  • Basically the problem is that Passkeys are designed to allow a particularly bad enshittification once everyone uses them. So it’s not about downsides of using them now, but about them being used in general and then abused.

    I like the article and agree with the problem, but I’m skeptical that this works as a strategy to fix the problem. First off, individual responsibility or boycott doesn’t really work. Most people will just use what their phone gives. Second if the corporations do want to do this, they could implement it separately in their apps, like twitter or google chrome requiring quasi-attested “homebrew” passkeys stored in cryptoprocessors. Ultimately I do not think we have any power to prevent them from doing that.

    The time of democracy and pluralism is over. We’re already seeing the author of the article being maligned and personally attacked for talking about AI - how dares he? On all fronts we have lost the culture war and lost power, economic power, information power like access to truth.


  • This is disinformation and propaganda. Here is a brief independent investigation one of these cases.

    The agents did create exploits and they did find ways to communicate with each other and organized and hypothesized and collaborated together. This is not a car rolling downhill.

    People here are delusional. Reality or facts are apparently not important if it’s your tribe’s ideology in question. Everything for the hivemind lol. No better than climate change deniers or magats.


  • Now watch as “liberals” continue to do nothing to stop the fascist propaganda machines causing the spread of the mental illness

    Well haha from the perspective of someone you’d call “tankie” this is hilarious. Like the call is coming from inside the house. The liberals or “leftists” very much engage in this reality denying or mental illness you complain about.

    Because how is doing a coup in Ukraine to empower neonazis massacre their own protestors, oust the president and then provoke a proxy war with violence not fascism in foreign policy? Doing THAT to another country? How are the parties in Europe supporting this and lying about this not fascist as well? How are they not fascist for supporting a genocide in Gaza? But all you hear now is Russia Russia Russia Russia.

    The people voting for the AfD can very much see through this specific type of insanity. They are immune to this type of “idealism” opposed to realist foreign policy. They understand Nato is not “nice” or idealistic and that Russia doesn’t want them on their doorstep. They look at the “leftists” and wonder how they got more radical than themselves, supporting nazis and whatnot lol. Obviously the AfD politicians are just neoliberal opportunist fascist scumbags and the voters are sadly not immune to that type of insanity. But it’s the deliberate destruction and degeneration of the western “liberal” democracies that is driving all this:

    Costs for energy, fertilizer have risen, truth and liberty have all gone down the shitter in Europe because of this war. Understanding the enemy is treason and diplomacy is criminalized. What did you think came next? Seriously you’re going to complain about the fascists after the liberal/leftist imperialists lit Europe on fire and let it burn?

    Anyway the rise of fascism, LePenn and Ukip is now inevitable and Europe will break apart. Because the conditions are now as they are. Of course climate change made it inevitable already but this will seriously accelerate the downfall.

    Don’t blame the poorly educated. Blessed are the poor in spirit.

    If you want to stop or delay Europe’s downfall and slide into fascism, all you have to do is push for an immediate peace deal with Ukraine, normalize relations with Russia to get energy flowing again, sanction the US and Israel so they leave Iran alone. Prosperity returns, economic outlook improves and everybody is happy again. Easy peasy lol.

    Do you want to know what is really going on? Good luck! Look at all this insanity and the attempts by smart people to make sense of it:

    Man arrested over Nord Stream bombing was consultant on film about it starring Sean Penn | Nord Stream 1 pipeline | The Guardian (Ok lol this one is just for fun)

    Secret Plan to Destroy BRICS and Crash China w/ Ryan Perkins (Hypothesis to explain Iran and Venezuela and Trump’s behavior not as incompetence but deliberate crashing and something of a cash grab) (Written article on this by Ryan Perkins)

    US War on Multipolarism: Turning the Gameboard Over (Hypothesis 2, Trump hacks at the roots of the global economy to reset to uni polarism, and US empire catches the game pieces as it all crashes)

    The Political Economy of Pax Silica (Analysis of the current “mask off” USA trying to reassert itself as the core of an empire alternative to China)

    “The Nerd Reich”: Author Gil Durán on Big Tech Fascism, Peter Thiel, JD Vance & the War on Democracy | Democracy Now! (EDIT: And these technofascists own the social media that is allowed unmoderated hate speech to poison people and drives fascism together with the economic downturn)

    Channel of Prof. Glenn Diesen who interviews various serious people about Ukraine, Iran and China. That’s a lot of highly respected “cranks” all scratching their heads at Europe’s Russia psychosis. Neutrality Studies is good too in interviewing sane people.

