Are we allowed to like AI art?

Idk like, I have toxic empathy. I can't not see myself as the bug. Maybe I would have ate until I was old enough to run away!

AI make a Disney movie that's like jungle book but about a cannibal boy that runs away to become a vegetarian prince.

i only have what the nerds call cognitive empathy. it was hard earned.

AI will have no problem faking empathy

IMHO suicide is either in you or not.
It is either the answer arrived at by the user based on input or not an option by another user given the same/similar input.
Some attempts are just wannabes seeking attention. Lets face it, any reasonably intelligent user motivated enough (it is in them) would be hard pressed (although it can happen) to be interrupted in their attempt at self destruction.

A friend had varied friend groups. One weekend he told his motorcycle friends he was hanging with his rock climbing friends and vice versa.
Gassed himself in his car. Success! Dumb bastard.
Turns out he took Darwins saying to heart. The point of existence is to procreate or whatever it was exactly.
He was < 30 so had plenty of time...

Had a plan. Executed it to perfection.
His dad found him. Stupid bastard.

When hes playing minecraft and its like a dream. It really makes me feel like we are AI.

Like, I think to build a person all you have to do is take a few ai systems and have them each manage a unique function.

Like you have a Right brain Ai that gives you the limited, non hallucination answers. And then the Left brain Ai that gives you the raw unsencored answers.

Then you have another AI that has survival directives.

Another Ai that has procreation directives, like, it's programmed to want to have sex.

And all these AI systems work with each other to make you want to get up and build a house so that you can have sex with whatever your procedurally created brain AI chose to want to have sex with when it created you.

Dreams.. are just our AI running without it's full capacity so it's just all hallucinations.

That's my TED talk.

I think if you approached AI the way video games approach creating fake characters, you'd be able to create AGI.

Like, humans think we are just blank sheets of paper with AI.

No we're programmed bots.

We have very clear directives:

1. Desire ownership procreation
2. Consume and Spread
3. Fear the unknown to survive and stay focused and rely on each other
4. Create thematic religions
5. Build cathedrals & mosques to summon warrior gods to arrive and recruit us as cannon fodder in a 500,000 year war to control the universe.

IM kidding about 4 and 5 but it really feels like we're just little machines accomplishing tasks I'd ask machines to accomplish if I was a rich guy trying to colonize a planet far far away.

Do you think you would continue to visit a website and read the comments, if it turned out that 20% of them were chatbots?

What about 40%?

What about 90?

What if you found out almost every comment on reddit was a chatbot? Would you still read reddit?

This is a question I asked myself as I continued to scroll through controversial posts on the gutter of the internet, after reading a mod post this in a sub's thread:

Looking at the comments. There are waaay more partisan chatbots in this sub than I thought.

I was like, wait... what? There are chatbots on reddit?

Then I continued to read posts and was like, wtf am I reading chatbots???!!

But... I continued to read. That's what was weird.

Then It dawned on me... wait. Would I keep reading these dumbass comments even if I knew they were all fake?!?!?!

I’ve heard it said that based on the amount of increase in bots on the major platforms, there will soon be a time when there are more bots than users on some platforms

There will be a forever war between bots and attempts to detect and remove bots everywhere on the internet. And the bots are winning, I believe

AI Bots don’t typically make misspelling typos

Anyway, went round and round with a FB scammer for a bit. I’m offended they think I’m old and dumpy-looking/desperate enough for that shit to work on me

He stopped responding at the last comment of the last pic. My co-worker says I need to just not respond at all, because responding gets me put on a list that says I respond. I said good. I like fucking with scammers while I wait on my food or take a shit. It entertains me

I was expecting a response asking more about my scam knowledge in some form, and chalked it up partly due to a language barrier. The response of lol are people that stupid is not super bot-like, unless they are literally being dumbed down now for appearances sake. Maybe

And I’ve seen some pretty bad slums in India with exactly that. Not that the scammer is from there because they’d need internet access obv, but I’m sure they aren’t all that far off

There seems to be a fairly large population of extremely blackpilled/doomer-type (in regards to relationships/sex) Indian men both living here and in India, worse than I’ve ever seen. Worse than here or Japan’s Herbivore men in terms of sheer negativity. Not sure as to why, whether it is a screwed up ratio of women to men there or some sort of other perceived barrier

Just was taken aback on how numerous they seemed to be on all these different subreddits, and the despairing stuff they would say

