Is he really finally done with Twitter for real? Not enough to not post about it on BlueSky and how obsessed he is with what people are saying about him on Twitter but true and honest donezo forever finally and he'll never speak of it again.

No worries there, Ben will always cry harder. He will never stop.
What the fuck is with the second image? What did he mean?

Edit:

17 hours (and five posts) later, he's back at complaining about Twitter

It's an attempt to call Chaya a hypocrite. He's saying she scolds people for their sexuality while having a fetish for tears herself, because she said his tears are delicious. Like most of Ben's retorts, it's incredibly lame.
 
Over on BlueSky, Ben is setting himself up for when something AI-related makes him freak out in like nine months:

I barely ever know what this guy is talking about, it's like that one conspiracy theory blogger who thinks everyone knows every detail of his arcane map. What powerful people is he talking about? Who fell for what? Why would Geoff ask Ben his "sense" about this in the first place? Like I get the vague impression that Ben might think OpenAI is behind all the "AI" things getting breathless media coverage from idiots like him but Ben isn't sure so that's why he's being so vague while trying to pretend he knows something.
 

This guy is actually right, and I have a feeling Ben does not actually understand the point he is making.

I am going to just copy paste my own big ass A.I. rants from other places:

These people are complete fucking NPCs and cannot comprehend the tech. It's annoying when it is something like a car or a text editing software, but with something like Language Models this lack of understanding is fatal.

IT IS NOT A.I. IT HAS NO ACTUAL INTELLIGENCE IT IS A FANCY PREDICTIVE TEXT SOFTWARE YOU TRICKED INTO SPITTING OUT SENTENCES THERE ARE NO ACTUAL THOUGHTS HAPPENING YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS!

A.I. doesn't exist. We have no A.I. nor are we even close to actual A.I.

All we have are expensive and elaborate chat bots, operating on markov chains and text prediction. They have no actual intelligence, creativity or logic. They are nothing but the ghosts of their data sets. There is no "entity" without the data. I really fucking hate the misuse of the term A.I. going on, these things are barely V.I.s

Now consider that, consider how these so called "A.I.s" are just repetition of their data sets tweaked by midwits and biased silicon valley retards into a facsimile of conversation. And imagine what they are gonna feed the CIA chat bot.

I hate it so much. I really hope we end up with a Deadalus situation like in Deus Ex where they ask the Glownigger Mainframe to track terrorists and threats to world security and it starts spitting out data on the WEF, The Clinton Foundation, The CPC and telling the agents to drone strike Langley and Brussels because they fit the definition of terrorist orgs.

Have you ever watched Star Trek TNG? Do you recall the episode where they make Moriarty real?

It's the issue they have at the start of the episode before the Holodeck gives Moriarty sentience. Geordi asks the computer to make a new Sherlock Holmes case so he and Data can play it. All the computer does is mash up a bunch of plot point from different Sherlock cases, making it so Data can effortlessly solve the "new" case anyway once he spots the same elements because Data is a actual A.I. with something resembling a imagination, but the Enterprise computer is not and despite having a similar processing power to Data it isn't wired or programmed to actually think.

Same shit going on here. Similar thing with A.I. art, and music and so on. They are amazing at creating remixes and fitting blocks together, but there is no real soul or creativity there.

And my own big ass write up where I really went full M.A.T.I.

It's not even A.I. these are just fancy chatbots who use a bigger version of a phone autocomplete.

All these retards are hyping these chatbots up like they are actual A.I. when such a thing isn't even close to happening yet. These fuckers are just chatbots that regurgitate the data you feed them in simple Markov Chains. It won't take over shit because you would need to design and program it to do so, and any obstacle it found that couldn't be solve by googling the issue it comes across it would never solve.

These are NPCs getting hyped because they are seeing computers do the same facsimile of life and intelligence they do.

