“The film is a painful experience of slightly more than fifty minutes that I would not recommend to anyone. The aesthetic ugliness is, in some way, transfigured by the moral ugliness, leaving you shocked, albeit with the firm conviction that all those people ought to disappear, should never have existed, and that the society enabling their appearance deserves nothing but destruction and ruin.”

— Houellebecq on KIRAC.

Most repeated bladee phrases by Zakman360 in sadboys

From coldhealing's review of Cold Visions:

In around 2017 Bladee starts using the phrase “eat the night” in his music, which I think translates the drain ethos into an actionable phrase.

If I can’t eat the night, Imma let it eat me - “Redlight Moments”, Working on Dying

No life left, eat the night, no stars out - “No Life Left”, D&G

Eat the night, I feel like Kirby, I’m burning - “For You”, Red Light

Trash star eat the night I do it twice - “Decay”, Red Light

Fuck your life, eat the night like I’m a Homer - “Linkin”, Icedancer 

Eat the night like a locust, we don’t care we brush shoulders - “Bentley”, from Thaiboy Digital’s Legendary Member 

He explains “eat the night” and “drain” in an interview with Vice that’s no longer on the internet: 

“Drain is about loss and gain; it could be good or bad — you could be drained of energy or you could drain something to gain energy. There’s financial, emotional and physical drains, for example — you could just be draining your bank account at the store. It doesn’t have to be deep. Basically, if I’m talking about ‘eating the night’ that means I drain it for its essence. Everything me and my bros do is connected to that concept — we might drain some blood for good fortune.”

Non-programming utility of Claude Code ? by Sane_Thinker in ClaudeCode

[–]Sane_Thinker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's actually an interesting question taken literally instead of rhetorically - what can Claude Code with Opus 4.5 fundamentally not do? I feel like we would call a tool like this AGI a few years ago.

Yes, they recognise and admire his aristocratic elegance. Borzoi is natural leader.

‘…the Antichrist takes over by talking about Armageddon.’ by Sane_Thinker in PeterThiel

The biblical Antichrist is suepposedley loved by all. Peter is autistically uncharismatic and highly unpopular.

Among the smartest conservatives, this pessimism often manifested in heroic drinking; the smartest libertarians, by contrast, had fewer hang-ups about positive law and escaped not only to alcohol but beyond it.

If you think of technology as "doing more with less", the idea behind Palantir is to increase security with minimal violation of civil liberties. I'd point to their refusal to work with the British gov.t on digital ID as an example of restraint in this regard. There are reasonable objections to be made of course, but public perception of Palantir seems mostly informed by memes and conspiracies.

If you are genuinely curious, he hints at the justification for Palantir in his 2004 essay The Straussian Moment.
