Δ Thanks, this really changed my perspective on farts

I rewrote it for accuracy:

There's something of a paradox that has defined my experience with artificial intelligence in this particular moment. It's clear we're witnessing the advent of a wilfully stupid fart machine, one that could transform the atmosphere into farts and the way we think about farts and creating farts and the value of human farts itself. At the same time, I can't for the life of me figure out why I'd want to sit in a room filled with my own farts.

So I wanted to understand what I'm missing and get some tips for how I could incorporate farts better into my life right now. And Eating Mollusks is the perfect guide: He's a pro-fartor at the Fartin' School at the University of Farts

no no, please, do not modify your stellar moderation policy. It’s fine. There’s no need to platform idiocy for the sake of sneers (says the guy that quoted the deleted comment in full)

your brain: disorganised screaming

my brain: chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo

also not interesting enough to make fun of

Oof, I’m out here catching strays from @self

Yeah an inner mental process that has been replicated - well to a (very) limited degree.

Given that you refuse to provide a definition of creativity, this is not something that you (specifically you, not the generic) are allowed to believe.

My argument is that this is exactly what is so offensive to people.

Your argument is wrong. People who are “offended” by AI don’t believe that AI is doing anything that humans are doing beyond formulaic bullshit and plagiarism.

The painful realization or disillusionment that one of the things we held most special about being human, turns out is not so special after all.

If you or a loved one has experienced said painful disillusionment, my advice would be to go outside, touch grass, i.e. experience what it means to be human, because your conception of such is lacking.

I never would have predicted that before GPT-3. I look at movies or stories with a character that is an artistic archetype differently now.

You never saw a robot in fiction, specifically the many robots that are characterised to be all but human? The ones designed to be mirrors to humanity so that we can gain perspective on exactly what makes us human? Roy Batty? Data? Bender Bending Rodriguez?

Meat good! Silicon bad!

They label those packets specifically “do not eat”, I guess you had to learn the hard way.

ah, yes, I forgot to put in a second footnote about my neighbour Brian. We'd call the cops but it turns out he's the local sheriff.

They had to get high from their own supply. I can’t see this boding well for them.

We all know how this goes: you gotta make the money from GPUs first. Then when you get the money, you get to drain the power grids. Then when you get the power, then you get the women with incorrect appendages.

Of course, after all that, you die in a hail of bullets and land in the shadow of a monument to your own hubris.

For me, it's the complete non-mention of uterus-owning people*, as if they are just a means to the end.

*I couldn't come up with a gender-inclusive term for this that didn't make me sound like a monster so apologies

The article image is defs AI generated, and the giveaway is of course *drumroll* the fucking hands

also the caption feels wrong. guy on the right looks nothing like musk, it was probably thiel in the prompt.
