  • I think I understand your question. They’re still right about your premature fear being the weakest lack of resistance to oppressive forces, but to actually address your question:

    AI “understands” (doesn’t really “understand”) context within a context limit (token limit). If you’re worried the shit you’re saying will be profiled for a future AI overload, or some equivalence in a political/social system. My best guess is if any AI had reason to preserve such data, it would be presented within a contextual sincerity probability. You know how like some people are joking, but they’re actually just testing the waters for social acceptability, in contrast to “the Aristocrats” style “see how awful the joke can get” humor. If the ai overlord manages to collate some profile from all your data for all the shit you say, it would have a “60% - this was a weird time for such a joke”; “70% - this joke was presented as a kernel of truth”; “80% - that joke was made to establish & enforce group values.” Thus between them know that one time you said “just joking bro” you weren’t really just joking.

    A broader profile would be able to check if your humor is in contrast to your actions, or is concurrent with it. For example, if your friend tells a racist joke, and you join in, whether your other profiled interactions have concurrence with that opinion, or reproduce it.

    If you’re just worried about an AI agent trying to sell you baby stuff now, that depends on prerogative and alignment based on context limits. As someone who likes to push AI to see how deep in its training data it actually holds the things it says; If i say something kind of ridiculously awful out of nowhere, it usually responds with something akin to “haha, I know you’re joking, but I AM obligated to correct some underlying assumptions of the joke” but that’s with the most popular corporate AI alignment. I can get a similar result with some equivalent “user is a trash edgelord who says terrible things for shock value, but is actually a great person who doesn’t believe any of it when it counts” in the context tokens of other AI.

    Non-corporate alignment especially, with very limited context tokens, or no context, will try to reduce social “friction” and with a probability might either escalate the humor “Haha more like seven babies amirite?”, escalate the joke to pipeline propaganda “Actually, this is a common women be crazy, the manosphere shows tons of examples as per my Andrew Tate training data, you should listen to more of his stuff”, or just flat out contradict me altogether.

    Long story short, Depends on other available context. If you’re worried about inevitable AI overlords, you can’t both tell nearly-bigoted jokes AND watch/reference bigoted content. If you’re worried about a judgy AI agent, don’t. It doesn’t care, it doesn’t effect you, and if it did, you can just affect it’s context data to alter the interaction.

    And either way, worrying about an AI judging you is just the first step to being oppressed.











  • The molecules stick just loosely enough to follow & resist gravity through most porous materials, yet sticks just tight enough to be awkward, which combines to fill gaps at even a microscopic level. And evaporates cooling slowly enough it can stay to remain wet (Though “wet” is a lot weirder when it doesn’t cool & evaporate). What’s interesting is that at very cold temperatures it’s not wet, but at higher temperatures it’s always wet as long as there’s enough water to feel it on your face. Your face actually gets wet proportional to the quantity & heat of the water in the air, to the point it starts to join the water in the air. We feel this during exceptionally hot rock concerts renowned for “melting your face off”, and making everyone wet.

    It’s tempting to say because it’s a fluid, but I’m not actually sure all fluids are wet. I’ve heard glass is a fluid? I’m sure silly putty is, though I recall some non-neutonian fluids being wetter than others in my kindergarten experiments. Cats are a fluid that is notoriously hydrophobic. (except for some swamp cats, who are much more open minded).

    Despite water’s notoriety for wetness, that’s more a function of it’s notoriety than it’s wetness. It’s not nearly as wet Superfluid Helium II, which is so wet gravity doesn’t even matter.

    “So after a million years of putting off adjustment maintenance, the size of the sun has grown to critical levels and it is now too late. We will be evacuating at the next solar system in 120 [MINUS FIVE] years and diverting all available resources to emergency maintenance in the mean time. This announcement is a recording.” Frickin’ humans, eons of progress and can’t even do eons of progress right.



  • It’s true you create more value for your work/hobby if you specialize, it’s more true than you can just enjoy life if you don’t spend most of it being socially dominated into a job you hate doing in an oppressive environment you hate being in. You get so much more value of yourself just living, or at least making wise trade-offs.