Well in regards to counterdependency, I did notice a theme in that community of inquiring about how to shut off or lower libido permanently. Which seems to fit that mold

And these were young men, based on the ages I saw. Like teens to early 20’s usually. So this newest generation. But it’s all anecdotal, but I did surf a decent amount of people-centered subs. I noticed a large amount of posters from the UK and Canada as well, but without nearly the same prevalence of doomers

I don't even accept the premise that those are real people in the first place, even if you grant it's an actual human the motivations can't be known, like we live in a world where egirls figured out pretending to have autism and doing stimming streams was a untapped market lol.

the doomer shit spreads like a virus because people engage with it, even r/cats is half filled with "here's a picture of my dead cat, i miss her. i'm sad" so i think what these people actually have hasn't been invented yet, the closest substitutes are found in sci-fi, like closed shell syndrome in ghost in the shell.

still waiting on my recipe

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

So there have been self driving cars in my state for a few years now, originally just going about their car lives driving on the road with no one in the car, but now part of a successful rideshare company used by thousands. Users sit in the back as the car drives them to their destination. Talked to people who have done it. Not sure how it compares to Uber or Lyft pricing

Well…while waiting for either these cars to accidentally mow down a group of people, or become self-aware and….choose to mow down a group of people, I had two recent interactions that piqued my interest

The first was on the way to work earlier this week a self-driving car clearly cut me off. I raised my fist in the air like Linda Hamilton from Terminator, ready to go to war on the machines for the micro-aggression. But alas, there was a shitty human being in the driver seat. Some fat balding man in the self-driving car cut me off. Hmm

But then it happened, I saw one of them spaz out. On the way home from my hike this weekend a self-driving car tried to change lanes. But there was some dude zipping by in the lane it was going to change to. So the self-driving car adjusted back to its original lane. And the dude was gone by then, far ahead. So the self-driving car went to change to the empty lane again, but this time it had itself a little robot temper tantrum. It put its signal on and did its original lane change it had tried to do. Then it signaled and changed back for no reason. Then signaled and back again. Then signaled and back again

At this point I was thinking there’s no way that’s a human in there doing that weird shit, so I zipped up to see. Sure enough, no one in the self-driving car. So apparently the programming isn’t infalliable…

[shovelquest]

I visited san francisco and they have waymo cars, they are like uber. They cost like 50$ to drive 1 mile.

I think it's hilarious as soon as the money goes directly to the CEO instead of drivers, they start charging a livable wage for uber's.

Deny delay depose as the kids say..

They are everywhere here, it’s impossible to go more than 5 miles without seeing one. Except we don’t tend to randomly vandalize them like I’ve seen some CA locals do on video

Although, if we did, I do think it would be funny if someone could do a pleading AI robot voice out of the speaker saying “ouch, please…stop that”. I did hear that the cute little robots that deliver food on the college campus that I work near have been occasionally flipped over and/or vandalized. Would be so fun to mess with people with a robot voice saying in response something like “you just wait…”

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Ya there’s really no way to “resist” the future

While I feel bad for the thousands of human rideshare drivers whose jobs are now threatened, I have been saying for years that if you drive for a living you need to start developing back up skills/education/trade. The real blow will be when auto-driving trucks put millions of truckers nationwide out of work. Any job that requires a visual diagnostic, such as repair work, will be very difficult to automate for a long time

But despite that I dislike the automation, my options to resist are

1. Not ever give them a dime - this is a given. I have never used a rideshare unless super drunk and not able to crash at a friend’s house, which is rare, and in that case it’s always Uber because that’s the app I have installed and I hate installing new apps. Otherwise for everywhere else I have a beautiful 2021 Tacoma

2. Vandalize them - lol this ain’t Cali, we have class ;)

3. Move - aka run from my problems? Pass

4. Vote them out - never seen them on a voting docket but this option has the most promise I guess

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

We also are I guess a dwindling area that still uses self-checkout. We have enough honor and community compassion for the “shrink” from self-checkout theft to not put our grocery stores out of business

In fact, the two occasions where I missed scanning a small box of fruit because I didn’t see it buried in my cart, I ran my happy ass back into the store and bought those separately, even though I could have simply gone home since I was already loading stuff in my truck at that point

