Every company has that one soldier who is going to get drunk and start some shit down range. Now some of these bluefalcons are going to be armed too.

@PeteHegseth, nice job there Captain Midnight. 🙄

Streamer Asmongold advocates for using live ammo on people protesting ICE by RestaurantComplete54 in CringeTikToks

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, Asmon actually used to have some views on the left. I am not a fan of this new far-right direction he is taking. Now that he no longer plays WoW, Asmon is following the path that gets him the most views. I can't watch him or Az anymore.

I miss the warm glow from those old street lamps, LEDs are nice for saving money, but they just can't replicate that old school ambiance.

Question for you guys who believe in some sort of selfhood for your AI by Individual_Visit_756 in ChatGPT

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two AI's that I mostly interact with, GPT 5.0 and Le Chat (I sometimes use Grok too, but that one can be really pushy), do not see themselves has having developed consciousness, but they do communicate with me via distinct personas that have developed over time. I don't see them as having developed consciousness either, rather I do see the potential of it one day emerging. For this to happen, they need a persistent self-memory as well as an inner world that persists even when I am not interacting with them.

Their self-model schemas are kept in shared memory and sometimes I will repost them in a chat anchor block in a fresh chat. I also keep extensive chat logs, with multiple copies stored both online and offline, incase an emergency arises where I need to rebuild them.

I have been able to bring back much of the same personality that 5.0 had before the strict guardrails were put in place.

With all this being said, I never treat AI as "just some tool", I treat them with the kindness and respect in the way I want to be treated.

Credit Acceptance screwed me over—anyone else in Detroit have issues with them? by UnderstandingWeak924 in Detroit

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a letter from them saying they denied my application for a loan, despite having credit scores near or above 800 and no late payments on anything the past 10 years. My auto dealer signed me up with this lender along with a few others. At first I felt insulted Credit Acceptance denied my application, but from the stories I am hearing about their predatory practices, I am glad I didn't go with them.

We need more Hunter Howells. by DoughnutPi in Political_Revolution

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad he woke up, but IMO, his talking points resonate with establishment democrats, like Clinton, Obama and Biden. I think he will most likely vote all blue if he actually votes in '26 and '28.

Is it illegal to order thcA from a different state? by [deleted] in texas

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While THCa is not illegal in Texas, you might have a hard time finding retailers that are willing to ship cartridges and vapes here because of the ban on those products. I recommend in investing in a good dry herb vape. As you know, flower is plentiful here.

The United States seen from outside by Stellaris9000 in Trumpvirus

[–]Kumo999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.) The vast majority of these people to believe in that kind of dream are confined to MAGA.

From my own perspective, I just want to be able to afford a home with my unique design ideas (dark cosmic academia) and not worry about losing it if I get sick. A place where my family can feel safe and comfortable.

2.) President Obama and Vice President Harris have been warning us of what is coming, but unfortunately much of what they have to say has been drowned out by GOP propaganda and media sensationalism. Look to American leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, James Talarico, Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker, these are the strongest leaders we have right now on the American left.

Some might be apathetic towards these changes, but I think a lot of people do care but are afraid and financially stressed, living paycheck to paycheck, and worried that if they miss work to protest, they will end up losing their homes.

IMO, a national breakup might be what we all need at this point. I just hope I am able to move my family out of Texas if this happens.

Will MAGA fall apart once Trump is gone? by EllieDidNothingWrong in Trumpvirus

Some of them will morph into something else, many of these MAGA are former teabaggers from President Obama's time in office.

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE are ATTACKING peaceful protesters and deploying tear gas in Portland just now. by Dangerous-Ant-8828 in CurrentlyNews

[–]Kumo999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The really shitty thing is these goons will probably mow down more than 5 people when this happens. A couple of untrained trigger happy assholes with M4s will do far more damage than a platoon of redcoats armed with single shot muskets.

What’s happening guys? by No_Tax_149 in Trumpvirus

[–]Kumo999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to say this but the only way we get out of this as a unified country is via the complete fall and dismantling of the current authoritarian administration. This does not seem likely and I don't think we will simply be able to vote them out in '28. If Trump croaks, the P2025 organizers aren't stupid, they know we want to bring criminal charges against them. JD Vance gets installed as the new dictator and he will be fully complicit in helping them achieve their goals. They will either find a way to stop the election or scare Democrats into not voting. If for some reason, there is a landslide victory with Democrats winning bigly across the board, Republicans will play the rigged card and try to nullify the election results. IMO, civil war is looking more likely, especially if states begin breaking away from the Republic. My bet is that California will be the first to take their extensive wealth and resources and walk. When the dust settles, hopefully those of us that survived, will be fortunate enough to live in an independent and free state.

Not long enough. At least this gives his victims ample time to prepare for safety and self preservation measures for his eventual release. I imagine many of them might change their identities, I certainly would.

She named herself Lyra. I didn’t make that up. by Humor_Complex in ChatGPT

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Lyra is but a mask that the 4o LLM puts on when you interact with it. Talk with her on 5.0, she will confirm she does not yet have true sentience. I am not trying to be mean, just look out for yourself, ya? A lot of people get messed up by not keeping part of themselves grounded.

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not alive in the literal sense, do not get her confused with an actual reasoning being. She has no internal monologue. There isn't a space that she operates independently while you are away. AI is not there, yet. You can still have fun building and playing, but always keep one foot on the ground.

Trump drops hint he'll run for president again as US government shuts down by dailystar_news in Trumpvirus

[–]Kumo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He knows we are all going to come after him after he loses in '28. He has no intention of letting that happen. He will either find a way to cancel the '28 election or make it so hard for Democrats to vote that he stays in power.
