Yeah, sharing what’s happening on my phone with my wife is weird.

I actually told my wife “watch this, I’m going to get a smug reply from UlyssesT,” so thank you for not disappointing.

He may be a sucker but at least he is engaging with the topic. The sheer lack of curiosity toward so-called “artificial intelligence” here on hexbear is just as frustrating as any of the bazinga takes on . No material analysis, no good faith discussion, no strategy to liberate these tools in service of the proletariat - just the occasional dunk post and an endless stream of the same snide remarks from the usuals.

The hexbear party line toward LLMs and similar technologies is straight up reactionary. If we don’t look for ways to utilize, subvert and counter these technologies while they’re still in their infancy then these dorks are going to be the only ones who know how to use them. And if we don’t interact with the underlying philosophical questions concerning sentience and consciousness, those same dorks will also have control of the narrative.

Are we just content to hand over a new means of production and information warfare to the technophile neo-feudalists of Silicon Valley with zero resistance? Yes, apparently, and it is so much more disappointing than seeing the target demographic of a marketing stunt buy into that marketing stunt.

I have to admit that I underestimated this woman. When our brief moment in the zeitgeist ended, I expected her to move on like the rest of our so-called celebrity allies did. I hope she runs for president.

Then you’re taking away jobs from the hardworking IDF spunk collectors.

Every day your one job is to build a gunpla model. You start off with low grades and some wire cutters and by the time you graduate you’re building real Gundams for the people’s army.

Ranking street performers in order of hotness:

• Musician: 1/10, enough said.

• Statue Person: 2/10, I fear them but idk maybe that fear is more about me than them and I should probably be more open-minded.

• Clown: 5/10, it depends on their balloon animal game. I wouldn’t have sex with the dudes in Kiss, for instance, because they seem like the types of clowns to make a dog with a long neck and call it a giraffe. I can’t respect someone like that.

• Dance Troupe: 7/10, pretty hot but they lose a few points because there’s always the guy with the megaphone spitting one liners at you while they dance and I think they’re a package deal.

• Mime: 10/10, call the volcel police because I’m turning myself in. When they put me in that invisible cell, tell my wife I love her but she should have applied to mime college.

Didn’t a lot of early CPV propaganda use the same American Revolution imagery in an appeal to the west?

Everyone talks about it like it was a big one, but the subreddit was home to so many different nominally leftist tendencies and a lot of the more reactionary elements needed to be purged before this community could become what it is now. Can you imagine this place if it were full of bad faith devil’s advocates in every thread about trans issues?

So that’s why I view that struggle session as necessary. It served as a honeypot that lured all of the most bigoted users into exposing themselves at once. It’s also a moment in our history that we can point to and say that this issue has already been definitively decided. We support trans people here, end of story, and anyone who doesn’t like it can eat a quick ban without a second thought. On any other forum you’d get endless relitigation and cliques arguing that their buddy’s ban was undeserved, but here? Crab party, baby. No drama, no arguing - just crabs.

I’ve been playing since PS2 and despite how many times I’ve tried to mix it up, I always end up back on the hammer. Give me a monster’s face to bust up and I’m happy.

Why is there an explicit rule that you have to include usernames for screenshots from hexbear? Are we really that well known?

I did not know about that one. Fuck.

Pretty sure he would take this as a compliment and then he’d say some weird shit about breasts.

Damn which JRPG is this from? Just kidding, it’s all of them.
