of this was really followed up on post ds9. Worf single handedly positioned himself to rejuvenate the dying Klingon empire, and all that was killed in its crib by the tng movies and abramslop.

The other point from the Zitron piece which is worth rescuing and needs to be instilled into the minds of just about everyone, is to stop categorizing LLMs in a separate ontological category different from any other piece of software. Zitron calls it "cloud software" and this is the definition we should stick with, as far as the legalese framework that will be cobbled around it goes at least. If you execute or deploy a piece of malware, you are legally responsible for the malicious behavior it produces. If you run your bot to schedule a gym appointment, and it hits an unsecured endpoint that deletes information because the bot couldn't tell the difference, you are responsible for this tiny malicious attack. If your bot spams a wiki with useless shit because you ran a testing bench unsupervised, you should be legally responsible. This is the line that everyone should be operating from, it's pointless to discuss the hypotheticals of the attack.

Turns out you can just throw terms like "Bauhaus" into the prompt and chances are what comes out doesn't look diseased at first glance and still tolerable at second glance. A few tweaks by hand would make some of these first rate.

>34372
The reason why posters look samey and diseased is because they are not actually using ChatGPT directly to make these posters, small business owners are punching "AI poster design app free" into the app store and using whatever comes up, which is probably an ad-ridden piece of shit app that uses a cheap hosted Chinese model and injecting its own prompts. Which really begs the question if retarded normies even know that ChatGPT can generate full posters, or images at all for that matter. I dont think the jobpocalypse is coming when petite bougies are this dumb.

It's also like yeah, you think people making these shit flyers are smart enough to put "Bauhaus" in the prompt?
