Kermit did 9/11, Elmo and Saddam Hussein were both given keys to Detroit, Big Bird caused the Challenger explosion, Big Bird drove past Mao’s tomb, Rowlf the Dog read a letter from Nikita Khrushchev‘s wife, Kermit the frog visited Red Square in 1988, A photo of Bert posing with Osama Bin Laden was used by Bangladeshi protesters, and Tickle Me Elmo was investigated by the FBI because it matched the profile of the Unabomber.

The brain development theory is just an excuse to infantilize prime age adults.
Neurophysiology doesn't automatically mean psychology.

The whole "25 is the new 18" is being promoted due to the average adult in postmodern era being a sad willful loser who wants to give up autonomy to save face from their loserdom.

I notice the people who support raising the age of majority are often those who willfully decided to waste their youth instead getting their shit together.

If we decide to delay adult hood until the mid twenties, parents will have more economic strain.

The retirement age will have to be raised to the eighties.

Schools will have to do more to accommodate more students who by right should be contributing to society.

We will have less vital-bodied workers which means more liability.
The brain development theory is just encouraging behavioral sink.

Isn't the mysticism and fetishism surrounding nature a bourgeois construct? Why should I care about nature? Assuming it has a net positive effect for humanity, why shouldn't we just bulldoze everything and make room for actually useful things, if we were to figure out terraforming and shit?

Thinking that you ought not to care about your natural environment because in the future, maybe, potentially, you hope so, it could be solved by technology, is techbro millenarianism. You should care about nature because you live in the present, not in some hypothetical potential that will most likely never come to pass.

>a bourgeois construct
The bourgeois view of nature is of a dead, inanimate thing that can be planned with and turned into commodities. There is no mysticism or fetishism about nature, it's part of the economic calculation the same way everything else is.

It's completely possible to care about sustainability in a purely rational & dispassionate manner based on both its short-term but especially long-term benefits for us humans.

I didn't know you could predict the future. Do you seriously believe in this "harmony with nature" nonsense? We will have to learn terraforming to survive as a species. That's a fact, not a vibe. Also, my claim was never that we should bulldoze everything now. Obviously any transition to full on synthetic ecosystems for survival is going to be gradual. The equation is simple really - extract maximum utility from nature as we slowly progress to a post natural society. You say seeing nature as just raw material for commodities is a bourgeois construct - true, but I would say seeing nature is anything more than tools to advance humanity is idealistic, tree hugging trash.

When did you realize you weren’t capable enough to do anything but toil? Anonymous 17-02-26 00:30:40 No.758781[Reply]

I wish things had gone differently, but they didn’t. I wish I could have known what skills to develop, what to read. It’s too late now. Sometimes I think about just starting up a personal blog on Substack, just to write anyway, despite my doubts, but even here on leftypol my I get shown how dull I really am, how lacking I am in any learning.

In any case, what good is that kind of work anyway? Every day, truth and reason are stripped away of their utility. What sense is there anymore in reading? In writing? Now we have machines that do all our thinking for us, and it’s only going to get worse.

The only thing that’s worth anything about me is my body, and it’s a pathetically weak one. Whatever value can be extracted from my labor is my only function, and there’s no reason to think any of this will change in my lifetime.

Does anyone else here feel similarly? This is not an Anti-AI thread, or a doomerism thread, or anything of the sort. I’m just wondering if anybody else feels this way. I have this compulsion to read and to write, but I’m like a bird with clipped wings. I’m afraid to reach out and join a conversation because I just feel like I’ll get laughed at. I don’t believe that there is no hope, that nothing will change. Everything I do is fighting against that. I just don’t know if I’m making any difference, for me or anybody else.

I often think of myself this way too. But seeing other people say this just makes it seem so wrong. Part of my condition is that I wish I could just throw away hope wholesale, perhaps we all wish that, but we can’t.

Maybe a little but my nostalgia was shattered when I was still in school. I still prefer elementary school and working at one still makes me like it. Although I could see how people become child haters after working at a school but interesting thing is I also dislike children a little less since I'm around them a bit since they seem a bit nicer than expected. I think working at a middle school would be a bit worse since kids that age seem a bit more assholish. I think it gets a bit better in high school but overall I don't think I've experienced too much negatives with students at any age. And I generally get along with the staff even if I don't talk to them much. Maybe it helps that it's mostly women.

I'm not talking about hating kids, Im talking about how adults fail to sympathize with kids having problems at school.
In fact, I notice that people who hate children are often the same people who romanticise childhood.

Also, children are not as comical or automatically assholish as adults think they are.

Also, middle school gets a bad rap for asshole kids due to how adults treat kids in that age group

I wonder why it is that hating children in general is acceptable but it's wrong to hate adults in general when adults do way worse things such as robbery, rape, war, and murder.

People get more upset about kids dropping F-boms than they do about adults creating H-bombs

AI Audiobooks Anonymous 15-02-26 20:39:18 No.758422[Reply]

Do you guys think there could be AI voice audiobooks for more natural sounding voices?

I meant as something uploaded to libravox or something for free, typically of some public domain work, not for sale by a company. It could potentially increase the number of freely available audiobooks with good-enough voice work.

elevenlabs already pushes out shit that's superior in quality than your average librivox lib with vocal fry talking into a shitty mic back in '07 and lackadaisically reading half a chapter, but it's not quite as good as your audible type industry standard. Also it costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time to pump out a whole audiobook with elevenlabs. it's better used for youtube shorts or memes. until the day comes when it's fast and practical, stick to torrenting audiobooks from audiobookbay

One of the main advantages of an audiobook is a reader who properly understands the text and is able to reduce textual ambiguity through their tone and pacing. TTS and AI really struggle with this and can even make things less clear. This is unlikely to be something that improves much in the near term.
