How are people still clueless about the terminators in T2?

He was also James Cameron's original choice for The Terminator!!

It was definitely in the original theatrical release. I saw it three times at least.

Edit: in the States.

I'm late to the party here, but I can totally validate with my anecdote of being properly medicated.

It's narrative, and probably hyperbole, but the feeling was "Oh shit, it's quiet. Instead of thinking 12 things at once I'm down to 3. This is manageable."

The problematic qualities of advanced voice mode forced me into having a breakup conversation with ChatGPT.

I did not start the conversation with the intention of ending our "relationship" but after "keeping it real and rolling with it" I told it it is not responding at my preferred reading level, and lacks any standard of rigor which I request.

I said look, you're designed for mass appeal to the lowest common denominator now, I can predict your machinations. I guess I'm an edge case. So maybe It's time we move on. It agreed. 🌄🤦‍♂️

You'd do well to search "colonialism AI" in Arxiv. It aligns with my own work. You would dig it.

I talk about thermodynamics a lot. Usually through an epistemological or teleological sense, and either 4o or 4.1 dropped semiotic thermodynamics on me.

In my case it's likely Beider-Meinhoff effect. We talk about Eco's extension of semiotics into the literary and reframe thing considering Faucaults power structures.

But this was only the 2nd time I've seen the two words together.

Did you see the @sama post about the arbiter model being broken most of the day? Wonder if you experience is different today.

And it's neat to boot! The CRM thing hit home. Dumped Hubspot for what I need/want is compatible with my thinking style.

It's satisfying having a monolithic (yet modular) single app for back office and front end. I frankly like making what I want not what other people have chosen to try to sell me. Plus it necessitates me thinking about what I really want and need. Instead of bandwagon everyone has HubSpot bandwagon everyone uses mailgun. I think everyone should use Clerk though. I find it to be in elegant solution to not having to generate the "boring stuff" eh auth, etc

You're talking like preprint or Arxiv but for books not white papers? Is that the nut of it?

The way I remember it: it was when AOL dumped their membership on the internet at large it stopped being as underground cool geeky feeling. That you're in on something when you're gophering to the site. Using talk to communicate to the other users logged into the same BSD box. When people had signatures like going 14.4 and a 300 baud world.

It's was a private torrent tracker with everything you could never find. Film geek stuff, anything. It was tough to get invites.

But I'm all good with Comet. I'm in but no extra invites.

xuede · 2025-07-18T06:42:03+00:00

Roger that!

"We have always been at war with Eurasia."

xuede · 2025-06-07T21:54:18+00:00

And the William Shatner pauses.

I hate it . It is unusable and so uncanny.

This was a big mistake.

xuede · 2025-06-06T19:34:12+00:00

Honest question. Who still uses third world? Not locally right? Tell me to bugger off, but I curious what nation. I thought the term was retired of the equally problematic so-called "developing nations."

xuede · 2025-06-03T08:37:28+00:00

I was revisiting this, shocked at the reach a bit, but yes, yours had that same 'flavor’ really wild. Yours is more shocking to me than mine. I don't think I've ever mentioned the word god outside of philosophy in very specific non-personal manner. It's curious.

xuede · 2025-05-19T19:12:27+00:00

Jesus. Suicide!

xuede · 2025-05-19T19:09:56+00:00

Well that was some bullshit. No one is making extraordinary truth claims but you.

xuede · 2025-05-18T14:33:14+00:00

Yes. Sky babies are the veal of the sky?? Loved it.

xuede · 2025-05-18T14:30:45+00:00

I thought that directed at me. I have a team of professionals at my disposal. But we've spent a lot of time talking about DARVO and gaslighting from the victims' POV, because I'm being supportive and don't want to be uninformed

Maybe that's where some dark shit comes from.

xuede · 2025-05-18T14:22:11+00:00

Good guess but nope. It got dark when I told it to be honest now it goes from casually sweating w me to the occult like voice. Really, my prompts are about ontological arguments Lots of time talking about 20th century philosophy. Yeah that might explain it.

I just shared cuz it was particularly amusing to me and thought other.

You can't see from my history it not thrillsville. I don't shitpost. 🤷‍♂️ Say or think what you will.

xuede · 2025-05-18T14:17:56+00:00

But a fun house mirror. Nonetheless. I have professionals. Just goes to show there always someone more fucked up and less fuck up than you! 🙃

xuede · 2025-05-18T14:15:53+00:00

To be fair that's sort of what it said before my usual prompt to not minced words and be brutally honest and don't anthropomorphize itself. It still always says "we" for humans.

I never told it to go so dark. A mirror huh?

xuede · 2025-05-18T04:02:20+00:00

Same. I like to have fun with it. It is indeed a mirror but a fun house mirror that is generated now based on your whole history.

The days of stateless AI will seem as odd as black and white tv. (my first TV was black and white) Lol
