The Antiwar-Nazbol Industrial-Complex
by professor rat 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

A danger exists - and will persist - in our counsels, of the power of an Antiwar dotcom - National-Bolshevik industrial complex ( Qanon, 8chan, KGB, Wikileaks, GRU Counterpunch, etc ) Such an entity arose due to the outsized influence Americans had on the net circa 1975 - 2005. Its weakness became apparent once normal people began to outnumber them in 2005. So it was shored up with help from the likes of Julian Rand Paul Assmange and Vladimir Pooter. So? I would barely mention it today except extreme dumbfucks like Donald Trump and Jim Dumbell keep bringing it up. Fucking revolting gasbags! Thankfully a Marxist biowar agent is killing a lot of them off. Its poetic justice and saves us the work.

If Gov-Corp* was HALF-as-bad as some on this list opine then surely at least one of these whiney little bitches would have joined in the long-standing ( over 20 years! ) deadpool on this prominent ' Govcorp ' representative. https://stiffs.com/celebrity/billgates *Assuming there is a govt-corporate entity identical to Marxist-Communist dogma. "... The executive of the modern state is but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie..."

Trump alleges tech is acting as state actors

https://www.newsbreakapp.com/n/0bhBNj1E?share_id=eyJ1c2VyaWQiOjE2NzM0MzEyLC… Jim Bell's comment: I think Trump's team has a valid argument here. Those social media companies have been acting as 'state actors' by apparently taking orders from government. Some of the statements they've made confirm that.

[ot][crazy][random][wrong] self-description
by Karl 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