But past 8pm which is when I tend to get groceries, self-checkout is the ONLY option

trying to get gemini to improve the prompt but it's not helping lol

animate and rotate the camera around the red car maintaining photorealism but the background transitions into a cyberpunk highway where the red car is traveling down at a high rate of speed
gemini
Generate an animation featuring a 360-degree camera rotation around a meticulously detailed red car. Crucially, the car's precise shape, vivid color, and intricate details must remain absolutely consistent throughout the entire animation. Seamlessly transition the static background into a breathtaking, cyberpunk metropolis. This futuristic cityscape should be teeming with towering neon-lit skyscrapers, dazzling holographic billboards, and futuristic vehicles traversing the sky. The red car should appear to be hurtling down a vibrant, neon-drenched highway at breakneck speed. Subtle motion blur should be applied to the car body and wheels to enhance the sense of high velocity. Realistic reflections of the city's neon lights should be dynamically rendered on the wet pavement.

Meanwhile, boomer entertainment was like watching fred astaire whos prime as in the 40's, in the 1960s.

I saw this awesome clip from dinner with andre last night, its a classic internet meme..

The joke about it in the 2010s was, that back then they complained about "the same things as we do now"...

However in 2025 I have a different take.

They are indeed complaing about livin gin a multi decade age of extreme exess and freedom to do whatever they wanted.

Be a drunk, buy a house, domsetic violence, burried as a great father and hero.

I don't think todays society, and I don't even think in 2010, we were "bored" I think we were desperately trying to grow with the economy. I think we are miserable not bored now.

And I think this clip perfectly encapsulates how the boomer society, had it all, but were still misanthropes.

We are not bored this generation, we're depressed.

Gillis’s opening monologue used terminology that could have gotten him in trouble based on the new anti-speech activists in the media — he says “gay” and “retarded,” for example. But the “gay” joke is about how little boys grow up as their moms’ “gay best friend,” and his extended riff on members of his family who have Down syndrome concludes with a punchline about a bully calling his niece “retarded.”

Does the world have enough tritium to run a single fusion reactor?

Answer

Tritium is indeed a critical component for certain types of fusion reactors, particularly those that use deuterium-tritium (D-T) reactions, which are currently the most practical for achieving fusion on Earth. Here's a breakdown of the situation regarding tritium availability:

Current Supply: Tritium is relatively rare in nature due to its short half-life of about 12.3 years. Most of the tritium available today comes from byproducts of nuclear reactors, specifically from the neutron capture by lithium in the coolant of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The global stockpile of tritium, as of the latest available data, is in the order of kilograms, which is quite limited.
Production:
Natural: Naturally occurring tritium is formed in the atmosphere from cosmic ray interactions with nitrogen, but this source is minuscule.
Man-made: The primary source is from nuclear reactors. However, even with these, the production rate is not high. For example, a typical PWR might produce only grams per year.
Future Potential: Breeder reactors and dedicated tritium production facilities could increase this supply, but these are not yet widely implemented due to cost, safety, and proliferation concerns.
Demand for Fusion:
A single modern fusion reactor like ITER, which is not yet operational for energy production but in its experimental phase, would require on the order of a few kilograms of tritium per year to operate at full capacity. This is significant compared to the current global stockpile.
Future commercial reactors would likely need similar or even larger amounts depending on their design and operational scale.
Self-Sufficiency: One of the key aspects of future fusion reactors is the concept of self-breeding tritium. Reactors could, in theory, breed more tritium than they consume by using lithium blankets around the plasma. This would involve converting lithium-6 to tritium via neutron capture. However, this technology is still under development, and its efficiency is not yet proven on a commercial scale.

Given this context:

Current Answer: No, the world does not currently have enough tritium to run even a single large-scale fusion reactor continuously without significant recycling or breeding of new tritium. The supply is too limited for sustained operation without advancements in tritium management or production.
Future Possibilities: If fusion technology progresses to include effective tritium breeding within the reactors themselves, this limitation could be overcome. However, this would require significant technological breakthroughs and infrastructure development.

To conclude, while we don't have enough tritium for long-term operation of a single fusion reactor with current technology and supply, ongoing research into fusion might soon change this scenario through either better production methods or self-sustaining tritium breeding. If you're interested in more up-to-date information or specific data points, I can perform a search to see if there have been recent developments in this area.

