But anyhow, note the limitations. I don’t think we’ll actually get Total Artist Unemployment, because these artificial NNs don’t do general reasoning, which limits their capabilities (apparently also true for self-driving cars).
However, I can imagine a future in which 10x as much manga-style stuff is created, and the media ecosystem is even more fragmented as micro-genres emerge. Attention resources are limited, though, so we’ll see.

Anyhow, someone needs to use this as the avatar generator for a comment system like SSC has. That would be hilarious.
@slatestarscratchpad brah you need to get on this
dentist checkups are this weird inverse Confession where the priest tells you how much you’ve sinned since your last visit.
they’re also serious memento mori because teeth, gums, and bone once lost cannot be regained.
Yet. Tissue engineering mindset.
I look forward to the day that we use vines instead of emojis
it’s the logical progression
well, shit.
In the future, software on our phones will automatically analyze our most recent selfie and convert it to scalable vector graphic renderings of our faces, then adjust them to fit the standardized unicode facial character morphs using specialized neural networks.
Except for me. There will only be one photo on my phone, incorrectly meta-tagged as a selfie.

so Argumate have you gotten the photosynthesis mod yet
This is not a place of honor. We buried a ton of useless poison sludge here. It shoots invisible death rays that kill you slowly, so don’t dig it up or you’ll die.
why don’t we just surround it with something even more toxic that kills people quickly; a few dead explorers could save a village from radiation poisoning
Booby traps just signal that there’s something valuable being protected.
reverse psychology: surround it with huge advertising signs that visibly reek of desperation
I mean, we aren’t opening up Qin Shi Huang’s underground Mercury (and possibly crossbow) funhouse so maybe explorers in the future would indeed be deterred
only because he made sure that legends of his House Of Fun And Pain were passed down the generations for us to receive!
which is really the lesson here; if you don’t want people to be harmed by your nuclear waste dumps after the collapse of civilization, maybe you could try avoiding the collapse of civilization.
I brought this up with the Central Committee and said we should reprocess the spent fuel for a 300-400 year storage time instead.
They rejected my proposal on the grounds that the collapse of civilization would inherently involve the destruction of the United States of America as a political entity, and therefore anyone harmed by digging up a ten thousand-year-old radioactive waste dump under such conditions would, almost by definition, not be an American citizen.
Sometimes I think the decision to put that Kissinger-Trump bot in charge of the DoE was a mistake.
infernalfarndamn asked:
Why does my theory of gender need to explain camgirls? Unless I'm operating on a different definition of that term.
argumate answered:
Why is camgirl a viable career? Why are there so many camgirls? Why are there so few camgirls? Why are there almost no camboys, and those that do exist are mostly patronised by gay men? What are the demographics of camgirls and their customers, and why? And so on.
neverlandsoundgirl said: the answer to all these questions is misogyny
neverlandsoundgirl said: next
I don’t think that is a sufficient answer, in that it doesn’t actually provide an explanation for any of this; one could invert all of the questions above and still provide misogyny as an answer, making it unfalsifiable.
Hai, hai, indeed, my precious Argumate-san.
In fact, the answer to all these questions is testosterone.
I’ve been spiking the water supply with it for decades. Centuries, actually. Some might even say millennia.
I’m wanted in 144 Everett branches, soon to be 145. I just can’t stand the weak and pathetic beasts of the original Earth. I want this world’s men to be monsters. Haha.
You just know that someone in this general circle is going to have historical levels of impact, and some poor grad student in the 2130s is going to write their dissertation exploring who @argumate might have been and what impact they had on $famous-person’s early years
*crosses fingers* please no spree killers
I was thinking more along the lines of Alan Greenspan.
While Bereton and Yu argue that Mitigated Chaos was an alias of one of several other figures in the Post-Neoreactionary movement that emerged early in the 2030s, and Harvey argues that Mitigated Chaos was a joint project between several authors, we demonstrate using reverse textual analysis and schedule modelling based on post timing and employment records that the true identity of Mitigated Chaos was Robin Lo, a DMV clerk located in Oklahoma City at the time of the Second American Revolution.
We dispute the arguments in Levy (2078) that Mitigated Chaos was the original name of the highly obscure VR film author “Destiny Playwright.”

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
