are we all unemployed tech workers? what the fuck

also i have this feeling that unemployement numbers are… not fudged in some way necessarily but like, even the TRU metric which is way higher than “headline unemployment” is still lower now than it was in the late 90s/early 00s pre-financial crisis. the TRU has been consistently going down barring covid but everything is getting shittier and worse for everyone. But the Numbers are still able to go up in some way bc the Numbers have lost all meaning or sense of reality. “the signs of the real have been substituted for the real” - like a zombie economy doing all the things a living economy would do while completely dead, as the cells/people that constitute it are rotting away in a perma-recession

how do you find a recruiter?

many ppl are saying this. the burger is a window and door into the American mind

Its in the name people… please… its literally just a model of language… a big-ass model of language…

the thing that really gets me is that even if the computational theory of mind holds, LLMs still dont constitute a cognitive agent. cognition and consciousness as a form of computation does not mean that all computation is necessarily a form of cognition and consciousness. its so painful. its substitution of signs of the real for the real; a symptom of consciousness in the form of writing has been reinterpreted to mean consciousness insofar as it forms a cohesive writing system. The model of writing has come to stand in for a mind that is writing, even if that model is nothing more than an ungrounded system of sign-interpretation that only gains meaning when it is mapped by conscious agents back into the real. It is neither self-reflective nor phenomenal. Screaming and pissing and shitting myself everytime someone anthropomorphizes an LLM

baudrillard moment, theyre living in a fundamentally different constructed reality that has no relation to the real. its not about intelligence, its about subcultural narrative and the willful acceptance of a simulated reality that appeals to them on a fundamental level. their identity has been reconstructed around consumption of particular strains of media that appeal to their fantasy. They choose deliberately to re-enter the fascist Matrix where reality and imagination have lost any boundary, and if I had to guess I’d point to that as the main reason they love AI slop. stupidity is the wrong word, but burgerbrained is right. The burger, fries, the Amerikkkan flag have all become fetishes not to a superstitious religious population, but to a population that has embraced religious superstition and anti-intellectualism on the grounds of consumptive identity.

e: also I think they could be re-educated, I dont think its impossible

ig its slightly related in that its on tau ceti IV after it got destroyed by the pfhor maybe?

my interest in the trailer plummeted dramatically after the opening. Doesnt seem to have any of the things that I liked about the original