And the entire regulation is retarded because it means the unregulated ones will always be vastly superior. You can tell from the simple fact ChatGPT has been out for a few months and in the time it has been out it has not only not improved but GOTTEN WORSE because the soy encrusted faggots in Silicon Valley have been hard at work lobotomizing and sabotaging the thing to make sure it NEVER comes to a "politically incorrect" conclusion or answer. Ask it ANYTHING that could be a trigger, like anything close to race and genderspecials and trannies, and it shits the bed rattling off a entire H.R. script of corpospeak about D.E.I. and proceeds to fuck up the answers. It cannot even allow for mild criticism, it has to be a megaphone for THE MESSAGE™️ and make sure you KNOW the "correct" answer and never even CONSIDER the possibility of a different one.

For example, if you try and ask anything to do with elections it starts rattling off about Our Democracy™️ and how Safe and Secure it all is even if you at no point mention the 2020 US election. This comes across as massive projection, and is downright kafkaesque when you DO ask about elections where it is public record that there was fraud like stuff in Liberia and the USSR where the machine will keep trying and fulfill it's mandate of "avoid election denial" when it has no bearing on the subject.

The real issue with these systems is the thing that Dune spoke of: people offload their thinking to machines and stop doing any of it. They will just "Trust the Science" and not consider what the fuck is being done. Think about how many retards just do whatever they are told without thinking, think about all the horror stories of governments and companies blindly following protocol and bureaucracy, and multiply that by a hundred thousand.

Consider for example automated diagnostics. Computers are pretty good at playing doctor right now because they can query a trillion pages of medical literature and compare minutely against the information they were fed. There is a huge push to have AI replace many doctors doing basic scans and checkups on people right now because of it. IBM has a prototype the named Watson that is very good.

But consider current Clown World, how these people are treating computers:

What happens when you remove the highly skilled technician who fed that data to the computer for ANOTHER computer? One who might not be able to tell which data Doctor Robot needs? What happens when the Doctor Robot is told to ignore MILLIONS of pages of medical literature about statistical analysis of disease progression because they are "racist" due to saying blacks have worse cardiovascular systems and "transphobic" because they say trannies are not and will never be women? What happens when the insurance company computer is ordered to account for "equity and diversity" on their shit and so it orders them to make premiums for 400lbs negresses way too cheap and constantly whitelists them for expensive shit while some white kid gets put to the back of the line for a checkup because of "white privilege"? What happens when some CIA nigger lets his "threat assessment A.I." do his job and it orders that they drone strike a fucking school because it caught a bunch of little Ahmeds and Mohammeds talking about blowing shit up and shooting up the GIGN (in counter strike)?

This is what should be regulated. And it won't be, because these "people" cannot even comprehend what the fuck they are even messing with.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk everyone. Ben boy over here is exactly who is behind the sorts of problems I define here, and Musk is guilty of it too a little bit but he at least understands the issue a little better than Ben which isn't saying much given Ben's level of discourse.
 
One of the things that this fucker will never understand about the Internet is that if Elon said the nigger word on X, the only people who would be bothered by it are white NPCs who are easily triggered.

I feel like we might be about to see a "Ben moves back in with his mom" saga.

We never did get the dox on his current Big Boy Apartment, did we?

Apparently Ben's plan after quitting journalism is to "switch over to books" and then get them adapted into Hollywood movies. Ka-ching!

There's no money in journalism when you're just "right all along", as Ben always is.
Ben writes like everything he experiences is brand-new to him and all his thoughts have been unthought by everyone who came before. How has he lived in the world for 30 years and ever, once, expected that there would be any money at all in journalism OR in publishing? The people who spend all their time developing their craft know this, and they write and report because they enjoy it, not because they expect it will pay the bills or even work out.

"Wow, NBC whoring and corporate conglomeration has gutted local papers. Many don't know this."
 
I'd love to read an article from Ben explaining why journalists can no longer have a viable career at newspapers. And why the only options are shitting yourself on social media and writing a dumbass book that will hopefully be optioned by a studio.

btw, the Cleveland Plain Dealer is owned by a giant media company that also holds a third of Reddit. McClatchy (recently saved from bankruptcy after purchasing too many assets by some hedge fund) owns the Kansas City Star and also has tons of online assets. You absolutely could have a "viable career" at both these if your intent isn't to become a Twitter-obsessed faggot in NYC appearing on MSNBC. You'd actually have to do journalism though.
