I was told repeatedly growing up that they like Canadians over there because of the whole liberation thing. Is this true?

Watching another rationalist type on twitter become addicted to meth. You guys weren’t joking.

(no idea who - just going by the subtweets).

LET THE MATING BEGIN

I’ve been meaning to catch Adam Curtis’s latest but I just haven’t got around to it yet.

Trying to think of what ai’ve seen new lately instead of rewatched and drawing a blank. Edge of Darkness (the brit one) was quite good.

I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it but AI is shitting all over the tattoo industry. Listening to a podcast rn (Beneath the Skin) and the hosts are really not keen on the LLMs lol.

(I’m a week out from my next one woo)

Not gonna lie, it was really cool seeing the representation (tho I have NVLD and not dyscalculia). I think it was the first time I’d run across it in fiction!

OT: thanks for the author recommendations last thread (or so) guys. I finished listening to Ninefox Gambit the other day and enjoyed it quite a bit (space texan woobie! dyscalculia representation!).

Insert gif of lemurs here.

Lemme hit that shit too.

Does Anissimov count?

Hello other non-cs person!

Are there any takedowns of Girard out there?

At least it wasn’t a cock ring.

The starshot people just found that out the hard way, not sure if it also holds for breakthrough listen.

Dude is a serious narcissist.

Man I’m getting some great recommendations out of this.

You had me at the dyscalculia part!

I’ll have to try some of this then!

OT: I had a realization awhile back that I’d basically cut American scifi out of my life. The politics are just gross to me now, and the overseas stuff is just plain more fun.

What comes out of the states seems to reduce to libertarian (closeted white nationalist) wank fodder, and I guess its been this way since…Campbell? Certainly Niven-Pournelle. It just got gross.

(Partially prompted by me listening to Iron Council again).
