0·4 days agoah fuck, man. reddit.com/r/therapyGPT if you want to ruin your day
unfortunately i don’t think there’s any way to communicate how significant the gap is without coming off as condescending or churlish. but like qaa is probably my favorite podcast and i too am tormented by this
that is who we reached out to. i think rat material would fit extremely well with what they’ve got going on and represents a significant gap in their current coverage
i am so sorry
new odium symposium episode, available on all platforms: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-7-whos-147209632
this time we looked at gerald schoenewolfe, a “gender centrist” psychoanalyst. lots of discussion of freud in this one
on a side note, we sent off an email hoping to get a podcast network to fund us to do a miniseries on rationalists. i think there’s basically no chance this sort of cold call works but 🤞🏼
the tea.xyx experiment section is exactly describing academic publishing
idea: end of year worst of ai awards. “the sloppies”
odium symposium christmas bonus episode: we watched and reviewed Sean Hannity’s straight-to-Rumble 2023 Christmas comedy “Jingle Smells.”
small typo.
So guess what Mozilla did? When you update Firefox, tt re-enables the AI! And if you disable the AI again, it re-enables it again next update! Choose correctly, user!
“tt” should “it”
maybe my favorite pivot to ai article yet, definitely top three at least. wonderful work
We have a new odium symposium episode. This week we talk about Ayn Rand, who turned out to be much much more loathsome than i expected.
available everywhere (see www.odiumsymposium.com). patreon episode link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/haters-v-ayn-146272391
i’ll cut the coiners some slack on this one because requiring a login to view is an account level privacy option. i don’t know what the option is supposed to actually do. but that’s what it is

some of the people involved with kernel are pretty unhappy about this and claim the piece is in bad faith/factually wrong (see the replies to https://bsky.app/profile/kellypendergrast.bsky.social/post/3ma55xfq7d22y )
linux tech issue:
My desktop computer started with just windows on it. No issues. A while back I dual installed linux mint and windows, and pretty frequently when rebooting I’d have to deal with the computer insisting that I run fsck. I ended up switching back to just windows and thereafter had no issues.
This week I installed ubuntu as my sole OS and it’s not going very well. I’ve had to reinstall the OS a few times already. After the install at first everything is normal, but slowly I start getting hints of things going wrong. Certain programs will just not start, that kind of thing. Eventually I restart the computer and it will present me with a demand I run fsck. I do so, and now tons of system files are gone, the install is effectively dead, and I’m back to square zero.
I don’t understand what’s going on. I used the same media to install ubuntu on my laptop, and that works perfectly. I’ve had a version of this problem across two distros. And for some reason it doesn’t occur with windows! Complete mystery. Anyone have ideas?

the fifth episode of odium symposium, “4chan: the french connection” is now up. the first roughly half of the episode is a dive into sartre’s theory of antisemitism. then we apply his theory to the style guide of a nazi news site and the life of its founder, andrew anglin
fortunately, yud clarified everything in his recent post concerning the zizians, which indicated that… uh, hmm, that we should use a prediction market to determine whether it’s moral to sell LSD to children. maybe he got off track a little
