progrus··on On-demand audio passes linear audio
Fresh Air has become an audio tranquilizer for old black ladies and their old white “allies”. There is a clumsy attempt to shoehorn race-baiting into nearly every story, followed by a commercial for neuropathy medicine.

I can’t even begin to imagine how one can have a positive reaction to that gruel.

progrus··on Growing scientific interest in vagus nerve stimulation
This place is such a shithole in 2023. Absolutely no interest in anything of import, because that reality banging down your doors is too scary.

We’re in a revolution, nerds. Wake the fuck up.

If they try this crap again, it will be WAY different this time. The good-faith tank is on empty, folks.
progrus··on Twitter/X has removed all media posted before 2014
Accept that the universe is not in your control, and go with the flow.
progrus··on Worldcoin ignored initial order to stop iris scans in Kenya, records show
Makes him very easy to manipulate, sadly.

progrus··on Fusion Foolery
You’re not the target audience, but OK:

“They” are a bunch of corrupted intelligence officials and powerful/influential people who got corrupted somewhere along the way, but started morphing into a totalitarian cabal around when the Soviet Union collapsed.

The unipolar “team America” world was always an illusion, the Cold War just shifted underground and distributed.

This has intensified recently, as you can tell with Argentinians picking an ancap maniac, and the deep state in the US throwing the whole freakin library at Trump.

Add to that all sorts of other schemes and plots that you can probably guess at, if you’re honest with yourself.

The conflict is almost over, they have lost. The Chinese economy is teetering over the abyss. Trump starts his counterattack on the US establishment 8/21. Enjoy the show.

progrus··on Asteroid crater 520km in diameter buried in southeast Australia, scientists say
Seems like maybe our ability to find and divert these asteroids might make all that burning of energy worth it, no?
progrus··on Writing about what you learn pushes you to understand topics better
This is super cool.
progrus··on Writing about what you learn pushes you to understand topics better
Yes. And then share with the world, and who cares if anyone pays attention.
progrus··on Chinese Trust Companies on the Brink
No, that’s mostly a PSYOP too, my 五美元 friend.

LLMs go schizophrenic long before they get anywhere close to human intelligence:

progrus··on New finding boosts Panspermia theory that life on Earth originated in deep space
“Confirmations should count only if they are the result of risky predictions; that is to say, if, unenlightened by the theory in question, we should have expected an event which was incompatible with the theory - an event which would have refuted the theory.”

Let’s hope that a better system comes out of all of this chaos.
progrus··on A superconductor claim blew up online. Science has punctured it
I’ve seen enough blatant gaslighting about this on Twitter (and here) to just ignore you.
progrus··on A superconductor claim blew up online. Science has punctured it
No, “science” has done no such thing.

A bunch of theoretical-science types have been putting out PR as fast as possible, and trying to claim that it’s over.

The whole thing looks very corrupt.

progrus··on Candle: Torch Replacement in Rust
I absolutely love the slog of writing Rust… but I would not inflict it on my coworkers for most business-type projects.
progrus··on Police raid Worldcoin warehouse in Nairobi
I think people like sama are very easy to manipulate. I don’t know what else to tell you.

Worldcoin/OpenAI

I would bet sama is just an asset, and is not literally planning (or perhaps even aware of) this.

progrus··on Police raid Worldcoin warehouse in Nairobi
A lot of people are still not ready to accept the ugly truth.

Half-baked effort to hypnotize the global south. A GPT would be presented as the totalitarian “superintelligence”, and non-native speakers would have a hard time challenging any of it.
progrus··on The Myth of AI Omniscience: AI's Epistemological Limits
Yay, we need more of this before OpenAI finishes hypnotizing the global south (lol).
progrus··on Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?
Yeah this is referred to in the LK99 paper.

Grusch is likely just an asset being manipulated. This guy might be involved in pushing the psyop:

It’s not magic, it’s a psyop, the aliens are fake, and y’all are gullible fools.
progrus··on Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?
Yes, yes, this person gets it. Thank you.
progrus··on Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?
The aliens are a hoax! Come on! How is everyone so gullible that that is how you interpret me?
progrus··on Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?
Yes, and I meant to imply that the alien thing is a hoax, but the UFOs are real tech. Obviously. Come on!
progrus··on Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?
Yes, duh, the aliens are fake. Everything other than the craft is a hoax!

I said this was like pulling teeth. Sheesh.

progrus··on Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?
Bullshit on both. It’s just a bunch of corrupt intelligence folks running a psyop.
