  • Reminder on Stockholm syndrome:

    According to accounts by Kristin Enmark (one of the hostages): the police were acting incompetently, with little care for the hostages’ safety.

    She had criticized the police for pointing guns at the convicts while the hostages were in the line of fire, and she had told news outlets that one of the captors tried to protect the hostages from being caught in the crossfire

    but the prime minister [Palme] told her that she would have to content herself with dying at her post rather than Palme giving in to the captors’ demands.

    Ultimately, Enmark explained she was more afraid of the police, whose attitude seemed to be a much larger, direct threat to her life than the robbers.

    Which could possibly be relevant here, particularly the civil war part.






  • I am all of the issues to some degree and AI outputs to me* just seem like dairy-free maple-coconut water cheese. So personally I’ll just stick with nothing (substantial) until the format/workflow that I’m looking for (hopefully) becomes viable for me.

    Luckily writing a book or painting hyper-realism are not the only type of creativity.

    (also funnily enough, AI currently is just a different set of skills/knowledge especially for the better results or wrangling custom inputs/training/adjustments etc)

    *= Particularly what I can run locally, w/a 1050Ti. But also just really most examples of AI (aside from maybe the stuff that is either extremely overproduced/hand-picked or potentially faked)






  • IMO I don’t ever see them allowing you to stop being a consumer especially not in such a way that makes them look bad. Best can be done is a cop shooting you when you have a mental health crisis. I also could see it being a genuine population crisis if it weren’t even more strict/bureaucracy-hell than MAiD.

    Then of course, there will always be more people pushing back against programs like this than there ever will be for actually improving living conditions. People just don’t want to see or hear any reference to death, continued suffering is a lot more indirect and nebulous and thus ignorable.

    If you’re a woman of the woods who will feed my brain to a bear, that’d put me at 80% on-board. As always, travel would be the issue.

    Though if I was awake for the eating part, I’d definitely make the joke “Is this a Tally Hall reference?” even though I made it now.
