@warmbeverageenjoyer @ildottore @lydiaposting Nice script, douchebag. Heard it before.

If I wanted to intimidate you, I would intimidate you. I’m not the one driving that all-consuming extinction you’re defined by.

@warmbeverageenjoyer @ildottore @lydiaposting I didn’t start this conversation fuckhead but I will end it.

I am the most negative goddamned thing you’ve ever seen.

I am way too angry for suicide. You and everything you meekly stand for, on the other hand – you fucking disgrace – are on the precipice of all-consuming extinction and you know it. You know it.

@ildottore @lydiaposting It was at this point:

>”trans folks could also help themselves a little bit by actually ousting pedophiles (or other child-harming individuals) in their midst when they come to light though. instead, they defend or ignore such people.”

…that this lying sack of shit fascist bitch showed his hand.

@warmbeverageenjoyer @ildottore @lydiaposting fuck off eat shit you scumbag I’m not fucking with your simple bait bullshit i can see right through you lying fuck

@dcc @thorn piss off

@dcc @thorn Like do you get something out of the vagueness, do you figure that it’s vague enough that you get plausible deniability or are you like scared to say what you really think or what? What’s up? Is this a strategy? is it working, you fuck?

@dcc @thorn Yeah I asked you what the fuck that’s supposed to mean. Do you just show up sometimes to say like some vague nazi shit or do you have more to your character than that?

@dcc @thorn Hey what the fuck is this supposed to mean, again?

@thorn

@thorn I’m making these designs on Tuesday if nobody else does. Putting it in my calendar now.

@thorn

Came across this today, it explicitly filled in a few gaps for me.

“Open” “AI” isn’t

The crybabies who freak out about The Communist Manifesto appearing on university curriculum clearly never read it – chapter one is basically a long hymn to capitalism’s flexibility and inventiveness, its ability to change form and adapt itself to everything the world throws at it and come out on top: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm#007

Today, leftists signal this protean capacity of capital with the -washing suffix: greenwashing, genderwashing, queerwashing, wokewashing – all the ways capital cloaks itself in liberatory, progressive values, while still serving as a force for extraction, exploitation, and political corruption.

A smart capitalist is someone who, sensing the outrage at a world run by 150 old white guys in boardrooms, proposes replacing half of them with women, queers, and people of color. This is a superficial maneuver, sure, but it’s an incredibly effective one.

In “Open (For Business): Big Tech, Concentrated Power, and the Political Economy of Open AI,” a new working paper, Meredith Whittaker, David Gray Widder and Sarah B Myers document a new kind of -washing: openwashing: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4543807

Core to Big Tech companies’ “open AI” offerings are tools, like Meta’s PyTorch and Google’s TensorFlow. These tools are indeed “open source,” licensed under real OSS terms. But they are designed and maintained by the companies that sponsor them, and optimize for the proprietary back-ends each company offers in its own cloud. When programmers train themselves to develop in these environments, they are gaining expertise in adding value to a monopolist’s ecosystem, locking themselves in with their own expertise. This a classic example of software freedom for tech giants and open source for the rest of us.
