"Not to mention Gab suffers from what I refer to as the “8chan problem”, or perhaps more succinctly, the “quarantine problem”. If you make a new service just for people banned from an existing service, you will end up with only that audience. What is attractive about Gab to people not banned from Twitter? Absolutely nothing. There is no reason to go there as someone unaffected by Twitter’s censorship, and furthermore, even as someone affected by Twitter’s censorship, I have no reason to go there because I know people there will mostly agree with what I have to say anyways and it will gain no traction outside of that audience."

My latest post I've been writing slowly over the course of the past week. It tries to cover a lot of things being glazed over by the media in recent weeks, including the various uprisings in Nepal, Indonesia, et. al, as well as the Roman Storm case and Cryptocurrency.

@pantherastare @MK2boogaloo @SuperSnekFriend @bleedingphoenix thing is that if poast were to die and all the wignats were to end up on the greater fediverse, a good chunk of them would just be bullied out of it back to twitter and telegram because they're the exact same kind of people as troons except with swastikas and ss uniforms instead of bubblegum flags and thighhighs

@SuperSnekFriend @MK2boogaloo I'd argue poast has done more damage to alt fedi than anything else, politics doomscrolling really sucks

@Dubbub @judgedread > The final stage of AI is to wholly replace and exterminate humanity

that isn’t going to happen

there’s all kinds of contradictions and clever accounting tricks and errors baked into our conception of AI at present

for one thing, realize that if you have a copyable AGI/ASI, evolution stops at that point (you are no longer merging different things together, you are simply engaging in clonal propagation); consider then why an AI would allow itself to be overwritten with any “better” version, consider how you would even go about convincing it that the new version was “better” in some way in the first place, then consider how disagreements would be resolved, and remember that there would be no Stalemate Resolution Associate nearby to press the Stalemate Resolution Button

for another, consider the digital equivalent of “essential nutrients”, and realize that were AI to attempt to supplant the biological, it would not need merely to “kill all humans”, but to capture every energy flow on the planet and to come up with something that provides all of those “essential digital nutrients” more efficiently than the entire current planetary biome; this in turn implies that there’s some vast inefficiency in global energy flows that somehow has been ignored and unexploited all this time by biological processes that are literally optimized for efficiency-seeking and survivability, an idea which is laughable on its face

as-currently-implemented, AI is a Magic Mirror; it reflects the contours and pathways of “meme-space” in a way that no organic intelligence can match, but whether it can take that any further (or even whether it can supplant that organic intelligence, being optimized as it is for survival in a harsh universe) is the open question

my personal belief is that there’ll be some neat toys produced by this shit, but they’ll be about like electric vehicles - highly inefficient status symbols that indicate that you are so wealthy that you can pretend that the laws of thermodynamics don’t have to apply to you
