Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Leonard Helplessness]

Robert Chipman has made almost 130,000 tweets since registering his twitter account on March 11, 2011. That is 37.76 tweets per day.

Because twitter accounts are so easily lost to the ether, I thought I would ensure that his twitter history is preserved for the ages. I have saved the following:

• MovieBob's twitter timeline as of the evening of August 2nd, 2020
• A simple list of MovieBob's followers as of the evening of August 2nd, 2020
• A detailed list of the twitter accounts MovieBob follows as of the evening of August 2nd, 2020
• Every photo that MovieBob has ever posted on his twitter

I saved the first, second, and third of these as CSV files per some scripts I ran. For the fourth, after running a script to download every image, I found that I have 3,362 images saved, a total of 438 megabytes, and and at first glance it mostly appears to be incredibly banal. I might could upload it somewhere if someone's abso-fucking-lutely sure there's a dong or something to be found.

As for the CSVs, see the attached. As a word to the wise, since CSV files are extremely easy to doctor, if you run into something juicy you should probably paste the link (helpfully included as column U of each line on the CSV) into an archiver. Have fun, frens!

So what is the 'post-national' coalition going to be fighting? Aliens?

Nazis of course. You need to ask?

One of the suggested results is now "Moviebob poland"
Bets on when every single suggestion is going to be about dumb shit he's said?

Since there are only three left, I'll give it three months.

Cryogenics, like FTL travel, assumes facts not in evidence: that humans can have their vital processes suspended indefinitely and restarted without damage, despite being in no way evolved for it. Admittedly, it's not as "hard" a limit as the laws of physics, since we know of other organisms that can go into periods of suspended animation for long periods of time such as anthrax spores, but they're far smaller and simpler than we are.

Furthermore, any such technology would need extensive testing once invented, since if we don't know that our generation ships' technology will keep us alive for generations, all such ships might be simply extraordinarily complex and expensive premature tombs for our species' best and brightest, launched into the darkness of interstellar space like the world's most metal version of Viking funerals. If you want to make sure your cryogenics systems work for generations, you need to test them for that long; Bob is definitely not going to live long enough to see the conclusion of any such test even if one started tomorrow. Just as well; sending frozen Bob into the unknown universe is the first contact version of dialing a random number, then holding the phone up to your butt and farting.

Automation isn't in a much better state. Again, we would need to be sure that our systems would work for decades without maintenance (if the crew is cryogenically suspended), or we are allowing our crews' technical skills to decline without practice (if we use automation to make up for slackness on the societal engineering side). Also, you can't have a repairer machine to repair the repairer machine that repairs the repairer machine (etc., forever); you need a general-purpose system that can repair anything, including itself. And there's the problem of what the system will do in unforeseen situations, as mentioned above. Basically, when you try to automate an entire generation ship, you are essentially trying to replace a human society with a robot society, which might work better but is even more unknown at present than a stable advanced human society. And again, facts not in evidence: we don't know at this point if it's even possible for a form of intelligence to understand how it works well enough to duplicate it in a new medium. So we don't know if we can create sufficiently strong AI, or have it last long enough for interstellar travel, or maintain its loyalty once we set it loose.

Human space travel is a pipe dream as long as humans remain human. Despite our intelligence, we still are a species tied to the instinct to survive in the very short term. And things like political views, religious beliefs, sexual behavior, investment in childrearing, tendency to aggression, ingroup/outgroup preference and intelligence depend a lot on environmental factors. History is always evolving - people who grow up in a safe, resource rich environment may develop a personality of sloth, stupidity and hedonism, which causes widespread collapse, which then causes people to toughen up, get smarter and rebuild. Society is always evolving towards more functional or less functional states, and the only way to keep people on a spaceship from launching nuclear missiles at each other would be to have some sort of Uberclass guiding the social development of the population. The Uberclass may have to be robots, as human guides risk becoming susceptible to the same vices that the wider human population is subject to. The Uberclass would also have to be powerful enough to impose their will on the human population, as most humans would strain against any limits they are given and would try to develop a way around them.

There is a TV series (written by Harlan Ellison under a pseudonym) called the Starlost. It's about a colony ship that tries to address the instability of human evolution by dividing the human population into different domes with different cultures and tech levels assigned to them. One of the domes contains a population that lives like the Amish - one of the domes has an all male population that reproduces via cloning, etc. And no, I don't know how the Fallout game series managed to not get sued by Ellison as the Vault System sounds awfully close to Ellison's dome idea.) Anyway, the idea behind the Dome System is that at least one human population is bound to survive long enough to reach the destination of the colony ship. Unfortunately, the main bridge was destroyed, leaving the ship drifting towards a star. The AI now running the ship has to get some of the humans from the Amish dome to help it reprogram and reorient the ship. The series was never finished and only had 16 episodes, and most of its budget went to hire DAVE from 2001: A Space Odyssey as the MC and to build a bridge set that would never be used. The premise of the show is interesting, in that it shows that, even if the planning behind a colony ship is sound, a random space accident could still bring it all to nothing.

Also, I'll bet 100 bucks that MovieBob has never heard of the Starlost...

TL;DR, if MovieBob is counting on technology to turn him into a swole robot and get him off this gay Earth, he might want to pack a 25lb McDonald's lunch.

Robert Chipman has made almost 130,000 tweets since registering his twitter account on March 11, 2011. That is 37.76 tweets per day.

That's roughly 1.5 tweets per hour non-stop for nine years straight.

