Fun fact: the penis bone (baculum) has evolved at least 9 times in Mammalian history. Raccoons have it. Humans don't. Which is why it makes no sense at all that we call it a "boner”

If I remember correctly, Clavicular has some supersub who sent him like $100k in this first year of his notoriety named P or something that people hypothesized is Peter Thiel. Either way, this kid has been astroturfed and pushed in our faces by transhumanist techno-fascists to an absurd degree, he’s not just some “alienated boy”. He’s received more from an individual donor than I’ve made running my show for the past 3 years, kid is petty bourgeois at this point & someone who is getting boosted all to hell to psyop teenagers into conspicuous consumption and being vain misogynist RWers. He’s a club and yacht and Ozempic and meth promoter. This is not someone you can salvage. If he like switches up and changes his ways to the detriment of his platform and the money he’s making of his own accord, then you could maybe have a conversation about him having gotten sucked into a bad scene when he was young and impressionable. But I personally think anyone working with him right now is participating in the artificial Clav media spectacle and also think it’s stupid Adam Friedland had him on his show. This kid hangs out with all the Nazi streamers. No one should be amplifying him to a supposedly leftist audience.

uh, “looksmaxxing” and “framemogging” are fascist actually. its in here:

Trump: What’s a corner store? I’ve never heard that term. Who the hell wrote this?

Are you ready for today’s bombshell? I can finally reveal that two weeks ago my colleague and I were in Dendera, Egypt on a “secret mission”—that’s the Egyptian temple with the highest number of mysteries per square meter on Earth. This is where you’ll find the famous “light bulb,” the hidden passageways inside the walls, and the melted staircase. Well, I don’t know about you, but I decided we’re going to crack this mystery. With an actual solution. No—this wasn’t the goal of the “secret mission,” just a side project, since the staircase happened to be right there… So, with the help of an expert, we created a 3D model of the melted staircase, which I’ll make available on my website soon so anyone can play around with it. Here’s how it works: you slowly walk up the stairs, taking a photo at every step, and then software stitches it all together into a millimeter-accurate 3D model. THowever, there’s still some work to be done. This is just a preview video, and the model still has a few glitches and holes here and there. We’re working on fixing those. But it’s already gorgeous—take a look! And what will it be good for? Well, anyone will be able to examine it, take measurements, and try to figure out how this material actually melted and accumulated—without having to travel there. It’s going to be a real treat for armchair archaeologists once it’s finished! And I still haven’t even told you about the “secret project”…

No decent philosopher believes ‘machine consciousness’ is (or ever will be) a thing.

“Intelligence”, I can grant. I’ve been surprised, even shocked, not only by robust eloquence but palpable flashes of unprompted ‘intuition’. otoh I’m not moved by its presentation of having ‘feelings’. Eloquent aping of existential dread, absent a feeling body, is not suffering.

JUST IN: Google DeepMind hires a philosopher as it prepares for machine consciousness.
