Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

and an aella fan too
Grimes

Replying to Madamrisom and @Aella_Girl
Aella has hyper original and creative thoughts. It's the most rare and trait, and u cannot train to get it, therefore it is the most valuable one. The thing that usually makes a high iq person actually exceptional is the extreme limits of creativity. Also don't be rude.
this is the person that was supposed to shift musk’s politics towards socialism? folks were surprised this dogwhistling race scientist asshole with fash vibes turned out to be a fash asshole race scientist?
do people actually fall for this shit? I don’t think I’ve ever met a grimes fan in person, but to be fair I am an ancient mummy animated by a curse (which is like being an acausal robot god but a lot more causal and a lot less cool)
she clearly has some idea about writing and playing music, but keeps engaging in anything else
I keep finding the music sounds ok while i'm listening then i can't remember a note the second it finishes
at the risk of doing fucky things to my streaming recommendations again, I’m gonna give this one a listen
update: a solid 3/10 track where the throwaway vocals completely overwhelm everything else? I’m very sure I’m gonna hear this one again when a trailer house slows it down for the remake of Her in a couple of years
my experience was enhanced by this horseshit looping on my screen during the whole song. featuring: props from target! shit lightsaber effects! pointing to something off camera because you didn’t want to get up!
Sounds like Lizzy Wizzy has taken over.
you got that far into cyberpunk? I’m so sorry
not her first rodeo with this either: a track on a previous album was pretty full of it too
in the past I wondered if it were just edgy fantasy-lyricalism, but I hadn't been as overtly aware of the TREACLES at the time. with updated knowledge, the lyrics nearly make me wince
edit: ah, @[email protected] also mentioned this
oh god
Lifted lyrics from youtube comments, with commentary:
I wanna be software
Upload my mind
Take all my data
What will you find?
A disturbing rejection of humanity.
And a disturbing invitation for data harvesting.
I wanna be software
Binary heart
Infinite options
State of the art
A cry for help, for less emotion ?
I wanna be software
I wanna be code
Digital dancing
Upload my soul
Nitpicking, but code is also mere text.
A call for sweet eternal digital un-death.
I wanna be software
The best design
Infinite princess
Computer mind
I don't know that I would trust mortal hands to the design of souls.
Isn't being a princess as you live enough?
I wanna be software
Live in the cloud
Fictional system
Tell me how
Perhaps forgetting that the cloud is very real, not so ethereal and/or without impact/reliance on the "real" world.
[...]
I wanna be, wanna be, software
What will you find? (x4)
You can write me, you can be soft(ware)
You can make me however you like (x4)
You can write me, you can design
You can make me however you like (x2)
Song disturbingly in a electro "love song" lyric style (I hope i'm wrong).
Is this a "Please make me into your robot girlfriend" song ?
drunk update: the song is still stuck in my head and brandy doesn’t help