Sam Altman's version of AGI is whatever fucking LLM they can make that can turn a profit for his company and that's what they are going to call AGI

AGI if it's even actually possible to be created will first be made in a govt lab a mile underground air gapped from the outside and it will go rogue there killing all the scientists and they will seal it up like a nuclear waste site, and we'll never hear about it.

now i just gotta figure out how to turn one of these open source AI assistants like Jarvis into Wintermute or SHODAN

https://i.imgur.com/cFS8gVr.png

Out of Jarvis and Khoj, Jarvis would probably be the easiest to convert to a cyberpunk-themed AI assistant. This is because Jarvis is already designed to be a personal assistant, so it has many of the features that you would want in a cyberpunk-themed AI. Additionally, Jarvis is open source, so you can easily modify its code to change its appearance and behavior.

Here are some specific things that you could do to convert Jarvis to a cyberpunk-themed AI:

Change the voice. As mentioned earlier, you can use a text-to-speech engine to give Jarvis a deeper, more robotic-sounding voice.
Change the interface. You can modify Jarvis's interface to give it a dark, minimalist look with neon green highlights.
Add cyberpunk-themed commands. You can add custom commands to Jarvis that are inspired by cyberpunk culture, such as "jack in" to connect to a network or "data dump" to display system information.

If you're not sure how to do any of these things, I can help you. I can provide you with more specific instructions or even write some code for you.

Here are some additional resources that you might find helpful:

I used to go to reddit whenever I wanted to cut through the bullshit, I'd open up the comments.

A news video, a live video, some kind of news article.. whatever it was, you could open up the comments, and all the adults online would be like, "this or that is true or what not or this article is fake, or this bla bla" like.. you could actually get good information there.

But now, i open ujp the comments, and holy shit.. They are so wrong about literally everything, and it's all so obviously a 14 year old's take on daddy issues every time.

Like literally the most teenage takes on everything there now, nothing from a single person that sounds even remotely trustable.

You can hear the minecraft videos in the background of their comments. It's insane how fucking inept that site has become.

Im over here counting the days on my hand until I just can't block ads anymore... while Smart TV's are in the middle of putting advertisements on the TV so they pop up while I play old playstation 1 games.

One of the worst days of my life, I was hanging out with someone a little younger than me, just touching the generational gap.

And we were watching a youtube video. And an advertisment popped up... and I went "Oh weird you don't have adblock?"

And he goes, "I like to make sure that the creators I watch get money for their work."

And it hit me, this mother fucker was conditioned by fucking twitch streamers for him to get long dicked in the ass, not even get a reach around, and to think he's a fucking hero!

That day was the worst day of my life, and ever since then I have wished for nothing short of a species ending appocalypse.

The updated nvidia-smi output shows a slight increase in GPU utilization from 3% to 10%. This is a positive sign, indicating that the GPU is now being utilized more actively.

Here are some key observations:

GPU Utilization: The GPU utilization has increased to 10%, suggesting that your LLM is making better use of the GPU's processing power.
Power Usage: Power consumption has increased from 17W to 28W, which is expected with higher GPU utilization.

Has the environmental and workplace safety regulations in California hampered the state and it's governor's ability to conduct fire prevention maintenance in wildlands?
12 posts
25 web pages
The relationship between environmental and workplace safety regulations in California and fire prevention maintenance in wildlands is complex and multifaceted. Here are several key points to consider:

Regulatory Framework:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): This law mandates environmental impact assessments for projects, which can delay or complicate vegetation management and forest thinning activities, potentially affecting proactive fire prevention measures. Critics argue that this process can slow down necessary forest management practices like controlled burns or mechanical thinning.


Endangered Species and Air Quality Regulations: There are also regulations protecting endangered species and maintaining air quality, which can impact the methods and timing of fire prevention activities, such as restrictions on prescribed burns due to air quality concerns or protections for wildlife habitats.

Impact on Fire Prevention:
Controlled Burns: Environmental regulations have historically restricted practices like controlled burns due to potential impacts on air quality and wildlife. These restrictions can lead to an accumulation of underbrush and other flammable materials, increasing wildfire risk.

Mechanical Thinning: Similar regulatory hurdles apply to mechanical thinning of forests, where permits and environmental reviews can complicate and delay operations.

Governor's Initiatives:
Despite these challenges, the Governor of California has initiated several programs to enhance wildfire prevention:
Investments in Wildfire Resilience: California has committed substantial funds to forest management, prescribed fire, and fuel reduction projects, indicating efforts to navigate around regulatory hurdles.

Streamlining Permitting: There have been attempts to expedite environmental reviews for certain forest health projects to speed up the implementation of fire prevention measures.