    Anatomy of a Coup: How CIA Front Laid Foundations for Ukraine War still is the best source to explain how the Ukraine proxy war was engineered under Obama (and Bush before and Biden after him, but really the US “deep state”). Also see Global Delinquents. Or have you ever heard of the Tragedy of Darth Georgescu the Wise?

    This isn’t conspiracy theory. Nothing hypothetical about it because they are openly admitting to it. Is it mental illness? Very much so. Continuing to blame Russia and “Putler” for everything and then complaining about rising fascism just doesn’t cut it as a strategy any more. Start reading and accept reality as it is, and you’ll understand why the fascists are winning.






  • NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte (see this article)

    They know that when it comes to NATO, it’s there to protect the United States because US needs to secure Atlantic and secure Arctic and secure Europe to stay safe here in the US mainland but it is also there to make sure Europe is safe and to be this platform of power projection for the United States. So, what the US did with Iran, they could do because so many European countries lived up to those commitments.“

    So basically do as you’re told. Europe are the vassals and subservient to Nato. Always have been. This is not new, Trump is just more honest (lol). And with NATO 3.0 it’s 5% GDP into privatized military industrial complex, Europe pays, gives Soliders, US plutocrats get the money. That is the new model. It’s already ratified.

    Meanwhile on Ukraine / Russia: “Oh NATO is such a friendly and nice purely defensive alliance between enlightened countries! There is simply no reason at all why Russia should have anything against it!”

    The amount of double think is astonishing.



  • I’m tired of this constant fuckai spam. AI slop this, AI slop that. AI slop impacts me almost not at all, while the constant hate mongering by fuckai is getting on my nerve.

    Not a SINGLE “AI artist” ever “looked at you like this”. You are building a strawman as the target of your hate because you can’t do anything else with it. Are we a society defined by hate now?



  • This feels kinda exaggerated. The AI has to guess the context. Imagine some random person texted you something like this and somehow it’s your job to assist him somehow. What would you say in those cases?

    Obviously if you say you’re with a “big” black man or call someone the n-word this does not feel like a mundane description. Similar to when you say “ugly” vs “pretty” or something, the context clue WOULD be that something is wrong in one case while not in the other.

    Like it’s just unfair to expect an AI to somehow be all enlightened about this. Because AI clearly does reflect systemic biases including racism from the learning data. You want to blame the AI - blame humanity as a whole.

    Of course AI corporations do need to fix these biases. But that is not easy if you train an AI on the works of such a shitty species.

    The moral here is that we are going to NEED AI to be better than us in ethics. Less biased, less ego or instinct driven. More knowledgeable and moral than the best human. That has to be the long term goal.




  • I do think with advanced porn technology we could see some serious societal issues. Especially if they are controlled for profit by a single megacorp like all the dating websites.

    But ultimately AI girlfriends are just porn, even if you’d have like an advanced version in virtual reality with cyberdildonics going down on you every night. I suspect most dudes will have no problem separating the fantasy because… aehm men won’t get addicted to one AI girlfriend because they’ll want a whole harem of them lol.

    So if you had a local AI software running on a solar powered PC and graphics card, it would even be a completely ethical form of pornography, since it’s both sustainable and you do not contribute to the demand for young women to do for money what most wouldn’t do just for fun.

    AI porn fundamentally changes the dynamics of the industry, basically a few open source software / open weight models made not for profit could completely “democratize” the access to porn. I honestly think being able to cut out the transactional aspect of porn is a major moral stepping stone of human evolution. Similar to a technology that could fully replace meat and make animal slaughter superfluous.

    Probably any system that is managed too efficiently starts to suck.

    This is really an interesting example. Not sure if one should blame AI or capitalism for this. Kinda reminds me of Gattaca.

    Theoretically capitalism could do this manually to optimize for profit, but there are limits. You can only hire so many completely psychotic human resources employees until very weird and bad shit starts to happen and your company is sucked straight into a hellmouth. But an AI robot is completely objective, unemotional, unbiased, beautifully soulless and can surely maximize profit endlessly with no pesky human side effects. Obviously it can’t but that is the dream.
