so you can judge us?
I pasted song lyrics
Oh, but I know you'll cause me grief
Close friends of mine are in disbelief
As they can see what's underneath
Fluttering lashes, red lips and pearly white teethI don't show it but I quiver whenever you come near
And I cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear
I want to stop it but I like it too much to let it stop here
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's not my own volition but I fell in deep
By running the distance I'd been advised to keep
I trot to the wolf as a doting and sheep
It's wrong but I want you tonight

I want a strong-fat girlfriend so fucking bad. It's an acrid pain to wake up and realize there is no obese yet extremely muscular female besides me,only my sweat and pillows weaving the fantasy of a perfect lover. As I go through my daily life my thoughts dwindle down to that elusive desire that drives my will yet simultaneously destroys my mental being. I wrote this. https://iwl.me/s/c3e0655f

Damnit I'm so stupid and unorganized.
Here's the sample I gave.

>Ay you, ay you, ay you, ay you. That's a Blue... Boondocks reference. Reference, that is, Not Blue Moon, the beer, but Blue,,, something. Not a reference, but a referal pattern- that moves through the lids of the eyes, of the eyeballs, to the cornea and the, then onto the mind, and then onto my finger tips that tell me through a silicone dream that I want to listen to Asheru.

Not the song I was thinking of but here's some Asheru & Blue Black. Love these guys because they're not too (lyrically) complicated, really puts me at ease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2dboV8guw0 Yet the melody and sampling or whatever, is really, like, really like dope, and schnazy.

Huh

[Anonymous No.14828779]

These threads are a good indicator of how retarded the average person is with regard to metaphysics and how unready humanity is for computers that do anything remotely similar to "thinking."

For someone with a functional brain, it's easy to assume that everybody else has a functional brain too, and that when they see a machine perform some kind of recognizable function, their first instinct is "okay, but what did the machine ACTUALLY do? Yes it spit out an output that we call 'x', but it's obviously not 'doing x' in any essentialist sense, it's doing a bunch of machine-doable things that we have constrained it to do because they approximate 'x' in some useful way." But it turns out, 99.9999999% human beings are full-on retarded. If you say "The 'AI' in this game 'wants' to do xyz" they will just go "OK, the AI wants to do xyz!" without ever asking what that actually means, what "AI" is, etc. If you say "your car is 'self-driving' now" they will just go "AH OK, MY CAR IT DRIVE HIMSELF GOOD?" I'm pretty sure you could just put googly eyes on a broom and say "this is Sweepy, the living broom" and proles would go "I guess that's the living broom then."

It's literally impossible for me to imagine a mind that can hear "here's some wet fire, bro" and go "OK, thanks for this wet fire, I'll cherish it now." ??? ????Shouldn't you immediately go "How can fire be wet" or "How can wet be fire"? It's a category error, a MIND is supposed to procedurally catch things like this. If I said "bro, your flxbzblzz is broken!" you wouldn't go "OOHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" you'd go "what the fuck is a flxbzblzz?" Or maybe you wouldn't, I can't tell anymore. I literally can't tell what your mind is capable or incapable of, if you're the kind of completely worthless retard who inputs random text into a random website and goes "the thing it say x = y" without first asking "what are the inner workings of this black box, how did it get from x to y?" And I don't mean that this should be a common thing people check for, like a technically optional check but one that everyone should have so that it's effectively not optional, I literally mean I don't understand how a human thought itself can not include "What do you mean 'self-driving' lol, like I understand that's a convenient designation but what is it really haha" as a step necessarily prior to "CAR IT DRIVE SELF. ME GET IN SELF-DRIVE GOOGLY EYES CAR. GO CAR GO!"

It's like seeing someone ask full questions to google, questions that aren't even full of keywords but obviously require all sorts of context only a human could know in order to answer. You understand it's a fucking keyword search, right? Or do you? I can't even fucking tell anymore. You can't ask google "what should i do today" and get a real answer, any more than your car is "driving itself," any more than a black box website that assesses random text and compares it to some database is """"making a decision""""" about what something """"is""" or is """like"""""

The people here putting any stock in it (apparently about half looking at the posts) are doing it as an egostroke, and surely they know it on some level. As such it's not a comparative analysis and value judgement machine, its a simple egotroking machine; it is apparently stroking some egos and as such functions that way. It requires little to stroke the ego of the paradoxically insecure yet megalomaniacal people that want to be writers, and they require little to have their ego stroked. People aren't making a category error here, their somehwhat shamefully and knowingly conspiring in an indulgence.

excerpt i wrote on the spot on my phone

Everything screamed with banality. I couldn't bare the ridiculousness of it all. So I took leave and headed straight north. It was night, an absolute night that consumed the senses and left one shuddering with dread of nothing in particular, but dread nonetheless. I went on despite that, as staying here would be self inflicted torture, torture that scarred one for life. What happened behind those maddening enclosed walls I left behind was beyond what the senses could comprehend, yet I witnessed it in all its maddening intensity. It was hell that I escaped and it has remained with me.