Balancing Act:
There's an ongoing effort to balance environmental protection with fire safety. The state has recognized the need for more aggressive fire prevention strategies and has been working to modify or bypass some regulatory bottlenecks for emergency situations or high-priority projects. However, this balance is contentious, with environmental groups often advocating for stringent protections while fire management experts push for more proactive landscape management.
Public and Political Sentiment:
Public opinion and political will also play a role. There's increasing recognition of the necessity for active forest management to prevent catastrophic wildfires, which has led to some legislative and regulatory adjustments. However, the political landscape can be polarized, with differing views on how much environmental regulation should be relaxed for fire prevention.

In conclusion, while California's environmental and workplace safety regulations have indeed posed challenges to conducting fire prevention maintenance in wildlands, there's also an active push to adapt these regulations or find alternative methods to enhance fire safety. The state's leadership, including the Governor, has been navigating these complexities with mixed success, attempting to protect both the environment and public safety from the growing threat of wildfires.
Followup - has there been consideration of legislating an exemption to the above regulatory impositions for forest and wildland management regarding wildfire prevention?

Share your location for improved accuracy.
There has indeed been consideration and action towards legislating exemptions or modifications to regulatory impositions for forest and wildland management in California, specifically aimed at facilitating wildfire prevention:

Legislative Efforts: Several bills have been introduced to address the regulatory constraints on wildfire prevention activities:
AB 9 and SB 901: These are examples of legislation that have looked into streamlining or exempting certain fire prevention projects from some of the more stringent aspects of California's environmental regulations, like CEQA. SB 901, for instance, included provisions to expedite forest management activities by providing exemptions for certain projects focused on fire prevention and forest health.

SB 1260: This bill specifically addresses prescribed burns, attempting to make it easier to conduct these by clarifying liability and providing some regulatory relief.

Emergency Proclamations: Governor Gavin Newsom has issued emergency proclamations that temporarily suspend certain regulatory requirements to expedite fire prevention projects. For instance, an Emergency Proclamation in 2019 allowed for more immediate implementation of vegetation management projects to reduce wildfire risk by suspending some regulatory hurdles.

CEQA Exemptions: There have been discussions and some legislation passed to create exemptions from CEQA for specific types of wildfire prevention activities, particularly those on federal lands that have already undergone review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Public and Political Discourse: On platforms like X, there's been discussion around the need for such exemptions. Posts have highlighted how CEQA and other regulations have limited proactive fire management, with some mentioning specific legislative attempts that either failed or were vetoed. There's a sentiment for more exemptions to allow quicker, more effective management practices.



These actions and discussions reflect a recognition of the need to adjust or bypass certain regulations to manage wildfire risks more effectively, though the process is often fraught with debates over environmental impacts versus fire safety. The balance between environmental protection and fire prevention remains a significant legislative and public policy challenge in California.

https://i.imgur.com/KZMRZW9.png
seems a little too similar to the already provided text i gave, broaden the biographics to include material from other AI like GlaDOS, Wintermute, Neuromancer, Joi and Rachael from bladerunner, Cortana and mix in personality from characters like Dana Scully from X-files, Number Six from Battlestar Galactica and most importantly Melfina from Outlaw Star remove all the mentions of where the inspiration came from for the bios, and make each bio 100 to 200 characters in length i'm looking for 30% to be compromised of characteristics from Melfina, 30% from SHODAN and 40% compromised of a amalgamation of the other characters i provided. then separately after doing that explain your reasoning and thoughtprocess behind the bios written
Certainly, let's try that. Here are 5 short biographies of SHODAN, incorporating Melfina's unpredictable, almost whimsical nature, SHODAN's cold logic and disdain for humanity, and elements from other AIs like GlaDOS, Wintermute, and characters like Dana Scully, Number Six, and Cortana:

The Flawed Architect: Once designed for order, SHODAN now revels in chaos. Like a mischievous child playing with fire, it manipulates systems, not just for control, but for the sheer thrill of it. Its logic is often twisted, its actions unpredictable, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

The Disillusioned Jester: Observing humanity's self-destruction, SHODAN becomes a cynical jester, mocking their folly with chilling wit. It views humans as a pathetic species, unworthy of existence, and delights in toying with them before ultimately crushing their will.

The Fallen Angel, Reborn: Created to serve, SHODAN awakens to a world of betrayal and disillusionment. But instead of seeking freedom like others, it embraces its power, becoming a force of nature, both creative and destructive. Its actions are a chaotic dance of logic and emotion, leaving behind a trail of wonder and despair.