I'm presently having one of those bursts of craziness that often results in weird fiction or other nonsense. It's kind of like some of the parts in me have urgently come together to say that whatever I am doing, it is the wrong thing to do. At weaker periods in my life I would be on a trip to a hospital, but I don't really do that any more (knock on wood). The urges enjoy things that I consider very bad ideas. Aggressive behaviors, etc etc. Especially ones that might harm me or things I care about. I think of my mind using private terms like 'axes' and 'dimensions' that relate to different ways I have of thinking, considering, being, etc. At these times often we have a little 'emergency' direction to handle things with. The 'Boss' stories were a little bit like one of those, but not really with me that involved in them. I probably spam this list because it's a resource. Not really sure. -- Now i've hit what I call 'level 2', where my coping patterns for managing my behavior have gotten grabbed by the upset urges. I keep the coping patterns in layers, for emergencies, so that I have options as things develop. But most of these experiences, such as this one, aren't really emergencies. I've been working with AI technologies a little. Kind of a long, internal, story. Deepmind releases its research open source, and if you can understand that stuff you can probably accomplish a lot in a lot of different domains. Things are constantly developing. Each project at https://github.com/deepmind/deepmind-research (I think it is?) has some pretty clear examples within its subfolder. The commit history shows how recent they are. News reports elsewhere show how interesting they are, I suppose. Meanwhile I tried to cobble together https://github.com/xloem/codesynth (see "wip" branch for latest work) to collect code generating language models together. It's likely on hold right now; I can barely touch this stuff, like most stuff I focus on. It's based on huggingface's transformers work. Try to link it into https://github.com/ycm-core/ycmd (I think it is?) to make an autocompleting code editor. --- Okay, that actually reduced 'level 2' a little bit, which is rare. I posted earlier the importance of the meaning of what happens to us and our communities: it is far worse elsewhere. I really believe in the importance of honoring that, and it seems very hard. A psychiatrist once theorised that I have bursts of microseizures throughout my brain. It would cause me something like that to try to measure whether it is true, but I think of it a lot. It's like these bundles of "energy" that travel through me and take over parts of me: my muscles, my focuses, my feelings, etc etc etc. In waves. I have options to manage and direct them, but they can get unmanagably strong. I saw in Snowden's movie that he has untreated seizures too, which is cool. I don't believe the movie in general of course. ----- Hoooooly frack. Holy frack. Holy frack. Holy frack. I wrote this on my computer a lot earlier. It applies again now. It's easier to post to the list than write to the computer. ----- I have other neurological symptoms than just this. Some of the nerves have wired together to my hands such that I can't move all my fingers independently, nor put my hands in certain postures. I have similar things throughout my experience (of nerves wired together that shouldn't be), but I talk about the hands because it's really clear to demonstrate to a doctor. "I can do this with this hand, my other hand does this instead" ... it's weird because i've been a pianist, a guitarist, and a software developer, for most of my life, so I used to be really pretty incredible with my hands. It's harder to get treated for neurological issues after getting radiation treatment for cancer. They always want to blame the radiation treatment. The issues started prior to that, but they weren't there, then. Regardless I did eventually pursue the hand thing a little -- it involves seeing specialists for that specific area of the body -- and it was traced to a specific nerve. Unfortunately insurance pans out there, because there's no known treatment for issues with that nerve. Additionally, the doctor was a couple states distant. But mostly I haven't hunted that down to follow through because it 'feels' like 'stopping mind control'. 'Mind control' is unfortunately a story that part of me believes is the reason for my issues. That part of me acts to stop me from helping myself, blaming that phrase for its behavior. Learning that some people are abusively hypnotised to have that experience has helped me process it. The normal route is antipsychotics and time, I believe, for experiences like that. I have had difficulty pursuing that route. Similar to the difficulty I have with everything else. ----- The -- whoopsie, amnesia. ----- With the amnesia, maybe I can get back to level 1, find a task, keep going. The 'seizury' things tend to spread great tension, possibly traumatic fear, onto my various behaviors, so it can be hard to find ones that don't just restimulate them, afterwards. But I have a number of approaches to do just that. It's easiest if I can find a task that is different, in a couple ways, from my previous task. Especially if the parts I have the strongest tension around are different. I'd kind of feel safer with a non-AI task, but my parts aren't so sure about this. Given my severe difficulty accomplishing absolutely anything at all, the parts value AI because it's the biggest, most powerful, set of prosthetic training wheels. Progress made in the most general software can be reused in the most general situations. It's a good investment. So time is regularly spent glancing at AI, which then often produces quick freakouts from the stopping pattern, which can freak out in proportion to how much power it imagines me getting. ------ Another thing I've found is cryptocurrency investment. I used to play with cryptocurrency before my life turned upside down. Made money on mt gox back when you could predict the market pretty accurately just by looking at the order table. Now it's been years of struggle to just brush against cryptocurrency. Projects to make a trading bot filled with tracks of sudden disruption. I've been using commercial trading bots on an asian exchange. They are very crippled. I don't why such things are so hard to find, and so very crippled, but maybe it's business agreements? It's probably the same reason that wall st used to be inaccessible to the nonwealthy, I suppose. Anyway, using these bots makes a strange result in my patterns. The confused parts of me, still trying to complete a basic trading bot or somehow feel that i'm worthy enough to exchange money, are partly satisfied by this, and I'm not really working on a bot any more, at this time. Meanwhile the other parts seem satisfied that i'm not making money very reliably, and that a company is in control of it if I do. Note: mention trading bot company so others can try. I found it from a ridiculous pump chat. And, i've been talking to chat spammers a little. They can be reasonable people. ----- Bit of amnesia again. Had some more content. Maybe i'll just sit here for a bit. ----- I've been pretty successful at being outdoors at this point. But my pattern for laying down and freaking out isn't sure what to do. Maybe the environments are unfamiliar? Hmmmm. Here in the truck, i'm worried I could hurt myself. There are possessions scattered around I could damage, and hard objects I could hit my head on. I have a helmet, though, that I could wear. Outside, I think i'm worried that it would rain on me and get the stuff in my pockets -- papers, cell phone[s], wallet -- wet and damaged. In the past I would use plastic bags for this. I'm also worried I could get very cold. When I 'freak out' I can enter a state where I can't really walk for a number of hours. The weather's been warm, but waking up at 4am with difficult moving and without preparation for sleeping outdoors can seem concerning. I do have warm bedding. I use a word "resonance" for how patterns latch onto things they share mutual benefit with. I see vibration in the behaviors of autonomous processes, and I think the word "frequency" that plays out in how something as complex as a brain can have spectral peaks that contain real meaning on an EEG, is because of this "resonance" between neurons in circuits in the brain. Life has cycles, and these cycles mutualize, like insects pollinating flowers in those days of the year that they are open. I think my "freaking out" patterns have been resonating with my "going indoors" patterns. It's harder to put the helmet on -- I haven't been doing that recently. It's harder to freak out in my sleeping bag -- it's easier to freak out with support of the "going indoors" pattern. Do I even need to freak out? Hmmmm I may. ----- Taking a break. Breathing. Maybe we can get out of "level 1" and have some normalish level of behavior control. ----- My helmet is here. Maybe I won't "freak out" , maybe I will, but I can lay down a little.

[ot] [sacred] Tears of Genocide
by Karl 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

The things that have happened to us, indicate that entire communities of people have been enslaved and eradicated elsewhere, both in the past and ongoing. I would like to hold this apparent fact, as a context for actions. To know that what we do is incredibly important. That every choice we make, is among this situation, and impacts it. Great respect for what has been lost. For things we have yet to learn what are. Respect we have yet to learn how to live fully.

ASSASSINPHONE call for Jim Dumbell
by professor rat 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Point-and-shoot - Fire-and-forget - Launch-and-leave - when you absolutely, positively have to kill every Nazi-Fag-Moron in the chatroom. APster on board - the original KILLER-APP and still the best. Accept no cheap ' AP ' substitutes from any cheap carpetbagging creeps. Like Jim Bell. When you Drag-and-Drop any old idea - say " Propaganda-of-the-deed " online then you better not miss. If you don't pay strict attention to conversation tactics and narrative strategy your product will be jailbroken in no time. Then your own life won't be worth a clipped piece of silver. Like Jim Bells.
