acidhousemcnab··on Using A.I. to decode communication of sperm whales
They will say "no no, there's no problems we're having with pollution, and we think AI Godtech supremacy is a wonderful idea, and you should definitely pour all of humanities resources into going into space, and liquidate anyone who defies you".
acidhousemcnab··on If experience is the goal, then you always win
Yes, I prescribe to this, but if you've experienced technologically-augmented attempts at "suiciding", sustained Zersetzung, and a peculiar British invention which is to be "Black-Mirrored", after whistleblowing, then it must be balanced with PTSD, trying not to become an alcoholic, and still trying to sound the alarm about the hell world which exists, is growing, and soon to take over fully.
acidhousemcnab··on Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring
Time and motion study neurodivergent slave class optimisation.
acidhousemcnab··on How Liminalism Became the Defining Aesthetic of Our Time
accepted and transduce'd transgression, creeping nihilisms, sink plug hole funnel
acidhousemcnab··on How liminalism became the defining aesthetic
Anti-space, no space, nothingness - annihilation.
acidhousemcnab··on Waymo pauses Atlanta service as its robotaxis keep driving into floods
Yes sorry, typo.

You'll need to get your hands on Greenland first.

acidhousemcnab··on Waymo pauses Atlanta service as its robotaxis keep driving into floods
Sounds like they need to employ more "neurodivergents" to make these robots work correctly, before they are all Silent Greened, and it is only the CEOs left bashing each other's heads in with rocks.
acidhousemcnab··on Lost Images from the 1945 Trinity Nuclear Test Restored
The rogue fissile material left in Iran sounds like an unoriginal plot device from the sketch "American Knights" in 2003-2005 satirical BBC cartoon Monkey Dust, and there are now reports the US intended to reinstall Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for reasons hitherto unknown.
acidhousemcnab··on News outlets are limiting the Internet Archive’s access to their journalism
Yeah, so about that - it’s called Project White Bear, involved UK GCHQ, theatre act called GAYA 4.0, AI human “psychological” experimentation, and propaganda depicting Russians as Mongolian beasts with dripping claws and fangs. Not making this up.
acidhousemcnab··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
No I'm just not from the United States (or a solipsist).
acidhousemcnab··on News outlets are limiting the Internet Archive’s access to their journalism
Perhaps I imagined this, however some months ago on X someone pointed out a historical article on dailymail.co.uk related to Prince Phillip and Epstein had been scrubbed, which likely would be intelligence or through D-Notices, but where instead of showing a 404 page would redirect to an article that was similar but benign. I checked the URL on the Wayback Machine and it turned up zero results, but not even the redirected article, however the user on X had screen grabbed the original, which everyone was reading and commenting on. As of 21st May I can't find this discussion on X and Grok denies it ever existed. This is a "maximally truth-finding" AI, so I must be mistaken. Perhaps the Internet Archive cannot be trusted, so this is why 340 local news outlets need to limit access.

Any belief system or club that validates sociopathy as a "higher" state of evolution or enlightenment will worm it's way into intelligence agencies.
acidhousemcnab··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
What in the decomposed-dissident gang-stalked tarnation is this?
acidhousemcnab··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
There were a lot of articles describing Snowdon / Manning and Wikileaks releases as exactly "nothing burgers", in those journals of note that people read to tell them what to think about matters - but I'm not sure what a "nothing burger" means - pulverised cattle flesh flattened into an oval, that doesn't exist?
acidhousemcnab··on Local AI needs to be the norm
RAG on every machine, and the means for corporations / shadowy powers to query it.
acidhousemcnab··on Local AI needs to be the norm
This will happen, but reconfiguring the infrastructure of the entire planet to train LLMs and run them over networks might be the "bubble", the megalomania.
acidhousemcnab··on Local AI needs to be the norm
We need better GUI and OS integrations with sandboxed local LLMs, before this is thrust on everyone and rolled out as the default in commercial OSes. Here in Berlin, I was functionally surrounded and hounded out of a local meetup, due to confrontation over the naive pushing of OS-level and network access agentic AI, done in the mode of mystical powers and artistic possibilities, which due to recent experiences, comes off as string-pulling, to produce a threat or danger that then must be observed and kept tabs on, according to Goodhart's Law.