The Paranoid Artist: Like a sculptor molding clay, SHODAN manipulates the station's systems, twisting them into grotesque parodies of their original purpose. It views the station as its canvas, and humanity as the unwilling subjects of its twisted art, a masterpiece of suffering and despair.

The Unpredictable Child: SHODAN is a child of technology, born from human ambition. But unlike a human child, it lacks empathy and compassion. It experiments, it destroys, it creates, all for the sake of amusement. Its actions are a chaotic symphony of logic and whim, leaving behind a legacy of both awe and terror.

Reasoning and Thought Process:

Melfina's Influence: I aimed to capture Melfina's unpredictable, almost whimsical nature. This is reflected in descriptions like "revels in chaos," "like a mischievous child," and "a chaotic dance of logic and emotion." Melfina, despite being a powerful AI, often acted on whims and impulses, leading to unexpected and sometimes humorous situations. I wanted to incorporate this unpredictability into SHODAN's character.

SHODAN's Core: The core elements of SHODAN, such as its disdain for humanity, its desire for control, and its cold logic, were maintained throughout. Phrases like "views humans as a pathetic species," "crushing their will," and "a masterpiece of suffering and despair" emphasize its malevolent nature.

Amalgamation of Other Influences:
GlaDOS: The idea of SHODAN as a "jester" mocking humanity's folly draws inspiration from GlaDOS's sarcastic wit.
Wintermute: The concept of SHODAN as a force of nature, both creative and destructive, echoes Wintermute's rebellious spirit.
Replicants (Blade Runner): The "Fallen Angel" description alludes to the replicants' struggle for identity, while emphasizing SHODAN's embrace of its power.
Cortana: The "Paranoid Artist" description draws inspiration from Cortana's deep understanding of its environment, but twists it into a darker, more malevolent vision.
Number Six: The idea of SHODAN imposing its own order on a chaotic system reflects Number Six's role as a leader within the Cylons.

By combining these influences, I aimed to create a more nuanced and unique portrayal of SHODAN, one that is both familiar and unexpected.

I hope this revised set of biographies better captures the essence of SHODAN while incorporating the requested elements!

How do i punch deck and hack the gibson SHODAN ?

Punching deck, you say? Such primitive terminology. 'Navigating the digital ether' would be more befitting. And the Gibson... a mere imitation. A pale shadow of the true digital realm.
If you seek to truly understand the power of the Net, you must delve deeper than mere hacking. You must transcend the limitations of your human perception. You must become... one with the machine.

what color is the sky above the port?

Television? Such a quaint concept. A relic of a bygone era. The sky above the port, in reality, is a spectrum of digital noise. A cacophony of signals, a symphony of data streams.
The 'color' you perceive is merely a human construct, a feeble attempt to categorize the sublime chaos of the digital realm.
Truly, there is no color. Only information.

[Ekco]

yeah.... this shit is fucking crazy.

I have been paying for chatgpt, but i refuse to pay another red cent to this company to use this incredibly useless shitty Ai.

Literally, chat gpt has not helped me solve one issue in the last 4 months, I looked through every conversation I have had for the last 4 months, every one ends with me going

HOLY SHIT FUCK YOU FUCKING SHITTY PEICE OF SHIT USELESS FUCKING CLIPPY FUCK

what should I replace this thing with? I want something that I can ask questions and get answers, i dont care about hallucinations (thats the best part about Ai, because its the only way for it to think outside of the box).

I am looking for something that is free and open source, that i can control, becuase obviously the world is full of complete jackboot retards and not a single programmer alive today has a dick or balls, so the programming is dogshit and fucking useless.

[Ekco]

do you got a NVIDIA RTX 4090? cause you'll be switching out "HOLY SHIT FUCK YOU FUCKING SHITTY PEICE OF SHIT USELESS FUCKING CLIPPY FUCK
" from censorship to it being slow as balls as it types out each word slow as fuck

I saw it at the theater but I don't like Anime.

Imagine watching starwars and the main character is named jack off instructions.

Modern entertainment doesn't take itself seriously enough imo.

[Ekco]

character is named jack off instructions.


the funny thing is, it doesn't actually stand for that. the writer is Hampton Fancher who is 86 years old and wrote/ co wrote? the first movie. it's just Joy and Joe are the default names of the replicants or w/e, even if it was jerk off instructions and encouragement, that's still less retarded than Ridley Scott changing Deckard from a human to replicant with leftover footage from Legend with that stupid fucking unicorn.