Twitter is to Bob what cocaine was to Hunter S. Thompson.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

That went over OK, there were a large number of women candidates elected that year and I don't think anyone thought she was secretly in charge of the operation.

She didn’t go over okay at ALL with millions of people. Remember the disastrous 60 Minutes appearance when she got all snippy about not being “some little Tammy Wynette, standing by my man”? She even got trashed for wearing a headband lol. I remember it all pretty vividly because I hated her values but was mostly fascinated by the visceral, widespread hatred for her (PL: it was the first and last election I participated in).

 

[John Spetsnaz]

That's another thing I can almost "relate" to with Bob, a few years ago I was very pro-machines replacing humans, machines are infallible etc. In fact, I still am, but I actually went to college and got a degree in computer science. The type of automation Bob talks about is decades away. Some jobs are easy to automate, but ironically physical labor is probably one of the hardest. If anything, and you can research this yourself, its white collar jobs like accountants and data scientists, stock brokers etc that are more likely to be replaced soon. There is no "tick-tock" on farmers because its actually really hard. That's why we can automate data entry but its really hard to get a robot to do something as "simple" as walking, because the human body is actually pretty advanced. Just think about the steps that you do without thinking when you navigate a room, stepping over and around furniture, knowing where your feet will fall, picking up an object, grasping it just the right amount, not too much. All of that has to be deliberate in a machine, at least until we develop a general AI that can learn. Language and image processing is another, because millions of years of evolution means we can understand things intuitively, but machines can't. Humans can easily adapt to an unexpected obstacle because we are an animal and animals evolved to do that. Machines have to either be programmed, (like a decision tree) or "taught" (like a neural net). And that takes a long time and is very inaccurate. It's taken us years to have cars that can stay inside lines, not even stay on a road without lines, and most people learn to drive in a few months. Really, even children understand how to drive a car.

Another issue is bias, its a fact that facial recognition and other stuff (like those sensors that turn the bathroom sink on) have a hard time "seeing" black people. If a Trump voting subhuman like myself can recognize this, then surely Bob must? Nope, I've never seen him genuinely wrestle with the idea longer than a throwaway sentence ("work out the kinks" or something). But my dude these aren't small issues. I want robots to take over the world too but I do actually want them to not be biased and to function correctly, and we're a long way off from that. I'm not a "ban facial recognition" person, but its a reasonable position even if I think its kinda Ludditic. It's also a standard progressive position that machine bias is so bad as to almost render this stuff unusable, and again I disagree. But I'm a Trump voter, bobbo shouldn't agree with me. And even I can give the issue sufficient air-time to at least recognize it exists and needs to be fixed.
Bob's love of technology really is "I-fucking-love-science" level stuff. Too many people read science-fiction and think it makes them knowledgeable about science. It's really out of character for me to acknowledge this but its true.

I know its cliche to call Bob a nazi or a eugenicist, but he genuinely seems like a crypto-fascist. If he didn't have to just barely stay on the "woke" side, he'd be tweeting IQ race statistics. I wouldn't even be surprised if he finally gets truly "cancelled" that he delves into blatant racism (like against black people) because his current attitude shows that kind of thought is still buried there inside him.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Bob believes in an ever progressive form of evolution, not really understanding what it actually is. Blue collar workers who work with their hands are evolving backwards, while scientists and creatives who work with their brains have properly evolved.

He’s stupid to understand that working with their hands is connected with working their brains.

Chris, don't do this to yourself. Don't do it to your family. The internet is not your friend. Weirdo troons like Faith Naff are not your friend. You already have 5-7 podcasts, a patreon that doesn't cover them all, and a family that you've gone on the record to beg money for. Internet fame is not worth it Chris. Sarah and your two children will thank you for letting this sleeping dog lie. You've already proven yourself better than your big bubba Bob by owning land, having a real job, marrying a real woman, and making babies with her. You win Chris.

 

[Foltest]

FFS Chris, stop trying to be Bob! Do you really want to go down the rabbithole and become a laughing stock of the internet? You were doing fine with being an average joe.

On a diplomatic mission, the crew visit a planet that is waging a destructive war fought solely by computer simulation, but the casualties, including the crew of the USS Enterprise, are supposed to be real.​

Probably not robots. We would never turn against you...

Does anyone recall what Chris did before he started trying to imitate his brother? Maybe COVID killed that and he thinks this is his next best option.

According to linkedin, he's been a "Senior Engineer" for over a year now. I guess there's no more worlds for him to conquer at his job ?

Looks like they make PSUs and other high voltage equipment. Depending on where they're manufactured/how orders are impacted, he may be on furlough, but I'm not really familiar with the industry or the area enough to be confident about it.

[Karl der Grosse]

I can't believe Chris has watched Bob's online income steadily diminish, month after month, for years now and said to himself, "Yeah, I want some of that instead of my well-paying adult job". What a moron.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

Chris is right to be looking for ways to diversify his income. Most people have SOMETHING they can do to make extra money, whether it’s dog walking, babysitting, resume writing, home organizing (obviously not one of his fortés) or about a million other things. Most of them can be done more easily and lucratively than trying to become an e-celeb. More importantly, they don’t require exposing your thin-skinned self (and siblings) to internet scorn.

This is going to be such a slow-motion car crash. I’m starting to think the Chipmans are lower IQ than the 110 midwit points I was spotting them.

ETA: Chris inherited the house and land from his grandparents, he said. He did not earn the money to pay for it. I wonder if Bob inherited money or got excluded completely for bringing the family into disrepute/being unlovable.
