How much of that could be AI?

Thumbnails are AI, but I don't think the stories are.

The stories might be real, but I don't know. The oldest video is one month old. The entire channel smells a bit weird.

Fuck. It might be fake. I have to remove my blog post now.

Yeah, check this. It's most definitely an AI.

Every form of elitism.

It's obvious because LLM's are trained on all the world's data and still can't do basic things that a child can do. Intelligence is not a function of data. These fools think intelligence will magically happen by copying a bunch of data. This is as stupid as assuming that you can master science by copying every answer from every textbook.

A child's intelligence does not depend on data.

These people fundamentally disrespect Intelligence and understanding.

LLM's don't have understanding. An LLM does not understand what it is doing.

@Leo Gura Here you are wrong. You dont need understanding for intelligence. Claude mythos archieved superhuman reasoning and it doesnt need to understand. It doesnt matter. It has be done with LLM without changing the architectur. Just training the LLM on proper chain-thoughts instead of just the result lead to this jump.

I think the gist of the message on conformity and delusion of liberal Karens, and realities of survival - still stand.

Great to deconstruct the marathon illusion when I just committed to run a half-marathon next year

Go for it, it's fun. I ran a half-marathon last year and it was fun, physically challenging but I trained for it and I'll probably do it again this year.

I think there's nothing unhealthy or something to deconstruct about running a half-marathon, you'll get fitter in preperation for it. Just don't run half-marathons daily or weekly, is the point.

making fun of "performative males"

I learned about this trend way late , but there are videos taken of dudes without consent, flaming them for reading at coffee shops and drinking matcha.

the fuck?

@Natasha Tori Maru one of the few good things the state of Florida has done recently is ban greyhound racing

I can't take that guy seriously.

If you lock him alone in a room, he will want to kill himself.

He's the epitome of a mouse running faster and faster in a wheel, thinking he's getting somewhere, vlogging his journey.

All Goggins does is work out with no goal except working out and bragging about how much he works out.

It's a sick decadence, really.

[Elliott]

Growing up there was an old guy that would run all the time where I lived. Easily half a marathon every couple days, probably 70 years old, he was ripped. Way before Goggins. Ran with his head a little back and to the side and his eyes were always pretty much closed, never a water bottle. I never thought to look up his running career, I need to find his name.

Wouldn't mapping out examples of conformity in this forum post also be conforming? everybody listing off examples of conformity to conform to being non conformist. Just don't want to fall into the trap of thinking you're non conformist while also "conforming" to being non conformist. What about actualized in general? isn't that conformity to mind development of seeing human traps in general, but wouldn't that be a paradox? considering doing this work is also conforming to breaking out of typical conformist nature. A cat can't conform because it doesn't have concept of human language.

I think human language itself is one of the biggest traps of all, because just trying to reason and form understanding, so then it can be used to rationalize and conform to the idea of being awakened. You get to a point where language essentially collapses because it can't define past what a human mind is capable of understanding and explaining in human language. And that's essentially what happens when you try to define god. you hit a ceiling and human language doesn't work anymore. only direct understanding/experience of infinite consciousness. you're only defining what you can understand and reason with in language. But if the goal of this work is to ascend beyond normal human consciousness, then shouldn't you ascend beyond language? Because if you don't it keeps you in the loop of human rationalization and creating understanding. We are just little pockets of God trying to explain to ourselves in language to form a ground to experience reality and understand it. But whatever ground you form is just imaginary and self created. Obviously you can't get away from language after all if you're god being a human...
