I've seen no evidence anyone is actually trying to kill her.
I have to say, back when his trial was going on, I was convinced that Rittenhouse would not live to see the 2025 inauguration. It still might happen, but I'm pleasantly surprised that my prediction seems to be miscalibrated. Scratch that, I forgot accelerationism for a second, I'm unpleasantly surprised.

The book I'm currently into has a fictional cryptocurrency with a so-called “feedback problem” with its algorithm: it's viable to create sockpuppets and bounce transactions between them to ramp up your reputation. The resident math genius diagnoses that the protocol must be redesigned, because the problem is isomorphic with the Collatz conjecture. I can't imagine a way how it could be, but I have only a surface math knowledge and am only familiar with the conjecture from its Wikipedia article and a 4chan shitpost. Is there a plausible design where the two are similar? Or is it just used a piece of technobabble?
A nice work otherwise, judging from half of a book of a trilogy. Could possibly be a modernized Atlas Shrugged without the monologues.

If it's the plane out of a gathering, I found the way I want to go out.

A two square meter sleeping pad and nutrient sludge for billions of proles is energy and matter that are uselessly diverted from achieving the goals of people with the private keys to the AGIs.

The social status aspect is true, I concede. Pre-2020 my go-to example of one of the few future remaining employment opportunities was live-action Titanic reenactment (the event, not the movie). But in the age of the degrowth I no longer believe that the desire to be better than dominates over the indignation of expending resources on the lessers.
As for the mechanism, why, Fully Automated Space Holocaust, of course! Imagine how much more efficient the Final Solution could have been if engineered and carried out by an AI! Or, to be less glib, but more pathetically nerdy, the way it went in the story from my link: a barest pittance handed out to the useless eaters of the non-capital owning class, discontent, violent response, riots in response to the response, outright massacre.

Nothing should be done because nothing can be done. You trying to mock him is in reality the accurate summary of the situation.
So you can’t win the smallest battles, you’re always losing, and you’re never going to do anything. Is that your plan?
I don't know about his plan, but mine the last couple years has been to drink myself to death.

It is not the only reason. The need to expend the resources on us is another reason why you would want to do that. How is it destruction of wealth when you now have SolarSystem/1e6 instead of (SolarSystem - 1e10*UBI)/1e6?

And I might have been too hasty with the “explicit” part. True, since the start of school and forever then every official messaging says that you're worth only as much as what you do for the country, but they still shy away from a straightforward second part, l'état ç'est nous, if I got my pronouns right.

My bad, the title went away after rephrasing, it's Titan by Robert Kroese (Mammon trilogy 1).

You just modded me for my amount of empathy towards females, remember that? It's the same thing. I'm sick and tired of being forced to extend my hand towards people who want to see me killed. That guy's dead family would have cheered and hollered watching me whimpering before my execution by their preferred government, why the fuck do I have to be a bigger man?

I would be inconsolable if my family were executed, but only because they're my family. I'm just a weak human and not a flawless embodiment of righteous political judgement.

No, I checked, it was you who recently said that you're glad people of my ethnicity are dying. Fuck you all, I hope the AI will be a paperclipper.

Lockdowns, BLM riots, Ashli Babbitt, the protest in question, and the Ukraine are not enough of SHTF for you? Anyway, I am merry! I cry gin-scented sentimental tears every night when I read HFY-type stories and imagine a species that wouldn't want my death because in the automated era I'm net negative for the controllers of the AI, a filthy carbon producer and meat eater, and a White male.

Thank you for such a detailed reply! Do I understand correctly that the main point is that you expect number of same-sex relationships to grow faster than linearly with proportion of bisexuals? And I feel bad to ask for even more elaboration after such a reply, but I was most interested in something you only just touched on: “a massive potential for changes in a lot of norms, both in single-sex and mixed-sex environments,” what have such changes been in the communities you know?

Yes, it's the relation I'm interested in, there shouldn't be one in a general case, but can there be a specific one where it applies?

I haven't met anybody in the top ten thousand period. I don't even know how many of them are even publicly known outside of their circle. But it's easily extrapolated from the dominant narratives, general human nature, and the traits which are selected for even in the people with far less power.

I knew that the majority of users here would want me dead after I expressed support for the only historical figure ever who stood for people like me. The handful rest would kill me for some other characteristics if I revealed them. So go on, ban me in a symbolic way of advocating for my death, I expect nothing less. After all, I would put a screwdriver through your eyeballs if I could.

There are no goals I can make progress towards. Screwing a young pretty intern? I'm too ugly and disgusting. Stopping the planetary sweep of the woke ideology? Ask a Roman how well they fared against Christianity. Anything in between is the same, there was a math theorem about things between two endpoints, I forgot how it's called or what it proof is.
Let me tell you about tumblr user L.-I. who is one, max two degrees separated from people with tumblr accounts from here. That user takes numerical evidence of being better than other people, like ELO, extremely seriously. Even I, who enjoys to an unhealthy extent an opportunity to feel superior to somebody, find this somewhat obsessive. And one time I made a mistake of commenting under a complaint of being useless as a writer on the account of how few reviews and likes a fanfic received, that the quality of writing is only one aspect, maybe not even the dominant one. There's timing, networking, catering to popular tastes in fandoms and tropes, so on and so forth. The mistake was that, apparently, all that and more had been taken into account already. And still, barely any readers. Tell me Will, if somebody like that writes only for the result to perish unseen when AO3 servers are taken offline, what chance do I have with my stilted words and this tiny comment taking me more than ten minutes to compose?
Edit: and, to be clear, I didn't give up without trying. My latest foray into writing a fanfic got whole whopping 111 views after more than a year. The only question about an original work would be if that figure would be 1 order of magnitude lower, or 2.

This forum is not a personal blog, but we're low and deep enough by now. There is a feature usually only seen in books and games that I've always wanted in my home. After boozing enough over the course of a week or two I implemented that home “improvement” project. The satisfaction afterwards? Less than an hour total, there are some bottles and some porn I've thought back to for longer by now.

Going against the juggernaut of an ideology that is progressivism/woke/whatever you want to call it? No thanks. It can make transnational corporations jump. (As an aside, I wish we lived in a cyberpunk world, that'd be an improvement.) I'm deeply unhappy, that's an astute observation. The world is rapidly going to shit, people en masse are espousing something that to me sounds profoundly insane, and something or other is going to kill me soon.

20 years from now I'm dead. Even 2 seem dicey. And I'm not going to spend them working more than the barest minimum if I can't even get hot sex from it.

When I read women's opinions on men and interactions with men it makes me see red that makes me want to follow in Ted Bundy's footsteps. I wish I was born gay.
