what’s your favorite recipe or something
I make really good cherry-garlic ribs.
roast that at 275 for 5-6 hours
peptide stack
Skunk resin
how many times a day do you cold plunge + sauna?
I bathe in coffee & ginseng every morning
If you already have one, simply detach it. If you don’t have one, simply find a male and ask him to attach his penis to your vagina.
they run on physics
that’s precisely what I’m saying
LLMs display intelligence without consciousness
That’s precisely what I’m saying
doesn’t work as a gotcha
Nobody said anything about a gotcha
magic isn’t real.
Nobody said anything about magic.
If consciousness is a physical process, then a different physical process (such as an intelligent process running on different hardware) cannot be assumed to produce the same result (the result of conscious experience).
Especially if you eat it instead of smoking.
My evening routine consists largely in cleaning my detachable penis and running it through a series of unit tests.
Ah yes, the Fibonacci sequence. Classic.

Part of being optimized is not dwelling on the past.
It’s just part of the optimization process.
While I’m still asleep an AI-generated orchestra radiates subsonic symphonic movements into my cerebral cortex. I awaken when the symphony reaches a crescendo. I take a coffee-ginseng bath while smart contact lenses display the latest economic data. I don’t use the data for anything because that would degrade the quality of the data as it rewires my brain. Then my muscles are electrically stimulated in my electro-gym machine (a repurposed tanning bed designed by Japanese drug lords). Then my blood vessels are cleansed in a zero-G centrifuge laboratory (blood pumped out and replaced with a cleansing saline solution while the blood is filtered of all impurities and finally returned to my body). Then it’s three hours of wall-climbing while screaming at the top of my lungs.
I’m not better at any particular thing. I’ve transcended being better at particular things. I am simply optimized, to the most absolute and radical degree.

Sure, but we need to also avoid situations where we are simply following its protocols while thinking that we’re fighting it. Occupy Wallstreet just vented our energy, and then we went back to work while the same processes accelerated. Terrorism always just increases the power of the police state. Both of these things operate within the protocols of the cyberpunk dystopia, and ultimately facilitate its growth.
The cyberpunk dystopia wants you to fight it. It wants a strong immune system. It wants you to test its boundaries. But I’m not suggesting complacence either.
I would reframe "fighting the cyberpunk dystopia no matter what" into something more human-affirming, just as a starting point. Human communities, human learning and expression, homesteading and communing with nature, anything DIY and IRL, I think all these things are more positive than falling into the excitement-trap of believing that you’re “fighting” the monopoly on violence.
Thought is a process, like math.
You’re making a baseless assumption about the inner being of every process. If you simulate physics then you’re actually doing different physics, where the map is not the terrain. If the hardware is different then the inner being of the thing may very well be different.
You’re actually displaying a lack of imagination here. You’re not considering things other than consciousness. If you simulate the processes which on the surface resemble the processes that you see in the brain when observing from the outside, what you produce may be something equally interesting and yet totally different in-itself from subjective experience.
You don’t know as much as you think you know.
Just generally optimized.
I’m not good, I’m optimized.
